While it is widely believed that no power or force in the cosmos can rival or surpass the Infinity Gauntlet, some do and they include various characters throughout the Marvel Universe. One reason why there may be beings in the Marvel universe who can upstage the Infinity Stones is that they have existed longer than all of them combined. That being said, these are the 5 Marvel characters who are more powerful than the Infinity Stones –

It’s important to remember that Thanos defeated multiple Elders of the Universe whilst wielding the Infinity Gauntlet. The In-Betweener, Champion, Gardener, Collector, Runner, and Grandmaster were all beaten by him. It’s worth noting that Thanos is more powerful than any Infinity Stone. Thus, he can easily overcome those who either possess them or try using their abilities against him.

The Avengers

The Avengers have a long history of protecting the world from threats with massive destructive capabilities. They’ve taken on Neititi and Proxima Midnight when they had the gauntlet and ended up fighting Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, and Cull Obsidian when those villains had the gauntlet. The Avengers have traditionally been at a disadvantage when confronted with powered-up enemies after they’ve assembled all six infinity stones in one location. But no matter how dire the situation may seem; they always manage to find a way to turn things around.
