For 10 glorious years, superheroes ruled network television and it all had to do with The CW's legendary Arrowverse. The end of the network's sole superhero show Smallville led to a whole superhero renaissance as it greenlit Arrow the next year, which eventually led to the creation of spin-off shows The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Batwoman, and Black Lightning.

It was a remarkable time for television, and through it all we met many compelling heroes; most of whom were awesome adaptations of some of DC Comics' greatest characters. That goes especially for the primary heroes of each of the shows, as the likes of the Emerald Archer, the Scarlet Speedster, the Girl of Steel, the Scarlet Knight, and the Legends all provided us with countless hours of entertainment, epic battles, and awesome storytelling.

But which of the Arrowverse's heroes are the strongest? Who would be the last one standing if we had an Injustice situation where everyone was fighting everyone? Who would emerge victorious?

With that in mind, let's look back at each of the Arrowverse's main heroes and rank them from weakest to strongest.

Note: For the purposes of this list, we're ranking the main Arrowverse heroes based on their strength. Arrowverse-adjacent shows Superman and Lois, and DC's Stargirl aren't included as they are set on different Earths.
