10 Most Powerful DC Characters (Who Are Not In The DCEU)

There are plenty of characters in the DC Universe that haven't seen or made their official appearance in the DCEU. The Snyder Cut of Justice League opened the doors to have plenty of other characters appear on the big screen. There is plenty being done to get more characters their own shows or movies. However, there are still a few that fans want to see make their official appearance in the DCEU.

Some are set to get their own movies or shows, but it will be a while before fans get to see them. Thankfully, the animated movies keep fans occupied in between live-action movies. While the animated movies are great, they do leave fans wanting to see some of their favorite heroes or villains enter the DC Extended Universe.

10 Bizarro

An imperfect clone of Superman created by Lex Luthor. Bizarro's powers are the exact opposite of Superman's abilities. Instead of heat vision like Superman, Bizarro has freeze vision. Superman has freeze breath. Bizarro has heat breath. Adding him to the DCEU would give Superman and/or the Justice League a tough opponent to fight. Superman III featured an evil version of Superman that was based on Bizarro. However, he has yet to make his official appearance on the big screen. At times, he is portrayed as an anti-hero of sorts, which adds some dimension to his character.

9 John Stewart/Green Lantern

A powerful and popular character. John Stewart is an engineer chosen by the Guardians of the Universe to be a backup Green Lantern after the first backup, Guy Gardner, was injured. In the Justice League and Justice League: Unlimited animated series, John was the main Green Lantern and was a popular character. He not only has a will that can exceed the limit of the Green Lantern Ring, but is one of the smartest DC heroes. Even Hal Jordan had to admit that John's constructs are very solid.

Bringing John Stewart in could be a fresh revival for the Green Lantern character. Plus, it would add some diversity to the Justice League.

8 Poison Ivy

A fan-favorite among Batman fans. Poison Ivy is a supervillain that is trying to protect the planet from humans. She is one of the few beings empowered by the Green. Poison Ivy can control plant life, has a poisonous touch, and can use plant toxins and mind-controlling pheromones. She could possess just about everyone, superhumans included, in the world at full power. Her powers make her able to communicate with others at great distances using plants.

Her relationship with Harley Quinn also makes her popular with fans. Adding her to the DCEU would be great representation for the LGBTQ+ community.

7 Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle

The third character to receive the Blue Beetle title. Jaime Reyes is a young teen that received his powers by accident. He joined the Teen Titans and has many battles with them. While his powers rely heavily on the scarab, Jaime has adjusted quite well to his newly gained powers and is one of the most powerful characters in DC. Jaime Reyes became a popular character on the Young Justice show and many fans are hoping to see him appear in the DCEU.

A movie is in the works for him, but it's unknown when filming will begin or its release date. If the movie is made, Jaime Reyes will be the first Latino hero to have a movie.

6 Zatanna Zatara

One of the most powerful sorceresses in the DC comics. She inherited most of her powers from her father, who is a powerful sorcerer. Zatanna's powers include using elemental forces, healing, transmuting, and mind control. The limits of her powers is unknown, but her physical well-being is at risk from overuse. She is just as powerful as other magic-users like Enchantress and Doctor Fate. Zatanna is set to have her own movie, but so far only the writer has been chosen for the project. DC fans are eager to see her appear on the big screen.

5 Lobo

An anti-hero that seems like a mindless lunatic at first, but is one of the strongest out there in the DC universe. Lobo is a mercenary that does enjoy mindless violence and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Once he takes a contract, he will complete it no matter what it takes or who is in his way. He seems near unstoppable and the limits of his powers are unknown. He has accelerated healing, extreme durability, is able to match Superman in strength, and can run as fast as the Flash.

A movie starring him could be very entertaining considering his antics and attitude are almost unpredictable. Even adding him in with other DC heroes or villains could add some dark humor to the DCEU.

4 Braniac

One of the most notorious villains in the DC universe. Brainiac has an insane amount of knowledge about mechanical engineering, bio-engineering, physics, and other alien technology. Very few can surpass him in knowledge and he considers even fewer his mental equal. He can possess others, telepathy, absorb information from other beings, telekinesis, and transfer his consciousness.

He is able to create multiple versions of himself and ensure that he'll always live in some way. Plus, he can match Superman in strength. Adding him in the DCEU could provide a really tough challenge for Superman or the Justice League.

3 Doctor Manhattan

The only member in the Watchmen to have superpowers. Doctor Manhattan is basically omnipotent. He is extremely powerful and invulnerable to all harm. He can be disintegrated and restore himself to normal in seconds. The list of his capabilities is immense and the world is lucky he's a hero. With his unlimited powers, Doctor Manhattan could easily wipe out most, if not all, of the DC heroes and villains if he wants to. Adding him, along with the rest of the Watchmen, could be interesting to watch, especially if they run into members of the Justice League.

2 Martian Manhunter

Though he appeared in one of the end-credits scenes for Zack Snyder's Justice League, Martian Manhunter still hasn't made an official appearance in the DCEU. One of the founding and strongest members of the Justice League, Martian Manhunter can fly, has regeneration, can shapeshift, can use invisibility, and has many other abilities that make him a strong fighter. Even Superman doesn't want to fight him.

The Snyder Cut of Justice League gave fans a very small glimpse of what could've been. It has left many fans wanting to see more of him and high hopes that maybe he'll appear in the DCEU one day.

1 Darkseid

Darkseid had a small, but significant role in Zack Snyder's Justice League. Unfortunately, the Snyder Cut isn't canon so he too hasn't made his official appearance in the DCEU. As one of the deadliest villains in the DC universe, Darkseid is more than powerful enough to take on the entire Justice League. He has deity-like powers and can absorb other gods' powers to rejuvenate himself. He could wipe a good number of the Justice League members with his Omega Beams alone.

Like Martian Manhunter, Darkseid's appearance in the Snyder Cut has left fans wanting more. With as powerful as he is, Darkseid could prove to be the strongest villain in the DCEU should he ever appear. Based on the Snyder Cut, it seemed Darkseid was ready to make his move on Earth.
