After what seems like an eternity, the most money on a Thursday night release of any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.

Having seen the movie and our favorite heroes pitted against the Children of Thanos and the Mad Titan himself, we can now compose a definitive list of whom the best fighters are among all the so-called Infinity Warriors. To that end, we have chosen thirty characters from Avengers: Infinity War to rate.

It should be noted that there will be SPOILERS AHEAD for those who have not seen Avengers: Infinity War.

It should also be noted that this list is based on a variety of factors, including combat training, strategic ability, raw power, any impressive feats the character accomplished, and their ability to utilize all their advantages in a fight.

We also limited this to characters who we see in at least one extended fight scene, which sadly disqualified M'Baku's small role since we don't really see him in action.

With that in mind, here is Every Infinity War Fighter Ranked, Weakest To Strongest.

30. Loki

Loki was adopted into the royal family of Asgard after the Allfather Odin defeated Loki's biological father, Laufey - King of The Frost Giants. A diminutive child by giant standards, Loki grew to study sorcery among the Asgardians and showed a natural talent for illusions. He also grew to resent the warrior class of Asgard, particularly his adoptive brother, Thor, who was more popular and better liked than the prank-playing Loki. This secured his place as the God of Mischief among the Asgardians, who had little appreciation for the strategy or trickery that Loki employed in battle.

There was little evidence of Loki's skill in subterfuge in Avengers: Infinity War. He was eliminated early on, while pretending to pledge his fealty to Thanos, suddenly pulling a dagger and attempting to stab The Mad Titan in the heart.

For some reason, the consummate trickster forgot that the key to stabbing someone in the back is to wait until their back is turned.

There's a reason why Loki is known as God of Treachery and not the God of Frontal Assaults and his performance here proved it. Still, to give credit where credit is due, Loki did finally show where his loyalties lay and proved himself worthy of the name Odinson with an attempt at stopping Thanos that was brave, if not particularly well-planned.

29. Shuri

Princess of Wakanda and younger sister of T'Challa, Shuri is more scientist than warrior. Possessing a mind that sures those of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, Shuri leads the Wakanadan Design Group and designed much of the technology that her brother utilizes as the Black Panther. This includes his sound-canceling boots and a nanotech Panther Habit which allows him to don his costume instantly no matter what else he is wearing.

She also was able to reprogram James "Bucky" Barnes' mind and remove the HYDRA brainwashing that turned him into the Winter Soldier without damaging the rest of his memory. She was also tasked with trying to remove the Mind Stone from The Vision without destroying him.

In the comics, Shuri eventually takes on the mantle of Black Panther for herself and proves to be as capable a fighter as her brother. Unfortunately, Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War have not given Shuri much of an opportunity to perform in this arena, though she's undoubtedly skilled in the ways of science.

Still, Shuri did manage to survive a brief close-quarters combat with Corvus Glaive when he broke into her lab while trying to take The Vision's Mind Stone. That's no small feat, given Corvus Glaive's super-strength, enhanced-speed, and fighting prowess.

28. Heimdall

As the gatekeeper of Asgard and guardian of The Bifrost Bridge, there is little that escapes the notice of Heimdall. Possessing powers of foresight that allow him to see and hear nearly everything that occurs within the Nine Realms, Loki once asked Heimdall why Odin did not fear him.

"Because he is my King. And I am sworn to obey him," replied Heimdall.

That fierce loyalty inspired Heimdall to continue acting as a guardian of Asgard, even after he was seemingly exiled by his liege lord in the events leading up to Thor:Ragnarok. Heimdall's powers proved essential in saving the people of Asgard from Hela and hiding them beyond her reach.

Despite this, Heimdall's powers did not allow him to save his people from Thanos. As Avengers: Infinity War opened, we saw Heimdall among the Asgardians who were apparently destroyed by Thanos and four of his followers.

He possessed strength enough to summon the Bifrost one last time to send The Hulk back to Earth and steer him to crash through the Sanctum Sanctorum - an act that cost him his life and made him the first major casualty among the Infinity Warriors.

