DC publishing continues its successful comic book business, which started back in 1934. By the way, few people know, but earlier this popular company was registered under a completely different name - National Allied Publications. How did we get what we have now? The fact is that initially DC was engaged in the release of "Detective Comics", which were dedicated to the adventures of Batman. The Batman: Detective Comics series quickly gained immense popularity, and the publication, in turn, hastened to change its official name to an abbreviation for such a successful project. Now DC continues to release cult titles and delight its loyal fans.

But the fans themselves are still worried about one very important question: who is the most powerful character in the DC Comics universe? After all, among all the existing superheroes, each of which is strong in its own way, there must be someone who simply has no equal. ToUnfortunately, or maybe vice versa, a definite answer to this question has not yet been found. We offer a look at the list of DC superheroes who can easily compete for the title of the best of the best. These are the heroes most often remembered when it comes to who is actually the most powerful character in DC.

Superman

Starting the list of DC's most powerful characters with Superman seems like a pretty logical thing to do. Many fans of comics and superhero movies call Superman the best of the best. It is not surprising. Superman is almost the most famous hero of the DC Universe (only Batman can compete with him for this title), whose strength and power could stand the test of time. Does this prove that the alien from Kryptonite is the most powerful hero? One of the best DC characters - yes, the strongest - not really. The fact is that Superman also has his weaknesses, and for every weakness there is always an anti-hero. In any case, the alien from Kryptonite has something to demonstrate: super strength, super speed, super vision, super endurance and much more "super".

Martian Manhunter

The real name of the hero is John Jonzz. The most influential member of the LS (Justice League), who has become a true ally of the Earth and all the people living on it. The Martian Manhunter has many different powers and skills, among which levitation, invisibility, telepathy, and the ability to change the density and physical shape of his body can be especially noted. And it's stillNot everyone. As one of the strongest characters in DC, Jonzz is a formidable opponent for any opponent.

Martian Manhunter's only known weakness is fire. Near a source of open fire, Jonzz begins to lose his stamina and becomes vulnerable.

Doctor Manhattan

The next hero on our list has not only superhuman strength, but also superhuman intelligence. Doctor Manhattan is a member of the Guardians, and not just a member, but the most powerful. Previously, he was a simple man, a doctor named Jonathan Osterman, who worked at a research center. Everything changed the moment Osterman accidentally ended up in a test capsule, where his body was subjected to disintegration into subatomic particles. After that, Doctor Manhattan left the capsule.

The character received many different abilities, thanks to which he learned to control matter at the quantum level, levitate, teleport, use telekinesis and even look into the future. He is practically invulnerable and so strong that he can easily destroy the whole world.

Batman

Batman comics reveal him as a hero with no superpowers (at all). Regardless, the Man-Bat has always been regarded as one of DC's most powerful and influential characters. What is his secret? In addition to various high-tech "toys", excellent physical fitness and possessionmultiple martial arts, Bruce Wayne is an excellent detective. His highly developed intellect surpasses that of almost all superheroes.

Few people can really resist him in the "battle of wits" (let alone ordinary people). In addition, it was Bats who founded the Justice League and stood at the head of its administration.

Well, for those who still doubt the power of Batman (and have not read comics), here is one interesting fact - once he was able to defeat Superman himself. Sounds impressive, doesn't it?

Flash

Many people mistakenly assume that this superhero's only ability is his speed. However, this is not the case. Being the fastest person on Earth, Flash uses his speed not only during movement, but also during other activities: thinking, reading, performing any actions and gaining new knowledge. There are no physical obstacles for him, whether it be walls, large solid objects or other obstacles. He can also teleport himself into the past and change the course of events, which is an impressive ability in itself.

By the way, in fact, several superheroes have been in the Flash costume. Student Jay Garreck was the first, and scientist Barry Allen was the most popular.

Wonder Woman

It's time to dilute our ranking with one of DC Comics' strongest female characters. Princess Diana, an Amazon born on Themyscira, exists in the worldcomics for a very long time. Her strength is so great that she can shatter Iron Man's suit without too much trouble. On top of that, Wonder Woman has at her disposal several magical artifacts that were created by the god Hephaestus himself:

• Lasso of Truth - with its help, Diana can control the mental state of the prisoner and receive from him any information she needs. Lasso can also be used as an additional defense against enemy attacks;
• The indestructible bracelets are Wonder Woman's trusty shield, able to deflect any blow.
• Tiara - used by the heroine as a powerful throwing weapon. Almost no matter can withstand the power of Tiara, including the skin of Superman himself.

Green Lantern

The Green Lantern from DC Comics may not have been very lucky with the film adaptation, but it is on the pages of the comic that his image truly shines. The character's real name is Hal Jordan, and he was once one of Earth's best test pilots. After receiving the incredible power of the Green Lantern ring, Hal turned into a real superhero. And Jordan is one of the main founders of the same Justice League, along with Batman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman and other famous heroes.

Aquaman

Well, what is the list of the most powerful superheroes without Aquaman - the DC character, the ruler of Atlantis and all the oceans on planet Earth! Due to the fact that Aquaman is almost always incompany of heroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman, his abilities are often not taken seriously by fans of this universe. Is it fair? Of course not, because this hero is actually one of the most powerful DC characters. In addition to being superbly developed physically, trained in several types of martial arts, able to breathe underwater and lift objects weighing more than 100 tons, Aquaman wields a special trident that releases lightning, and has at his disposal an impenetrable suit that makes him invulnerable. He is also one of the strongest telepaths, which also makes him very different from other superheroes.

Doomsday

We are all well aware that not always the best characters from the DC Comics universe fight on the side of good. Speaking of antagonists, Doomsday is well known among Superman fans - one of the main enemies of the superman. However, just being an opponent of the Man of Steel is not enough to make it to the list of the best of the best. So why are we talking about him? The fact is that once Doomsday managed to kill Superman - the event that took place was reflected in the rather popular comic book The Death of Superman. Cool, isn't it?

Doomsday was born on Krypton, just like Superman. His "parent" was the mysterious Dr. Bertron, obsessed with the idea of creating a real pinnacle of evolution. In the course of his ruthless genetic experiments, Doomsday appeared, which contained not only amazing strength, but also a fierce hatred ofto all living things. In addition to physical strength, the hero received regenerative abilities, as well as the ability to instantly adapt. The latter can be explained as follows: when Doomsday gets hit, certain changes begin to occur in his body, during which invulnerability appears. In other words, Doomsday is not afraid of the same wound twice - it will simply cease to cause any effect.

Brainiac

And our today's list of the strongest DC characters is completed by another villain and opponent of Superman. It seems as if the superman simply cannot help but make powerful enemies. The main strength of Brainiac (the real name of the hero is Vril Dox) lies in his mind. Due to his superior intellect, he can easily master complex sciences (eg mechanics, engineering, physics, etc.) that help him create unusual powerful devices. It was thanks to this hero that items such as a belt with a protective force field and a beam that can reduce the size of entire cities appeared. Also, Brainiac is very hard to kill as he keeps respawning over and over again.
