Kil'Jaden created Lich King. Sargeras granted powers to Kil'Jaden. Although when Arthas merged with Lich King his powers grew, but still aren't a match for a general of the Burning Legion not to mention to Sargeras.

He doesn't need to break their spirit and use their power if he can just kill them... or at least, kill Kil'Jaeden, as Arthas wouldn't stand a chance against Sargeras.
I think Arthas used souls of mortals both to bolster his powers and and torture those that perturbed him. I'm certain he had some manner of control over the soul-absorption... he wouldn't have to worry about "accidentally" absorbing Kil'Jaeden's soul and having his sword explode or something.
Kil'Jaeden enumerated powers to the Lich king... but he certainly wasn't able to hold command over him, as he had hoped. In addition to the merging (which Arthas later "undid,") the Lich king became vastly more powerful than he was initially after Arthas began consolidating his power in Northrend during the events of WotLK.Originally Posted by Demetrion

lich king still remains 1 of the best bosses i can remember his voice his big mouth i love it
First reply of the thread solved the thread. LK could possibly stand a chance against KJ, but I doubt it. Definitely nothing but a fly against Sargeras.

If Arthas didint got suprised by tirion AND achived his ultimate plan to sukck every soul/spirit in the world his would gain untold power. For every soul he tooked the more strength he gained. Then he would gain same status as Archimonde / Kiljaden. But seargeras woulrd still be to powerful. To give you an reflection of his strength , if chimonde would succses with draining the worldtrees/well of eternity energies then archimonde would match seargeras. BUt with the lk ability of draining energies why wouldnt he do it? Scourge is the nr 2 superior army of wow after burning legion. Old gods third beacuse lk could raise dead and burning legions army is massed from serveral worlds. SOOOOO in that point in wow lk is like the fourth in rank of the villians.
1 seargeras / full powered old gods / 2. Archimonde kiljeaden 3. Deathwing / azara (powered by the old gods) 4 LK. OMg so much to say.
Another point LK necromantc power is unmatched. HE planned to raise gorgalondor what his name was.. ( all aspect in one dragon) So in that sort of matter who knows how powerfull k could be. And i must say with all his plan and plots he was the smartest of the villians (lured burning legion to an utter deafet,and knows the potencial of the mortal heros and planned to rase them as his superior generals. SO I count LK as nr 1 villian mastermind X) Its so mutch more than strengt that make an charakter.

And i forgot he is the only one that coukld withstand BUrning legion and the old gods will. HE have an armor of the very blood of the old gods and harvest it for him self like saroninte. And he broked the (oond) between him and the burning legion (kiljaden /archimonde) and that was before and after he merged with his mortal host arthas menethil.

An event or fact that causes or helps to cause something to happen, typically something undesirable.

