Anyway my friend's list was

1) Onslaught (pretty good start)
2) Prof X
3) Magneto
4) Dr. Strange (the other decent one)
5) Storm.
What a stupid and terrible list.

Clearly neither you nor your friend understand the power structure that exists in the Marvel universe.

However, if this list was "the 5 most powerful entities in the Marvel Universe who have actually ever had a decent and compelling storyline and/or whose existence within said universe isn't completely stupid" then both lists are still super wrong, but your original list is much less wrong than under the original premise.
