In the most recent Demon Knights, Mordru called himself the most powerful magician - to which Xanadu said Merlin was the most powerful ever (and she was #2 as his student).
Or maybe Xanadu said Merlin was the most powerful and then Mordru countered with himself being the most powerful, my memory is fuzzy and I don't have it in front of me.
Either way, it gives a general impression of how powerful Merlin is. There's a significant chance of exaggeration going on, though, and such statements should always be taken with a handful of salt.
It's not exaggerated in the slightest. This series has made it clear that Merlin isn't just some pesky mage--he is a cosmic powerhouse. Again, though, holding all of time/space in his hands (as Merlin WAS doing) is impressive, but also quite hard to apply to any sort of combat feat.
But imo, he would be beyond Nabu.

Feat-wise? He hasn't done anything to warrant it. Merlin just *seems* like he is on another level.I don't see Nabu holding all of time/space in his hands, for instance. Just my opinion.
To me it's like saying Odin is beyond Galactus with his best combat feats of wrecking galaxies, affecting the entire space time continuum, or the multiverse.
You have to wait to see how Merlin handles himself against a top tier mage or other foe.

Regardless, since Merlin is no longer among the 'physical' world, we'll likely never know what he was capable of. He just seems more impressive to me.
