10 Most Powerful Cosmic Entities In DC Comics

The Monitors are among the most powerful beings in the entire DC multiverse, and are burdened with a responsibility becoming of their power - they're the guardians of the entire multiverse itself.

Think about it. Some fictional gods only have to worry about one universe at a time, let alone the 52 that exist across the DCU. It's an incredible burden to take on, and while most Monitors could outrank DC's entire roster in terms of power levels alone, there is one that could be considered the cream of the crop - Nix Uotan.

Uotan featured heavily in Final Crisis as one of the most storied Monitors around, but was unfortunately stripped of his powers by his colleagues. This didn't stop Nix from finding out a way to defeat Darkseid and the vampiric Dark Monitor Dax Novu though, as he eventually sacrificed all Monitors to ensure the survival of the multiverse.

Nix would again return post-Final Crisis in Multiversity, which formed a part of DC's New 52 continuity. In this reality, Nix is the last of the Monitors and a being known as the Superjudge, which means he watches over DC's entire multiverse on his own. Still, it's not as if he isn't equipped for the task at hand, as Nix possesses a near ludicrous array of powers, most of which are apparently beyond our comprehension anyway.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
