DC has a lot of heroes, villains, psychics, and henchmen, not to mention gods and goddesses that it would take a few encyclopedias to cover. But in the last decade alone, DC has debuted several characters powerful enough to shake reality and stand with the biggest heavyweights of the DC Universe.
Every comic company has their staples, and DC wouldn’t be DC if it had Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, among others. But the legacy lives on through strong new faces in DC’s roster, and the The most powerful new DC characters introduced in the last decade.

Swamp Thing’s new host shows potential
IIt is a rite of passage for a costume to pass through many hands after a tragic death. But for a long time, Swamp Thing was just Alec Holland. That is, until Louis Kamei showed up to show fans just how powerful Swamp Thing can be, with his innate connection to the green making him a beacon of creation and flora manipulation.
As an avatar of the green, Levi is practically immortal, and can switch between his human form and his swamp form. The powers of the new Swamp Thing are still being discovered and mastered, but he is poised to become even more powerful than the original Swamp Thing. After all, HE has complete control over all plant life in the universe, making him less of an avatar of the green and more of a complete plant god reborn as a human.

Damage gives Doomsday a run for its money
In the wake of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo Dark Nightsl Metal Happening and in the recent bloom of DC’s New Age of Heroes, Damage debuted as DC’s long-awaited answer to the Hulk. There is a long list of borrowings that DC and Marvel have done from each other, but with Damage being a soldier whose entire physiology has been changed due to an experimental serum, the cast is a little too close to be called a coincidence.
Damage is practically invulnerable, and was even able to drop Superman with a punch. The Doomsday-like extent of his strength is yet to be explored as his title is soon cancelledLeaving fans to wonder how strong the damage was.

Sideways is essential to DC’s multiverse
There’s no question that Sideways is a Spider-Man looking hero, albeit with a very different power. With the ability to teleport between dimensions, it didn’t take long for this new hero to be vitally important to DC, considering how many dimension-clashing crises DC seems to have these days. It’s not just jumping either, as he can manipulate black holes and has superhuman strength, proving he’s not just DC’s doorman.
Sideways proved crucial for the Justice League in Dark crisisAnd woefully under-appreciated at the same time. Sideways’ powers mean he is destined to return in DC’s future when travel is needed from one event to another. Hopefully, he will be able to take on a bigger role along the way.

But His daughter’s crush is just as mean, reckless and dangerous as her fatherleading to many tumbles and near-fatal collisions. But the “Rashi man” and his daughter could be compared in their father/daughter Crush / Lobo miniseries, which made Crush even more of a force than before.
Like any hero with a healing factor, Crush is almost impossible to kill, as she will always return to her top form just before death. Although she is only half-Tsarnian, Crush follows in the footsteps of other legacy heroes who surpass their parents through sheer force of will.

Dreamer is DC’s best hope to keep the future alive
Precognition is a superpower of unique potency, and Dreamer has it in spades. Dreamers can not only see visions of the future in their dreams, but She can access dreams in a way that allows you to blast dream energy in explosive bursts, and create constructs from them. She is not only a mystic, but a brilliant fighter in top form.
Superman’s friend saved him and his friends from death several times, and quickly moved from a side character to an essential part of DC lore. She has a blooming part in the Absolute power Event when Amanda Waller blackmailed her into submission against her allies. With the power of divination, Dreamer is practically too powerful, but her precognition did not save her from her own supposed sacrifice.

Brainiac Queen dominates the DC Universe
It’s not often that villains team up across the entire DC Universe, but Brainiac Queen is up to the challenge. A relatively new character with a twist on the lore of one of Superman’s oldest villains, she not only decimates an entire planet and his race, she defeats Superman and Ashes in the events of Absolute Power. Villains aren’t all punching and superpowers, and Brainiac Queen proves that careful planning can take down an empire.

City Boy has the most unique power in comics
One of the most interesting powers to come out of recent comics, City Boy’s powers are all in the name: The ability To communicate with buildings and see the past and the future in them. City Boy is an urban protagonist for a modern era who is strong enough to be the next Superman. While Superman can hear the heartbeats of every living being on Earth, City Boy goes further and is powered by the full consciousness of his city.
Darkseid even tried to recruit City Boy, as every hero and villain of DC began to realize that he was not just a child and could hold the whole world in his hand – or the city, at least. Harkening back to Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol run, which featured a sentient city as a main character, City Boy is an urban hero who speaks for his entire city as it speaks through him.

