Top 10 Most Powerful Fictional Characters

This dude made everything, the omniverse is the collection of literally everything, from marvel to dc to Star Wars to the world we live in! There's no way the creator of existence itself is not number one on this list. This is basically the fictional iteration of god.
The One Above All is by far the most powerful character ever created. The current number one, Goku, may be able to destroy galaxies, but I don't think he can make them on a whim, which is what it would take to be a speck of a blip on the One Above All's radar. The One Above All literally has power over everything. If Goku tried to fight him/her/it, The One Above All could easily just take Goku's abilities away, simply negate their existence. He/she/it could also negate his entire existence. That's real power.
Ain't no way Saitama, Goku, or Superman are top 5. I'm just saying that right now. There are literal creators of the universe that cannot die and are all powerful, ALL POWERFUL. I don't people's logic when they say Saitama or Goku could beat One Above All or The Presence or Kami Tenchi. Sicne they are literal Gods, with a capital G, couldn't they literally do anything? Yea Saitama can't just punch those Gods out of existence, if you believe that, this is probably the nicest way I'll put it, you aren't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw goku at #1. Having a huge fan base doesn't mean he's the most powerful character, goku is not even in top 20
One above all is the most powerful character and I'm sure goku fans doesn't really know about one above all. His powers are supreme, his name said it all I don't need to explain but that's really funny to see Goku at the top, this website really sucks cause it's based on public opinion, every idiot can vote his favorite character.

Goku powers are unlimited, all above is nothing in front of dragon ball character
Who is zeno he can erase all universes In just a second, As Goku can go beyond his powers so it is possible that Goku can go beyond zeno, some people says that Goku power level increases without training actually no anime mostly shows the training which is waste of time if something Is very interesting in the training part it is always in front of our eyes. That day is very close when Goku will be the most powerful character in anime history and obviously in present and there is no comparison between marvel characters and dragon ball characters.
Son Goku is truly NOT the strongest (at least not yet), There are versions of superman which could easily annihilate Goku for example and in DC/marvel comics there are entities who could defeat Goku, HOWEVER, Son Goku is definitely one of the strongest character if you actually do genuine research and power scaling. Ignore the Saitama cucks, he's no big deal, Goku has the potential to become the strongest but that doesn't mean he will however with all my heart I hope he does. Goku is top tier but he is not there yet even though if anyone deserves to be the strongest it definitely is Son Goku, the Legend, the almighty Super Saiyan, Kakarotto.
With the Ultra Instinct Mastered now, Goku is able to defeat Jiren, who can defeat the Gods of destruction. In Episode 129 of Dragon Ball Super, Goku is shown to create an entire universe by just tapping his foot. Now that's the power
How is Superman or anyone else going to face a punch of power of multiple stars and galaxies in the face! Even if he somehow does, Ultra Instinct has given Goku equally better Defensive skills, nearly dodging Each and every attack by an opponent. Remember, Goku always challenges his opponents to fight at their best. Aftetall, he is a Saiyan and Saiyans keep increasing their power as they face new challenges and opponents.
Goku is at par with gods now and I don't really think there is something which can actually defeat him.
I am a fan of Marvel and DC too but honestly, this is what is the reality.
GOKU with Mastered ultra instinct is the most powerful character as of now.
I can't believe I've actually seen people genuinely think Naruto could beat Goku. It's only a fair fight if we make Goku fight Naruto while Goku is at the beginning of DBZ maybe around vs. Vegeta and Naruto in his prime.
Goku is clearly Multiversal at this point, his Mastered Ultra Instinct form is leagues above when he was in Super Saiyan God vs. Beerus, their fight alone was rupturing the Universe. Not to mention Goku being a Saiyan makes him increasingly stronger the more he fights and Dragon Ball doesn't look like it's going to completely stop any time soon

