Every MCU Superhero’s Child Right Now Ranked Weakest to Strongest

The MCU has been quietly assembling its next generation of heroes, and honestly? These kids might just be more powerful than their parents. From reality-bending mutants to cosmic-powered beings, the superhero children scattered across the Marvel Cinematic Universe are setting up to be absolute powerhouses.

Some are already suiting up and throwing punches, while others are just discovering what they’re capable of. We’ve ranked every confirmed MCU superhero children from weakest to strongest, and trust us, you’re going to want to keep an eye on these future world-savers (or world-breakers).

10. Toussaint

Let’s be real, Toussaint is basically a baby right now, so he’s starting at the bottom of our list. But don’t sleep on this little prince! As T’Challa’s son, he’s got royal Wakandan blood running through his veins, which means he’s probably destined for some serious upgrades down the line.

We’re talking potential Heart-Shaped Herb enhancements, access to the most advanced technology on Earth, and let’s not forget, vibranium everything. While his powers haven’t manifested yet, his lineage alone puts him on the map. Plus, with Shuri as his aunt and the entire Dora Milaje as potential mentors, this kid’s training is going to be legendary. Give him a few years, and we suspect he’ll be climbing this list real fast.

9. Morgan Stark

Morgan Stark might not have superpowers, but she’s got something arguably just as dangerous: Tony Stark’s brain. We saw glimpses of her intelligence even as a young child, and if genetics has anything to say about it, she’s going to be building world-changing tech before she hits high school.

The deleted scene from Endgame showing an adult Morgan (portrayed by Katherine Langford) in the Soul Realm wasn’t just a tearjerker; it was a glimpse of the future.

There’s serious potential for her to don the Rescue suit (which we saw Pepper wear) or create something entirely new. Let’s face it, a Stark with prep time is basically unstoppable, and Morgan’s got that DNA. She might not punch through walls, but she could very well build the tech that saves the multiverse.

8. The Barton Children (Cooper, Lila, and Nathaniel)

Okay, we’re grouping the Barton kids together because, honestly, they’re all in the same boat right now: normal kids with an Avenger dad. Cooper, Lila, and Nathaniel don’t have any confirmed superpowers, but they’ve definitely inherited their father’s steady hands and sharp eyes. We’ve seen Clint training Lila with a bow and arrow, and she’s got some serious natural talent.

While Kate Bishop seems to have officially taken over the Hawkeye mantle, that doesn’t mean the Barton kids are out of the superhero game entirely. They’ve survived being snapped out of existence and witnessed their dad’s darkest period as Ronin. That kind of experience either breaks you or makes you incredibly resilient, and these kids seem to be made of pretty tough stuff.

7. Love

Here’s where things get cosmic, folks. Love was literally resurrected by Eternity. You know, one of the most powerful abstract entities in the Marvel universe. That alone should tell you this kid is special. She’s got cosmic-level abilities that we’ve barely scratched the surface of, and with Thor as her adoptive father, she’s getting trained by one of the most powerful Avengers.

The fact that she was brought back by a cosmic wish means her potential is probably off the charts. We haven’t seen much of what she can do yet, but given her origin story involves universal forces and god-killers, we’re betting her full power set is going to be absolutely insane. Plus, she’s growing up in New Asgard with access to both Earth and Asgardian knowledge, talk about the best of both worlds.

6. Cassie Lang / Stature

Cassie Lang finally got to live her dream of fighting alongside her dad in Quantumania, and she absolutely held her own against Kang the Conqueror’s forces. Her size-manipulation abilities give her incredible versatility. She can shrink down for stealth missions or go giant-size for heavy-hitting combat.

What puts her ahead of some others on this list is that she’s actually been in the field, tested her powers under pressure, and proven she can handle herself in a crisis.

Her dedication to mastering the Quantum Realm also shows she’s got the scientific mind to understand and improve her abilities. In the comics, she becomes Stature and joins the Young Avengers, which seems like a pretty safe bet for her MCU future. The girl’s got heart, skills, and shrinking powers: that’s a winning combination.

5. Tommy Maximoff / Speed

Tommy Maximoff’s got super-speed, which automatically makes him a major threat. We’ve seen what Quicksilver could do with similar abilities, and Tommy’s powers seem even more refined. Speed abilities are no joke. We’re talking about someone who could theoretically run through time, phase through objects, and move faster than most people can even perceive.

