Most Powerful Superheroes (2024)

  • 1. Dr. Manhattan

    With the ability to know everything, be anywhere, do almost anything and come back from anything Dr Manhattan is as overpowered as he gets though lack of showings previously kept him rather low. As of Rebirth, he has revealed to have been responsible for creating the New 52 Multiverse along with stripping away a decade of history as well as killing Pandora, trapping Mr Mxyzptlk and rewriting multiple timelines. He is also implied to be more powerful than even Darkseid himself.

  • 2. Spectre

    I don't think there was any doubt Spectre is the most powerful superhero in all comics. With the Presence backing him up, the Spectre can't possibly lose unless plot devices were involved. He casually banishes 5th Dimensional Imps and handles threats on the scale of the Anti-Monitor, Zero Hour Parallax, Emperor Joker that threaten the existence of the DC Multiverse.

  • 3. Solar

    The most powerful superhero of the Valiant Universe.

    Though his power levels may change from time to time, however as the Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange is no stranger to threats far bigger than himself, threats no one would want to handle themselves.

  • 10. Alan Scott

    The Green Lantern of Earth 2 wields the power of the Starheart, the entity from which is the embodiment of all magical energy in the universe. He is one of the most powerful members of the Justice Society having soloed the entire DC Earth heroes, mentally possessed some extremely powerful individuals, fought Nekron and his army in the Underworld alone and closed multiple dimensional rifts. In the New 52 DC Universe, Alan Scott is connected to the Multiversal Green, powered by his avatars from multiple universes and is the only being who can fight off the invasion threat of Darkseid.

  • 11. Takion

    As an avatar of the Source, Takion is nearly as powerful as the likes of Darkseid and is able to do almost anything with his powers. Takion can manipulate the Speed Force, Quantum Field and Emotional Spectrum.

  • 23. Genis-Vell

    His insanity is literally the key to how powerful he can be. Genis-Vell is comparable to Sentry in many ways.

  • 24. Captain Atom

    Nathaniel Adam has taken on the role as the Dr Manhattan in the New 52 DC Universe. With incredible displays of godlike power, Captain Atom is one to be feared and capable of so much more despite his early appearances.

  • 25. Mogo
  • 26. Kyle Rayner

    He was arguably greatest Green Lantern to ever live. In the New 52 DC Universe, his power continues to grow as he comes a White Lantern. Kyle Rayner holds the Life Entity and Life Equation with him. He is becoming one with the Source.

  • 27. Kal Kent
  • 28. X-Man

    Nate Grey was born with so many hax abilities it's not even funny. He supposedly has much potential as Franklin Richards. His powers however do burn out as a consequence.

  • 29. Kal-L
  • 30. Orion
  • 31. Thor