Plain old regular Superman is already enough. He can move planets, defeat universal level threats, carry 20 quintillion tons, and hold black holes in his hand. Sure he can do that, but that doesn't cut it for me. However when we move to the more powerful versions of Superman, things get interesting. Certain versions of Superman definitely deserve to be on this list, I'm not listing them all, but if one is interested, they should do research.
I don't care what other peoples say. Superman is way better fighter and father than Goku! And more smarter, more stronger! Superman just trying save everyone, while Goku just always satisfying his own desires/ego to be strongest warrior in the universe. But this is the thing why he always risking everyone life... Superman is a real pure heart! Not Goku...
Superman is the first so from being around for so long he's gotten so many over powered upgrades he is at the point that he can't actually be beaten without something in the plot like kryptonite or magic to weaken him first. Its essentially up to how the writers are feeling that day. his biology makes it so he's strong as he needs to be for the fight that he's fighting. its really not even fair.
Superman kinda can't die, he has other versions that cannot get affected by his weakness, kryptonite, and I think he can get affected by magic. Not sure. There's cosmic armor superman, that's the most powerful I think.

How the hell is Superman above his creator? Which is the presence and how the hell is Superman more powerful than his creator that literally made him and can just undo his existence? Lol he should be in the top 3's right behind the one above all since he is technically the god of DC comics and can just erase Superman and Goku out of existence.
A funny thing to notice is how the truly most powerful characters generally don't have that big a role in stories because if they were the main protagonist they could simply win automatically.
he should at least be 2nd place since he's suppose to be god just like the one above all I don't understand how Goku and Superman are above him he can easily erase them out of existence also how is Superman more powerful than the person that made him? presence created Superman so he can just erase him out of existence.
The Presence is (yet again) a LITERAL GOD. Why are these GODS rated so low? Idiotic fans really put Superman higher than the GOD who created him. The Presence is easily stronger than Superman and Goku. The Presence is on the level of Zeno from DBS, so of course he's stronger than Goku. My GOD, just put the OP beings in the right spots. Easily No. 4 or 5.

To say that the ultimate force that is Shaggy Rogers is the most powerful being in the entirety of existence would be an understatement. A lot of people would probably say that Thanos is more powerful, but while Thanos could only destroy half of all living things in the universe with the infinity stones. Shaggy could snap his fingers and destroy every conceivable universe and timeline and still not be at his maximum power.
I'd go far as to say that not only did he create the world we're standing on, but he likely even created each universe.
Before there was existence, there was Shaggy Rogers.
This glorification honestly needs to end. Sure Shaggy was a badass in that one scene in a Scooby-Doo film, Heck the Ultra Instinct edit was funny and well made. Now, this crap fest of a meme has people proclaim Shaggy supposedly use "0.1%" of his power comes right out of nowhere and instantly assume him to be up among the likes of Goku, Superman, Darkseid, Thanos and more. I'm sorry but, how is this funny? There's no substance to this joke. Aside from that one scene, Shaggy isn't this "Unstoppable God" that this meme has made him out to be and it directly goes against his character at the same time too. Not to mention Shaggy's feats are entirely made up by fans whereas the accomplishments done by characters like Superman (Who can sneeze a galaxy away) and Darkseid (Who can destroy the entire multiverse by simply existing outside Fourth World) are Canon.
Also, meme characters have NO reason to be on this list. Shaggy had a funny meme for a certain amount of time, but at this ...more
Easily number 1. The dude can literally destroy the entire Omniverse with 100% of his power, and that's not even close to his max limit. His max limit literally goes up to 50000%. He could obliterate every character on this list except The Presence, TOAA and Memes with just 0.5% of his power, and with 10% he could destroy the meme characters too. With 20%, he could even beat The Presence and TOAA. It's also PROVEN by the creators of Shaggy themselves that Shaggy is this strong. Just go watch the intro scene of Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms for yourself.
He is probably the most powerful character to be ever born. He is said to hold the power of God, some says he is God. He taught Gohan to master Ultra Instinct and was able to fight El Grande Padre without a blink. Some says he defeated all the DC and Marvel universes together and when Batman was about to pass out, he laughed and told him:
"Like, not bad Bat Guy, you and your friends made me use 5% of my power."

