Respect John Constantine, you buch of tossers

After traveling to Heaven, John avoids a physical punch from Spectre with a teleportation spell:

After mocking The Voice(of God), it was stated by Spectre that Constantine was able to 'fight' The Voice's wisdom:

John states that he could trap Spectre with a 'Vortex of Kellemore' incantation if he wanted to:

This gives credence to his previous claim that the earth's most powerful mages were capable of 'neutralizing' Spectre(to which Spectre agreed):

John states he can 'handle' Phantom Stranger(which he's already done a few times):

Teleports out of Heaven, and is able to outrun Zauriel long enough to reach the House of Mystery and invoke a 'Celestial Circle' imprisonment spell that is strong enough to trap Zauriel in the material world:

Remember, Zauriel was powerful enough to erase Phantom Stranger entirely from existence-- in fact, it took The Voice itself to resurrect PS from this doom:

Don't want to mislead anyone who doesn't read the issue...

The spell Constantine used to imprison Zauriel(see above) was short-lived. A few pages later, Zauriel was able to casually walk out of the Celestial Circle and *seemed* immune to one of Constantine's prepless spells:

This, however, doesn't change the fact that a spell John invoked on the fly was still powerful enough to initially contain Zauriel AND shield Constantine from one of his rage-fueled attacks. So yeah, it's still an uber feat either way.

**** it, John is a BEAST.

👆

Was he like that before the reboot?

His beastliness is undoubtedly more....pronounced.... in the DCnU. He is the most powerful mage, and DC is going out of their way to make that clear.

Dunno why I haven't posted this little humdinger yet...

Mr. E removes John's soul from his body with a cheap-shot attack. This, however, still doesn't stop John from owning him...
John: "Unlike most people, I know how to fight outside my body."
Mr. E: "You're more disciplined than ah thought, Constantine. It's not an easy thing, to leap out of your body like that. With no preparation whatsoever. The more ah deal with you, the more ah respect you.":

Constantine battles Mr. E, before ultimately destroying him with the Moonblade:

It would later be revealed that after a little magical 'tweaking', Constantine was able to imprison Mr. E's essence within the Moonblade for as long as he chooses:

Now, what makes the above feat SOOOO much more impressive is that Mr. E was massively amped by 1/3 the power of ALL the relics Constantine kept locked up-- relics that were ALL stolen by Mr. E's Cult and sapped of their energies:

Sargon further confirms this:

The magic in these relics was potent enough to make the likes of Faust, Papa Midnite, Etrigan, and even Spectre himself pause in concern:
http://imgur.com/GsvhE21

And like Sargon stated above: Mr. E was further amped by the magics he'd stolen from other mages(3 were shown on panel):

In fact, Mr. E was so powerful at this point that after Constantine 'killed' him, Sargon absorbed 1/2 of his latent magics(the other 1/2 went to Tannarak), and became God-like:

And remember: per Constantine, Mr. E was already a "Grade-A Wizard" before he absorbed any magic:

....Yet good ol' Johnny beat him in the space of a few pages. Lol, RESPEK!

Constantine kills Nick Necro(pre-resurrection), and steals his trench coat:

A brief scuffle between Constantine and Nick(post-resurrection):

As you can see, Nick was still pissed about the whole trench coat thing...

John is able to conjure a magical portal of sorts, which allows him to watch any ongoing event of his choosing, from anywhere on earth-- like flipping on the TV news:
http://imgur.com/EZAqtgx
http://imgur.com/nWFzTPy

Tells Doctor Mist that his magical protection seals are complete shit:
http://i.imgur.com/NPaTNuc.jpg

...Yet these 'shitty seals' were responsible for safeguarding 'The Black Room'(ARGUS' compendium of ridiculously powerful supernatural artifacts):
http://i.imgur.com/78bh6Ex.jpg
(They should've hired Constantine as head of security, lol.)

John is able to utilize some of Zatanna's backwards magic... Enough to snap her out of a mental spell, at least:
http://imgur.com/JWtkSbl
http://imgur.com/5BQ8Qhl
http://imgur.com/n6ahOEs

Negates the spell Nick Necro used to bind Zatanna, with a gesture:

Negates the spell Nick Necro used to freeze Deadman, with a gesture:
http://imgur.com/ztCyP6d
http://imgur.com/wYROhBg

And just for a point of reference, Necro was not only Constantine's original teacher of magic(see above), but after his demonic resurrection his powers were amplified, and he became powerful enough to stomp most of the magical big dogs in DC. More examples:

John and Nightmare Nurse invoke a 'Blackmare Curse'--one of the more complex spells in existence. It transforms its user into a literal demon and releases all of their inner darkness. After this curse was activated, the duo did extremely well against Blight, but NN pulled John away and negated the spell before he killed Blight's innocent host:

John's magic is such that Zauriel states he possesses "mastery of the material world.":

Easily shreds through several layers of Faust's magical defenses:

Can see through Nick Necro's illusion spell, thanks to the 'Tag and Track' charms he cast on his real teammates:

John owns Nick Necro with some kind of on-the-fly strangulation spell, before getting blindsided by the dickless b*tch Faust himself:

Either way, defeating Nick so casually is remarkable, given that he was shown to be more powerful than pretty much any other mage in DC(see above.)

Constantine shields himself, and a group of heroes, from Orko's mind-control spell:

This same spell mind-phucked every other metahuman on earth:

John once again proves that he is un-possessable:
http://imgur.com/PD9CZIl

Necro then possesses Swamp Thing and uses him to pull Constantine into the The Green. But unbeknownst to Necro, Constantine has Druid blood in him(evidently he won a pint of it in "a very enjoyable game of chance" lol), and is able to utilize a 'Wood Walk' spell enabling him to expertly navigate through The Green:

Necro uses a cheap shot to get Constantine into a magic circle that begins dragging he(and Swamp Thing) to Hell. Before being dragged down, however, Constantine appears to kill Necro by skewering him with a magical blade he manifested on the fly:

That comic have really manifested into "lets make sure Constantine does something crazy in every issue"

Constantine uses a spell that enables him to use demon blood to "fuel his escape" from Hell:

Constantine KO's Faust(with a baton, lol) and usurps his plan to remove all Gods, Demons, and Syndicates from earth:

Constantine whips up a dimensional portal and BFRs Dark Orko and Skeletor(after He-Man had harmed/weakened them):

A fraction of Constantine's consciousness(one of his inner demons made manifest) takes human form and is able to usurp the power of every mage on earth from Faust before discharging it to help save Zatanna:

Constantine's haxxness cannot be overstated.

John once again displays his ridiculously uber resistance to mental/mystical tampering--this time against Spellbinder:

John not only endures Spellbinder's attempts at mind-phuckery, but goes on to shatter his spells and cast him out:

Spellbinder: "You pushed me out. Nobody. Nobody has ever broken free of my spells... Your strength. It's unprecedented."

Constantine owns Frankenstein, Nightmare Nurse, Deadman, and Black Orchid with an omnidirectional blast:
http://imgur.com/9ZbAPJw
http://imgur.com/9eAwE3F

John displaces Frankenstein's sword into a pocket dimension, before downing him with a single word:
http://imgur.com/6EBKNPV

KO's Nightmare Nurse by deflecting her own attack right back at her, via Frankenstein's sword. He then owns Black Orchid by 'peeling away the layers of lies' around her identity:

Deadman tries to possess John. He fails:
