I had a passing thought about Captain Marvel: If, as Kevin Feige says, she's the most powerful person in the Marvel Universe, how is that so? Her power derives from one infinity stone (which was in the Tesseract), while Thanos' power comes from all six infinity stones. So, of course, she's a tremendous asset against him, but more powerful?
Marvel released their "power scores" last week, and, honestly, they sort of fudged the math. In my opinion they downplayed Thor's ability to absorb the energy of a sun (rating Thor an A level, where S level is highest). I think they also simply miscalculated Thor's score. In addition, they absolutely messed up by giving Black Widow a a 3/10 for combat training (while Hawkeye scored a 9--I would even go so far as argue that Black Widow potentially has more combat training and overall combat knowledge than Captain America), and glossed over Doctor Strange's virtually unlimited energy score.
Here's the official link.
That said, Captain Marvel is certainly crazy powerful (and a legit S-tier hero), and a group with Doctor Strange, Thor, and the Hulk, are extremely formidable.