Bro this should be at least top 5. This guy is the regulator of the entire Marvel Multiverse, which makes Goku and Superman look like little babies. He's nearly omnipotent by Marvel standards, and that's saying something because Marvel is probably the strongest fictional universe.
The Living Tribunal is a he cosmic judge of all realities second to only the one above all. He can destroy realities on command and everything in it. So no matter how powerful a being is, they will die unless they don't exist in any reality which is literally no one.
The Living Tribunal is explicitly stronger than Silver Surfer and The Hulk in-universe, so I'm not really sure why he's BELOW them on this list.
How is Goku higher than him? He is nearly omnipotent and Goku is just a dude who can summon plasma and stuff

Superman and Goku above Kirby... eh? first of all, superman's abilities are literally the same as Kirby's, (has freezing abilities, travel at speed of light, fly, burn holes in stuff with lasers), but Kirby is still a child, and has a pocket dimension in his stomach, and would just annihilate superman at a distance if he wanted to using on of his many copy abilities or a star rod. He could just inhale any projectile shot by Goku, and fire it back with 1.5 times the damage, and then just inhale Goku and become and even more powerful being.
It is Canon that he has absolutely infinite power, which is the biggest number that you can have. If that doesn't shut down your argument, then you are a baby who is too obsessed with a certain character to see the truth. Kirby can swallow y
Kirby is literally the most powerful creature ever. He may look cute, but he can destroy planets with his bare fist. He can punch 50 times a second, and it only takes 3 of these punches to kill a weaker character. His warp star is faster than light, and with bare feet he can run on water. He has defeated creatures with infinite power! He can throw a frying pan with a 20 ton critter on it to the sun and back! He can eat anything, including planets. Don't forget his copy ability! He can survive planet-sized explosions. And don't forget that this is all while he's a BABY! If he was an adult, he would probably launch a planet across the universe by touching it. He can inhale all of reality, and can use invincible candy to become indestructible and deal contact damage. In conclusion, no one can survive the wrath of cute little Kirby.
He is easily the strongest character, just ever. Even without any abilities, he hasn't incredible durability, strength, has the Warp Star, which can travel at speeds far faster than the speed of light, and can teleport with the Warp Star if he gets enough speed. His regular inhale is super powerful, and is able to suck up many things, and if you're too big for him to inhale, he can either use an ability to destroy you, destroy you without an ability, or use Supernova to inhale full planets. He can destroy planets with punches. Universe destroying beings are just everyday things Kirby deals with. In Kirby's Return to Dreamland, he is able to destroy Magalor, who is using the Master Crown, which gives its user infinite power. THEN, after Magalor was destroyed, the Master Crown took over his body, and became even more powerful. Kirby defeated that, and the universe they were in shattered due to the Master Crown's power. Kirby was perfectly fine. There are far more things he has done, but ...more

Galactus could beat superman. He can absorb matter and energy so he could do that to his enemies. He could get too big tofight.
Worlds are certainly fun to destroy, but to eat?
I don't know eh

