    So who's the most powerful spell-user across all universes?

    So I've been wondering, who would you rank as the most powerful spell caster across all fantasy universes? I thought it'd probably be hard to compare as each caster has different magics, and different foes to vanquish, but still, what would be your choice? My list consists of Raistlin Majere, Gandalf, Rand al'Thor , Belgarath the Sorcerer or Medivh.
    Let's not consider Gods, Titans, or anything of the sorts here, just humans (or well, humanoids if u can think of any).

    My ranking would be:
    1. Raistlin. I mean, the dude very nearly killed a god, and would have won too had he not been distracted. He also created life, of sorts.
    2. Medivh.
    3. Belgarath.
    4. Rand.
    5. Gandalf.

    What do you think? Have I left any powerful spell-slinger out?

    Constantine, Dresden, and Strange, as mentioned before, are all extremely powerful sorcerers, more powerful than the ones listed in the OP.

    I'd have difficulty seeing even Raistlin taking on Icarium. Anomander Rake, maybe.

    I'd definitely say Dr.Strange, but didn't he lose at some point or something? I swore Doctor Doom once claimed he could easily take that title from him if he wanted to.

    For reference about how strong Dr.Strange is, he was the only one that was considered to be called in to stop Hulk on a rampage. And I think everyone knows how broken Hulk is in power.

    Pretty sure the only one who ever had the upper hand was Dormammu, who is a millions of years old other dimension demon. So yeah, safe to say Dr Strange could probably kick the piss out of Medivh and Gandalf

    Ah ok, I'm probably just remembering it wrong, although Doom is pretty strong too but all quick searches I can't confirm if he actually qualifies as a spell user or not, there was one thing that said his mom was a witch or something, I dunno, comic books get confusing. DOOMBOTS ANYWAY.


    Either way, Dr. Strange would be able to take them both on at once.

    I only know 3 on your list (I refuse to read anything by the Eddings'), but out of those I'd rank them Rand al'Thor, Gandalf, Medivh.

    I feel like Nynaeve should be on the list, too. Sword of Truth characters Richard Rahl and Nicci should be on there somewhere, too...

    Q.

    Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
    So I chose the path of the Ebon Blade, and not a day passes where i've regretted it.

    1 Q can un-make everything in the universe by raising his middle finger.

    Having all of them is possibly the purest example of "overkill".

    Don't think you can really count Gods like Q can you?

    Q aren't gods, they can die. It just takes another near-omipotent being.

    Yeah, that's what I was wondering. We're specifically counting spell users, but has it ever been stated that the Q Continuum actually use spells?
