Marvel Introduces An MCU Weapon More Powerful Than The Infinity Gauntlet
Summary
- Deadpool & Wolverine introduces the Time Ripper, which poses a huge threat to the MCU multiverse with its universe-destroying power.
- The Time Ripper in Deadpool & Wolverine appears to surpass the Infinity Gauntlet in power.
- The TVA tech sets the stage for future threats in upcoming Marvel movies.
Deadpool & Wolverine has released a new weapon that poses a great threat to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Centered around the multiverse, Deadpool & Wolverine features cameos from different franchises' history, dragging many characters from their universes into the Void. Stories that cross different universes require threats to match their scale, and with a new piece of equipment in the TVA, the Shawn Levy-directed film has created an enormous threat to the multiverse.
There are many different rules and explanations regarding the multiverse tossed around in the MCU timeline. The way that incursions and multiversal travel have been used have varied throughout projects,
with Loki and the TVA creating barriers that do not seem to influence story details in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, with Deadpool & Wolverine featuring the TVA, a more consistent multiverse may be coming to light in the MCU, which could yield new direct threats for upcoming Marvel movies.

What Is A Time Ripper? New TVA Tech Explained Paradox's Time Ripper Can Destroy Entire Timelines Close Mr. Paradox's Time Ripper technology could have enormous ramifications on the MCU.
The weapon combines matter and anti-matter and allows the person wielding it to destroy an entire universe. Paradox initially wished to use this to destroy the timeline that Deadpool and Logan's Wolverine came from. Following the death of Wolverine - that timeline's anchor being - the whole timeline has begun to atrophy, and Paradox wishes to speed that along with the use of the Time Ripper.
While hardly the same level of threat,
Paradox seems to wish to follow in the footsteps of He Who Remains from Loki. He looks to take a hard eye to the existing branches of the multiverse, and to prune them and clean them up. Doing this requires a cavalier attitude toward the lives that fill those branches. Paradox wishes to use the terrifying Time Ripper in a controlling and destructive way that only becomes worse once Cassandra Nova gets her hands on it.

1 How A Time Ripper Becomes More Powerful Than The Infinity Gauntlet Cassandra Nova Makes An Incredible Threat Even More Dire Close The Infinity Gauntlet is one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Containing six stones from across the universe, including the Time Stone and the Reality Stone, the potential that the weapon has seems endless. However, its use appears to be physically linked to the person wearing it.
The act of removing or restoring half of life in a single universe is enough to be permanently debilitating. When Tony Stark used it in Avengers: Endgame, it resulted in his own death.
Marvel has looked to introduce a larger scale to MCU threats ever since showing some of the Infinity Stones as little more than paperweights on a desk in Loki season 1. The ending of Deadpool & Wolverine nearly has Cassandra Nova using the time ripper to destroy every timeline, and to send everyone to the Void.
Even using the device to destroy a single timeline in full is beyond what is seemingly shown as possible with the Infinity Gauntlet. Nova’s attempt, although stopped by the heroes, shows that the Time Ripper has exponentially more power.

1 Will The TVA's Time Rippers Return In The MCU It Is Unclear Where The TVA Will Next Be Seen Close Most of the details to do with the MCU's multiverse storytelling are designed in each film to further that movie's story.
Spider-Man: No Way Home brought various villains from across the Spider-Verse arguably not because that made the most sense, but because it would make for the most entertaining film, though they could certainly appear in some form later on. The same will likely be true of any future with Time Rippers, as while the technology could certainly play a part in future storytelling, there's also a chance it will be limited to Deadpool & Wolverine's story.
The TVA has primarily been featured in Loki, but the series is not currently planned to have an additional season. Deadpool & Wolverine is their most prominent use in a film yet, but with the MCU rumored to be dropping Kang, it is unclear exactly how much of that group's legacy will continue to be explored.
The Fantastic Four appears to be set in another universe, and TVA and Time Ripper technology could be involved in that universe's end. Avengers 5 may also feature the TVA or Time Rippers in some capacity, although none of this is yet confirmed.

1 The continued expansion of the multiverse in the MCU has required new threats and new technologies to allow storytelling to function. The introduction of the TVA's Time Ripper is the next potential threat to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, it remains to be seen how much that weapon will affect the universe moving forward. With planet-eating villains ahead in The Fantastic Four and interdimensional stakes coming into play in future Avengers films, things will only grow bigger from here.
Deadpool & Wolverine has expanded the scope, and the universe will continue along that path in the next few years.