Come on dude
Bill Cipher could defeat anyone in existence just by blasting them to dust whenever he feels like it after he made them trust him. He has every power that I could think of and he can create life so why not just create someone stronger than the person he's fighting and then kill the thing he created.
He literally leveled Gravity Falls to nothing but weirdness in just a few minutes. He could defeat everyone and he can haunt people's dreams so hard that they go insane them Bill Cipher blasts them to dust.
He can beat anyone on this list and could blow up entire universes and seconds. Plus that voice is sooo amazing.
I have to say hardly ANYONE is stronger than Bill!
I mean I might not be a Gravity Falls fan (one of my friends is the biggest one ever though) although I have seen a couple of episodes (thanks to my friend) and I will definitely will say he's probably like as powerful as it gets! I mean he has all the power Thanos has (with the gauntlet) but unlike Thanos he can't be killed by any weapon or even destroyed by someone like Beerus when he uses his mind, however he could still be destroyed by one of his destructo blasts. (My sis is a huge fan of Beerus). Considering he's basically invincible and immortal and he can't be absorbed (so that makes him stronger than kirby) and considering also that he can control reality, time, space, matter, the soul, and the mind he definitely deserves to be higher than 7. So I basically I would say he's the strongest there is but there still are people who could definitely could beat him though such as Eddie the Head (that guy rocks! ), Beerus (if he ...more
From what I can remember Bill Cipher has the ability to summon anything, or alter those summoned, other inanimate objects, or himself to any degree he wishes.. He can really do anything if a deal is struck which is signified by a shaking of hands with one other, from straight up mind control (the original being's consciousness kicked out of them), to altering reality itself. But any villain must be defeated for the sake of the story, and in this case he was outsmarted, not outpowered, by being tricked into striking a deal with the wrong twin ([Grunkle] Stan Pines and Ford Pines, not Dipper and Mabel) and being erased from existence, however there are still signs that Cipher is still alive and can come back. He was born in the second dimension, which he despised so he threw it all into a chaos of destruction and fire. (Last I checked that's something neither Goku or Superman can do) His name isn't actually Bill Cipher to be truthful, it was just a name he chose to make dealing with ...more
Bill is reality warper from the 4th dimension. He can change the laws of physics at his will. Characters like goku or saitama are bound by logic. But I even though I think bill is stronger than most of the characters on this list like goku, superman, and saitama. He isn't the strongest. Beings like the one above all could beat bill.

The entire *point* of Saitama is that he is infinitely powerful, so much so that he actually begins to hate it: no villain is a challenge for him, almost no monster survives more than a single punch from him... Even the mostly godly foe just bores him. In his final fight of season one, no matter how obscenely powerful his alien opponent is, it's clear that Saitama is never in any actual danger, that he never loses control of the situation. In fiction there is no superhero more powerful than he is, and that's his weakness. I'm sure every character on this list would rather be in the #1 spot than Saitama.
Saitama is a character who has no limit to his power. As a fan boy of both characters Saitama and Goku. I would choose Goku above everything except one, strength. I think Saitama has no limits because he has'nt even displayed his true power yet. If we see the power he has displaced is far stronger than superman's as he took less than 5 seconds to get from sun to earth just by jumping and don't forget Saitama is a earthling. Now if you ask me its pretty fast but Goku is fast with his ultra insticnt but strength out matched, but there is still a conlusion too be given. If you see Dragon Ball franchise has not finished yet, so we still don't know Goku's true potential because we surely know Goku is going to progress with his strength, so none of us still don't know who is stronger saitama or goku its still to bee concluded but for me its both of them on the top spot for the first place.
Because of the structure of his series, there is some talk about power levels but it has been confirmed that Saitama is 'physically unbeatable'.
Despite status, Saitama has 'removed his limiter' meaning, he can be as strong as he very well feels like. If you include the facts his fist can fly faster than the speed of light. (Physically impossible but who cares).
Also, in one episode he completely broke the force of a blow powerful enough to obliterate earth, to dumbifiy that, basically he could destroy the entire earth in one punch. WHILE HOLDING BACK.
Also it's a comedy series so that basically already removed all limits. If you haven't, check it out. Back on topic, if he went up against, Goku, for example, while Goku would eventually reach some sort of limit. Saitama wouldn't even break a sweat.
In terms of physical strength, endurance, speed. Saitama is by far most powerful. Because unlike the others he literally DOESN'T HAVE A 'PEAK OF STRENGTH'.
Saitama is a joke. He's OP for the memes, but turns out he isn't actually OP. He's top 10 excluding the literal gods, but definitely isn't on the level of Regulator Thanos. He might beat Superman and Goku, but he isn't actually really that fast. He's only human after all, and he took multiple punches to beat Boros, who superman could probably obliterate him. Goku when he masters ultra instinct will just evade every one of Saitama's attacks. Saitama has no other utility other than speed and power. Overrated.
The Newcomers