EH i dont know, I kind of feel like Deathwing alone at full power VS Kiljaeden alone, Deathwing has a good chance of winning. I also think that Lich king under the right circumstances could have taken deathwing. Maybe i jumped the gun about Sargeras, but The lick king could have been one bad mother f****r.
Kil'jaeden is second only to Sargeras. He's too powerful for the LK.
Sargeras is way overkill.
There was no religion bashing in this. He didn't bash any religion. People freak out now in this forum everytime someone just mentions god. It was a good example to show that it's really hard to argue whose powers are stronger when we're talking about fictional characters. Even when you say someone is all-powerful, it's not really something humans can really comprehend, because it seems to be impossible.
Exactly. In fact, the omnipotence paradox that bowchikabow presented is the best reference I've seen in the topic yet. Kudos to you, bow.
Who would win, the Justice League or Avengers? Superman or Goku? It's interesting and fun to speculate upon stuff like this. At the end of the day though, you have to factor in the fact that the writers determine who's going to win. The questions then are how much homage and continuity with the characters' past actions does the writer want to incorporate? Will he imbue one character with a magic mcguffin or device that is made specifically to give him the edge in the battle? (And to a certain extent, who does the writer like better?)
THe lich king had the potential to grow to their power but was stopped short. He'd grown much much more powerful than Kil' ever intended. and lets not forget that kil' never had anyone like us in his initial days to contend with (and he's been around a very very very long time). The lich kings power wouldve have faster than kil's would have since worlds the lich king consumes not only bolster his troops and improve them (not just through curruption but experimentation and "melding") but also bolsters his own power.
If given the oppurtunity he would have grown more powerful than kiljaeden in a fraction of the time it took kiljaeden to reach his current level.
also old gods vs sargaras is contested. Theres no retcon either way because of lack of information on part of the other old gods. While Sargaras' surpreme power is spoken heavily off, let us remember this info is based on ingame opinions and information..from either his legion or mortals. Who would be awed by his power. But he's more than likely more powerful than most old gods as he is more powerful than quite a few of the titans.
In a straight 1v1 fight he could possibly kill a "regular" one (atleast the one's we've seen though we've not fought an old god at its peak) but just like he's thee most potent combatant amongst the titans, the old gods are also individualistic in their traits and there's liable to be one suitable powerful (there are more old gods than just the Azerothian ones) enough to take him on.
Though both of their MO's (and titans and old gods in general) is that they dont ussually involve themselves in direct combat till its truly called upon or for an hour of glory...or desperation etc.
Why is Kil'jaedan a powerful match?
What makes Kil'jaedan the Deceiver so powerful that recomends him, other than his deceiving schemes?
---------- Post added 2012-12-27 at 10:26 AM ----------
Lol man. Being second in command doesnt make you powerful!
Gul'dan > Kil'jaedan
Medivh > Kil'jaedan
Lich King > Kil'jaedan
and many more.
You dont agree? then tell me what recomands him? What did he do that is so frightening?
You cant? Because he did nothing but deceive. His nickname tells all of his powers, Kil'jaedan the Deceiver.
Why are some characters so overrated.... even without the slightest fact behind them.
Lads, Kil'jaedan did absolutely nothing. He didnt conquered shit, he didnt fight noone, nothing.

If it worked like that Illidan is only good at betraying people, holding no other powers.

I mean, A DK can solo him, what makes you think he can take on Kil'jaeden/Sargeras?
There is more to power than showing one's vigor in a fight.
We didn't see the Emperor fight for a long time in the Star Wars movies (if you watch them in order of release) but would you deny his frightening stature? You're right that not all people that are second-in-command are necessarily powerful... but they got there for a reason. In baseball, getting a walk is just as good as getting a single. Why? Because it gets you on base doesn't it?
This theory can be applied to power and a character's relative in WoW. Calculation, cunning, and intellect all attribute to one's capacity for power. Kil'Jaeden was able to create the Lich King through his trickery; setting the pieces in place by deceiving Ner'zhul. Was this not successful? Would it have been more prudent for him to try and take command of Ner'zhul through brute force alone? Probably not.
He was able to control Illidan and the Lich King to a certain extent. To have someone obey your orders through trickery and deceit seems like a pretty powerful tactic to me.
He was also able to do the following: "He is credited with enslaving the Dreadlords, a feat that would have required immense cunning and awesome magic."
Kil'Jaeden might seem weak in your eyes in terms of physical prowess or what he has displayed thus far, but he's far from the pushover you make him out to be.
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
because kil'jaeden is the creator of frostmourne and the lich king and i am pretty sure he would never create something that could eventually overpower him. And sargeras is completely out of the question. Besides he is far more cunning than the lich king he was able to enslave the Dreadlords a feat that would require him to outwit them ( that alone is quite a feat as they are some of the most cunning demons ) and he also wield considerable magic judging by the fact that he as mentioned before managed to enslave them.

You are clueless. There's a reason why Archimonde and Velen acknowledged KJ as their superior in arcane mastery. There's a reason why Sargeras choosed KJ as his second in command over Archimonde. KJ is the master of all arcane magic everyone uses in their everyday life in Azeroth whether it's necromancy's magic or mage's magic.
