Lean Mean Fighting Machine 17
The cybernetic creation of Dr. Gero was once bent on causing as much destruction as he could just for fun.

13) Frieza
Image
Go for the Gold
The Galactic tyrant who destroyed the Saiyan home planet was born with an immense power even for his race. He ruled the stars with an iron fist before being brought down by Goku, and later Trunks. Not even death could stop him however, as he returned and with just 4 months of training, he was able to walk on even footing with Goku who had already ascended past Super Saiyan God. It was this showing that would inspire Goku to bring him back again for the Tournament of Power, where he proved to be an invaluable asset.

12) Zamasu
Image
Getting Bodied
The Supreme Kai candidate Zamasu had a lot going for him, except one thing held him back, his pure unrelenting hatred for mortals. Zamasu would go on to take over the body of Goku becoming Goku Black. He would fuse together with his counterpart from another timeline becoming Fused Zamasu. With such power at his disposal, Zamasu was truly unstoppable and took every bit of Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks’s effort to bring him down. Even that wasn’t enough, as Zamasu endures. Only the mighty Grand Zeno stepping in could end his reign for good, leaving the once unsurpassable wall gone without a trace.

11) Vegeta
Image
Show off your Pride
The prince of all Saiyans started from not so humble beginnings, spending much of his early days plotting to overthrow Frieza. Once he invaded the earth and met Goku, he became obsessed with surpassing him to become the most powerful Saiyan warrior, birthing a life long rivalry that would be one of anime's most iconic. Vegeta would go through any lengths to surpass Goku, attaining extreme power trying. As long as blood flows through his veins, Vegeta will get stronger and stronger.

10) Kefla
Image
Letting Sparks Fly
The newest additions to the Universe 6 team, Kale and Caulifa proved to be their most valuable members. Kale possessed a Super Saiyan transformation with a disastrous power level and form resembling that of the legendary Broly, so strong even she couldn't control. Caulifa on the other hand was known for her fighting genius and immense potential. When the two combined their powers together through the Potara earrings, they became Kefla, one of the most powerful fighters in the ring.

Hammer of Justice
Leader of the Universe 11 Pride Troopers, candidate for God of Destruction, and above all else, a staunch defender of justice.

Fearing the greatest loss, he decides to sacrifice his own values of justice and ascend to the position of a destroyer, claiming all the power that comes with it.

8) Goku
Image
Even Further Beyond
The main man himself. Starting as just a boy on earth unaware of his Saiyan heritage, Goku spent every day working to get stronger and stronger, whether it be for the sheer excitement of an upcoming battle or to stop a villain from hurting his friends, Goku never stopped finding new levels of power. This culminated in the Tournament of Power, where he attained the legendary Ultra Instinct form, something even the Gods of Destruction have trouble with. Goku wants to be the best and will train until he gets there, and then train some more.

7) Broly
Image
His Power is Maximum
The Legendary Super Saiyan. Born with an already unfathomable amount of strength, he was outcast from his planet, training for the day, and his father could walk amongst others again. Broly would then be recruited by Frieza to defeat Goku and Vegeta, a battle that broke all expectations. As Broly’s maximum power exploded, he proved to be a challenge even for two fully realized Super Saiyan Blues. Both versions of Broly, canon and original, have their own set of powerful moves.

6) Jiren
Image
Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object
The most powerful warrior of Universe 11, and the legendary mortal whose strength surpassed the Gods of Destruction, Jiren was ready to claim the prize himself. Possibly the strongest mortal in the multiverse, he was the final opponent in the Tournament of Power where he broke his limits to reach even greater heights, becoming virtually unstoppable in the process. Goku, Frieza and Android 17 had to give it everything they had to win. In the stage where the greatest warriors ever stood, Jiren outclassed them all easily.

5) Vegito/Gogeta
Image
Sharing is Caring
The combination of Goku and Vegeta’s powers created two perfect fighting machines. Vegito is formed by using the Potara earrings and was able to put the hurt on Buu and Zamasu, while Gogeta was formed with the fusion dance and brought down Broly and Janemba. Either option is a path to victory for the heroes, and when their strength combines, enemies should quiver in fear.

4) Beerus and the Gods of Destruction
Image
Destruction Incarnate
The God of Destruction and his brethren are built for one thing. Annihilation. To preserve the cycle of creation, the destroyers will eradicate entire worlds with their power. It was Beerus’s arrival to earth that kicked off Dragon Ball Super, and the world expanded when it learned what true power really meant. While he chooses to never get personally involved in any conflict, if he did, the conflict would end immediately.

The Student Hasn't Surpassed this Master
The all-powerful beings of each universe, the angels are the keepers and trainers for the Gods of Destruction, surpassing even them in power. Whis is the one who keeps Beerus in line and trained Goku and Vegeta to reach new heights. He could easily defeat every single threat the heroes come across if we wanted to. Whis and the angels are at levels so much higher than anything else, they are unimaginable.

The Priest Will See You Now
Adviser to the Omni King and father to Whis, Vados and all the angels, The Grand Minister is the one to carry out the will of Zeno, whatever it may be, and thus has the power to match. Having a much sterner side to him as well as being more mature, the Grand Minister will cast his unfathomable power on anyone willing to cross Zeno.

The Ones above All
The legendary Omni King himself, don’t let his childish appearance or demeanor fool you, Grand Zeno, and his alternate timeline counterpart are unequivocally the most powerful beings in the DragonBall series universe. As the Omni Kings, they rule over all there is, and can instantly cause the eradication of an entire universe on a whim, as he already destroyed 6 of the original 18. His power can not be comprehended and no being in existence even comes close.
