Summary

  • Young Justice is distinct from the Teen Titans and incorporates an array of powerful heroes from both teams.
  • The animated series combined members from both groups, leading to an impressive lineup of unique characters.
  • Individual heroes like Superboy and Wonder Girl are notably stronger than others, showcasing immense power levels.

Young Justice is often confused with the Teen Titans, the most popular team of young heroes in the DC Comics universe. However, despite sharing some similar members, they are actually a separate team. After the original Teen Titans members aged out of their teenage years and formed the Titans, the original roster of Young Justice included Robin (Tim Drake), Impulse, and Superboy, but it later expanded to include more heroes.

By 

The popular animated series Young Justice featured this team, incorporating many members who were not present in the comic book version. This roster effectively merged characters from both the Teen Titans and the Young Justice teams. The series showcases numerous powerful heroes, and this list is a ranking of these heroes based on their levels of power.

10 Beast Boy

Garfield Logan

  • First Appearance: Doom Patrol #99 (November 1965)
  • Powers & Abilities:
    • Powers: Conduit of The Red (Therianthropy: Animal Mimicry, Bio-Fission, Enhanced Intellect, Regeneration, Flight, Bio-Fusion, Self-Resurrection, Infection, Size Alteration, Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Durability)
    • Abilities: Disguise, Encyclopedic Animal Knowledge, Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced), Swimming

Beast Boy is best known as a member of the Teen Titans, as a member of the second roster first established in the 1980s. However, he also served as a member of Young Justice, which is a trait that continued into the series.

As a child, Garfield contracted a rare illness and received a serum from a green monkey. This serum altered his appearance and granted him the ability to transform into any animal. When he changes into an animal, he gains its powers. For instance, if he transforms into a gorilla, he acquires their strength, and if he becomes a bird, he gains the ability to fly. Despite having a wide range of powers at his disposal, Beast Boy is relatively limited compared to others in the superhero community.

9 Dial H For Hero

Miguel Montez

  • First Appearance: Dial H for Hero #1 (May, 2019)
  • Powers & Abilities:
    • Powers: Owner of the H-Dial and C-Dial

Miguel Montez is the current owner of the H-Dial, a device that allows the user to transform into a superhero from the 'Heroverse' by dialing the letter H. Each superhero comes with their own unique set of abilities. One of the most well-known examples is Monster Truck, a truck-themed hero known for his immense strength and speed, though he also has a penchant for destruction. These transformations are temporary, and Miguel returns to his original form once the hero completes their mission.

Many Superman villains have made a significant impact on both the big and small screens, including various iterations of Lex Luthor and General Zod.

Additionally, Miguel has access to the C-Dial, which allows him to become the hero he needs at any given moment. A prime example of this is SuperMiguel, a hero endowed with powers similar to those of Superman. Although Miguel is still a young hero and cannot yet be ranked very high, the potential he holds with the H-Dial and C-Dial is considerable.

8 Teen Lantern

Keli Quintela

  • First Appearance: Young Justice Vol 3 #1 (March 2019)
  • Powers & Abilities:
    • Powers: Owner of a Green Lantern Power Battery Pack (Energy Construct Creation, Flight, Enhanced Senses)
    • Abilities: Genius Level Intellect, Multilingualism

Keli Quintela utilized her brilliant intellect to design a gauntlet that allows her to access the power of the Green Lantern Ring without the knowledge of the Green Lantern Corps. With this technology, she can create hard-light constructs using her thoughts, which she employs to fight crime as a member of Young Justice.

Eventually, her actions drew the attention of the Guardians of Oa, and she was formally inducted into the Green Lantern Corps. However, since she is still new to her heroic journey, she cannot be ranked very high at this time. If she successfully masters the willpower-fueled Green Lantern ring, she may achieve a higher rank in the future.

7 Amethyst

Amaya

  • First Appearance: Sword of Sorcery Vol 2 #0 (November 2012)
  • Powers & Abilities:

Along with other sidekicks, Superboy and Robin, he formed Young Justice, a group of young heroes that is distinct from the Teen Titans, although he would later join that team as well. Speedsters are incredibly powerful; a battle could be decided before it even starts, which is why Impulse deserves a high ranking on this list.

2 Wonder Girl

  • Powers & Abilities:
    • Powers: Demigoddess Physiology (Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Durability, Accelerated Healing, Superhuman Senses, Superhuman Reflexes, Superhuman Agility, Flight, Longevity, Magic)

Cassandra Sandsmark was born to archaeologist Helena Sandsmark and the demigod adventurer Lennox, the son of Zeus. However, she did not learn about her heritage until later in life, when her powers first began to manifest.

As a demigod and under the mentorship of her aunt, Wonder Woman, Cassandra possesses incredible strength, speed, durability, flight, and some magical abilities. Wonder Girl has been a member of both the Teen Titans and Young Justice, consistently proving herself as a powerhouse member capable of taking on significant threats that lesser-powered heroes cannot handle.

1 Superboy

Kon-El / Conner Kent

  • First Appearance: Adventures of Superman #500 (June 1993)
  • Powers & Abilities:
    • Powers: Kryptonian Physiology (Solar Energy Absorption, Heat Vision, Super-Hearing, Enhanced Vision, Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision, Telescopic Vision, X-Ray Vision, Microscopic Vision, Infrared Vision, Flight, Invulnerability, Enhanced Immunity, Superhuman Stamina, Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Agility, Superhuman Reflexes, Super-Breath, Longevity), Tactile Telekinesis (Telekinetic Superhuman Strength, Telekinetic Flight, Telekinetic Force-Field, Telekinetic Force Blasts, Telekinetic Super Hearing)

Superboy is the genetic clone of both Superman and Lex Luthor, created by Project Cadmus after Clark Kent's apparent death. Initially meant to replace Superman, it was later revealed that the true Superman was alive. Superboy, also known as Kon-El, became his own hero and was accepted by his new "big brother."

Conner went on to co-found Young Justice alongside Robin and Impulse, and he is undoubtedly the strongest member of the team due to his Kryptonian DNA. He is nearly invulnerable (except to Kryptonite or magic), can fly, possesses immense strength, and has a wide range of other abilities. Clearly, no one on the Young Justice roster comes close to his power levels.
