Probably the Dowd from Star Trek.
He killed an entire species just by thinking of it.
The author, of course.

Along these lines I was going to say whichever character carries the power of Plot Armor at any given moment.

There have been quite a few fictional characters that were straight-up omnipotent. Anyone wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, for example. I'm not sure how one would meaningfully pick which was the most powerful.

EDIT: Wait, sorry, this would be the most powerful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_%2...e-Above-All.22

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

As far as omnipotent beings with limitless power

In the beginning, there were two genderless entities, the Brothers. They were the Yin and Yang, Good and Evil, the Mainyu. Each entity encompassed the whole of everything, except each other. Once before they came together in battle, unleashing forces that ended and then began creation all over again. In the explosion of death and rebirth, the entities were blasted apart -- their shattered essence fractured the new-born universe into a pair of "multiverses". One entity became the embodiment of the "Marvel Multiverse" while the other became the "DC Multiverse". Fragments of their essence blew in all directions, and as the multiverses spread outward, so did the entities. It took them eons just to remember they had consciousness, and after all that time their memory of each other had vanished.
Yay I love these kind of threads 
Carry on. I enjoy when people throw out anime characters if only because they're so stupid hax usually in a weird way.

So it's clear then, a showdown between SoAK and Lobo must be written. SoAK has killed a large number of supposedly immortal beings, then again I've seen Lobo uncompress himself after being spaghettified from a black hole. Might be a real near thing.|

But really that's usually the trouble with these sorts of comparisons, it really depends on who is writing it. On a related note, I'm sure some of us have heard some variation on this line, "D&D can't be a tool of the Devil. My 50th level paladin killed him in last weekend's game session!"
"Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them."

I tried explaining the concept of plot armor to a moron once. He was convinced that there was no such thing, and that the particular characters in what we were talking about got by on their own. In spite of it being an almost literal case of plot armor, with the main character taking hit after hit and not being hurt...until he suddenly was! Surprise!

...and almost Bruce Lee.
I was speaking to a friend about the new Spider-man movie, and we somehow got into a "most powerful fictional character ever" debate. The first person that came to mind was Goku from DragonBall Z. Everyone else I thought of, I don't think they could defeat him. One of the people who came to mind that I thought might have a chance is Dr. Manhattan.
Who do you think is the most powerful fictional character ever?