A noble ending, to be sure, but we can't help but wonder how he failed to see Thanos coming!

27. Mantis

Born of an unnamed race of insectoid beings with natural powers of empathy, the young woman called Mantis was raised apart from her people by the Celestial known as Ego. He employed Mantis as a sort of caretaker, using her powers to calm his increasingly manic behavior. She would later the Guardians of the Galaxy in opposing her former master, when it became clear that his plans would eradicate all life in the universe.

Mantis is the textbook definition of "a lover, not a fighter."

While her empathic powers are impressive, they are also limited in how they can be used offensively. She can force a person to sleep, but the effect can be resisted by particularly strong-willed individuals. She was only able to bring peace to Ego, for instance, when he wished to sleep. She can also incapacitate a person by forcing them to feel intense sorrow or tremendous joy, but only to the point of acting as a distraction.

Mantis' powers are also limited in that they are touch-based and anyone she wishes to knock out is unlikely to let her get close enough to do so. Still, she did manage to briefly slow Thanos down (with a lot of help) by forcing him to confront his repressed grief over all that he had done. Unfortunately, Thanos' suffering was such that she could barely process it and she was on the verge of ing out even before Star-Lord messed the plan up.

26. Vision

A gestalt entity crafted from the Mind Stone and the mental patterns of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Helen Cho, Ultron, and Tony's A.I. JARVIS, The Vision was meant to be the ultimate expression of Ultron's will, housed in a body that mixed synthetic organic tissue with Vibranium. He became something else entirely - a unique life-form neither wholly human or machine, who was as committed to the preservation of humanity as Ultron was to destroying it.

Despite being one of the most powerful of the Avengers in the comics, the cinematic version of The Vision doesn't quite measure up to his comics counterpart. Even in the comics, The Vision existed primarily as an exploration of the classic science-fiction tropes regarding intelligence and emotions in artificial beings rather than a physical powerhouse.

Despite having a super-durable body and the power to phase through almost anything, Vision proves easy prey for Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive when they attack him and Scarlet Witch.

He spends most of Avengers: Infinity War in a walking wounded state due to his internal systems having been severely damaged. Only the fact that he was able to end Corvus Glaive s for his ranking as high as he did.

25. Star-Lord

The son of an ordinary Earth woman and the Celestial Ego, Peter Quill spent most of his life in ignorance of his divine heritage. Raised among a gang of Ravagers by Yondu Udonta, a young Peter easily adapted to the life of a thief. A legend in his own mind, Quill adopted the name Star-Lord from his mother's pet name for him as a child. He became an honest hero, however, after his efforts to steal The Orb of Morag led to him stumbling across Thanos' first efforts to acquire the Infinity Stones and meeting the other misfits who would come to form The Guardians of the Galaxy.

Since ending his own father, Peter Quill has been an ordinary human and, if it weren't for his high-tech toys, he'd be next to worthless in a fight.

Even then, his ego and short temper make him more of a liability than an asset to his allies. Peter Quill's heart may be in the right place, but his head is frequently somewhere else entirely and it can't be denied that it was Star-Lord's inability to keep his cool that led to Iron Man's plan failing.

Ultimately, Star-Lord's biggest accomplishment in Avengers: Infinity War was forcing Peter Parker and Tony Stark to experience a moment of realization, as they both look at each other as if to silently ask, "Is this what it's like to deal with me?" while they silently endure Star-Lord's forced bravado and pop-culture references.

24. Wong

One of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, the man known only as Wong served as the librarian of Kamar-Taj. He oversaw Stephen Strange's induction into the order and his early training in the basics of magical theory.

Wong's refusal to allow the novice Strange access to the more advanced materials that the library had to offer prompted Strange to become creative, mastering portals to great effect in order to work around the ever-watchful guardian. This eventually led to Stephen Strange's discovering the Eye of Agamotto and The Time Stone, whose powers proved essential in the battle to save Earth from The Dread Dormammu.

