Most Powerful Characters in DC Comics

Superman is DC's most powerful mainstream hero, a being capable of moving planets whose only meaningful limits are magic and Kryptonite, and whose power level shapes every conflict around him.

Darkseid is a literal god of evil whose physical power is matched only by his cosmic authority, capable of casually destroying planets and wielding the Omega Beams across impossible distances.

Galactus the Devourer of Worlds operates on a scale that dwarfs most DC and Marvel characters alike, a cosmic force of nature who consumes entire planets to sustain himself.

The Anti-Monitor destroyed thousands of universes in Crisis on Infinite Earths, one of the most destructive beings ever depicted in mainstream superhero comics.

The Spectre is the physical embodiment of God's wrath, effectively omnipotent within DC continuity and capable of reality-altering feats that dwarf any superhero.

Lucifer Morningstar in DC/Vertigo lore is the former ruler of Hell who walked away from his throne, a being whose power is second only to his creator and whose stories explore free will and cosmic authority.
