Strongest (female) ‘Being’ in the Buffyverse ?

[Hallow Thorn]

Cordelia Chase as a Higher being (AS5+)

"In the beginning, before the time of man, great beings walked the earth. Untold power emanated from all quarters — the seeds of what would come to be known as good and evil. But the shadows stretched and became darkness, and the malevolent among us grew stronger. The earth became a demon realm. Those of us who had the will to resist left this place, but we remained ever-watchful."

Illyria – Old One (in Fred's shell) (AS5+)

"The Old Ones were demons pure. They warred as we would breathe—endlessly. The greater ones were interred, for death was not always their end."

Willow Rosenberg- Witch (BS2+)

"History is all romantic adventure stories. Until you live it. Until you live long enough to be a part of it."

Buffy Summers (Faith ect.) - Slayers (BS1+)

"In every generation, there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."

Other: Demons/ Vampires (etc...)


(Right! Polls... Sorry forgot about his place... *looks around for the Old ones*)

Hmmm...not sure who to vote for. I mean higher beings are pretty powerful, but we don't really see that power getting used very often. They seem restricted by their own rules or perhaps they have limits to what they can influcence given how far away they are.

I guess I'm going to have to go with Old Ones then. Before Illyria went nuclear in Season 5 of Angel, it's easy to say she was unstopable.

I was stuck between Illyria and Willow. I do agree that Illyria was the strongest, physically, before her power was stripped from her.

But then I got to thinking...What would actually happen if Willow and Illyria were able to fight? If Willow was fighting for herself or someone extremely precious to her(i.e. Tara; I know that she's long-gone, but this is my fantasy poll universe haha). What would provoke Willow enough to unleash everything that she's been holding in? Willow has learned a lot more since S6 when she went bad. She can even fly now! I think it'd be a tough battle, but I'd really be interested in what Willow would be capable of, if necessary.

I have to vote for my girl/thing Illyria! lol

Willow is the most powerful force in the Buffyverse as far as I'm concerned.

[Hallow Thorn]

I will have to go with Cordelia and then Illyria... I just think that 'Higher Beings' (not Cordy at this stage tho) would be the most powerfull.

[Wyndam]

Since it is hard to judge just how powerful Higher Beings are, I was torn between Illyria and Willow. If we are talking about Illyria pre-Time Bomb then I would choose her, no question. Illyria post-Time Bomb is significantly weaker, so I went with Willow. Willow has proven that she is more or less unstoppable if she wanted to be, so no question really.

[Just Willow]

heck yes!

[Midnight Butterfly]

Willow for sure. Although I think Glory should have been up there ;D

[XanderHarris]

I'd have to go with Illyria. Time altering, extremely superhuman strength, portal conjuring - beats Willow for me.
The only problem Illyria has is, that Fred's body can't handle the power - apart from that and in it's true form, Illyria is unbeatable.

Yeah, Dark Willow is strong as well, flaying, telekinesis yada, yada, yada - her powers were only for a very little amount of time and even Giles could stand up against her.

Yeah, definitely pro Illyria.

Voted for Willow.

[worldofshrimps]
