Who is the strongest DC hero (that’s not Superman)?
By Cody Schultz
We all know Superman is often viewed as the strong DC superhero, but when you rule him out of the question who is the strongest DC hero in the mix?
If you ask any DC superhero fan who the strongest DC hero is, there is a 99% chance they’re going to tell you Superman — and that’s a fair answer.
When you look at DC’s arsenal of superheroes, there is no denying that Superman is by far the strongest hero in all of the DC Comics universe. In fact, some might argue he’s the strongest superhero period.
There honestly isn’t much Superman can’t do. He has strength and stamina that is basically unmatched. He possesses a bevy of superhero abilities including heat vision, super speed, invulnerability, superhuman agility, freeze-breath, the list honesty can go on and one.
We all know Superman is strong and isn’t to be messed with, but when you take the Man of Steel out of the equation the question remains: Who is the strongest DC superhero?
Who is the strongest DC superhero besides Superman?
Without a doubt, the most powerful DC Comics superhero when you take Superman out of the equation is Wonder Woman. Endowed with divine strength, speed, and durability, she wields the Lasso of Truth and Bracelets of Submission. As an Amazonian warrior and ambassador of peace, her combination of combat skills and mythic abilities makes her a formidable force against any threat to Earth or the universe.
As we’ve seen over the years in every medium, Wonder Woman is hands down one of DC’s most powerful heroes with her own list of strengths that stack up quite nicely alongside Superman.
Much like Superman, Wonder Woman also possesses super strength, super speed, superhuman agility, and her own laundry list of powers. Then you add in her Amazonian tools such as the Lasso of Truth and her unbreakable silver bracelets, and her strength only continues to be further magnified.
And there is also physical proof from teh comics to back things up! In the 15 times the pair have faced off in the comics, Wonder Woman has a record of 6-4-5, besting Superman six times. So not only is she the strongest DC character without Superman in the equation, but we’d argue she’s also the strongest DC superhero period.
