When it comes to the most powerful heroes in comics history, DC has the lion’s share. When Action Comics first hit newsstands in 1938, DC Comics showed its might with the debut of Superman, one of the most powerful characters of all time. Soon we were greeted by dozens of superheroes whose power could rival that of the Man of Steel.

Beings that could move faster than the speed of light, push whole planets out of orbit, or probe the minds of everyone on Earth all at once, were now a reality in the pages of DC Comics.

As years have gone by, it has become harder to determine which DC heroes top the list as most powerful, as new powers get invented and new skill sets are added seemingly every year. Regardless we've managed to the narrow the field down to the biggest, strongest, fastest and most versatile heroes in DC has to offer.

With that, lets take a look at the 10 Most Powerful DC Heroes Of All Time!

10. Martian Manhunter

J’onn J’onnz - the Martian Manhunter - has been described as more powerful than Superman (even by the Man of Steel himself), and has been a vital part of every team he chooses to be on. As the last green Martian, J’onnz's alien biology allows him to shape shift, giving him the ability to change his mass, shape, color and size at will.

His skills include an enhanced healing factor, plasma beam projection, flight, telekinesis, speed that rivals any speedster, not to mention enhanced strength, and durability. He is one of the strongest telepaths around, using his skills to mentally link every single member of the Justice League of America together during missions.

Manhunter’s telepathy is so strong that he once scanned every living mind on earth at once, fought back against intense psychic attacks, and was able to enter the mind of the Spectre, another immensely powerful figure in the DC universe.

J’onnz's main weakness is a crippling fear of fire. In JLA #34 J’onnz is able to overcome that fear and transform into the villainous Fernus. As Fernus, he was able to battle the Justice League single-handedly, before being stopped by Plastic Man.
