Superheroes "“ they are everywhere in this day and age. At this point, the superhero movies are what the westerns were about 5 decades ago. Each year sees the release of at least 4 flicks, with the potential of having about 10 each year in the following period. But why?

Simply put it, the superheroes are ideals "“ what men want to be. Their stories are stories in which the good battles evil and eventually wins "“ not before the hero finds himself at crossroads. These stories aren't just about the physicality and the awesome superpowers the characters have. They are, to some extent, about the problems every day man confronts, problems taken to a whole other level.

In this list, we are going to name the most powerful superheroes from the DC comics "“ those characters who are literally gods among mortals. We are not going to include in this list physical embodiments (such as Rao, the ultimate god of Krypton and the embodiments of Krypton's star), nor anti-heroes (such as Lobo) or characters who are neither of these (such as the Presence, who is the factual creator of the DC multiverse "“ basically, God above all DC comic book Gods).

Also, we are going to stick with the most well-known versions of the superheroes "“ so even if Superman Prime can be considered the ultimate superhero, he won't be found in here.
