The Destroyer

Okay, granted, this isn’t really a character as such, but the Destroyer armour is something that is capable of taking on a life of its own when imbued with the life-force of another living being and, therefore, it’s included on this list (it can actually also function independently for short periods of time).

The reason its depiction in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was so poor is simple – it was weak as hell. Thor defeated it within moments of regaining his powers (after initially having been easily defeated by it in his mortal form) – and that’s something he would have much more trouble doing in the comic books.

It’s nigh-indestructible in the comics and would never have been defeated by a mere tornado. It is more durable than adamantium, has been imbued with a portion of the power of all of the Skyfathers and its energy blasts have cracked whole planets and have proven capable to reduce any known substance to dust – a far cry from the blasts that barely destroyed cars in the MCU.

The armour also possesses more complex powers like transmutation, whereas the MCU version was very crude. It really should have been a lot more powerful and capable of defeating Thor with relative ease – or, at the very least, Thor should have had to do more than just create a tornado to defeat it.