While he is primarily an academic, Wong is capable of kicking butt when he has to.

He only s the battle in Avengers: Infinity War briefly, fighting alongside Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Bruce Banner and Spider-Man as they defend New York City from Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian when they arrive in search of The Time Stone.

Though he fails to stop Doctor Strange from being abducted by Ebony Maw, Wong does get in a good hit on Cull Obsidian, cutting off the giant alien's hand with the quick closure of a portal. Unfortunately, the need for someone to stay and protect the Sanctum Sanctorum prevented Wong from ing Iron-Man in going off to save his fellow sorcerer.

23. Drax

Born of an unnamed race of tribals who are considered quite primitive by general galactic standards, Drax's people were nonetheless renowned as warriors. Drax himself is noteworthy, even among his people, having gone on a planet-spanning destruction spree after his wife and daughter were taken out by Ronan The Acc, on orders from Thanos. This earned Drax the title of "The Destroyer" and made him a figure to be feared even in the maximum security prison known as The Kyln. It was here that Drax first crossed paths with Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot and Gamora, going on to get his revenge on Ronan and form the Guardians of the Galaxy.

With superhuman strength, durability and a healing factor, Drax cuts an imposing figure in battle - along with anyone foolish enough to get in his way. Displaying a preference for knives above all other weapons, Drax is not afraid to get his hands dirty in a fight. Indeed, he relishes it. Despite this, Drax has found a measure of peace among his new family.

Unfortunately, Drax's simplistic view of things coupled with his short temper make him inefficient without a cooler head or sharper wit to point him at the proper target.

His single-minded approach to combat also causes him to have trouble facing multiple opponents or enemies wise enough to keep their distance from him.

22. Cull Obsidian

Little is known about the Child of Thanos known as Cull Obsidian. In truth, Avengers: Infinity War tells us very little about any of the Children of Thanos. All that we know is that he was the powerhouse of the group of four beings that make up Thanos' personal guard - the classic strong but silent type.

Based on a character from the comics with a problematic name, Cull Obsidian's comic book counterpart was tasked with leading the invasion of Wakanda during the Infinity storyline. It was a task that he failed, and he was later taken out by Ronan the Acc while attempting to win his way back into the good graces of Thanos.

Cull Obsidian's performance here is equally unimpressive.

We hardly get to see him in action and what we see speaks to his being dumb muscle with little sense of finesse in a fight.

He manages to get taken out of the fight in New York City by Wong and even loses a hand as he attempts to reach back through the portal that send him somewhere cold and far away.

He later goes one-on-one with the Hulkbuster armor (piloted by Bruce Banner) and holds his own until the suit's severed arm takes him for a ride. Cull Obsidian's apparent invulnerability was no match for a keelhauling along the inside of the energy dome protecting Wakanda.

21. Ebony Maw

Created by Jonathan Hickman for his run on New Avengers, the being known as Ebony Maw was the least imposing of Thanos' followers. Unlike most of the Black Order, Ebony Maw preferred strategy to raw force and cultivated an aura of mystery about himself. It is suspected that he had strong psychic abilities as he was able to bend the iron will of Doctor Strange during the Infinity event, though Ebony Maw denied having any powers beyond being incredibly persuasive.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Ebony Maw was given a major power upgrade, granting him telekinetic powers to match his apparent telepathy and hyper charisma.

The character maintained the same dramatic poise and sense of dignity, not dirtying his hands with combat when he could slap people around with a mere thought. He proved powerful enough in this regard to handle Iron Man in a one-on-one fight and was able to successfully bind and capture Doctor Strange when he was unable to just take the warded Time Stone.

Despite this, Ebony Maw lacked the telekinetic strength to stop himself from being sucked through a breach in the hull of his ship and flash frozen in the vacuum of space after Peter Parker and Tony Stark pulled an Ellen Ripley.
