Spoiler alert! This article contains spoilers for What if…? season 3, episode 7.

The most powerful beings in Marvel history. However, a multiversal twist has redefined power hierarchies, as the MCU unveils a new team that doesn’t just rival the Avengers - it sures them entirely.

What if…? season 3, episode 7, “What If... the Watcher Disappeared?” picks up after the cataclysmic events of episode 6, where the Watcher faces severe consequences for breaking his oath of non-interference. The other Watchers punish him, leading to fragments of their grand observatory spilling into the multiverse. Meanwhile, Captain Peggy Carter assembles a formidable team to address the growing multiversal chaos. Realizing the Watcher’s plight, they vow to aid him, setting the stage for a power-packed finale.

The MCU Unveils Its Most Powerful Team Of All

This new iteration of the Guardians of the Multiverse is a veritable pantheon. Captain Carter, a super-soldier and natural leader, brings tactical brilliance and sheer strength. Kahhori, who harnesses the energy of the Tesseract, acts as a living conduit of cosmic power. Byrdie, now an adult and the multiverse’s Chosen One, wields unparalleled potential, capable of rewriting entire realities.

Storm, who was once worshiped as a god in Africa, is empowered further by Mjolnir, combining her weather-manipulating abilities with the might of Asgard - doubling her god-like credentials. The Watcher himself, now active in the fight, displays near-omniscience and vast energy reserves of his kind. Briefly ing them is Infinity Ultron, whose brief alliance adds a layer of unpredictability and unmatched firepower to their battles.

Storm was voiced by Alison Sealy-Smith, who voiced Storm in X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97.

Together, they represent a power ceiling the MCU has never seen before. From Kahhori’s raw cosmic energy to Byrdie’s destiny-imbued powers, each member’s abilities amplify the team’s collective potential. It’s a team that not only defends worlds but shapes them in their wake.

The New Guardians Of The Multiverse Are Now Basically Gods

Storm channels the All-Fathers in What If season 3

By the end of What if…? episode 9, the Guardians’ power levels are stunning. In a climactic battle, the team overcomes multiversal threats, building to a tantalizing cliffhanger ending. Storm’s mastery of weather, supercharged by Asgardian might, demonstrates raw elemental fury on a cosmic scale. Captain Carter’s leadership and resilience anchor the team, while the Watcher’s strategic foresight proves pivotal.

What’s most striking is their collective triumph over the Watchers, who had subdued Infinity Ultron himself. This victory cements the new Guardians of the Multiverse as god-like beings, with power levels so astronomical that traditional rankings become meaningless. They don’t just protect the multiverse; they define its very existence, leaving audiences to wonder if any force in the MCU can challenge them now, as What if…? season 3 reaches its thrilling climax.
