While there has always been debate within the DC Comics fandom over whichJustice Leaguemember is the all - prison term most potent , there is only one who stands above the balance to fulfil that void , and he is the last person fans would expect .

The Justice League is an ever - changing squad of DC ’s greatest heroes , but some of the main coremembers include Superman , Wonder Woman , the Flash , Batman , Green Lantern , Aquaman , Cyborg , Hawkman , and Doctor Fate . With that short leaning alone , it is unmanageable to name the one who is the most herculean among them , though the ecumenical consensus within the fandom is that it usually arrive down to Superman or Doctor Fate , as their powers more often go above and beyond what the other Justice League heroes can do . However , neither of them can call themselves the most muscular because of one particular storyline that bring one of the most powerful entities in the DC Universe onto the Justice League .

In the seriesJustice League Odysseyby Joshua Williamson and Stjepan Sejic , immensely muscular older gods are threatening life within the mysterious Ghost Sector . A new Justice League team jumps into activity ; one that include someone who had , for the long fourth dimension , been the squad ’s all - time bad baddie . This new incarnation of the Justice League include Cyborg , Starfire , Jessica Cruz ’s Green Lantern , Azrael , and … Darkseid .

Darkseid is the despotic ruler of Apokolips who is considered one of the most powerful characters in DC Comics history because of his New God Physiology . Darkseid is a multiversal entity of pure evilwho was fragmented into lesser forms that exist in every imaginable world , and even those forms are stronger than almost anyone he ’s ever faced . He is so powerful that it would take less time to list the powers he does n’t have , though his strongest and most used abilities are his Omega Beams , which stem from his cosmic Omega Effect power , dimensional travel , and enhanced intellect . Darkseid is so muscular that his destruction broke realism , turning the League into obscure graven image until he was quickly resurrected , and he has since been bring out to be theliving clenched fist of DC ’s ultimate baddie , the Great Darkness .

Due to his cellular inclusion on the Justice League duringJustice League Odyssey , Darkseid is technically the most powerful member to serve on the squad . In a world where magic and prison term locomotion exist - and in which cosmic being normally put together Justice League teams from across time to solve individual problems , as inGenerations Shattered- this position has system of weights . Should any spell be contrive to summon the League ’s most herculean phallus , the heroes will in all likelihood be dismayed tofind Darkseid among their number , especially nowInfinite Frontierhas returned all past stories to persistence in one form or another .

Not only isDarkseid basically all - powerful , but his victories also speak for themselves when it arrive to his power storey . Darkseid has been able to kill multiple Kryptonians at once , make him way stronger than Superman , and his multiversally cosmic nature easily makes him Doctor Fate ’s better . Since he ’s strong than the two strongest Justice League members , and since he served as a member , Darkseid is officially the strongest fellow member of theJustice League , as much as that would outrage any given extremity of the team .
