My Top 10 Most Powerful Akuma Villains

Ok. Here I’ll be going over my choices and rankings on which Akuma Villains I believe are the 10 most powerful of them all. I’ll be ranking them based on their raw power, their various abilities, how practical their powers are and how well they can perform in a given situation. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

#10. The Pharaoh

In 10th place, I put in The Pharaoh. In the episode ‘The Pharaoh’, before he was akumatized, he was a young historian named Jalil Kubdel who was fanatically obsessed with the history and myths of Ancient Egypt. This fanatical attitude of his would then go on to disappoint his father and get Jalil akumatized into The Pharaoh, an Akuma Villain with the powers of the Egyptian Gods. Those powers include Thoth’s power to create time bubbles that slow anyone or anything trapped inside them in time (though, Thoth is technically the God of Knowledge and Measurement; although, Measurement does technically include measuring time; so, I guess that makes sense), Sekhmet’s power of super-strength which also allows The Pharaoh to create powerful shockwaves by clapping his hands (though, Sekhmet is the Goddess of Fire, War, Dance, Love, Desert Wind and Medicine but I also heard that the super-strength power The Pharaoh has probably came from Sekhmet’s name which translates to “power” or “might” so I guess that makes sense too), Horus’s power to sprout out wings and fly (Horus is the God of the Sky; So, that makes more clear sense) and Anubis’s power to turn people into mummies (Anubis is the God of Death; So, I actually think it makes sense considering that mummies are undead). I think the reason why a couple of the Egyptian Deities’ were a bit of a stretch is because Jalil was much more of a fanatic than a believer. In the episode ‘Kwamibuster’, Jalil even thought that Egyptian pyramids were really alien spaceships that stopped on Earth because they ran out of gas. But I digress. Anyway, a YouTuber called ASLB247 said in his Miraculous Ladybug Review: Ep. 6 The Pharaoh that The Pharaoh is so powerful just after he listed all the powers The Pharaoh has probably because those powers demonstrate that The Pharaoh has quite a few powerful abilities as well as quite a bit of variety in his arsenal. This is also, in my personal opinion, why he has a spot in the #10 rank.

#9. Christ Master

In 9th place, I put in Christ Master. In the episode ‘Christ Master’, before he was akumatized, he was a bit of a bratty little boy named Chris Lahiffe. He was akumatized because Marinette Dupain-Cheng, in order to stop him from trying to look inside the box where she stored her presents for Adrien’s next 35 birthdays (that’s just plain creepy on so many levels; I’m not joking), lied to him by saying that she’s one of Santa Claus’s elves which caused Chris to desperately want a certain toy as his Christmas present early. After being akumatized into Christ Master, he had the power to bring toys to life and create a fortress made of Legos for himself. He even brought Santa Claus to life. Another impressive thing about Christ Master’s powers is that he’s able to give the toys he brought to life abilities that are akin to their real counterparts. For example, he was able to give a toy dog he brought to life a strong sense of smell. Another example is that he was able to give the Ladybug and Cat Noir toys he brought to life similar powers to the real Ladybug and Cat Noir. The Ladybug Toy had the power to create an object to help against an opponent (although, it wasn’t really as effective as the real Ladybug’s Lucky Charm) and the Cat Noir Toy a facsimile of the real Cat Noir’s Cataclysm power that can destroy anything the Cat Noir Toy touches with its right palm. Since there are so many different types of toys out there, Christ Master can potentially bring so many different types of toys with so many different types of powers to life. And as shown in ‘Christ Master’, he even used his power to make his own personal army of toys-brought-to-life. The only way Ladybug and Cat Noir were able to defeat him in the end was by getting him to give up his Akuma object willingly.

#8. Riposte

In 8th place, I put in Riposte. In the episode ‘Riposte’, before she was akumatized, she was a girl named Kagami. Her mother was a fencing champion and Kagami really wanted to live up to her mother’s fencing legacy. However, she hit a very bad bump on the road. She decided to join a fencing team as a step to live up to her mother but she had to defeat one of Mr. D’Argencourt’s students in a fencing duel to earn her spot on the team. She chose the greatest combatant who happened to be Adrien Agreste. After an intense duel, it ended in what actually looked like a tie. But Marinette, who was the only to be able to see the end of the duel, mistook Adrien for the victor. Despite Adrien’s pleas to challenge Kagami to a more decisive duel, Kagami said that “There are no second chances in my family” and drove off. During the drive, she then got akumatized into Riposte. With the power of her sword, she has a lot of raw power on her side. For example, she was able to slice the Louvre in half.

