The other Watchers punish him, causing fragments of his great observatory to scatter across the multiverse. Meanwhile, Captain Peggy Carter assembles a formidable team to face the growing multiversal chaos. Realizing the Watcher's plight, they promise to help him, setting the stage for a power-packed finale.
The MCU Reveals Its Most Powerful Team Ever
This new iteration of the Guardians of the Multiverse is a true 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 channel of cosmic power. Byrdie, now an adult and the Chosen One of the multiverse, has unparalleled potential, capable of rewriting entire realities.
Storm, who was once worshiped as a god in Africa, is further empowered by Mjolnir, combining her weather-manipulating abilities with the power of Asgard – doubling her godly credentials. The Observer himself, now active in the fight, displays near omniscience and vast energy reserves of its kind. Joining them briefly is Infinity Ultron, whose brief alliance adds a layer of unpredictability and unparalleled firepower to their battles.
Together, they represent a limit of power that the MCU has never seen before. From Kahhori's raw cosmic energy to our site's destiny-imbued powers, each member's ability skills amplify the collective potential of the team. It's a team that not only defends worlds, but also shapes them as they go.
The new guardians of the multiverse are now basically gods
At the end of And if…? episode 9, the Guardians' power levels are impressive. In a climactic battle, the team overcomes multiversal threats, building to a tantalizing and exciting ending. The Storm's dominance over the weather, overwhelmed by Asgardian power, demonstrates raw elemental fury on a cosmic scale. Captain Carter's leadership and resilience anchor the team, while the Watcher's strategic vision proves fundamental.
What's most impressive is their collective triumph over the Watchers, who subdued Infinity Ultron himself. This victory consolidates the new Guardians of the Multiverse as divine beings, with power levels so astronomical that Traditional classifications become meaningless. They don't just protect the multiverse; they define their own existence, leaving audiences wondering if any forces in the MCU can challenge them now, like And if…? Season 3 reaches its thrilling climax.