Failsafe is Batman, if his justice has no limits
It’s not DC unless there’s a version of Batman present. Batman is known for his many contingency plans, but more often than not, they come to fruition by accident, tearing apart the Justice League. One of the newest contingency plans was a full character called failsafe – only, He was meant to be the first contingency plan for Batman. Should Batman ever break his no-kill rule, Failsafe was there to take Batman down and stop his killing spree. Unfortunately, Batman has to be there to uphold Failsafe’s version of justice.
Failsafe merged with Batman’s alternate personality, Zur-En-Arrh, and became a sort of Gotham dictator who thought of himself as the absolute pinnacle of what Batman is supposed to be: dark justice and no mercy. Failsafe was the thing Batman was trying to avoid. He is such a powerful character that his merciless victory made the Justice League look absolutely pathetic, not to mention his hand in the event of absolute power.

The upside down man is DC’s nightmare being
The character is more than just a villain, an ultra-powerful Lovecraftian horror. One of a kind, the Upside-Down Man is a terrifying being of pure horror who represents all the dark and twisted possibilities of magic in the DC Universe. Made of pure magic, there’s practically nothing the upside-down man can’t do, such as molecular reconstruction, cosmic awareness, and interdimensional travel.
Heroes with a major affinity for magic, such as Zatanna, Dr. Fate, and Constantine, are practically useless in a fight against this interdimensional, immortal being whose entire existence is owed to magic – not only that but the dark side of magic, As a kind of complementary equation. If there is beauty in the DC Universe, it must be the direct and opposite reaction of pure horror, and the upside-down man is the horror.

The Imps of the Fifth Dimension assemble an impressive Justice League
More powerful than any roster the Justice League has conjured yet, the smattering of fifth-dimensional Imps is the most powerful the Justice League has ever been. Constantly seen as tricksters with unbelievable powers to warp reality, the likes of Bat-Mite, Not-Mite and Mr. McXitplc are undoubtedly practical gods of DC, if they ever care to act like it. Godhood never really suited them or seemed like fun.
Instead, they are fourth-wall breaking imps who like instead to prank heroes and mess with the universe when it suits their own plan. They are more than super-strong fans sometimes dipping into comics to change continuity to better help their taste. And when they came together to fight Doom-Might, They showed a version of the Justice League at its peak, breaking fourth-walls and bending reality to what they wanted it to be.

Jon Kent is even more powerful than Superman
Even if Superman is no match, Jon Kent as Superman’s son can only go above and beyond by showing he can more than take on his father’s mantle. With all the same powers of the Man of Steel and all the same heart, Jon Kent was a major force in keeping the legacy of Superman alive and keeping the symbol of hope in the sky when his father was not strong enough to continue. .
But it doesn’t stop there, because even Superman himself said that Jon Kent can only surpass Superman in strength and skill. He even has a few powers that Superman doesn’t, like special heat vision unique to Jon. He even sun-dipped once in a show of power that even Superman wouldn’t do. If this is the future of DC, comics are in good hands with this new Superman, Jon Kent.

Erebos is the DC’s god of absolute darkness
Erebos is the darkness at the end of everything. There are many gods that the Justice League pits against, but this god of darkness and oblivion trumps everything that the heroes of DC know. Even Darkseid and his anti-life equation advance before the being that is the anti-life given physical form. Named after the primordial Greek god of the same name, Erebos represents not only what awaits after death but what came before life.
in DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #8 By Tom Taylor, Trevor Hairsin, Lucas Meyer, Andy Lanning and Rain Beredo, The anti-life equation that creates zombies of the DC Universe is shown not to be a mathematical equation, but a being of pure darkness and utter cosmic horror. The threat he posed to the entire universe was so great that Darkseid joined the Justice League to fight him.

When the Batman who laughs together with you in the events of hell come By James Tynion, Steve Epting, Nick Filardi and Travis Lanham, the dark gods spelled absolute doom for DC.

And there will be many more, even after Perpetua, as DC continues to fill its roster of powerful heroes never before seen in comics.
