10 Most Powerful DC Heroes Of All Time

Often considered the “one who started it all”, Superman’s abilities have grown exponentially since his awe-inspiring debut in the late 30’s. While the original Superman was faster than a speeding bullet, and more powerful than a locomotive, the current incarnation has since eclipsed those feats.

Superman’s strength and abilities come from his unique kryptonian physiology, which allows him to draw power from Earth’s yellow sun. Doing so grants the character near invulnerability, heat vision, ice breath and a myriad of other handy powers, making Superman a literal “jack-of-all-trades”.

He has enough strength to move the entire Earth, enough speed to travel at light-speed, and enough durability to withstand the full impact of an exploding nuke. Although he is famously shown to be vulnerable to magic and kryptonite, the Man of Steel has overcome both when necessary to get the job done.

Superman has ran neck and neck with the Flash, he is equal with Wonder Woman in terms of strength, and his durability can’t be matched. He has fought gods, entities, and even evil versions of himself, always ensuring victory. He doesn’t even require food, water, sleep, or oxygen, to survive, making Superman one of the most powerful heroes of all time.
