Every battle featured on Secret Wars on Infinite Earths contributes to a spinal column that is the Fight Club Rankings! Characters move up and down the ranks based on every win, loss, and draw. Real-time updates now appear at the bottom of featured fights, but with the end of the year we can take stock of the big picture!2018 was packed full of surprises, with many heroes facing defeat, and very little action at the top of the list. Thanos was the biggest mover of the year, decimating his way into the Top 10 with a special spotlight on Infinity Gauntlet!
Significant gains were made further down the list by an eclectic cadre of stand-outs: Gladiator, Mar-Vell, Siryn, Goliath, Vulture, Domino, Typhoid Mary, and Steel Serpent. There were major declines, as well, with a significant drop felt by: Enchantress, Cloak, Demogoblin, and The Flash. A Marvel heavy year generally worked against DC, but Green Lantern and Aquaman vied for the #20 spot, with Orion recording the biggest increase for a DC character with +81. It's worth noting that 2018 was also the first year in Secret Wars on Infinite Earths history to go without featuring perennial #1: Batman!
The list below spotlights the many characters who made appearances in 2018. This includes featured fights and Hero of the Week. We shattered 900 ranked characters this year! You can compare and contrast by looking back at the 2017 Rankings Recap. Remember: Some movement is incidental.
