Marvel is like a treasure trove of stories, where heroes and villains leap out from the pages, capturing our imaginations. From bustling cities to distant galaxies, Marvel's tales keep fans on their toes, eagerly waiting for the next adventure.

When it comes to superheroes, some have an edge: they never die! While many heroes face danger head-on, risking it all, some have the ultimate superpower - immortality. This means that no matter how tough the battle gets, they'll always be around to fight another day.

Let's delve deep into the tales of these ten immortal Marvel superheroes, ranked by their formidable strength.


The Thing, Jean Grey, and eight other powerful immortal superheroes in the Marvel Universe, ranked by strength

10) Madame Webb (Cassandra Webb)

Cassandra Webb, more commonly known as Madame Webb, exemplifies diverse immortality forms in the Marvel Universe. Born with paralysis and blindness, her mutant gifts grant her foresight, telepathy, and clairvoyance.

Despite being anchored to a life-sustaining cybernetic chair, her technological enhancements lend her an immortal life. Still, she has brushed with death, making her journey intriguing.


9) Hope Summers

The name of Hope Summers echoes when discussing Marvel's mightiest characters. As Cable's adopted daughter and a powerful Omega-level mutant, her destiny swings between savior and destroyer.

Her pivotal role came to the fore during the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline when she attracted the Phoenix Force's attention. Harnessing its immense power, she emerged as a figure of both resurgence and immortality, her destiny forever interwoven with the Phoenix Force.


8) Franklin Richards (Earth-12665)

Franklin Richards is another proof that power and its manifestations differ across universes. Known for his mind-bending reality-altering abilities in the primary universe, in Earth-12665, he's reached the pinnacle of power. After defeating two Celestials, this Fantastic Four descendant stamped his immortality and made the formidable Galactus his servant.


7) Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner)

Kurt Wagner's journey from a circus performer to a stalwart X-Men member is nothing short of inspiring. His demon-esque appearance, due to his lineage from Mystique and the enigmatic Azazel, marked him as different.

Yet, it's his teleportation ability that sets him apart. After a resurrection that made him quasi-immortal, Kurt's life took a bittersweet turn. While blessed with an unending life, he's cursed to feel every iota of pain his body undergoes.


6) The Thing (Ben Grimm)

Ben Grimm's transformation into The Thing, an imposing rock-skinned colossus, is one of Marvel's most iconic tales. This transformation, a result of a radiation experiment gone awry, imprisoned him in a rocky exterior, with a brief annual window to revert to his human form.

Yet, this rocky facade gifts him unparalleled strength and unique form of immortality. Every time he reverts to his human form, he ages but a single day, ensuring The Thing's presence far into the future.


5) Jean Grey

Jean Grey's saga is interwoven with power, sacrifice, and resilience. Recognized as an unmatched telepath and a linchpin in the X-Men's lineup, her legacy is cemented by her bond with the Phoenix Force.

This cosmic entity magnifies her already formidable abilities and confers the boon of immortality upon her. No matter the wounds or trials she faces, the Phoenix ensures Jean's return, making her an eternal beacon in the Marvel Universe.


4) The Sentry (Robert Reynolds)

Robert Reynolds' transformation into The Sentry is a tale of rediscovery. When he recollected his superhero identity, he found himself pitted against the Void, his arch-nemesis. In a twist of fate, he realized the Void was none other than a facet of himself.

This duality stems from a unique version of the super-soldier formula he ingested. Not only did this concoction grant him immense power, but it also marked the beginning of his immortal journey.


3) Thor

Thor embodies the perfect fusion of magic and might as the God of Thunder. Hailing from the advanced civilization of Asgard, his prolonged life is sustained by the magical Apples of Idunn.

Consumed by the Asgardians, these apples grant them lifespans that seem eternal. Numerous tales depict Thor thriving millennia into the future, a testament to his God-like longevity, ensuring that his thunderous roars echo through time.


2) Wolverine (James Howlett)

With his iconic claws and fierce demeanor, Wolverine stands as a symbol of endurance in Marvel's vast lore. Born in the 1800s, this mutant's regenerative abilities defy nature, extending his life unparalleled.

This gift-cum-curse ensures his presence well into Marvel's futuristic tales. While he's not invulnerable to life-threatening wounds, his body's incredible recuperative powers always find a way to mend, making him an immortal force of nature.


1) Bruce Banner (The Incredible Hulk)

Bruce Banner's inner tumult, personified as the Hulk, is one of Marvel's most profound narratives. Shifting between protector and destroyer, the Hulk's origins lie in a blend of the super-soldier serum and gamma radiation.

This concoction magnified Banner's strength and kickstarted his unending journey through time. Across myriad timelines, the Hulk emerges either as Earth's final guardian or as a universal challenge, and his legacy is immortalized through his immense strength and endurance.


From technologically augmented seers to gods of thunder, the Marvel Universe's immortal roster showcases heroes who continually defy the odds. Like the heroes, their tales of strength, sacrifice, and resilience are timeless.

These are the legends whose tales will be recounted for ages, encapsulating the core of what it signifies to be a superhero.
