Would you agree that Superman is ranked 66th in the terms of "power" in the DC Universe?

I read comics and have never heard of most of the characters above superman except swamp thing, phantom stranger, spectre, trigon, and darkseid. so I honestly wouldn't know. Also, if trigon is so high, where is raven?

Superman is one of the most powerful mainstream comic book characters. There's always people (or rather entities) that outrank him. Same goes for other "OP" characters such as Thor and Hulk. That's just the way the stories go. An actual all-powerful protagonist with no weaknesses would be incredibly boring. Some writers can make it work, but it's generally more interesting when the characters have vulnerabilities.

Flash is being severely downplayed on this list and so is Aquaman. Especially when you consider that starting at 102 you have nothing but normal humans with some fancy martial arts and weapons training.

Also, lol at Robin (all of them?) being more powerful than other Batfamily heroes with years more experience and also trained under Batman's guidance.

You either retire the costume or die as a Robin, it really makes no damn sense.

Flash is pretty damn broken, being the source of the Speed Force and all, but even he can't beat Clark one on one. Clark has the almost limitless strength, reflexes and other assorted powers to take down Barry.

Aquaman has no place above Clark. Arthur is formidable, but only about to the level of Diana. He's still plenty mortal and can't come anywhere close to matching Clark's abilities.

100% agree. Ras al ghoul should be more powerful than any of the robins. Also, who knew the wizard would be more powerful than captain marvel or black Adam.

The Wizard is the one who gives them their strength, it stands to reason he'd be more powerful than them. He was granted 'Honorary New God' status back in the '90's/early 00's I think.

Do you seriously know anything about the Flash at all. His speed just shits on Superman. There is no way Superman can beat him when Flash can infinite mass punch him before he can even react. Or better yet just steal all of Supermans speed and make him a living statue. Please reads more about the Flash before you put statements like that. And if Barry can beat him badly, imagine what Wally would do to him. What are you going to say next, that Zoom can't beat Superman?

That list is a joke, if it's meant to be in order. I mean there is no way Larfleeze is that bloody high.

Also none of it matters, because half those characters don't exist anymore, or don't have those levels of power because the whole DC Universe was patched... well... more of a title update really...

Well, when he was first introduced in Agent Orange, he killed the last remaining Controllers in space. The Controllers are pretty much the Guardians who deal with shit differently, they had their own corps and everything. Plus, being the sole member of the Orange Lantern corps and having Ophidian inside him makes him at the same level as probably Superboy Prime.

TBH I didn't pay it much mind as Eclipso & Lucifer were ranked above the Endless, also without qualifiers as to what constitutes being "more powerful", which incarnations of the character they are referring to etc. it's all just a big fustercluck.
