Knull, the god of the symbiotes, has wreaked havoc across the Marvel Universe, bringing darkness and destruction wherever he goes. Additionally, with his inclusion confirmed in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ fans have a lot of questions.
He is a cosmic being with unimaginable power and has complete control over symbiotes. However, there are a few Marvel superheroes capable of standing up to this terrifying foe. Here’s who we think they are.
10. Nova
As a wielder of the Nova Force, Nova has immense cosmic energy at his disposal making him a match to Knull. His cosmic strength enables him to generate and manipulate powerful forces.

His strength, flight, and durability allow him to fight some of the most dangerous enemies in the galaxy. However, Knull’s ancient power and control over symbiotes would likely overwhelm Nova in a prolonged battle. While Nova could give Knull a serious challenge, his lack of Magical abilities might come in the way.
9. Kang the Conqueror
Kang the Conqueror has one of the most brilliant tactical minds in the Marvel Universe. In addition, his time-traveling abilities make him a unique threat. He can summon advanced technology and weapons from across time and space, which could prove useful in a fight against Knull. Moreover, he is a being with cold logic and strength.
However, Kang’s main strength lies in strategy rather than brute force or magical abilities. To defeat Knull, Kang would need to outmaneuver him rather than overpower him. He would need to rely on his knowledge of the multiverse and time manipulation to exploit Knull’s weaknesses.
8. Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel has faced countless cosmic threats and emerged victorious thanks to her ability to absorb and manipulate energy. We all can agree that her going through Thanos’ ship in ‘Avengers: Endgame’ without breaking a sweat was not a joke.

Moreover, her strength, flight, and durability are formidable, but it’s her energy absorption that could help her in a battle with Knull. However, Knull’s dark cosmic power and control over symbiotes would pose a serious challenge for Carol Danvers.
7. Thanos (With Infinity Gauntlet)
With the Infinity Gauntlet in hand, Thanos is virtually unstoppable. The Gauntlet gives him control over time, space, reality, and more. His powers and ability were made clear after he wiped out half the world with a single snap in ‘Avengers: Endgame.’
So, all this would make him a serious threat to Knull. Thanos could have potentially used the Gauntlet to erase Knull from existence or manipulate reality to weaken him. However, without the Gauntlet, Thanos would likely struggle against Knull.
6. Doctor Strange
Doctor SStrange’s mastery over the mystic arts gives him a considerable advantage against Knull. Moreover, as the Sorcerer Supreme, Strange has fought against cosmic and mystical entities. He has the ability to use all kinds of spells and artifacts like the Eye of Agamotto and more of Cyttorak to imprison or banish dark forces.

His abilities even in the films are no joke and in almost every world-saving battle he has a major role. Even in the ongoing Multiverse Saga Strange is holding it all together. So, his ability to manipulate magic could counter Knull’s symbiotic influence. In addition, his vast knowledge of otherworldly dimensions could give him an edge in combat.
5. Sentry
Marvel’s own Superman, Sentry, who possesses the “power of a million exploding suns,” is one of the most powerful beings. His strength, flight, invulnerability, and ability to manipulate reality make him a formidable opponent for anyone, including Knull.
Moreover, Sentry’s dark alter ego, The Void, could be a perfect counter to Knull’s symbiotic darkness. However, Sentry’s mental instability could also be his downfall. If Knull were able to exploit Sentry’s fractured mind, the battle could quickly turn in Knull’s favor. But at full power, he might have a chance.
4. Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch’s chaos magic allows her to warp reality itself. This makes her one of the most dangerous magic users in the Marvel Universe. Wanda also has the ability to disrupt both magic and cosmic energy.

This puts her shoulder-to-shoulder with the god of symbiotes. Moreover, her reality-altering abilities could potentially unravel Knull’s symbiotic control and weaken his influence. However, Wanda’s control over her powers can sometimes be unstable, just like Sentry. If she taps into her full potential, Scarlet Witch could definitely bring Knull to his knees.
3. Silver Surfer
When imbued with the Power Cosmic, Silver Surfer is one of the most powerful cosmic beings in the Marvel Universe. As a former herald of Galactus, he has fought gods and cosmic entities, making him uniquely suited to face Knull.
In the comics, Silver Surfer has already faced Knull and held his own. His ability to manipulate cosmic energy would allow him to counter Knull’s dark power. In addition, his speed and agility in space would give him an edge in mobility. It’s safe to say that he is one of the top contenders when it comes to beating Knull.
2. Franklin Richards
A mutant with near-godlike abilities, Franklin Richards is able to warp reality on a universal scale. Franklin can create entire universes, manipulate matter and energy, and bend the very laws of physics to his will.

Against Knull, Franklin’s reality-warping powers would likely overwhelm the symbiote god. His strength and ability to alter existence itself make him one of the few characters who could potentially erase Knull and end it all at once.
1. Thor
The God of Thunder, Thor, has already fought Knull in the comics and proven himself to be one of the few beings capable of standing toe-to-toe with him. Moreover, with Mjolnir, cosmic strength, magical abilities, and godly durability, he’s Knull’s greatest challenger.

His lightning has been shown to harm Knull directly, and as the Asgardian king, his power has only increased. Thor’s experience battling ancient cosmic entities gives him the advantage in this fight. If anyone could defeat Knull in a straight-up brawl, it’s Thor.
