The Strongest Disney Characters Ever

Share

Summary

  • Disney characters often possess special powers like immortality and elemental manipulation.
  • Elsa from Frozen can create eternal winters, while Ursula from The Little Mermaid can create storms.
  • Zeus from Hercules controls thunder, Hades from Hercules controls fire and the dead, and Genie from Aladdin can grant wishes.

Many Disney movies revolve around romance or friendship. So, based on that, you’d expect the characters to be normal people or animals with fairly ordinary abilities. However, that is not always the case. Disney films are filled with all sorts of wild and wonderful creatures that have various special powers.

These Disney comedies prove the House of Mouse knows how to bring the giggles.

Things like superhuman strength, immortality, elemental manipulation, and the ability to break the laws of nature are actually quite common to see in Disney characters. As a result, many of them are much more powerful than the average human. Here are the ones that are also stronger than most other Disney characters.

Even though Disney owns Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, characters from those movies haven’t been considered for this list.

Elsa

Frozen Series

Elsa embracing her ice powers in Frozen.

It’s tough to truly analyze Elsa’s famous ice powers compared to other Disney characters because of her lack of battle. You don’t get to see her taking on many dangerous foes. That said, her powers are clearly very impressive.

She can freeze anything, including people and entire towns. Plus, in the first movie, she created an eternal winter using her talents without even meaning to do so. Think of what she could do if she really tried.

Ursula

The Little Mermaid

Ursula and her Eels in The Little Mermaid.

Ursula from The Little Mermaid is more of a trickster than a fighter. She has an uncanny ability to convince people to agree to her dastardly deals, which can have a catastrophic impact on the other party. She locks them into these deals using her incredible magic abilities. For much of the movie, this is how she causes problems for Ariel.

Yet, when her various schemes come undone, she becomes more of a physical threat, showcasing her ability to create storms, conjure lightning, control the sea, and grow into a giant. Some of this is with the help of a trident, but she’s the one wielding it, so it counts. She dies a little too easily later, but she’s a mighty being nonetheless.

Zeus

Hercules

Zeus looking to the left of the screen in Hercules.

Any adaptation of the Greek God known as Zeus is required to be very powerful. So, it’s no surprise that the one from Hercules has incredible strength. Naturally, he is much physically stronger than mere mortals.

And they all lived happily ever after…

On top of that, though, the God also has the ability to control thunder and lightning, which you see at times during the movie. In fact, he physically throws lightning bolts at his enemies. He isn’t unbeatable, as he needs Hercules’ help near the end of the movie, but it takes Hades and a few titans to incapacitate Zeus.

Hades

Hercules

Hades with a big grin on his face in Hercules.

Hades is one of the best Disney villains, mainly because he is funny. Yet, you shouldn’t let his wisecracking distract you from the fact that this guy is very formidable. He is a God from the underworld. As a God, he is unsurprisingly much physically stronger than a human.

That isn’t the only thing dangerous about the guy, though. He also has a slew of powers that you’d expect an evil God to have, from manipulating fire to resurrecting the dead to controlling gruesome creatures. These abilities and the many more he has allow him to get the better of Zeus until Hercules lends a hand.

4

Genie

Aladdin Series

The Genie stands smugly.

The Genie from Aladdin is an incredibly powerful being because he is capable of almost anything. After all, his main purpose is to grant people’s wishes, and that wouldn’t be a very useful power if it had significant limitations.

So, he can spawn things out of nothing and break the laws of nature. On top of that, he has the ability to fly and change into any shape he desires. Therefore, he has some of the most impressive powers ever seen from a Disney character. Thankfully, he isn’t violent, or else he could do some real damage.

3

Maleficent

Sleeping Beauty And Maleficent Series

Maleficent and Diablo from Sleeping Beauty.

It’s arguable whether Sleeping Beauty can be considered among the best Disney Princess movies, but it certainly has one of the greatest villains in Maleficent. She is even more dangerous than the average evil Disney Witch.

If you’re not in the mood for romance, these are the best Disney movies to watch.

This woman can do all sorts of things with her magical abilities, from controlling the elements to cursing people. Yet, when talking about her most powerful skills, you can’t avoid mentioning the fact that she can turn herself into a giant fire-breathing dragon, which significantly increases her strength and durability.

Te Fiti

Moana Series

Te Fiti in the water, looking down at Moana.

Te Fiti is a Goddess whose power lies in her ability to create and manipulate the world around her. She can create full islands and have them filled with fauna. The Goddess can also rejuvenate life and fix broken items with little trouble. And she’s willing to do all that when her heart is intact. However, as seen in Moana, if you steal her heart, she turns into Te Ka. This is a more dangerous and scary form for the Goddess.

In this form, she is covered in fire and magma. So, naturally, she can conjure huge fireballs and smash you with her flaming fists. She has a weakness for water, but she’s still pretty much unstoppable unless you give her heart back.

Chernabog

Fantasia

Chernabog from Fantasia looking down.

Sometimes, characters can look unassuming but actually be very dangerous and strong. In the case of Chernabog, though, just from looking at the beast, you can tell he’s going to be a major threat.

He is a huge demonic being who can raise the dead and have them do his bidding. The beast can also summon fire and demons. His exact amount of strength is unclear, as he does not regularly get into fights during his appearances, but it is clear that he is a powerful villain.
