Top Ten Most Powerful Fictional Universes
Basically measuring how powerful the characters, technology, organizations, etc. are in a given universe.And at number one, we have the ridiculously overpowered but also ridiculously vague fictional universe known as the Cthulhu Mythos, because that's just how H.P. Lovecraft rolls! Not only are there outerversal characters - because I know lots of people are thinking, "Well, there are outerversal characters in a lot of other universes" - but they have an infinite number of outerversal characters. Honestly, just one of these beings can destroy the entire Marvel and DC multiverses, except for maybe the more powerful characters like the One Above All or the Presence.
I may be biased, considering it's one of my favorite universes, with such colorful characters like the ever-so-cheerful Nyarlathotep or the very humorous Yog-Sothoth. But pretty much anyone would tell you that this universe stands above all else as the most powerful.
The Marvel Universe contains beings like the Living Tribunal, who is nearly omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, capable of erasing realities. Then there's the Beyonder, also nearly omnipotent and omnipresent, with the ability to warp realities. However, the most powerful entity in Marvel is the One-Above-All, who is omnipotent (all-powerful and capable of anything), omnipresent (everywhere at once), and omniscient (all-knowing).
Beyond these three, Marvel includes other extremely powerful entities like Eternity, who controls space and time and can warp realities, and Franklin Richards, the Phoenix Force, Cyttorak, Mikaboshi, Magus, Galactus, the Grandmaster, Hercules, Odin, Skaar, Vulcan, Rune King Thor, World Breaker Hulk, Sentry, Silver Surfer, Thanos, Adam Warlock, and Ms. Marvel.
The One-Above-All can simply erase these beings from existence, remove their powers, and knows exactly how to defeat them because of his omniscience. While this may seem slightly biased, it's hard to argue against the fact that Marvel is often considered the most powerful fictional universe due to the One-Above-All. His ability to be immune to other powers and stand above all others solidifies Marvel as one of the strongest universes. Only the Presence in the DC Universe could potentially rival that kind of godly power.
Everyone's wrong when it comes to the Marvel Universe being stronger. Yes, they might have the Living Tribunal, which is supposed to have the final say in any matter, but that is nothing compared to the power DC has because they have Dr. Fate, who can literally do anything. He can change the fate of anything.
I know Domino and Scarlet Witch have the power to manipulate chance, but they weren't given their powers by literal gods from all of space and time. Another point to make is that DC also has the Phantom Stranger and the Presence, who are believed to be actual manifestations. They also have the Spectre, who fought Mr. Mxyzptlk, a being from the 5th dimension who can basically make anything happen with a snap of his fingers. And lastly, there's Batman, who could probably take on 75% of the Marvel Universe anyway.
Fully optimized third edition, plus using rules as written, plus a very lenient DM? Recipe for the Mighty One.
It's all 4chan's fault. Look up Pun-Pun, the most powerful character possible.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on steroids.
Dragon Ball is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It made anime popular in America and is based on the manga of the same name by Akira Toriyama. It was dubbed in English on Cartoon Networks Toonami block and still has many fans today. First of all, even if you are immortal, Goku at his full potential could punch these guys hard enough so they explode. But even if that doesn't work, Zeno cannot be beaten by anyone or anything. He could destroy all these guys in 3 seconds. If they tried to erase someone from existence by killing Goku or Zeno in the past, they wouldn't get erased. A new timeline would just open up, as stated in DBZ by Future Trunks.
So no one could beat the Omni-King Grand Zeno, which in turn means no one or anything can beat the DBZ universe.
Unimaginably powerful monsters, characters who can destroy multiverses, and a massive number of characters who can destroy planets.
Lord English is so powerful that he killed Andrew Hussie, the author of MSPA/Homestuck.
Space gods (see Q), utopian society, and weapon technology that goes further than lasers.
Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC since 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called "the Doctor", an extraterrestrial being from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS... read more Time Lords wrote the laws of physics, and the Daleks nearly destroyed the multiverse.
This contest is basically about which universe has the strongest characters. We don't want universes that get carried hard by a select few. Rain World, for example, has two extraversal characters that can nearly solo fiction, but most of the rest are barely mountain level. Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth are the only extraversal Cthulhu Mythos characters. SCP has plenty, but it's still beaten out by the Kirby universe. They have three characters that transcend real life, so it's absolutely no contest. Since that isn't an option, I've gone with SCP.
The Newcomers
40K is insanely overpowered, and the only way one faction isn't overpowered is because all the other factions are overpowered. Almost all of them, except the Tau, could destroy most things in any universe.
The strongest being in the 41st millennium is Khorne, and he can kill anything in the Cthulhu Mythos besides Azathoth. Nothing can kill Azathoth except another Azathoth.
I don't know much, but I know enough to know how immensely overpowered Warhammer 40K can be.
A mecha the size of the universe that throws galaxies like they're shurikens.
Pokemon is honestly more powerful than any other universe on this list. Arceus is a being who created all of reality. He is transcendent over all of existence. He can wipe anything from existence or change reality so that you no longer have your powers. Mewtwo can just take over your mind and make you serve him or wipe your memories and change them so that you don't know you have powers and/or don't know how to use them.
Arceus and the Creation Trio have immense powers of creation. The only reason they're not higher is that Giratina seems to be the only one with destructive power.
Ben 10 has Alien X, Atomix, Way Big, Humungousaur, etc. He alone is more powerful than most of the universes on this list. No need to elaborate further.
Alien X. There, this is the real top spot taker.
Force users are very powerful, but their civilizations are very weak overall, especially compared to Star Trek or Warhammer 40K.
Has more powerful characters than half of this list.
Tons of characters with conceptual powers. Yuyuko can manipulate death. Yukari can manipulate the boundaries between concepts. Remilia can control fate. There are many more examples.
Reimu's Fantasy Nature keeps Gensokyo the way it is, and there are spell card rules to make sure people don't die. But if those weren't there, then there's nothing stopping a powerful character from destroying everything.
A man too angry to die, punched an embodiment of death because he could.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is an anime and manga franchise originally written by Hirohiko Araki. It centers around the perilous journey of the members of the legendary Joestar bloodline. I mean, Gold Experience Requiem is untouchable, but Made in Heaven will just reset the other universes.
Bowser tanked the Galaxy Reactor exploding. Super Dimentio was going to destroy all worlds. Fawful and the Dark Star were capable of cosmic destruction. I know Mario being weak is a meme, but he's able to lift and throw castles, chain chomps, and survive briefly in lava. Plus, he has the Star Rod, which is on the same tier as the Infinity Gauntlet.
Harry Potter is cool. They have magic. The people who hate Harry Potter are dumb. He can cast a spell on you to make you fly.
