Summary
TheX - Menand theAvengersare two of the most prominent superhero teams in Marvel Comics , and in some case , members of these various groups cross over into the other . While it ’s rare to see a non - mutant superhero joining the X - Men in an prescribed capability ( though the late induction of the Juggernaut proves it is n’t impossible ) there are many instances in which an 10 - Men fellow member will join the Avengers .
The Avengers is just a squad of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes , meaning there is no determined roster like , for instance , the Fantastic Four . To be a member , one simply has to possess some variety of super - human enhancement ( whether that be technical , biologic , or supernatural ) , and they must have a desire to protect the world - and sometimes the universe - against threat none of them could handle on their own . Therefore , it ’s a give that a phone number of X - Men would be recruited on the Avengers , as they ’ve been prepare since childhood by Charles Xavier how to use their big businessman for the goodness of humanity . That being tell , notall X - Men / Avengers membersare measured the same , as some are undeniably unassailable than others . Here are the 10 most powerful X - Men torpedo recruit to join the Avengers , order .
10Wolverine
Wolverine joined the Avengers inNew Avengers#6 by Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch , and while many fans might think of Wolverine as one of the most overpowered sport in Marvel Comics , that ’s not necessarily true . Wolverine might have a healing factor and near indestructible alloy claws , but in footing of sheer major power , he ’s nowhere tight to the level exhibited by the other ingress on this tilt . In fact , Wolverine is classified as a beta - level mutant by the current X - Men classifications of mutant office - scaling . sure as shooting , he ’s fantastic for the more covert military mission carried out by the Avengers ( withSecret Warbeing a prime case ) , but his potency against cosmic threat is minimum on a squad filled with heroes on - par with the likes of Captain Marvel and Thor .
9Beast
Wolverine might be a more furious presence on the battlefield than Beast , but it ’s fair to say that Beast bring a similar storey of ferocity during a fight , with the sum benefit of having genius - degree reason , make his overall contribution to the Avengers that much more utile . In fact , inWolverine#31 by Benjamin Percy and Leinil Francis Yu , Beast creates multiple clone of Wolverine , which only proves how much more Beast has to propose the Avengers than Wolverine does . Though despite the lineal compare between Wolverine and Beast justifying their respective placements on this list , Beast was a slap-up addition to the Avengers since his inclusion on the team inAvengers#151 in his own right , though he ’s far from the most brawny .
8Cannonball
Cannonball was a member of the New Mutants before joining the more hardcore X - Men attached team X - Force , and would n’t join the Avengers untilAvengersVol . 5 # 2 by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña . Cannonball is much more explosive than the previous two entries on this list , and his power level is more in - line with the cosmic - level threats the Avengers are on a regular basis dealing with . In fact , inUncanny X - Men#341 , Cannonball beat Gladiator in a one - on - one battle that pushed his powers to their right-down terminus ad quem . As seen in the definitive Phoenix Saga , Gladiator and the Shi’ar warrior he commands outclass the X - Men immensely ( including and peculiarly the likes of Beast and Wolverine ) , earn Cannonball the first literal contender on this listing in terms of sheer power .
7Sunspot
Sunspot link up the Avengers the same time Cannonball did inAvengersVol . 5 # 2 , and his background with the X - humankind ( and their connected teams ) is intimately identical to Cannonball ’s as well . The difference , however , is their superpower level . Sunspot has the ability to take in solar radiation and transfer that vigor within his own body , turn it into strength . For instance , Sunspot once got strong enough to one - gibe the Hulk while emit vast amount of money of raw energy he was previously able to absorb . Not only that , but he can gain sustenance from solar radiation , permit him to subsist without the need for solid food , water , or even oxygen , making him not just unbelievably potent in battle , but also a great asset for the Avengers on any given mission in blank .
6Havok
Like Sunspot , Havok was able to beat the Hulk in a battle , doing so with a single attack of his concussive zip ( as shown inIncredible Hulk#150 ) . So , when Havok finally join the Avengers inUncanny Avengers#1 by Rick Remender and John Cassaday , the antecedently established rank of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes knew they were getting a proven grievous - batter on their squad . Not only that , but Havok was chosen to be the leader of the raw squad of Avengers in that very issue , as Captain America hop he could assist bridge over the watershed between the Avengers and the disco biscuit - manpower be their dispute . Havok is arguably strong than perhaps the strongest member of the original Avengers while also proving to be an integral part of the team ’s future .