There Ten Reasons why Thanos is Ranked Below Bill
1. Infinity Gauntlet wouldn't work outside of the marvel universe
2. Thanos can use the Mind and Time Space Gem to break Reality
3. Infinity Gauntlet can only Work with prep time
4. Thanos can't Mind of someone
5. Bill can One Shot Thanos
6. Thanos One Shot Galactus without the Gauntlet or the Infinity Gems
7. Bill knows Lots of Things and Everything's
8. With The Heart of the Universe Thanos can Destroy things
9.If Thanos was Bloodlust he will ranked higher but he will be ranked to 12
10. infinity Gauntlet Snap would never Work on the Mavel Universe
Now this is just stupid. If we're talking about plain-old Thanos, MCOC Thanos, or MCU Thanos, he's powerless compared to the likes of Saitama (blegh). But if we are talking about HOTU Thanos, he's easily No. 5, excluding literal gods. If we're talking Regulator Thanos, he's No. 6 at least, including the LITERAL GODS (such as The Presence, TOAA, Kami Tenchi, Zeno and Azathoth). I've likely missed a ton but that would only either put Regulator Thanos -1 or stay the same because he's on the level of gods, as he revealed TOAA in the first place. There's no stopping Regulator Thanos. Regular Thanos on the other hand, is around the strength level of Galactus or Darkseid. MCU is around the level of Batman. MCOC is just a joke.
He can literally break apart the marvel universe by snapping. Nice.
This mans a grape that killed half the universe...

The Beyonder killed the Living Tribunal, which is the representative of none other than the One Above All. So yeah, he's powerful.
The Beyonder should be above his current ranking.
Excuse me!? He is the most powerful thing in marvel!
Beyonder was created as a supreme being from 'beyond' the marvel-verse.
The original beyonder would stalemate ToAA.

For those who thinks Batman is undeserving of his spot, you're cringe. Just look up the different forms of his.
Like Batman who Laughs from the Dark Multiverse who is considered stronger than Goku, White Lantern Batman who is on par with at least SSB Goku. Hellbat suit Batman, who could be considered stronger than Superman and then there's even Batman when he's on the Mobius Chair which makes him transcend space-time. The chair gives him omnipotence, it tells him anything he wants to know completely and allows travel through time and space instantly.
And of course even if we talk about the classic Batman, with prep time you can't forget he could beat anyone below TOAA, The Presence, Omni-King Zeno level (anyone Omniversal/Multiversal)
Batman is number one. He killed the ultimate evil and the entire justice league!
So are you saying that batman is tougher than the one above all, the god?
HaHaHaHa. You guys are so funny. Hercules could defeat Batman in one punch.

He is the Omnipotent being of the whole setting.
He's an omnipotent God, he can just think of something then it will happen

Not the strongest compared to TOAA, Zeno etc but being near the same level as Goku he definitely deserves to be high up. Especially with his new Ultra Ego transformation in the manga which is his equivalent form to Ultra Instinct, if there were a list of Strongest Characters in all of Fiction whether Goku was 1st place or 100th place no matter what Vegeta still deserves to be directly behind him, no Superman behind Goku or Saitama behind Goku, specifically Vegeta because if Goku can beat Superman (which I don't think he can) then Vegeta can too
44? The sole character to go pound for pound on pat with Goku and even surpass him up until the final tournament arc is 44? Bullcrap list.
Vegeta will always be strong enought to be a bit weaker than the strongest enemy. He also will always be there to make Goku look good.
If he is on equal footing with that clown, Kakarot, how can he be all the way down here at 9?! This is an insult for the Prince of all Saiyans!

