10 Most Powerful Canadian Marvel Heroes, Ranked

[[{“value”:”

Although the Marvel universe is set all over the world, its primarily location is definitely the United Stated of America. However, due to its proximity with the U.S., Canada also gets a big chunk of the action. Many amazing Marvel superheroes are Canadian and still fight to protect their homeland.

Most of these heroes are now based in the U.S., but they were born and raised in Canada — where some of them actually have a family. Of course, there are dozens of Canadian superpowered beings in the Marvel universe, but these individuals rank among the most powerful among them all thanks to their unique superpowers.

Marrina Smallwood Was Raised As Human

Marrina isn’t exactly Canadian. She’s actually a member of the alien Plodex. However, when she was still an egg, a Plodex ship crashed while trying to invade Earth. They abandoned their plans but forgot one egg. She was later found by a fisherman in Newfoundland, Canada. Tom Smallwood raised her as if she was his own blood alongside his wife, Gladys.

Of course, since she isn’t human Marrina soon developed those abilities akin to her race. As a genetically altered Plodex, Marrina is an amphibian with shape-changing abilities. She also possesses superhuman strength and speed, and she can secrete an oil that can temporarily blind her foes. If this wasn’t enough, she can transform into a powerful sea creature known as Leviathan. This power set offers a great combo of defensive skills as well as the possibility for Marrina to fight in any land.

Walter Langkowski Is An Uncommon Gamma Being

Like Bruce Banner, Walter Langkowski is a genius man who ended up becoming pure brawn. While researching gamma radiation at McGill University, he opened a Green Door to the Below-Place, but he didn’t turn into a Hulk due to his closeness with the Aurora Borealis. Instead, he only took a bestial, furry form, so he named himself Sasquatch. Like all gamma beings, Langkowski got superhuman strength, speed, and stamina, which allowed him to join the Canadian superteam, Alpha Flight.

More recently, Sasquatch and Doc Samson switched bodies after a death scare. Now the former is known as Walter Samson and the latter, Doc Sasquatch. Regardless of this change, Langkowski is still a powerful superhero with superhuman abilities like all gamma beings in the Marvel Universe.

Guardian Got A Scientific Enhancement

Born in Ontario, Canada, James Hudson created an exoskeleton for Am-Can Oil Corporation, but the government attempted to seize this invention and use it for military purposes. Following this incident, the Canadian government invited him to join the Ministry of Defence, and he had the idea to create Alpha Flight alongside his wife, Heather McNeil. Using his battle suit, he became Vindicator- although he later changed it to Guardian.

This exoskeleton granted Hudson a great power set including flight, super strength, and a force field to absorb damage. However, his true enhancement happened during the 90s, when he was sent into a rift and returned as a cyborg. Besides all his suit abilities, he gained a computer mind with a photographic memory and genius-level intellect, flight without needing a suit, and even the ability to create plasma to create vortices to trap his enemies.

Readers Tend To Underestimate Squirrel Girl

Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl, isn’t a mutant but a mutate human who got squirrel-like traits proportionally scaled to her size. This mutation grants her superhuman strength- especially in her jaw since she can chew steel- incredible climbing abilities thanks to her claws, night vision and enhanced peripheral vision, a knuckle spike, and a prehensile tail. She can also talk to squirrels, so she always has allies surrounding her.

Since squirrels are small, adorable creatures, it’s easy to underestimate Squirrel Girl’s abilities- especially because she’s far from scary. Instead, she’s a chirpy extrovert. However, not trusting her capabilities would be a mistake. Squirrel Girl is surprisingly powerful for a character that feels a lot like a joke. Once she defeated Thanos, M.O.D.O.K., and Terrax alongside her trusty sidekick, the squirrel Tippy Toe.

Northstar & Aurora Are Incredibly Powerful Together

When twins Jean and Jeanne-Marie Beaubier were only kids, their parents died in a car crash. The kids were sent into foster care, and then each of them got their own family. Although separated, the Beaubiers share the same mutation and soon enough, they found each other working together as members of Alpha Flight.