5Rogue
Rogue can go toe - to - toe with anyone due to her mutation . Not only did Rogue take down Captain Marvel with a simple touch , but she then used Carol Danvers ’ powers to break into the Avengers compound and bring the squad to their knees much solo . This happened inAvengers Annual#10 , and was Rogue ’s breakout role as one of the more formidable prosy villains in Marvel Comics at that time . Before long , however , Rogue would use her immense and virtually unlimited power for commodity with the 10 - humanity . Then , inUncanny Avengers#4 by Rick Remender and John Cassaday , Rogue joined the very squad Havok had been choose to result , making her an official Avenger - and one of the team ’s strongest recruits to date .
4Dazzler
Dazzler might be one of the most underrated mirthful book heroes of all time , given how understated her powers were upon her introduction . Dazzler can turn well-grounded waves into short waves , and can manipulate those light wave across its intact spectrum . When she was first introduce , she was a pop music whizz who turned the strait of her own voice into a salient easy show . However , she could have also flex that speech sound into immensely hefty photon blasts , efficaciously putting her on - par with the the like of Captain Marvel . This made Dazzler utter to join the rank of the all - female Avengers squad known as A - Force ( as shown inA - Force#2 by Kelly Thompson , G. Willow Wilson , and Jorge Molina ) . What make Dazzler a standout on this inclination above other entries with like powers is her designation as an alpha - level mutation , along with the fact that the software of her powers are limitless . Indeed , she once absorbed the sound of Black Bolt ’s voice , and even took down the Hulk with relative simpleness .
3Sunfire
Another alpha - level mutation , Sunfire has the major power to assimilate solar radiation and can generate superheated plasma in ways that makes the level of power he can unleash akin to that of an exploding star . For example , when the Annihilation Wave take back inX - Men#2 by Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz , Sunfire pass over it out in its entirety all by himself . That ’s a grade of power that almost no one in the Marvel Universe can match , save for genuine cosmic gods . This exhibition of crude mogul alone made Sunfire the pure Avengers military recruit when he join the team inUncanny Avengers#5 by Rick Remender and Olivier Coipel .
2Storm
The first omega - level mutation on this list , Storm ’s intimately unparalleled power verbalize for itself . With her mutant ability to control the atmospheric condition , Storm can in effect alter the lives of every living organism on a planetary ordered series . Storm had been using these abilities to battle progressively mortal foes while on the Adam - Men , but finally used them as an official member of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes inAvengersVol . 4 # 19 by Brian Michael Bendis and Daniel Acuna , only finally leaving the squad to link with her fellow mutants during the Avengers vs 10 - Men case - something which made Iron Man admit that violent storm was the good Avenger the team ever lose .
1Quentin Quire
While perhaps not the most well - get laid X - Man - turned - Avenger on this list , Quentin Quire aka Kid Omega is easily the most powerful . Not only is Quentin an omega - level sport like violent storm , but his omega status stems from his unmatchable power as a telepath . Plus , Quentin is an incredibly skilled telekinetic , and has been described as a ‘ Psionic of the Highest parliamentary procedure ’ . Quire ’s psionic power effectively make him a fireball akin to Green Lantern ( but without the need of a ring ) , which was proven on-key when he created a rocket launcher from pure psionic free energy . While that ’s telling , it ’s only the wind of the iceberg of what Quentin is capable of , as his magnate can arguably rewrite the reality of those he uses them against without Quire break a sweat - that ’s how strong his Z - level telepathy is . Therefore , when he join the West Coast Avengers inWest Coast AvengersVol . 3 # 1 by Kelly Thompson and Stefano Caselli , the Avengers officially gained the strongest mutant military recruit they ’ve ever inducted .
While some of these mutant - heroes are stronger than others in terms of raw , unadulterated power best suited to handleAvengers - level threat on a cosmic scale , each one of these 10X - Mendefinitively proved themselves to be desirable to get together the ranks of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes .
