....but if men are scared of powerful females, wouldn't that be a pyschological power, not physical?

My vote also goes for Tulkas, or Morgoth...I haven't read Sil yet, so I'm not quite certain.

Eonwe. He captured Morgoth and cast down Thangorodrim, something the Valar didn't do.

2. Melkor/Morgoth- Was very powerful. Most everyone feared him.

1. Manwë- I would definitely say he was most powerful.

Call me old fashioned, but I think psychology is magic... and it scares me alot.

I would have to agree with Nimrodel on this one. Manwë was definitely the most powerful. Yes, he and Melkor were of equal strength at first but then Melkor fell to darkness and that was his own undoing.

Definitely Melkor! Since he's my master, I should definitely know....

I'm going to go slightly off-topic here and say that Melian was pretty powerful, not the most powerful, but fairly powerful. She controlled the borders of Doriath with the Girdle of Melian and kept the forces of Morgoth at bay, while still keeping Doriath looking like an elf-haven. Pretty good house keeping skills, I'd say. She also influenced Elu Thingol and seemed kind of like a person (elf) who wouldn't allow anyone's opinions to influence him. She's kind of a "pillow-talk" elf which I would say is a pretty powerful thing and I'd say that most of the ladies in here would agree. She's like the ultimate house wife! I bet the boys from Queer Eye are jealous.

Of course He Who Arises in Might was the mightiest, what was that comment when Feanor shut the door in his face, well anyway that was before he spent his power making balrogs, dragons and general shenanigans.