In my opinion Azathoth can easily go toe to toe with such characters as One Above All and Kami Tenchi. All of existence is stated to be a part of it's dream and it will vanish when Azathoth awakens. It's mind was able to create countless reality-warping and beyond-dimensional entities with knowledge and power beyond human imagination. Azathoth is omnipresent, omnipotent and probably omniscient. I know that people can argue about that omniscience statement but there are two facts to be considered:
1. Azathoth has created a being like Yog-Sothoth who is truly omniscient.
2. The entire "Blind Idiot God" thing could be rather connected to the fact that Azathoth isn't aware of it's own creation than to it being simply dumb.
It is also impossible to hurt or kill Azathoth in any way because such concepts/laws as life, death and destruction are just parts of his dream which means Azathoth is beyond all of them. You should also remember that it can do so much by simply ...more
He created the universe and will destroy the universe. Also Azathoth has no hatred, love, or any other feelings towards other creatures because he does not notice their existence he is called the idiot god for that reason. The universe that Azathoth lives in houses beings like Cthulhu and he can beat them in a fight.
All characters on the list should be able to destroy things quickly without much resistance. They must be at least able to destroy the Universe.
Azathoth is everything that is, and that will ever be. He can make himself more powerful, just by a thought. Concepts like time & space, all the way to the concept of existence itself, are just a subconscious thought for azathoth. He cannot be killed, since he can delete the concept of damage and death. He is truly opnipotent, and has true unlimited power. He is everything and nothing. He is everywhere and nowhere. He is life and death. He is the blind idiot god
Azathoth is so op that we don't even know how much op he is, only that he dreams. The music produced by his court is the "Omniverse", the music.

It is specifically stated by a GOD that Zen-chan can never be defeated. It does not matter at all who has what feats, as first of all Zeno has effortlessly surpassed feats of complete omnipotents (one above all, beyonder, living tribunal, the source Kami Tenchi) and has never even been challenged and has greater potential to be a great fighter with his infinite strength even without training, and two, is stated that it is not possible to defeat him. Also, obviously zalama, a dragon god the size of a universe, is not as strong as him. Let me explain. Zamasu wished on the super dragon balls to be immortal, and that immortality granted by zalama was overridden by Zeno.
A being to whom even the GODS bow. THANOS needed the IG to destroy half of the Universe while he has already destroyed 6 universes...something nobody can even think about Boasting.
The only thing that makes the omni-king super OP is that he can use the erase ability, and ability that can kill immortal and mortal beings alike.
Capable of erasing all of the Dragon Ball Multiverse without effort. He is the Omni-King for a reason, everyone fears him.

He's literally OVER POWERED. Like, the definition of over powered. He has 4 different aliens he can choose from for any occasion. If he wants brawn and gets Grey Matter, he literally still kicks ass.
Ben 10 has Alien X which is Omnipotent being as stated multiple times throughout the show and confirmed by its writers, that's what makes Ben 10 the most powerful fictional character.
Ben Tennyson is near-undefeatable. This is because he can copy the DNA of anyone who isn't a human (ahem, Goku, TOAA, Bugs Bunny, Kirby, etc.). This means, while he could be defeated, he'd have a really good chance, and wouldn't go down easily.
Can become omnipotent and can re write the timeline of the multiverse.

Which incarnation?
If it's Earth, then he should definelty be above Saitiama. Sure Satiama easily soloed beings with godlike powers, but Godzilla Earth was able to defeat Void ghidorah, an all-mighty lovecraft like being that swallows universes and reality for food. Not to mention Void ghidorah isn't even from the same plain of our reality, and barely even exists, so I don't see Saitama touching either of these guys.
Ok in theory think Godzilla earth having a great size would have a very high advantage. Talking about hight advantages Godzilla earth supposedly will not stop growing. I think Godzilla earth out of any of the characters has an advantage if he can just stomp on them. Don't get me wrong cause I don't know how strong the other characters higher on this list are so yeah.
Godzilla! The king of monsters. If we go with any Godzilla he is very powerful, yes even marvel Godzilla, I guess. If we composite him that's just insane. He will alway be king of the monsters, even if Kong beats him and I swear if he does I have lost faith in humanity, come on now.
Undoubtably the strongest fictional character if you ask me, especially when in he's Keizer Godzilla, what is Keizer Godzilla you ask? Oh, just Final Wars Godzilla (who is already the strongest Godzilla) with INFINITE POWER, so yeah, Keizer Godzilla is the strongest fictional character, no contest, he obliterates anyone he fights in a single hit.

