Judit Polgár (born 23 July 1976) is a Hungarian chess grandmaster, widely regarded as the strongest female chess player of all time. She is the only woman to be ranked in the world top 10, the only woman to achieve a rating over 2700, reaching a peak rating of 2735, and the only woman to compete in the final stage of a World Chess Championship. She was the top-rated woman in the world from January 1989 until her retirement from competitive chess in 2014, remaining No. 1 until the March 2015 rating list, a record of 26 consecutive years as woman's No. 1.

Polgár was a chess prodigy, and at age 12 became the youngest player to break into the FIDE top-100 rating list, ranked 55 in the January 1989 list. In 1991, she became the youngest player at the time to achieve the title of Grandmaster, at the age of 15 years and 4 months, breaking the 33-year-old record held by former world champion Bobby Fischer.

She is the only woman to have won a game against a reigning world number one player (Garry Kasparov, in 2002), and defeated eleven current or former world champions in either rapid or classical chess: Magnus Carlsen, Anatoly Karpov, Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and Rustam Kasimdzhanov.

Who is hotter?

The Collector and the Grandmaster come to Earth looking to make a contest with its champions. Wagering each of their Infinity Gems, they bet on which powerhouse can beat the other in a fight, with Collector choosing the Hulk and Grandmaster assuming mental control of Thor to instigate the challenge. The Avengers are in the process of looking for the runaway Hulk in northern Canada when Thor suddenly shoots their own Quinjet out of the sky with lightning before rushing off to attack the jade giant. Hulk fights back at first, but even he can tell something is off with Thor, and eventually spots the Elders spectating. His Banner side convinces him that Thor is just being used, so Hulk gets the idea to transform back to Bruce Banner, counting on Thor to resist striking a harmless opponent and break free of control. It works, but Hulk also tells Banner that he didn't really care if it did or not.

The other Avengers catch up and attempt to interrogate the Elders, but with their game spoiled, they don't stick around long before teleporting away. The Avengers notice that Banner also changed back into the Hulk and started bounding off, but Thor argues to let him go for now. Later, Grandmaster and Collector gather alongside other Elders of the Universe to note that the Earth still holds interest to all of them.
