He might not be able to make something on par with Prosh, but it would be far beyond our ability to defeat.
Or he could just go Godzilla on a few cities, declare himself the Apocalypse, and wait until the world's religious fanatics flock to him and establish him as a god. evillaugh
.....................So I had a fanboy moment. Sue me. 😛
For once, I agree with you about Apocalypse, Trickster...
Apocalypse is DEFINITELY the weakest marvel character that could take over the world.
You win.

Your very laughable, but sadly you don't realize the true impact storm could have have on the planet.0 chance you say?
K, I'll play with you, first and foremost, unless storm is going to be fighting like an idiot, she want be anywhere near bullets. I'm assuming since guys like T'challa and Reed are allotted prep, then so is storm, and since prep is allowed, that must mean the world is blind to a first strike.
Storms first strike will not be the wraith of her lighting, the fury of her tornado's, the freezing cold of her blizzards, or the massive unrelenting power of her hurricanes. No, her first strike will be......satellites.
Storm will make it her business to fly the to edge of the atmosphere and take out every satellite she can by simply robbing them of there power.(she can do this because she has robbed machines as large and advanced as skrull warships before. )
I don't think that would be a problem for the simple fact that most military satellites operate just outside the earths atmosphere. She would do this for a few days, taking out as many as she can.
Meanwhile on earth we would be lost as to why we don't have TV, our cell phones are working, radio, all that good stuff would be all sorts of messed up. But confusion is only the start.
The military of the world would be twice as baffled, with no GPS, how would they guide that H-bomb you speak of? Let alone target a being who can drop her temp so shes all but invisible to any type of early warning detection we could muster up.
After the would is in shambles as to why 75% of our satellites are out of commission, and the military is lost because we know the military is heavily dependent on communication, She would settle somewhere, an undisclosed island, or somewhere in a mountain, a cabin by a lake, who knows, her next move will be to make it snow.
Yes snow, and I'm not talking a dousing of snow, I'm talking an Ice age event level of snow. She would create MASSIVE blizzards all over the planet (think that movie The day after tomorrow).
Oh and by the way, we STILL wouldn't know what was going on (Crazy weather were having).
After a few weeks of massive snowstorms all over the planet, the majority of the worlds major airports and military bases will be grounded. So much for the B-52's and B-1's launching those nukes, and as for the few that make it in to the sky..........what are they going to hit? They can target nothing, let alone have long range communication with any command center.
The military of the world would not be picking up their guns to fight a war, because their isn't one, Its just crazy weather remember!!!! Millions of people would die, and the world would be powerless to stop it.
Really, when was the last time you seen humans do anything but act as cannon fodder to mother nature?
If storm wanted to, she could slowly kill every living being on this planet, and we would never know why, let alone who was doing it.
Laughable my foot.
First of all, Storm can't fly into space. No air there.
Second, Storm can't even affect an area the size of a state let alone a country. Third, she doesn't have unlimited stamina. She tires easily and must rest, eat, and sleep. She would be half dead before she destroy's at least a state (if she can affect an area that wide). Fourth, all it takes is one bullet or one nuke explosion within 30 miles of her location. How can she give any demands when that would reveal where she is when she do (even though the World would already know since she can't destroy the satelites). Trust me, there is not even the slightest inkling of a chance she can take over the world. Her chance is 0.0000000000... (infinite zeros).

Hulk I really really doubt. he's powerful but has no range, he has no influence over people's minds (crucial imo) nor can he really impose enough fear into people for them to follow him unquestioningly.
he might have been a world conqueror in the style of a Genghis Khan or an Alexander, but that age is far gone... it's myth now.
Hulk would have to wait for some sort of catastrophe to befall the planet, before he could impose himself upon it sufficiently.
mind you, if Hulk allied with Bruce Banner's genius, I'm sure he could make the deals, make the technologies and make the alliances that would allow for him to be an emperor... of sorts. same way Iron Man or Reed Richards would.

actually your wrong. storm can go into space. and she can infact effect the entire world. she doesnt tire easily. she could destroy a country and not be tired. and no, a bullet will do nothing to her. shes not dumb enough to not put up a sheild of some sort. she can destroy satalites. trust me, she has more power than you think. and she is nowhere close to weak.

I'm not exactly saying that Storm could "take over the world" 10/10, but your opinions are askew and ill-informed.
1) Storm doesn't need to fly into space to knock out satellites. Secondly, she has been shown to control solar winds/storms.
2) Uncanny X-men circa 455 "World's End" arc - Storm creates a blizzard that covers continents, slowly making its way to global. The forces were stated to be stronger than "those that shaped the earth."
3) Believing that she would tire before "destroying a state" is just plain stupidity, and only shows you've never picked up an X-book.
Honestly, you just don't know what your talking about.
The problem with taking over the world is why are you actually doing it? A lot of characters like storm can hold the world ransom or something by threatening to destroy it. Any semi-intelligent comic character can steal a few nukes and do the same thing. In a situation like that though you can only make so many demands. You can't stay in hiding and control the entire world, shaping it to your will. And you will be hiding in a bunker for the rest of your life which isn't exactly what I'd call taking over the world. So I assume an appropiate challenge would be taking over the world and having complete control over all political/financial/industrial power in any aspect at any time.
If the person is really hiding out you can produce some smallpox/ebola hybrid and release it after vaccinating most of the world. If the ruler doesn't die they'll be effectively trapped unless they had a good number followers to assist in getting the vaccine too or letting them know the virus is coming so the ruler can prepare (but that will make it easier to find the rulers location).
That being the case, I think someone with superspeed would be the best person to maintain control of the world for a significant period of time. Demands can be made in writing and delivered by hand. They can even call in demands and just run away before they can be traced and nuked. You can effectively remain anonymous and just live a normal life giving orders whenever u want. storm could do this too. she should probably make demands in like 10 foot tall lightning writing or something that she can control from a fair distance away so they can't trace her (even if she mails letters or something this has potential ways to find her. and she can't move quickly without being a fairly obvious flying person (even in fog she isn't radar proof right? set up will be required for massive radar coverage of the world though)
So yeah it's actually pretty easy to take over the world. If you're just gonna be like a dick and say "I'm ruler of the world obey me or die" and sit on a giant throne then I guess u're gonna need to be like batman or some crazy prep guy who can take over the financial world or something. other than that u're gonna need invulnerable level characters. thor, juggernaut. maybe grey hulk or someone like him (must have some thought to prepare appropriate defenses. (can that version heal back from nukes ok? )
