After more than 80 years operating as the most powerful hero in the DC Universe, Superman could share that title with one of his greatest allies.
For more than 80 years we have seen many heroes, heroines and villains whose strength is comparable to that of Superman, the powerful alien that we met in April 1939 in the pages of Action Comics #1, but in 2022 the Man of Steel has lost the right to call himself the most powerful being in the DC Universe.

We have seen the rise of various characters such as Darkseid, Martian Manhunter, Bane, or Shazam and Black Adam, who have put Superman in a bind by not being immune to magic.
But in 2022 Superman can no longer claim to be the most powerful hero, since he will have to share this title with one of the members of the Green Lantern corporation.
Who unseated Superman as DC’s most powerful being?
In Green Lantern #9 the Green Lantern corporation is in serious trouble, as the Central Power Battery was destroyed. The few members who keep their sidewalk rings begin to have problems due to not having a power source for these devices.
While Simon Baz searches through technology, John Stewart has discovered how to harness an energy the Guardians entrusted to him long ago when Stewart defended Mosaic’s cloak.
Stewart is capable of extracting cosmic energy from anywhere in the universe, which will make him stronger and more resistant.
This is because the ‘ascended’ like John Stewart can draw pure energy into himself, something that Kryptonians cannot do, which puts John Stewart at the level of the New Gods.
Over time John Stewart could become more powerful, coupled with his great ability to wield his Green Lantern ring, something that could give him a bigger role in the DC Universe.
