Lord Of The Rings: 25 Most Powerful Beings In The Tolkien Universe, Ranked

The most powerful Lord of the Rings characters are some of the most powerful in all fantasy. Most of the ones J.R.R. Tolkien wrote about, or at least the ones with which audiences are most familiar, walked Middle-earth in the so-called “Third Age” and are featured or mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Rings of Power. The brave hobbits themselves, especially Frodo, are some of the truest, most tenacious, most strong-willed characters in the saga. Yet Frodo was chosen as Ring Bearer precisely because he was not conventionally “powerful,” so that even if the Ring corrupted him, he would not be able to cause much harm.
