7. Thena

Probably the biggest name in the star-studded cast is Angelina Jolie, who makes her MCU debut as Thena, the strong warrior goddess-like Eternal who is just as fierce as she looks.

You’ll find that many of the Eternals’ reputations proceed them. And the Greek Goddess of War Athena? Well, that’s supposedly who Thena really is. History just changed some names and facts as time went on.

Thena’s strength is that she is a brave and noble fighter. She’s the strength of the team, and can forge weapons out of thin air. No warrior could ever weaken Thena, but make no mistake, there are other forces that can slow her down.

8. Gilgamesh

Some people are nimble fighters like Thena. But others are all brawn. That describes Gilgamesh played by Don Lee. Gilgamesh is so strong he would probably have no problem holding off the Incredible Hulk himself, or possibly even Thanos.

Gilgamesh is able to concentrate his energy into his hands. And once he’s all powered up, it’s clobberin’ time! Yes, that’s technically the Thing’s catchphrase. But Gilgamesh can bear that slogan ably while we await the arrival of the Fantastic Four in the MCU.