The most powerful wizard!
Very powerful wizard

The Silver Surfer is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, and the most powerful of the Heralds of Galactus. Imbued with the Power Cosmic by Galactus himself, he has near limitless energy absorption and manipulation abilities that manifest in a variety of ways.

Doomsday is a powerful supervillain in the DC Comics universe. He is known for his incredible strength, durability, and regeneration abilities. In fact, he is considered to be one of the strongest villains in the DC universe. His strength allows him to go toe-to-toe with even the most powerful superheroes, and he is practically unstoppable once he gets going. In addition to his brute strength, Doomsday is also incredibly durable, able to withstand almost any attack, and his regeneration abilities allow him to quickly heal from any injury.
Doomsday is without a doubt one of the most underrated characters ever. He's often overlooked although he is one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe, up there with or maybe even over Superman (no matter what version). He killed Superman and he's immortal in a way. If he gets killed by someone, he gets revived and becomes sort of immune to who or what killed him. So yea unless you are an all powerful god, a 6th dimensional imp, 12th level intellect, or Kirby, you got no chance of actually permanently defeating Doomsday.
I know he killed the man of steal why's he so low plus he looks so cool and when he dies he gets up and gets stronger he should be at least number 1 or 2 like super man got killed by this guy does anybody know that?
!
Can't die (not technically), becomes immune to what killed him. Way too low

God of Apokilips. Lord of Tyranny. Darkseid Is.
Darkseid's Omega Effect is more than enough to have him on the top ten. However, he's also very smart and is an experienced fighter in his own right. His fears are ridiculous and can match up to godlike figures like Superman and Orion (his son) who are themselves some of the strongest heroes in DC. His true form resides in Fourth World and his strength there is at his greatest, capable of overwhelming most godlike beings without much of an issue, and his true form is so malevolent, simply exiting Forth World would destroy the entire multiverse. This is why he creates avatars to interact with the universe, and even then, they are incredibly powerful in their own right.
Ok Darkseid has the omega beams, the Anti-life equation and the big gray guy that you usually see (Uxas), is actually a body that he controls. He's a multiversal being who controls different beings across different universes. Google "Darkseid true form". So how on earth is he below Batman, Shaggy (probably a joke lol), Thanos and Superman. I prefer Marvel, but Darkseid would decimate Thanos, because Darkseid WITHOUT the anti-life equation is more powerful than Thanos WITH the infinity gauntlet. Darkseid usually destroys the whole justice league, Superman included. Also, why are people like Anti-Monitor, Odin, Lucifer Morningstar so low or not even on the list, these guys could demolish Thanos and Darkseid combined.
Darkseid Has many times proven to take on the entire justice league and barely loose. HE is indeed much stronger than superman and I therefore argue him at about the same level as beerus with the anti life codex.
Ok, this guy is the real deal. His Omega Beams can obliterate anyone that's in the DC Universe, with the exception of Superman, Doomsday, and Galactus. Even though he might look like a rock in a suit, he defeated many powerful people, including The Time Trapper. This guy also has A WHOLE ENTIRE PLANET AT HIS CONTROL. That's basically fighting about 10 Billion people plus an extremely overpowered man, or woman. I don't know what this thing's gender is, but boy, is he a big threat. (Information from Wikipedia)

Thor is incredibly powerful and he was the reason the Avengers weren't completely destroyed on Wakanda and got close to defeating Thanos but at that point Thanos was already way too powerful. And to wield Stormbreaker you have to be extremely powerful, any normal person to wield it would disintegrate. He also escaped from Surtur and defeated him in combat.
In Infinity War it shows he could destroy Thanos single handedly when Thanos had all the infinity stones!
He's literally a god. No way he's below Batman
He is stronger than superman.

How is he not higher?!?! He literally has the power to do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't take his mask off, which only he can take off. He can literally just say no to death.
Come on, people! The mask is literally the most powerful thing on the list!
Has the toon force ability, and he can create almost anything.
