The 10 best Marvel Super Heroes commanders.

Whenever Scarlet Witch deals combat damage to a player, she adds the top two cards of your library to a face-down pool, then casts a Hero or noncreature spell from that pool for free. The cards remain available to the same Scarlet Witch across later triggers, so every successful attack improves the next one.

Blue-red is exactly where this ability wants to be. Haste gets her moving immediately; top-deck setup improves every pair of cards; double strike, extra combats, and extra turns create more triggers. A single connection can cast the spell that creates the next combat, which creates the next free spell, and suddenly the deck is chaining damage turn after turn.

Iron Man copies the first artifact spell you choose each turn. The simple floor is excellent: double a mana rock, value artifact, or threat. The ceiling rises sharply when the deck can cast artifacts at instant speed, letting Iron Man produce value around the whole table.

Five mana means you want cheap protection and a curve that can deploy an artifact immediately after he resolves. Once the engine is online, though, it generates real cards and mana without asking Iron Man to attack.

Shuri comes down early, discounts every artifact spell, and can temporarily turn one artifact into a nonlegendary copy of another. That is an unusually dense package for two mana and makes commander tax much easier to absorb than it is for the splashier five- and six-mana legends.

The copy ability is sorcery-speed and needs two artifacts, but it rewards careful sequencing and opens a deep library of blue artifact interactions. She is the commander here most likely to look harmless until a utility artifact suddenly becomes the best permanent on the battlefield.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, Mister Fantastic draws a card if you cast a noncreature spell that turn. His activated ability then copies one triggered ability you control twice, turning the right enter-the-battlefield or attack trigger into a decisive swing.

The real advantage is flexibility: his color identity includes red, green, white, and blue even though he costs only three blue mana to cast. You can build a Fantastic Four theme, a triggered-ability toolbox, or a polished value deck without asking the commander to carry every turn.

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, Thor deals damage equal to that spell's mana value to any target. That turns ramp, removal, Equipment, and big red spells into a second layer of interaction or a direct route to closing the game.

His enter-the-battlefield ability also exiles an Equipment, instant, or sorcery from your graveyard and lets you play it through the end of your next turn. The card remains in exile rather than moving to your hand, but it still gives Thor a real follow-up and rewards recasting him.

Whenever another nontoken artifact enters under your control, Ultron can copy it for two mana. If the copy was not already a creature, it also becomes a 2/2 Robot Villain. Copying mana rocks helps pay for later triggers; copying utility artifacts creates a board that scales in both value and combat pressure.

The creature clause is both the appeal and the risk. Your copied artifacts can attack, receive Robot support, and close games, but they also become vulnerable to creature sweepers. The best lists will lean into that tension instead of pretending it does not exist.

Black Widow draws you a card and gains a +1/+1 counter whenever an opponent draws their second card in a turn. Because each opponent can trigger her separately, group-draw effects and wheels can turn an ordinary table cycle into a surge of cards and commander-damage pressure.

She gives red-white a clean engine from the command zone without demanding a narrow creature type. The tradeoff is political: helping the table draw can accelerate an opponent into the answer they need, so the strongest build controls when the extra cards arrive.

Doom makes a Villain connive at the beginning of combat on your turn and gives that creature menace for the turn. Doom is himself a Villain, so this ability functions without another Villain on the battlefield. The connive improves card quality and feeds Doom's first ability: discarding one or more lands makes every opponent lose 2 life.

The face commander of Doom Prevails does not need to attack, and Grixis supplies excellent discard and graveyard support without requiring an unrealistically deep Villain roster. The damage arrives in fixed increments, so treat it as pressure that supports a broader plan rather than the deck's only way to win.

Molecule Man gives nonland cards in your hand miracle {0}. Miracle applies to a card as you draw it and only if it is the first card you drew that turn; it does not let you cast every nonland already in hand. Top-deck setup and instant-speed draw can create one free-cast window on each opponent's turn as well as your own.

Six mana buys no enter-the-battlefield or board effect. If the deck cannot draw on opposing turns, the table may get a full round before your next draw step; with the right draw engine, however, Molecule Man can produce value on the next player's turn. That ceiling is balanced by the conditional first-draw window and colorless deck-building.

Captain America gives each other Hero vigilance and haste for the turn it enters, then puts a +1/+1 counter on that Hero and on himself. That is exactly what a typal commander should do: reward the deck's natural card choices, shorten the setup turn, and turn every creature into permanent board growth.

Jeskai colors cover interaction, card draw, and many of the set's Avengers. He is more exposed to sweepers than the value engines higher on this list, but he is the cleanest choice for a player whose first priority is assembling a recognizable Marvel team.
