They are all Maiar [In reply to] Can't Post

Without going into much detail, putting aside "who is the most powerful" I will say that the "Essense of many of these characters is that of Maia, so who is actually the Michael Jordan of the group, I'm not really sure, but the balrigs and gandalf and sauron, etc... Equal in making. Sarumam "was" more powerful then gandalf, but eventually loses that title. And in the silmarillion it is stated that sauron of the Maia may have been worse the melkor himself exile of the valar and former Vala himself. So any of these characters have the potential to be the "strongest" or most "powerful". Orcs can slay gandalf and he is of the Maia, yet he could contest sauron but he doesn't, he has the power, but that us not gandalf a purpose. Even the "eagles" are Maia, they are on the same level as balrogs and wizards and such. In the silmarillion, of all the elves that lusted for the silmarils, it was a weak man that took the first one from morgoth. The bilbo saves the day, frodo, Sam and gollum destroy the ring. The weak play bigger roles, who's most powerful doesn't matter.
