Well, I don't know that much about DC's really powerful characters, but
1) God
2) Michael/Lucifer
Near the top, but maybe not third through ninth, are the Endless (Dream, Death, Destruction, Destiny, Delerium, Desire, Despair)
Also up there are the various angels and demons, but durring Day of Judgement, the heroes of Earth kicked demonic ass, so most of them are presumably relatively weak.
The Spectre and Phantom Stranger are pretty powerful.
I think the gods of New Genesis would be arround Superman's power, but I'm not really familiar with them.
Never and some people at another board put together a really long list of the most powerful DC characters. I'll try to track it down.
Ah. Found it.
the most powerful is probably god, who gives the spectar his power{well atleast its rumoured that the voice that gave spectar his power is god}, then there is parallex, with all but onw ring of the green lantern corp, that guy cou;d destroy mutiverses, and then ofcourse, there is spectar, who can gain any power he wants
Swamp thing almost killed God all by himself. The elementals in DCU are of basic infinite power in there domain. Only there own conciousness holds them back. Constantine unlocked Swampthing's, this is why he was able to do it. Above the elementals are the Endless. First on the list has be Death, of the Endless. In the end all answer to death even the other endless. Insert God somewhere around here. Then Parralax, the Spectre, and a few others. Finally you get down to the mainstream superheros of which Doomsday, Superman, and Shazam might be on the top.

Riiiiight. 🙄
According to your logic, the list goes:
1] Death
2] the other Endless & GOD
3] Elements (including Swamp Thing)
4] Lucifer & Michael...I guess 😕
5] Spectre
6]........I'm confused now. So Swamp Thing almost killed GOD, yet he's below GOD in power and below Death? GOD created Michael and Lucifer and Lucifer has kicked the Endless around. The Sandman (an Endless if I'm correct) admitted Lucifer was more powerful than him. So if Lucifer can punk an Endless and an Endless is more powerful than an Element (Swamp Thing), Lucifer can punk Swamp Thing as well - and his creator/father GOD/Presence. That's your logic isn't it?
Now try and put a list together from your logic. 😈

that would have to be parallex. now i dont know why he was given such a low place in that extremely long list{nut hey that mustv taken u a helluva lot of time to pit together}, but parallex is far more powerful than micheal, and i admit that im nore of a marvel comics fan than a dc comic fan, i still know that parallex is easily on par with lucifer and is probably more powerful, and how come spectar got such a high place, that guy cudnt do a thing if lucifer or micheal wanted to smack him .around{even though he can duplicate ne power, hi is still not potentially as powerful as many of the others.

Who faught Parallax to a standstill in Zero Hour? The Spectre.
From what I know, Presence is DC's GOD and TOAA is Marvel's.
And yes that list is a bit inaccurate in my opinion as you move further down that list. However, the top portion seems accurate.
Furthermore, how can Parallax even match Lucifer or Michael? Thanos with the IG beat a handful of cosmic deities and the consensus is that he's below both L & M.
Ok beyonder, i know my response may have been worded messily but here goes. Death, The rest of the Endless, Swamp Thing (and any elementals that have reached there full potential, God, and then Spectre at his full potential (as he is the will of god the angel of death who has the right to pass judgement as he sees fit,) or Parralax if spectre is not full strength.
