Who do you think is the most powerful entity in WH40K?

As it stands I'd say the Hive Mind... It seems like Tyranids are the only force in the galaxy that are making any kind of progress with their plans...

I'ld say Gork and Mork, if all of the Orks in the galaxy teamed up they would put the stomp on everyone. In the Ork codex it says that their Gods Gork and Mork are too powerful to ever be destroyed, and that they just laugh at any attempt and then krump em.

Ynnead.

He is destined to kill Slaanesh (Who killed Khaine...) So he's stronger than both of them by that logic.

His powers could well be limitless upon awaking. o_O

Yes. Gork N Mork would stomp flat the others with only scratches to show for the effort

The Emperor is more powerful than the chaos gods. The chaos gods beat all the Eldar gods. This rules out all the chaos and eldar gods.

Ynnead could be more powerful than the chaos gods, and hence potentially on par with the Emprah.

The hive mind's true strength is not known. It could be the most powerful.

Back in the day, I'd say the Emperor because the 4 Chaos gods teamed up to beat him. In perspective, it only took Slaanesh to eat the entire Eldar pantheon (except the laughing god and Issha I guess). Nowadays I'm not so sure since its kinda unclear how alive-ish / dead-ish big E is nowadays and what exactly he's doing on the GT to combat Chaos.

If not the Emperor then Gork and Mork definitely. IIRC if they put their minds to it they could krump Chaos easy, its just that like their worshippers they can't be bothered, too busy being orky.

Well, with Gork and Mork, they`re the only gods who are 100% for sure real is the only thing...and as to what the Emprah is doing to combat chaos-he is keeping the chaos gods from physically manifesting because of the hole in reality that Magnus tore open when he teleported through the Emprah`s webway gate.

I personnally think Khorne. If you fight him, you spill blood. Therefore combating him makes him stronger. Nuff said.

The Emperor, obviously. The fact that he is so powerful and still man makes him the greatest figure in Warhammer fluff.

And Matt Ward's favorite is always a good bet.

Since every single faction has to be able to feasably stand up to every other faction, I chose Chuck Norris. The only reason he isn't in the game is because we would go blind from the awesomeness.

It's been written in fluff that Slaanesh will one day encompass all the other chaos gods-he/she/it is just coming into the power it will one day have-eventually it'll destroy the other three. However, due to my fear of fists hidden in chins, I had to vote for the Norris. Let's face facts-the Emperor isn't powerful-he's a husk of his former glory sitting on a shiny toilet. Screw that guy.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Gork and Mork probably rival the Emperor, and that makes them a triumvirate of death.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

isn't the Emperor going to turn into the star child and like kill all the Chaos Gods (minus Slaanesh cause thats Eldar Territory). Gork and Mork aught to be one selection IMO cause they cant really be told apart.

*sigh* had to pick the Emperor of Man, as they did not have the true machine god as an option.... and the Emperor is only an avatar of him. (the Void Dragon was defeated and imprisoned by the emperor and used to his advantage, so is not the true machine god.)

Face it, it took all 4 chaos gods to work together and corrupt half the SM legions and they still could not fully defeat the Emperor.

And Slaanesh alone took out the Eldar gods so they are out. (Ynnead is only going after one of the Chaos gods so would not be likely to be as tough to take all 4 at once like the Emperor.)

Malal cannot even take the big 4 chaos gods, so he is out of the running. (for now at least)

Mork and Gork do not work together enough to be a danger unless they united all orks at once to gather their power as one strike against the Emperor... but using that logic the Imperium could gather all their might behind the Emperor, and that is a heck of alot more likely.

Alessio Cortez is right out of the running.

Matt Ward is not even in 40k itself so :p

The Tyranid Hive Mind is iffy... not sure how powerful it truely is, it makes a shadow in the warp... is the shadow stronger than the beacon in the warp... tough call.

And chuck norris.... he got beaten up by bruce lee.. he has no chance.

They never actually fought so it's a toughy to say who would actually win. (If we go by fights in films, it's 1-1)

Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

The four Chaos gods, but particularly Tzeentch. Beings which are fed by every galaxy in all of the countless dimensions the warp touches, but are fortunately thus above actually noticing or caring about what occurs in any one of the infinite locales they touch.

Emperor got punked by a super beefy Chaos Champion who before punking the Emperor punked a Primarch for a warm-up.

Horus then told the Emprah to "Sit Down" and he has ever since.

Chaos > The Emperor
