I'd say the last boss of Radiant Silvergun is a pretty powerful dude...

I really don't see Batman as standing up to a living god in Kratos or a million Zerg with Kerrigan. Hell, Pikachu could probably hit him with a lightning bolt and kill him

Batman could take out Kerrigan and her Zerg forces by using the Justice League and leading them to beat her with his superior tactical mind

Kratos is a dumb meathead, Batman could figure out a way to kill him in five minutes. Hell, he found ways to stop Darkseid and Darkseid could rip Kratos a new one

No. Powerful is measurable thing. How much can a character bench-press. How much energy does a character possess. What superpowers do they have.

Batman is very weak when you speak of these things, I.E. not powerful. That doesn't mean he can't beat more powerful characters with careful planning, like has been shown, though. (Although he never did beat the JLA. Ra's Al Ghul defeated the JLA using Batman's files and info on them.)

None of those things you mentioned are real power. You're talking about strength, metahuman abilities etc. Power is how much control you have over others. I can probably bench more than Obama, but which one of us has more power? It ain't me.

So wait, Ra's beats the League using Batman's plans for taking them all done and that doesn't count as him beating the league? That's like me plagiarizing someone's work and you saying that I'm the true author.

What you're describing is influence. And yes, power is often used in place of the word influence when speaking of politics. But come on now. We both know that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about the power-levels of fictional characters. Even DC Comics agrees with what I'm saying. I could go and pull out my comic cards out of storage and show you their official power-level stats, but that seems a bit much here.

And no, that's not "Batman" beating the JLA, that's Ra's Al Ghul beating the JLA with stolen profiles and an army of assassins. I could have the playbook of the 49ers, but me and my buddies still are never going to be able to beat another NFL team if we don't have the ability or skill to pull it off. I'm not saying it wouldn't be possible for Batman to do it though. Given enough planning and prep time, I could see Batman pulling that off. He almost, kind of, sort of did when he took out the White Martians in the first storyarc of the relaunched JLA from 1996 (Batman in one of his finest moments, definitely go read it if you haven't yet, the name of the storyline was "JLA: New World Order").

Nihilanth


and the Devil himself.

Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate.

This dude basically can't die. He's taken gunshots to the head and swords through the chest multiple times throughout his life. He's powerful enough to control demonic weaponry, and he can fly when in Devil Trigger form.

Plus he's the only character on this list so far that has a suitable amount of swagger to go with all that power.
