so i just read a little about black alice (never heard about her before). She seems to have the ability to mimick anyones abilities (Even extremely powerful beings).
Is that why she is the most powerful? Does she have other things (Artifacts, unique knowledge etc etc) that makes her powerful?
Alice can steal the powers of ANY magic user she chooses, no matter how powerful they are-- this includes characters like Phantom Stranger, Spectre, and Thunderbolt(a 5th dimensional being) to name a few. She literally becomes the character she steals power from, thus she gains all of their knowledge as well. If a particular magic user commonly employs artifacts, she also gains those artifacts when she dupes their abilities. Imho, she is the most haxxed/dues ex machina'd magical being in comics.
^^ Actually, there is one more OBSCURE mage that could be even more haxxed than Alice. I forgot his name, but he was in a Shadowpact issue and he has the power to NEGATE any magical power.
I think it was Blue Devil joked and said, "where was this guy when Spectre was on a rampage". Or something to that. He was all white.
Hm, doesn't sound familiar-- I'll have to look into him. Regardless, Spectre possessed the ability to turn off/negate magical powers as well(he did this to Cap. Marvel, for instance.) That didn't stop Alice from stealing his powers. /shrug
Remember, Alice doesn't copy magical power. She steals it from the host. ALL OF IT. ie. if she becomes Zatanna, Zatanna herself becomes powerless while Alice is in possession of her powers... Alice would render the mage you mentioned completely powerless with a thought.

Do people like dormammu count as mages? Because that makes a pretty big difference in what all the list would count. Not naming him per say but wondering if demons, gods, genies etc count as mages if they accomplish things through magic.
I'm pretty sure their just naming comics because it's what they're most familiar with plus easier. There are millions of mages in fiction around the world everyones just naming it to the few hundred or thousand in comics since it's a comic book and what most people know off hand.
Seriously, that right there is ALL of his comic book appearances. 2 pages in a single issue-- and his power was only commented on. He has absolutely no feats to his name. Regardless, he doesn't have the ability to negate magic, per se-- he has the ability to "dampen"(ie. weaken) magic to some [unknown] degree. His powers are uber in theory, but we have no idea what he can actually do... And we never will.
Alice remains the most haxxed magic user in comics.
