I now they are very powerful but I dont know If they can beat earths top heroes

I haven't seen them do anything special yet...and probably won't...They are technologically advanced...that's their advantage :)

They're basically the creators of everything within the Universe and they've been curb-stomping The Avengers and the rest of Galactic Army. I haven't read issue 4 yet of infinity so I don't know if Avengers get the upper hand but the builders are pretty much limitless in power.

Depends on what context you mean? Collectively? Individually? There are different types of Builders for example.

Collectively they seem very powerful, enough to require the Shi'ar Empire to team with the Skrulls, the Kree, the Brood and Earth etc for example. So collectively I could imagine them beating Earths top heroes wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility. The Aleph's seem the most numerous of the Builders. They seem inexhaustible, but they also seem to be the weakest physically. Shang Chi and Captain America can fight them, and Ms Marvel, Silver Surfer and Thor can take on more than a few on their own. Gardeners seem pretty powerful, but in numbers nowhere near as plentiful as Alephs. Creators, Engineers and Caretakers seem to have more power than the others, but it might just be authority rather than physical power or ability.

Thanks now I understand how they work.

It takes a lot to put them down, I'll say that much!

I think it's more advantage of sheer numbers that builders have over the resistance that makes them more powerful.

Superior tech to the Shi'ar is a mind blowing feat.

Casually back hand bitch slapping Thor and drawing blood is an impressive feat of strength.

One of them turned the entire Annihilation Wave against each other. They are such a huge threat they forced the Kree, Skrulls, Shi'ar, Spartax, Brood and many other species to fight them.
