Here are 10 Anime Characters More Powerful Than Superheroes
Whis Whis is one anime character who comes with
a pretty remarkable resume.
Not only has Whis actually defeated Beerus, he is also the one who taught Goku and Vegeta
how to go to Super Saiyan Blue.
Whis may be an attendant to the god of destruction, Beerus, but he also has some pretty incredible
powers himself.
With the ability to fly, warp through time, telekinetically manipulate others and even
automatically react to any attacks throw his way, the martial arts teacher seems pretty
untouchable.
We think that a fun matchup for Whis could be Vision from The Avengers, but with all
of his power, we have to give the edge to the anime character.
Vados But wait, it turns out that Whis’ sister
may actually be even stronger than he is.
Vados attends and teaches martial arts to Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe
6 which acts as somewhat of a mirror to the Whis and Beerus dynamic.
But, Vados actually trained her brother Whis in martial arts, and claims that although
her brother is strong, she still has an edge of power over him.
At one point, Vados also knocked out her God of Destruction with one blow to the neck,
and has displayed the ability to destroy a whole planet a great distance away by lightly
tapping her staff.
Vados is no joke and she is exactly the type of character that could go up against the
entire Justice League and live to tell the tale.
Light Yagami Light Yagami, of Death Note, is one of the
most uniquely powerful characters on our list, as he only needs a pencil, and a piece of
paper to kill anyone he wants.
While Light may not possess the insane speed and power of some of the other anime characters,
his unique killing power, coupled with the fact that he’s an actual genius, make it
incredibly powerful and dangerous.
Some may argue that you would just need a character like The Flash or Quicksilver to
attack Light before he can get to his pen and paper, but we have to think that the anime
character is far too smart to be outwitted by speed alone.
It would be very cool to see the strange but deadly powers of Light Yagami pitted against
the more conventional powers that most superheroes bring to the table.
Vegeta Another extremely popular character, Vegeta,
is the prince of Saiyans and has achieved a lot of feats, and the debate between him
and Goku has long divided anime fans.
While it’s hard to say if he actually is stronger than Goku, he is undeniably one of
the most powerful characters in the anime universe.
Vegeta has reached the level of Gods all by himself, so we know he has natural abilities
and the determination to better himself.
When Vegeta was starting his training with Whis, he was actually seen to be lifting twice
as much weight as Goku, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he is stronger overall.
Goku aside, Vegeta is undoubtedly one of the strongest characters and fighters the anime
universe has ever seen and we think he would be very difficult for most superheroes to
deal with.
Naruto Naruto Uzumaki is a ninja and the main protagonist
of the beloved Naruto manga and anime and while his personality may seem somewhat immature,
his powers are no laughing matter.
His chakra is extremely high and which gives him powers of great longevity, stamina and
healing power in battle.
He is also adept at using his trademark Shadow Clone Technique, which allows him to produce
physical clones of himself to fight beside him in battle.
It would be a pretty amazing sight to see Naruto and his clones take on an entire army
of Iron Man suits, but we have to give the edge to the anime character as his healing
powers and his mastery of Chakra let him tap into some pretty incredible levels of strength.
Lucy Lucy possesses an insane amount of power,
as she is a Diclonius with the ability to produce and control vectors, which are invisible
telekinetic arms that can cut through several types of matter with perfect ease.
Lucy’s killing prowess works in tandem with her willingness to murder anyone who rubs
her the wrong way, or if she needs something and doesn’t feel like asking politely.
Lucy’s powers aren’t stagnant either, as they continue to grow stronger and her
vectors become even more powerful.
We’d love to see Lucy take on another slashing anti-hero in Deadpool or maybe even team up
with the mercenary for a killing spree like no other!
Saitama Just like Superman, Saitama’s writers disrespected
all rules of balance when they created him as they gave him the power to destroy literally
anyone with one single punch.
Granted, a lot of the characters on this list could destroy Saitama from a distance, but
if the One Punch Man got close enough to anyone, they are toast.
To make him seem even more overpowered, it’s been stated in the show that Saitama has a
ton of unused potential as well that he never gets to show as all of his fights end after
a single punch.
While Saitama may struggle against the more mystically powerful anime characters we would
love to see him go up against The Hulk or any other superhero who relies mostly on their
super strength.
Lain This one may be a little bit shocking as Lain
is actually a 14-year-old girl.
However, Lain is basically God and she can do pretty much anything she wants.
She is omniscient and omnipresent and has limitless strength and durability, since she
can bend reality in any way she chooses.
Essentially, Lain can basically do anything that she can think of and since her omniscience
means that she knows everything in the universe, the possibilities are endless.
The overpowered god that is Superman may make for a good match up for Lain and although
the anime character doesn’t have a kryptonite crutch of her own, the one knock against her
could be the fact that she doesn’t actually have much experience using the full capabilities
of her powers.
That being said, if she can harness her powers, no superhero really stands a chance.
Zen-Oh Zen-Oh is likely the most powerful character
that the anime universe has ever seen.
It’s not even really a close race and the only character that comes close to him is
Lain, but her powers are limited to one universe while Zen-Oh’s transcend multiverses.
Don’t judge Zen-Oh by his measly child like appearance, looks can be deceiving as this
character is so powerful that no one even knows what the limits of his powers actually
are.
He can wipe out absolutely anything in the blink of an eye, and once destroyed six entire
universes just because he was in a bad mood.
Zen-Oh doesn’t really fight but we have to think that if he did and he made use of
his full range of powers, there’s no superhero or superhero team that can even dream to stand
up to this infinitely powerful anime god.
Goku Not only is Goku one of the most iconic anime
characters of all time, he is also one of the strongest that the universe has ever seen.
Goku has destroyed a variety of foes in the anime world and even some planets along the
way.
His Super Saiyan abilities, especially Super Saiyan Blue, render the anime hero nearly
indestructible.
Goku has been known to surpass his own limits and we have to think that if he were pitted
against pretty much any superhero, whether Marvel, DC or otherwise, he would probably
do all right.
There is a reason that Goku is one of the most popular anime characters of all time
and that’s because he truly is kick ass.
His popularity also may be his greatest power as it makes him pretty hard to kill off without
upsetting fans around the world.
So there you have it, there is our list of 10 Anime Characters More Powerful than superheroes!
