The DC Universe is renowned for its colorful cast of powerful characters. Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash are three superheroes blessed with immense powers. They use these abilities to keep the streets free from crime. Likewise, there are just as many villains with special abilities. Darkseid, Anti-Monitor, Doomsday, and the like are all super strong characters who use their powers to carry out evil deeds and bring society to an end. All of these characters possess special powers that make them stronger than the average human. But who is the strongest DC character?

That’s a tough question to answer. Is it Superman with his immense strength and ability to fly? Or maybe it’s Dr Manhattan with his time manipulation powers? Well, we have the answer for you right here. We have combed through all the major DC titles and discovered the most powerful characters in the DC universe.

1. The Presence

When you talk about the strongest DC character, it’s hard to top The Presence. In the DC Universe, this being is the equivalent of god. While it is true a number of Greek gods also feature in the DC comics, The Presence is more in line with the Christian faith. The creator of all things, the being’s powers are limitless. The Presence is the creator behind all life. He gave the Spectre his powers, resurrected the murdered Justice Society, and is the creator of the Council of Eternity. 

The few times The Presence has appeared in human form, the character has done so as an elderly gentleman. Dressed in a dark suit with a bowler hat, umbrella, and grey mustache, The Presence looks nothing like the all-powerful being he really is. 

2. Anti-Monitor

DC Multiverse Historian

Anti-Monitor is one of the great comic book villains. The universe destroying baddie is responsible for the famous Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline, where he wreaked havoc amongst the worlds. He has killed more DC characters than any other supervillain. Not only is Anti-Monitor massive in stature, aiding his physical strength, he is also extremely durable from attacks. He can also shoot dangerous beams of energy, warp reality, and argument other people’s powers. But his most powerful gift is his ability to absorb energy, meaning he can literally engulf entire universes. What’s more, he can’t actually die. He really isn’t the kind of guy you want making trouble in your neighborhood.
