Why is Captain Marvel still considered a OP character, even though she loses almost every fight?

Carol vs. Thanos = Carol looses

Carol vs. Dar-Benn = Carol looses

Carol vs. Thor = Carol looses

Carol vs. Ultron = Carol looses

Carol vs. Zombies = Carol looses

She's strong enough to destroy enemy ships, but she's not very good in other battles.

Having realized that, I absolutely don't understand those people who still think she's boring because she is overpowerful and Marvel needs to weaken her. It just doesn't make sense to me.

What do you think?

looses

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-14 17:52

because she's can be a bit too over confident and arrogant when it comes to OP level characters

CuteLingonberry97042025-10-14 17:59

It also n doesn't mean she's not also OP. Its boring if your OP character never loses. It's what makes writing Superman such a challenge.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-14 18:04

true, its hard to write a character who is OP and God like, that's why i love Thor in the comics and movies, because, he's a character of heart and pure soul of a human, who they don't make him overly powerful all the time.

CuteLingonberry97042025-10-14 18:07

Carol is a semi-alchoholic whose never sure she's doing the right thing. Powerful but nowhere near perfect.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-14 18:11

true, she's flawed and that's why she's amazing as a character. messy and lovable

CuteLingonberry97042025-10-14 18:19

I think its why a lot of people love Gunn's Superman. Just a guy trying to do what's right with his immense power. As he explains to Lex, his being human is his greatest strength, not his alien power.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-14 18:48

damn right, i thought the movie was fine and i'm not a dc fan, but i love that speech

Chiefmeez2025-10-14 17:52

You spelled “loses” wrong so many times lol

iamthehurr1cane2025-10-14 17:57

OP definitely looses spelling bees

HonoraryGoat2025-10-14 17:54

She is portrayed as cocky and over-confident due to her powers, but those traits make her a pretty shit warrior.

JoshTHX2025-10-14 17:54

Captain Marvel, Sentry, Ikaris. They have to nerf their most powerful otherwise they can just show up and do whatever the fuck they want.

Bosa_McKittle2025-10-14 18:00

Yup, its the same thing with nerfing Superman.

binger52025-10-14 18:08

Working as hard as a male at superhero is her kryptonite.

3v1lkr0w2025-10-14 18:08

Just like with speedsters. In one storyline, The Flash (I know, I know, DC in a Marvel sub...shame on me) saved 500,000 people and transported them 35 miles away from nuclear explosion in less than a second.
If they didn't nerf some of these heroes, comics and movies wouldn't be as much fun.

GodOfArk2025-10-14 17:55

Vs Thanos. He had to manually punch with power stone, enough energy to kill most Marvel Characters.

Vs Thor. But did she really loose.

Vs Ultron. He was shredding planets, even standing up to her was a feat

Vs Zombies. Only one slash is enough for zombies to affect. And she manages to survive just as well

Zomuck312025-10-14 18:23

If the power stone is capable of killing her, then this already means that she is not omnipotent, as many people think.

After Thor put Mjolnir on her, he could do anything to her. Her powers are not enough to withstand the power of Mjolnir.

In any case, she lasted much less against the zombies than a large number of characters who are weaker than her and have less experience with serious threats.

GodOfArk2025-10-14 18:29

Omnipotent..... Dude who said she is omnipotent. That's a word reserved for people like One Above All

Acceptable_Moose18812025-10-14 17:55

She has Thanos beat in a test of strength until he pulls out the power stone, which makes her pretty strong. Also, you seriously have to learn how to spell 'loses' before you start talking shit lol.

jackson501112025-10-14 17:55

The fact she can still go toe to toe with these characters (two of which had full infinity stones) speaks volume. The fact she basically put up a fight rather than just get wiped out instantly is why you can consider her powerful.

Zomuck312025-10-14 18:10

Wanda in Marvel Zombies was able to absorb the energy of all the Infinity Stones from the Hulk without even learning the Darkhold. Why doesn't anyone have a problem with that?

Extra_Age25052025-10-14 18:24

If that’s what Wanda did, then that’s as much of a problem. But a lot of people were critical of Wanda’s power-up in WandaVision and especially Multiverse of Madness anyway. Her being able to rewrite reality within a dome that she can generate at will, disintegrate people from far away, disappear people’s mouths, turn people into spaghetti etc means that she can never really lose any future fight. Plus, she reformed her own broken bones after climbing out of the gong and tanked a punch from America that sent a shockwave across Mount Wundagore and a blast from one of the magic cannons at Kamar Taj so she’s incredibly resilient to damage too. On a power level, Wanda is incredibly OP too

CuteLingonberry97042025-10-14 17:57

She didn't lose to Dar Benn. She didn't really lose to Thor either. In the WI episode she says she wasn't really going all out. Without Mjolnir Thor likely gets dogwalked in that fight.

Infinity Ultron was basically a god, so losing to him was expected.

Thanos didn't OP her, he outsmarted her. In terms of sheer power she clearly had the edge in that fight.

Superman loses fights all the time. Doesn't mean he's not OP. Its just from a narrative perspective its challenging to write OP characters, and its really boring, really fast, if they always win.

TestingBrokenGadgets2025-10-14 17:59

Whether characters are OP or not changes based on the writers. It's like someone saying "Superman's not OP, he lost a talking soda can one time".

Wolverine can both survive a nuclear blast and regenerate everything in two minutes or he can get blasted by Cyclop's beam and take a day to heal. That's the way comics work; there's no singular true power level that all writers stick to. A writer can decide "I want Superman to struggle to keep a plane from crashing to show he's careful" and then a few issues later, having him able to move an entire planet to show he thinks outside the box. That doesn't mean that he's strong enough to move a planet but not lift a plane, it means writers write scenes for a narrative purpose.

Carol only lost against infinity ultron that took a supreme strange and a 5th dimensional being to contain.

Also nope carol never lost against anyone else

Carol vs thanos - thanos fled.

Carol vs Dar-Benn - Dar-Benn fled.

She never loses, her enemies just have mastered the art of running away.

She’s lost not due to one on one ability. No one has been more powerful than her without insane enhancements or weapons.

Thanos needed an INFINITY STONE to momentarily stop her. She would’ve walked him without it.

Dar-Benn’s bangle specifically absorbs Danvers’ powers.

Thor only stopped her by using his hammer. Which just pinned her. Thor is also probably the most powerful being when maxed.

Ultron needed ALL SIX stones and blew up the planet and (maybe himself?) along with it.

Zombies is a silly one imo because anything can happen and one slip up means she’s infected. She still wasn’t defeated and was like the second biggest threat.

She restarted a dying star, would’ve wiped ALL of Thanos’ army from the (including Thanos), was out saving the universe from multiple universal threats too big for the avengers to deal with for decades, and still hasn’t been close to being put down (save for infinity Ultron using all the stones).

I think it’s safe to call her OP.
