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.

I still hold to what I said b4. Melkor was the greatest but once he fell he became less than Manwe.

Mumaks, Shelob, Ungoliant, Balrogs, Dragons, etc. The topic's about sheer power, and these dudes have just that.

Interestingly enough, in a discussion about the power of the fea of Men, Nienna says that the valar hold Mandos to be the most powerful:

Mandos you hold to be the strongest of all that are in Arda, being the least moved, and therefore you have dared to commit even the Marrer himself to his keeping.

Since this post is limited to Physical power, I'm gonna have to say Tulkas. Not Melkor, Tulkas beated the crap out of that guy...... Manwë didn't do that either...
