The Mast's 30 Days of Comicdom (Day 16): Who Is the Most Powerful Character?

You slimy git.

Today, I almost forgot to even post this!

Sometimes a day goes by so fast that before you know it, bam, it's almost 8:30pm and you've not got a blog post up yet!

Fohgivuhness, prease!

The Mast's 30 Days of Comicdom (Day 16): Who Is the Most Powerful Character?

This is a very tricky question to answer, so rather than focusing on a specific character, this post will be about the abstracts of various universes.

The most powerful would depend on which universe we're discussing and such. Marvel, DC et al have their own respective characters. The one most powerful in Marvel, for all intents and purposed, would be The One Above All. Not the Celestial of that name, but the actual being The One Above All. It is Marvel's creator, basically.

So, those kind of characters are the most powerful, really.

Then, you have those beneath them. Those like The Living Tribunal, Eternity, The Spectre, Celestials. These characters aren't the pinnacle of their universes, but they are practically gods. They have varying degrees of omnipotence, omnipresense or omniscience.

Occassionally, you'll get someone like Dr. Manhattan who is a normal man that ends up with powers akin to these abstracts. That's usually the most intriguing kind, because you see the transformation of a character and their perception. Abstracts that are forces of nature, they more or less don't have much character.

Galactus is arguably the most characterful of the lot, and he's very stoic.

So, really, I could've answered this with a one word answer for each universe, but I wanted to add some depth.

In DC's entirely published history, I guess Dr. Manhattan would be their most powerful Earth born character, or one of. Marvel's...hmm. I'd have to think on that. I'd say Dr. Strange at the peak of his powers was pretty beastly. Molecule Man would also be a top contender, just based on his powers.

A bit of an odd topic, really. Sorry I couldn't deliver something less abstract, but that's the subject matter!
