Beerus is one of the most powerful characters in the Dragon Ball multiverse, but not every version of the God of Destruction is created equal. Across different timelines and alternate continuities, Beerus has proven time and time again just how terrifying a Destroyer can be when their full power is unleashed.
While Dragon Ball Super‘s Beerus remains a benchmark for Goku and Vegeta, some versions have pushed the God of Destruction’s abilities even further, showcasing feats that make even his usual displays of power look modest. From alternate incarnations with unrivaled Power Levels to variants who can slay Gods like Zeno, the strongest versions of Beerus stand above everyone in Dragon Ball.

DBZ Beerus is Nothing Compared to Beerus These Days
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F
It’s easy to take for granted, but Beerus was the first Dragon Ball villain who won their arc. At the end of Battle of Gods, Goku fails to defeat Beerus and the God of Destruction destroys the earth (literally a small piece of dirt qualifying as “earth”). It’s a refreshing change of pace that shows off just how utterly outclassed Goku was compared to the God of Destruction.
Akira Toriyama famously destroyed Beerus’ Power Level as being 10/10 in the movie continuity, with Goku’s Power Level being a 6/10 and Whis’ being a 15/10 (to show just how much stronger the Angel was). Unfortunately for Movie Beerus, his story ends at Resurrection F, so he’s be default the single weakest version of Beerus.

Anime Beerus Kept Pushing the Benchmark For Power
Dragon Ball Super Anime, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
Beerus got something of a power boost when Dragon Ball‘s story moved over from movies to an anime. The Dragon Ball Super anime did not follow Toriyama’s suggestion that Beerus’ Power was a 10 and Goku was a 6, instead opting to make Beerus feel more like a 15 and Goku closer to a 2.
Any time Goku catches up to Beerus, the anime makes it painfully clear that the Destroyer is so much stronger than he lets on. Beerus doesn’t have too much to do in Dragon Ball Super‘s back-half, but he kills Zamasu with a Hakai and clearly has a lot of power hidden away. That said, his best feats are still to come in Dragon Ball Super 2.

Remake Beerus Showed Off Ultra Ego Out of Nowhere
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus hasn’t even finished remaking Battle of Gods yet, but the anime has already shown off one of the strongest versions of Beerus in the entire franchise. In Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5, Beerus actually used Ultra Ego against Super Saiyan God during their fight. He doesn’t call it such, but it’s obvious what form he’s using.
The fact that Beerus is already showing Ultra Ego is a good sign that he’ll be even stronger in the remake. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has heavily implied that the remake is following the manga’s power scaling, but the addition of Ultra Ego throws a serious spanner in the works. Of course, Beerus is holding back against Goku the whole time, so the fact he isn’t immediately killed by Ultra Ego Beerus does have an obvious in-universe explanation.

Manga Beerus Knows Ultra Instinct
Dragon Ball Super Manga
Anime Beerus will likely surpass his manga counterpart once Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol finally releases, but until then, Manga Beerus reigns supreme. By far the biggest difference between Manga Beerus and other versions of the God of Destruction is that this variant actually knows how to use Ultra Instinct.
Toyotarou reveals in the Universe Survival Saga that Whis taught Beerus the Angelic form. In the Dragon Ball Super manga’s Zeno Exhibition Match, all of the Destroyers fight in a battle royale that Beerus effortlessly sweeps simply by using Ultra Instinct. Goku and Vegeta are getting close to being strong enough for their final rematch with Beerus, but it won’t be so easy in the manga timeline.

CC Beerus is Overpowered Beyond Belief
Super Dragon Ball Heroes
Super Dragon Ball Heroes is home to what is quite possibly the most overpowered universe in anime history: the Capsule Corp Timeline. The CC Timeline is a branch of the Dragon Ball multiverse where almost every single story in the series happened, from most of the anime series, to all of the movies, and even some OVAs. The end result is Goku and the rest of the cast becoming stronger than they’ve ever been – and that includes Beerus.
CC Beeurs is in a league of his own. Even with how overpowered CC Goku has gotten, he canonically does not have a high enough Power Level to beat Beerus yet – this is despite the fact CC Goku would be able to sweep the main Dragon Ball Super timeline, including Zeno. Perhaps CC Beerus’ greatest fear is one-shotting Super Saiyan Blue CC Goku in the SDBH manga,

Whirus is the Most Powerful Being in Existence
Dragon Ball Fusions
EX-Fusion is an artificial form of Fusion created by Bulma. By wearing an EX Bracelet, multiple participants can fuse together via EX-Fusion. Not just that, EX-Fusion removes the Power Level balance required for the Metamoran Fusion Dance and the permanence of the Potara earrings for Gods. Best of all, EX-Fusion has no time limit whatsoever and can be defused at will, and only at the cost of a slightly lower multiplier than other forms of Fusion.

Beerus and Whis actually fuse together via EX-Fusion in Dragon Ball Fusion, becoming the most powerful fusion and being in the entire Dragon Ball multiverse. CC Goku may have the craziest feats in anime history, but Whirus is half Beerus and half Whis – equal parts the strongest God of Destroyer and the strongest Angel. It goes without saying, but Whirus is functionally unbeatable and he would be able to sweep the entire Dragon Ball Super cast if he made it to the main timeline.