Northstar and Aurora are mutants with light-based abilities. Both siblings can generate light from their bodies that shines so bright it can be seen from afar. Besides, they can use this light and transform it into concussive blasts. Originally, they could only do this when in physical contact with each other, but Walter Samson helped them enhance their abilities, making them even stronger this time.

Deadpool’s Parents Are Still in Canada

Dealing with cancer as a young man, Wade joined a superhuman-enhancing trial to try and cure himself. This process turned him into Deadpool. It covered his skin of scars, but it also gave him a super powerful healing factor that even allows him to regenerate limbs and use his blood to heal others. This, combined with his superhuman strength, agility, and reflexes, makes him practically unstoppable.

Due to his complex mental health, Wade Wilson knows very little about his own past. He retconned his own story several times, implying that his father was abusive, his mother had abandoned him, and many other tragic tropes. None of this was true. Wade’s parents are still alive, living in Canada, and waiting for their son to recognize them again. Unfortunately, the Merc with a Mouth is long gone since he became Deadpool.

An Inua Spirit Gave Snowguard Super Abilities

After infiltrating the Master of the World’s facilities, Amka Aliyak discovered Sila, the Inua spirit, imprisoned there. She freed the spirit, but the defense drones in the building attacked her immediately, hurting her mortally. Sila saved her with her energy, granting Amka divine superpowers. After this, she became a superhero known as Snowguard.

Besides superhuman strength and durability, Sila granted her shapeshifting abilities, so she can transform fully into animals or even some of her limbs. For example, she can grow wings to fly. Besides, Snowguard can manipulate auroras into any shape she wants as well as perform magic. Hailing from Pangnirtung in Nunavut, Canada, Snowguard is a recent superhero, but she’s already among the strongest in Canada thanks to Sila’s blessing.

Garrison Kane Sacrificed His Body as Weapon X

Wolverine isn’t the only Weapon X in Marvel. Originally a member of Cable’s Six Pack, Garrison Kane was badly hurt during a fight against Stryfe, and he lost his arms and legs. Canada’s government took him in, giving him a new body through the Department K, so Garrison was transformed into a cyborg. Although this happened decades ago, Kane has been given a couple of upgrades through the years, so he only grows stronger as time passes.

As Weapon X, Kane has superhuman skills. He’s stronger, faster, and more resilient than any human. He can see in the dark and hear beyond normal decibels. Besides, he has super reflexes and a mind programmed to find weak points and exploit them to his advantage. The cherry on the cake is his metal arms. These limbs are made of a malleable liquid material so he can rearrange the molecules to transform them into any weapon he can think of, or even to copy a mutant’s power. This skill, combined with his ability to find weak spot,s makes Weapon X a formidable adversary.

Wolverine Is Marvel’s Most Famous Canadian

Wolverine is the most beloved Canadian superhero in Marvel and he also ranks among the most powerful. Born James Howlett, he was born in Alberta, Canada in the 19th Century. His mutation- a powerful healing factor as well as protruding bone claws on his knuckles- led him to escape his own home after he killed his father by mistake. He eventually took the name Logan to further distance himself from his past.

Thanks to his abilities, Logan fought in several wars throughout the 19th and 20th Century, he was a spy, assassin, soldier, outlaw, and even a samurai. He became even more powerful in modern times, when the Weapon X Program infused his bone with Adamantium, one of the strongest metals in the Marvel universe. Although this was an inhumane process, it definitely made him the killing machine he is now.

The Sentry Holds The Power Of Millions of Suns

In 1947, drug addict Robert “Bob” Reynolds burglarized Canada’s Department K, a covert branch of the Canadian government working on recreating the Super Soldier Serum. Looking for a fix, Bob took the Golden Sentry Serum and gained the power of a million exploding suns, effectively becoming Marvel’s own Superman: Sentry.

Sentry is among the most powerful Marvel heroes. He’s so powerful that he had to be erased from reality when the Void, his suppressed evil personality, made an appearance. He returned eventually, but the Void is still one of his scariest and most shameful moments. Regardless of this, he is still the most powerful Canadian superhero whenever he is capable of controlling his evil side.
