But now Marvel (and uh, Hasbro) have picked a character that they say \u201cmay be the only hero powerful enough to stop the threat the Avengers face,\u201d <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/marvel-and-hasbro-unveil-new-avengers-doomsday-toys-see-the-x-men-captain-america-and-thor-in-action-exclusive-12026736\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/people.com\/marvel-and-hasbro-unveil-new-avengers-doomsday-toys-see-the-x-men-captain-america-and-thor-in-action-exclusive-12026736\" aria-label=\"according to a new press release\">according to a new press release<\/a> promoting Doomsday action figures. I mean, yes, it\u2019s a toy-based press release, but it is also an official one from Marvel.<\/p>\n<p>The hero is Shang-Chi and his Ten Rings, ones he learned how to master in his own movie before the MCU made him disappear for far too long. I think he\u2019s lucky he made it into this movie with the way they\u2019ve treated him.<\/p>\n<p>(L-R) Gambit (Channing Tatum) and Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) in Marvel&#8217;s AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.

Well, that\u2019s probably a debate for both CBM movie and comic experts, but out of everyone it does seem like Shang-Chi will be one of the most powerful.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e70c0fc0479d6e48fb619481effb0b6b8\">Ant-Man: I mean, I guess he defeated Kang, but come on.<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e2ea9451557b603cdb9a7fe0a25dd2172\">Super-Soldiers: Bucky, Red Guardian, John Walker, Steve Rogers. Not good enough.<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e797e8723ac2bdc20c9d5c3e821fff6f8\">Normal Humans: Yelena Belova, Ghost, Falcon, Captain America. No shot.<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ee1ae05d585c1f1526e661d10ae631520\">Fantastic Four: Invisible Woman pushed Galactus through a portal, and I guess Reed is brilliant, but in terms of sheer power, probably not (though in the comics they defeat Doom as a team a lot, of course).<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e43e341aa34afdd0bde831132a2b70e55\">Namor\/Thor \u2013 Gods, in effect, but we see Thor\u2019s Stormbreaker stopped by Doom with ease.<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ead2173526ad47b07deec496de0bccae7\">X-Men \u2013 Maybe as a team, but it\u2019s hard to see anyone short of Professor X or Magneto really making a dent in Doom. No Jean Grey\/Phoenix to help out.<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"efd5beaf58daf9a692ce7a0fab0bc53ef\">M\u2019Baku, Shuri \u2013 Strong and fast, but I don\u2019t think Doom cares about that.<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e11c448b2a675c02908bf6c51fc6e3e83\">Shang-Chi \u2013 Defeated the Dweller-in-Darkness, an ancient soul-stealing cosmic dragon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, if we\u2019re going with individual heroes, I know who I would pick. Maybe Sentry, provided he can control himself, though that seems unlikely. Given that this movie is missing heroes with enormous power, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi may actually be the best bet after all, which is certainly an interesting position for him to be in. After all this neglect, he probably deserves it.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, will be a huge team effort, but if we\u2019re doing what we did with Infinity War and Endgame, it seems like the team will probably lose before finding redemption in Secret Wars. We\u2019ll find out in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow me <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" aria-label=\"on Twitter\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\">on Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" aria-label=\"YouTube\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\">YouTube<\/strong><\/a><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" aria-label=\",\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\">,<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" aria-label=\"Instagram\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" aria-label=\"Herokiller series\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\">Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" aria-label=\"The Earthborn Trilogy\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\">The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victor von Doom\/Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) in Marvel&#8217;s AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.
