Summary
- Beerus is considered the most powerful God of Destruction since he has the ability to use Ultra Instinct.
- Broly’s potential may allow him to eventually surpass Beerus, since Goku believed he could be stronger.
- Black Frieza is speculated to at least match Beerus’ strength by overpowering Goku and Vegeta.
Among the Dragon Ball fandom, it is widely believed that Beerus is the most powerful God of Destruction in the series and may just be the strongest non-Angel character after Zeno as well. The main reason for this is the fact that he serves as a moving goalpost for Goku and Vegeta as well as being the only Destroyer who can use Ultra Instinct at all, which was seen in the exhibition match where he was the last Destroyer standing.
This match was essential for allowing fans to gauge just how strong Beerus was, and he proved his strength by defeating all other Gods of Destruction. Despite this, however, many fans believe that there are a few mortals in Dragon Ball who may be able to match up to the deity of Universe 7, so in this article, let’s break down who they may be and if they could even surpass Beerus in strength.

Broly Has Unrivaled And Limitless Potential
Likelihood Of Being Stronger: Low

Broly Arc |
Broly has always been a fan-favorite character but was only officially added to the canon of the series with the 2018 movie. The main reason why most put him in the conversation of mortals who may be able to match or succeed Beerus in strength is because of a line that Goku stated at the end of the film, where he straight up said Broly may just be stronger than Beerus. However, Dragon Ball is no stranger to retcons, and this fact has since been changed to make Beerus even stronger.
I was so sure my strength was getting close to its peak, but then this guy showed up and was so much stronger than me! And he’s a Saiyan, just like I am. He’s probably even stronger than Beerus!
As of where the story is right now, Broly has just gotten the hang of his powers, where he fully manifests the strength of his Legendary Super Saiyan state into a controlled Super Saiyan form. Due to the recency of acquiring this power, Broly isn’t on the same level as Beerus. However, his potential is insane, so it’s very possible that if he continues to grow at such a rate, he may eventually become stronger than the God of Destruction.
- Goku claimed he might be stronger.
- Broly’s potential could close the gap between him and Beerus quite quickly.
Vegito And Gogeta Are Fusions Of Goku And Vegeta
Likelihood Of Being Stronger: Mid-High

The fusions between Goku and Vegeta are some of the most beloved characters in the entire series, despite not having a lot of appearances. When it comes to debating whether these two are stronger than Beerus, it remains one of the most divisive topics in the entire Dragon Ball community, which is mostly because of the retcons the series has done regarding the strength of various characters. The main point here is that if the fusions were made with Super Saiyan Blue, then the resulting combatant would still be weaker than the Destroyer.
Our strengths aren’t just added together, they’re significantly magnified!
However, this is different at the current stage of the story. Since Goku and Vegeta have both unlocked the Divine Technique of the Angels and Gods of Destruction respectively, they are each closer to the power of Beerus than ever before. So, if they fuse while in these states, they will birth a warrior with the best defense and offense possible due to mastery over Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego. Because of this, this version of Vegito or Gogeta would likely be far stronger than Beerus.
- The fusions were weaker at earlier stages in the story.
- However, due to Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, they’re likely stronger now.

Black Frieza May Already Be Stronger Than Beerus

In the eyes of most fans, the mortal with the highest chance of defeating the Destroyer God of Universe 7 is none other than perhaps the greatest villain in the entire series; Black Frieza. Due to being brought back to life after the Tournament of Power and being allowed to rampage across the universe, Frieza eventually came across a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where he got in 10 years’ worth of training. This training, combined with his insane potential, gave birth to his most powerful transformation.
Meet Black Frieza. Achieving this form took plenty of toil, I’ll have you know!
This form was Black Frieza, which proved to be powerful enough to defeat Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta with a single punch, while also destroying Gas in just one strike, who was the universe’s strongest mortal at that point. The reason why many believe he can, at least, match up to Beerus is that Goku and Vegeta were both using Divine Techniques when they faced the Frost Demon, to which he simply defeated them with barely any effort. Though more of this form needs to be seen, Black Frieza is likely on Beerus’s level of strength.
- Black Frieza defeated Goku and Vegeta’s strongest states in one punch.
- Could have killed them if he wanted to.
Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