The fact that he’s Wanda’s son also means there might be some reality-warping potential bubbling under the surface. Even though the twins disappeared at the end of WandaVision, their appearance in Multiverse of Madness proves they exist somewhere in the multiverse. When Tommy finally returns to the main MCU timeline (and let’s be honest, it’s definitely a “when,” not an “if”), he’s going to be a speedster with potentially unlimited potential.

4. Billy Maximoff / Wiccan

Billy Maximoff edges out his twin brother for one simple reason: reality manipulation is just more versatile than super-speed. This kid has similar powers to his mom, and we all saw what the Scarlet Witch could accomplish. Billy’s already shown he can manipulate reality on a significant scale, and he’s just getting started.

In the comics, Wiccan is one of the most powerful Young Avengers, capable of altering the fundamental forces of reality itself. His magic is incredibly potent, and unlike Wanda, he might actually have better control over his abilities from the start.

The potential for Billy to reshape reality, cast spells, and manipulate probability makes him incredibly dangerous (in the best possible way). When he inevitably returns, expect him to be a major player in whatever cosmic threats the MCU throws at us next.

3. X-23 / Laura Kinney

Laura Kinney is basically Wolverine 2.0, and that should terrify anyone who’s ever faced the original. She’s got all of Logan’s abilities (the healing factor, enhanced senses, and deadly adamantium claws), but she’s also been trained as a weapon from birth. Her combat experience is off the charts, and she’s proven she can take down adult opponents who’ve been fighting for decades.

What makes her even more dangerous is that she possesses Wolverine’s fighting instincts without all the emotional baggage that held him back. Dafne Keen absolutely killed it in both Logan and Deadpool & Wolverine, showing Laura as someone who’s both incredibly lethal and surprisingly grounded.

With the MCU integrating more mutants, Laura’s perfectly positioned to be a major player in whatever X-Men stories come next. She’s not just Wolverine’s daughter; she might be better than him.

2. Skaar

Skaar is essentially what happens when you combine the Hulk’s raw power with cosmic mystical abilities, and the result is absolutely terrifying. He’s got all of his dad’s strength, durability, and rage-fueled power-ups, but he also inherited the Old Power from his Sakaarian mother. This means he can manipulate earth, rock, and lava on a planetary scale. We’re talking about someone who could literally reshape continents if he wanted to.

His brief appearance in She-Hulk was just a taste of what’s coming, and honestly, he might end up being more powerful than Bruce Banner ever was. The combination of gamma radiation enhancements and mystical planetary forces makes Skaar a unique threat in the MCU. Plus, he’s got the combat experience of growing up in the brutal world of Sakaar, which means he’s not just powerful, he knows how to use that power effectively.

1. Franklin Richards

And here’s our winner: Franklin Richards, who might just be the most overpowered character in all of Marvel. This kid doesn’t just have reality-warping abilities; he can literally create universes. We’re not exaggerating! Franklin has the power to reshape existence itself on a multiversal scale.

The Celestials, beings who are basically gods, consider him to be on their level. That’s not just impressive; that’s universe-breakingly powerful. Franklin’s abilities are so vast that he’s destined to become the next Galactus, inheriting the role of Devourer of Worlds.

Even as a child, he’s created pocket universes by accident and resurrected cosmic entities like it’s no big deal. The fact that Galactus himself is interested in Franklin in The Fantastic Four: First Steps should tell you everything you need to know about this kid’s power level. He’s not just the strongest superhero child; he might be the strongest being in the entire MCU.

What’s Next for Marvel’s Junior Heroes

While we’re still waiting to meet some potential future additions like Valeria Richards (Franklin’s genius sister) and possibly Hiro-Kala (Skaar’s brother), the current roster is already incredibly impressive. The MCU is clearly setting up a Young Avengers storyline, and honestly, this team could probably handle most cosmic threats without adult supervision.

With projects like Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, and Ironheart building toward a next-generation team, these superhero kids represent more than just legacy characters; they’re the future of the MCU. As we head toward Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, don’t be surprised if these young heroes end up being the key to saving the multiverse. After all, when reality itself is breaking down, who better to fix it than someone who can literally rewrite the rules of existence?