#7. The Mime

For 7th place, I put in The Mime. In the episode ‘The Mime’, before he was akumatized, he was a man named Fred Haprele. He was gonna be a lead in a night show. But things went wrong when a colleague named Chris sabotaged him by tricking into meeting at the wrong rendezvous point. This got Fred dismissed from being the lead. This got him worried that his daughter Mylene would be very disappointed in him. He then got akumatized into The Mime. With his new power, he’s able to mime any object he wants into existence. And since this is miming (albeit a magical sort), the objects he brings into existence are invisible. So, it could get a bit tricky to keep up. The possibilities are almost endless for The Mine’s power. He even used it to cut the Eiffel Tower down. The one downside for him is that he’s only able to mime into existence one thing at a time.

#6. The Evillustrator

For 6th place, I put in The Evillustrator. In the episode ‘The Evillustrator’, before he was akumatized, he was a student at College Francois Dupont High School who got akumatized after getting bullied and put in trouble for his daydreaming and sketches about being a superhero and being Marinette’s boyfriend. With his new power, he was able to bring whatever he drew to life. The possibilities for that are probably even more endless than Christ Master’s and The Mime’s powers. After all, unlike Christ Master who was limited by the fact that he still needs the toys themselves in order to bring them to life and The Mime who was limited by the fact that there are only so many things a person can mime, The Evillustrator doesn’t need an external object or need to gesture in a certain way in order to use his powers. He just needs to draw on the sketch pad attached to his arm. And there’s no limit to what can be drawn. The one downside to his power is that he can’t use it in the dark.

#5. The Collector

For 5th place, I put in The Collector. In the episode ‘The Collector’, he was Gabriel Agreste AKA Hawkmoth who purposely got himself akumatized in order to draw suspicion off him. As The Collector, his new power is pretty much the exact opposite of The Evillustrator’s. Whereas The Evillustrator is able to bring things to life by drawing them, The Collector turns anyone or anything that touches his book into drawings in its pages. He’s also able to erase the objects in the pages. And The Collector is able to throw his book like a boomerang to any distance he wants and then get it to return to him.

#4. Time Tagger

For 4th place, I put in Timetagger. In the episode ‘Timetagger’, he was an older version of Chris Lahiffe from the future who got akumatized for unknown reasons. Although, judging by the end of the episode, it looks like Lila Rossi had something to do with it. Timetagger had the power to send himself and other people through time. Time travel is extremely powerful. After all, the possibilities when it comes to changing the past and thus changing the present and future are endless. However, there’s a catch. Since it’s time travel, there would be dozens of problems. For example, there would be paradoxes and the butterfly effect. So, time travel is just as risky as it is powerful.

#3. Stormy Weather

For 3rd place, I put in Stormy Weather. In the episode ‘Stormy Weather’, she was a girl named Aurora Beaureal who got akumatized because of losing a contest with her KIDZ+ opponent Mireille Caquet by half a million votes. She was then akumatized into a villain called Stormy Weather. Her power is to control the very weather itself. But what puts her in the #3 spot for me is her power in the episode ‘Stormy Weather 2’. In that episode, Aurora got akumatized again for getting mocked for getting akumatized into a villain before. In ‘Stormy Weather 2’, Stormy Weather created a volcano that made an eruption capable of pushing planet Earth away from the sun. That type of power has to be unbelievably strong. In fact, in terms of raw power, I’d say the only Akuma villain that surpasses Stormy Weather is the one in the #1 spot.

#2. Catalyst

For 2nd place, I put in Catalyst. In the episode ‘Catalyst (Heroes’ Day - Part 1)’, she was a woman named Nathalie Sancoeur who was a loyal ally to Hawkmoth. She allowed Hawkmoth to akumatize her into a villain called Catalyst. She has the power to amplify a person’s powers. She used that power to allow Hawkmoth to use as many Akumas at once as he needed. She’s pretty lacking in terms of raw power but like I said at the start of this post, I’m also judging the Akuma villains based on how practical their powers are. And Catalyst’s power would be very practical when it comes to helping superpowered people out in a given situation. If Catalyst were to, for example, amp up Rena Rouge’s power to create illusions, Rena Rouge might be capable of creating illusions that are actually real.

#1. Cat Blanc

For 1st place, I put in Cat Blanc. In the episode ‘Cat Blanc’, he was a boy named Adrien Agreste AKA the superhero Cat Noir. In an alternate timeline, he found out Marinette’s secretly Ladybug and decided to date her. However, this set a chain of events in motion that led to his father Gabriel Agreste AKA Hawkmoth going completely over the edge and trying to akumatize him after showing him his mother in her catatonic state. But this went completely awry. After getting akumatized into Cat Blanc, he destroyed all of Paris along with both Marinette and Gabriel. Cat Blanc then spent the next few months completely alone. Cat Blanc’s power was COMPLETELY INSANE!!! He was able create a ball of destructive energy that was as big as the Milky Way galaxy. This really goes to show that he was the most powerful Akuma villain of them all.

Overall, these are my top 10 most powerful Akuma villains.

Thanks for reading.
