The Most Powerful Comic Book Characters From Outside The DC And Marvel Universes

Spawn is the name of a particular Hellspawn, or lieutenant of Hell's army, gifted with immense power by the demon Malebolgia.

For the first 100 or so issues of Spawn, Al Simmons is the titular anti-hero. While his power does slowly run out whenever he uses it outside of Hell, his abilities run the gamut from the mundane to the miraculous. He gets Hell's standard-issue sentient uniform with living chains, as well as energy blasts, the ability to change his appearance, and teleport, but he can also do things like summon vermin, heal from pretty much any physical injury, and cure cancer. Honestly, his full powers are too vast to list here.

Once a pizza boy, now a god, Max Faraday is a Jim Lee creation for WildStorm that can create and manipulate reality with his thoughts.

Thanks to the power of the "creation equation," Faraday has control over "space, time, and everything in it."

Did someone say all the powers of Superman? Well then, don't count out Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's side project: Invincible.

Mark Grayson has flown into a star, survived multiple battles against monsters, dimension-hopping villains, and even heavyweight matches against his father's warrior race, the Viltrumites. Having the ability to heal from pretty much any injury - even when your guts are mostly on the outside of your body - is pretty handy.

At his weakest, the Plutonian believed his powers were similar to those of Superman. At his most powerful, he's basically a god.

It is revealed relatively late in Irredeemable's run that Plutonian's superhuman abilities are due to his ability to manipulate matter. In essence, he can do anything he sets his mind to. Not a comforting thought when the character is basically "Superman with wildly unresolved anger issues."

The child of a demon and a witch, Hellboy has a wide range of powers. He's super-strong and durable, plus he's fated to end the world - or maybe just Hell, if it gets him angry enough.

Unlike the '90s film starring comedian Jim Carry, Dark Horse's Mask is not only more powerful but also significantly more villainous. 

While The Mask grants its wearer incredible, reality-warping powers, it more often than not eliminates all self-control. No matter how innocent the wearer's intentions, eventually they become an agent of absolute chaos.
