A handful of vampires from movies and TV shows emerge as the most powerfulin all fiction due to their unique powers and invulnerabilities.Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Twilight Saga,True Blood,andThe Vampire Diariesdominate the vampire fantasy subgenre, as these series all feature numerous vampire characters constantly shifting between ally and enemy. However, it is clear that a select few vampires from other properties would wipe the floor with themost popular vampires from movies and TV.
Each property tends to position one or several vampires as the most powerful in their world,often due to age and specific abilities acquired over time. The basic trope of vampire mythology is that one original vampire is the ruling force in vampire society, althoughTwilightdepicts political tension derived from conflicts between different covens and recruiting members with specific powers. They are among the minorTwilightcharacters the TV remake can further explore, delving into the intricacies of being one of the most powerful vampires in fiction.

14Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård)
From True Blood

He has had more time than most to amass the power and skills that make him one of the most powerful players in the series.Eric is at one point referred to as the most powerful vampire in Louisianaand physically tears apart other strong adversaries. He might not be quite as strong as the few vampires who are older than him, but he also has the rare ability of flight. The fact that something this scarce manifested in Eric also proves his power.

13Alucard (James Callis/Shinichiro Miki)
From Castlevania & Castlevania: Nocture
As the half-vampire son of Dracula and his wife Lisa,Adrian"Alucard"Tepes inherited most vampiric strengths but not the weaknesses.He is immune to vampire bites and seemingly stronger and faster than most other vampires. He is the one to kill his father, albeit with help fromTrevor and Sypha, and his father not being in the most combat-ready mindset at the time. However, Alucard once dramatically told an opponent:"[…] if you fight me, you will die, like thousands of vampires before you.“This reveals that he outranks most others of his kind.
12Alpha Vampire (Rick Worthy)
From Supernatural
Vampires are just some of the monsters the Winchesters encounter during their travels, but the Alpha Vampire outclasses them all, as his title suggests.Supernaturaladheres to the common vampire logic that older vampires are stronger,and since the Alpha is the first vampire, he is therefore the strongest. In addition to his usual vampire abilities being greater than most, he has a variety of powers unique to him, including claws, telepathy, and a connection to the Mother of All. The Alpha Vampire is eventually killed by Sam Winchester, notably not by another vampire.
From Dracula Untold
The action sequences inDracula Untoldsuggest that this version of Dracula is pretty much indestructible,despite conventional vampire weaknesses playing a role in the story. This movie shows Dracula literally leveling armies; had he taken it upon himself to go straight to the enemy and kill all their soldiers, the movie might have ended differently because it suggests they wouldn’t have stood a chance. Dracula can be warded off by silver and crucifixes, but during this movie, he mostly powers through it. He narrowly survives being burned away by sunlight, showcasing his near indestructibility.
10Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise/Sam Reid)
From Interview With The Vampire
Lestat is a vampiric literary icon and is considered the most powerful vampire in existence in the story he is in.Lestat has strength and enhanced senses beyond the norm for vampires,as well as some telepathic abilities. He is not completely invulnerable, as Louis and Claudia are able to overpower him. However, Lestat is also one of the most intelligent and manipulative vampires ever. While Louis may have briefly beaten Lestat at his own game, Lestat still comes back in both the movie and TV show adaptations of Anne Rice’s books.
9Godric (Allan Hyde)
Godric is twice as old as Eric, one of the vampires he created during his 2,000 years. A few other vampires are introduced inTrue Bloodwho are even older than Godric but aren’t given the chance to prove that they could defeat him.While Eric may seem like a threat, Godric is still physically strongerthan him. Godric is never defeated, as he chooses to end his vampire existence on his own terms. Godric spent most of his vampire life using his strength to hunt humans. However, he eventually became compassionate towards them before deciding he had lived long enough.
8Benjamin (Rami Malek)
After Alec and Jane,Benjamin has one of the most offensively useful gifts inTwilight.He can control all the elements, summoning fire and destroying earth in massive displays of power. It is already unique inTwilightlore because of what a visual ability it is, while the series had previously suggested an idea of most gifts being telepathic. However, thefake-out battle inTwilight’s final movie(which could have actually happened in the story) shows Benjamin opening up a huge chasm in the ground, something completely unrivaled in the series.
7Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan)
From The Vampire Diaries & The Originals
TheOriginal family of vampiresis already immune to regular stakes and can compel other vampires, but Klaus has the combined abilities of a werewolf. Klaus is physically stronger than most other beings in the series; when someone shows up to challenge him, there is usually a long creation process to explain how they have the strength to do this.Klaus certainly has the attitude of someone who considers himself the ruling force in the supernatural world,generally expecting that most people will bend to him. Most of the time, his complete callousness about destroying enemies is proof enough.
The Vampire Diaries Universe: 20 Most Powerful Vampires
From the Original family to the Salvatore brothers and the doppelgänger, these are the most powerful vampires in The Vampire Diaries universe.
6Lilith (Jessica Clark)
Lilith is the Original equivalent inTrue Blood, the first vampire who spawned off the rest of vampire kind. Like other first vampires in fiction, she inherently ranks above all those who come after her. While Lilith technically met her end fairly early on when she was destroyed by her vampire progeny, her true power is illustrated in how she continues to play a role in the series.A remnant of Lilith’s blood is kept by other vampires throughout the ages until some of them drink it,resulting in them receiving visions of Lilith and her manifesting herself through Bill.
