Top 20 -List DC Most powerful DC character ever

It looked like the DC hierarchy we had here was severely outdated list your Top 20 or Top 10.

I will list mine if anyone is interested later

I think these characters would at least be a good starting point for almost any list..

In no particular order:

Parallax/Ion
Cosmic Extant
Mxy
Ultimator
Spectre
Mandrakk
CA Superman
Radiant
The Endless
God (and his children)
Swamp God
Anti Monitor
Overseers
The Word
The Source
GEB
Soulfire DS
FC DS
Superman Prime
Hyperman

List yours so I can tell you what is wrong with it. uhuh

DC hierarchy is incredibly complex. It’s a bigger challenge, than making up marvels.

Yeah good luck with that.

I'd say the starting point is ..

The Primal Monitor/Overvoid/'God'/The Source
Cosmic Armor Superman/Mandrakk
Spectre (full power)/Great Evil Beast

.. after which, most are up to personal opinion.

Mallo, The Adjudicator, The Overseers are also worth mentioning

The concepts of mercy (Radiant) and Vengance (Spectre) like free will, had no power over the concept of Anti-life. That's why she appeared powerless.

My list:

The Presence/Overvoid/The Source/Primal Monitor
CA Supes/Mandrakk
The Word
The Voice
GEB/Elaine
Micheal Demiurgos
Spectre/Radiant
Lucifer
Mxy
Anti-Monitor
The Endless
Overseers
Extant
FC DS
Swamp God
Imperiex Prime
Ion/Parallax
Kismet
Highfather/Phantom Stranger
Nabu
Guardians

Surely the power levels in the mainstream DCU depend one whose heirachy you use, the Moore/Gaimen/Carey one, or the Morrison/Johns one?

True. That's why its best to just bracket the likes of the Presence and The Source (Overvoid) in the same place since they seem to be one and the same thing.

Take the Guardians off

I know their rep has taken a bit of a knock but they are mostly a group of skyfathers with representation in the quintessence.

Yeah...COIE is one of the only PC stories I've read though, lol.


Allankles' list is very nice, too.

No love for Lords of the Ultra Realm? It's hard to find someone who has read that series.

I always assumed that Gabriel was pretty strong, even if he couldn't challenge Lucifer/Michael.

I would replace the Guardians with Krona.

The Witching Hour is also worth mentioning.

I think it's his lack of showings that mean noone can judge him. He probably should be nearly their equals, as he was created at the same time as them as one of God's 'sons'.

I've got issues rating Lucifer or Michael so high, because of their really, really, really low durability.

Even the embodiment of entropy (Fenris) was cut and bled from a human wielding an average rapier...

Christopher Rudd is no MERE human.

He's the ****ing embodiment of awesome.

Heh. I can't argue with that. He and Lucifer were by far the most compelling characters of that whole series.

No many people kill kids, dick chicks in hell and then take on Fenris with a god damned rapier.

He's going on my top 20 list.

Plus killing a, what, demon Prince in his own house? With the same rapier. Badassery personified.

John Constantine mentioned that the First of the Fallen is so far below Gabriel's league it wouldn't be a fight if they met.

FoF is pretty damn powerful.

King of Tears is worth mentioning as well.

No he's not.

Johnny Sorrow is.

King of fallout boy? Nah.

Zor, Sun King, Shugath are also worth mentioning.
