Iron Body Monarch
This is one of the antagonists who gave the good guys the most trouble in the anime. He is among the strongest characters in Solo Leveling due to his telepathy, strength and erasure abilities. He is of the monarch race, which in itself makes him very strong in the anime's universe.
It was during the Crisis in Japan arc that he was able to show his full strength, coldly murdering one of the strongest hunters in the United States. He is also known by the nickname "King of the Humanoids".
Bellion
This is one of the scariest of Solo Leveling's strongest characters. He is from the race of monsters and is also part of the mythology of the work's universe. In it, he is presented as the Grand Marshal of the Shadow Monarch's army, born directly from the World Tree.
It was in his confrontation with the character Beru that viewers got an idea of the extent of his strength. He is able to display super strength, instant regeneration and super speed.
Sung II Hwan
Here we have the protagonist's father, who deserves a place among the strongest characters in Solo Leveling, proving that combat prowess is in this family's blood. Il Hwan stands out because his body is home to one of the Seven Rulers. These beings were responsible for the death of the Ultimate One, an entity that functions as a kind of god in the series' universe.
His fight against the Ice Monarch is breathtaking and shows off his formidable abilities as well as his weaknesses. He's quite vulnerable to mana attacks, but that didn't stop him from effectively containing his opponent.
Monarch of the Bestial Fangs
Even among the Monarchs, Bestial Fangs already stands out as someone very powerful, deserving his place as one of the strongest characters in Solo Leveling. He's also known as "the King of Beasts", displaying telekinesis, rapid regeneration and speed as part of his powers.
During his confrontation with the hunter Thomas Andre, he showed a remarkable ability to dominate. However, he tends to avoid confrontations with people he knows are stronger than him, which could categorize him as a coward, despite his strength.
Monarch of the Beginning
Legia is known as the Monarch of the Beginning and also the King of Giants. He is one of the strongest characters in Solo Leveling because of his unique ability to get the truth from anyone else. As a result, he becomes all too important in plans that involve strategy.
He also has great strength, speed and is able to manipulate wind pressure. Without a doubt, Legia is a very strong opponent. Not just any hunter would be able to take him on and come out alive to tell the tale.
Ice Monarch
The Ice Monarch is one of the strongest characters in Solo Leveling for several reasons. Also known as the King of the Snow People, he demonstrates all his strength when it comes to manipulating ice spells, managing to create weapons from the element and even golems that can obey his orders.
He is also capable of freezing his enemies in extreme temperatures, which can give any opponent who decides to take him on a hard time. His powers also include inducing sleep, manifesting his spiritual body, super strength, speed and creating portals.
Ashborn
Ashborn is the fearsome Shadow Monarch and one of the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling. It is he who transfers power to the protagonist Sung Jin-Woo and it is also he who is known as the Traitor to the Rulers.
This is because he was once one of the seven, but ended up betraying his companions and becoming the Shadow Monarch. As well as transferring powers, he can also extract and strengthen shadows, making him one of the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling.
Monarch of Destruction
Antares is the personification of chaos and annihilation and is also known as the King of Dragons. He can transform himself into a large, powerful red dragon that can even manipulate space, which makes him one of the strongest characters in Solo Leveling.
He is presented as the protagonist Sung Jin-Woo's final adversary, fighting him as an equal. Antares is able to instill fear in his most powerful opponents and annihilate them as his enemies, making him one of the most dangerous opponents in the book.
Absolute Being
The Absolute Being is the closest thing to the concept of "God" in the game's universe, and is one of the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling. He is the creator of all things, including rulers and monarchs, but he revels in confronting them, which suggests a cruel nature on his part.
He is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent, but he was eventually defeated by the Seven Rulers, but it's worth noting that he was only defeated because they united to face him. On their own, the rulers would never stand a chance. Or would they?
Sung Jin Woo
Here we have the pure juice of protagonism. Sung Jin-Woo manages to bring together various skills from different classes in the game's universe, such as the Ruler's Authority and the Monarch's Domain. He is the strongest of the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling.
At first he's just a rank E hunter who gets an upgrade to his powers thanks to a superior entity, but by the end of the story he's managed to gather so many other abilities that defeating him becomes a virtually impossible task. There's no way the protagonist couldn't be among the most powerful characters in Solo Leveling!
