DC: 6 Strongest Versions Of Harley Quinn, Ranked

Harley Quinn is Joker’s lackey no more, and for almost the past 2 decades in DC Comics, Harley has been a solo act, often fighting good and evil to her heart’s content by herself or with her girlfriend, Poison Ivy. Harley isn’t just a great gymnast and a therapist with her license since revoked, and she’s actually had a fair amount of superpowers in the pages of DC Comics.

Harley Quinn is certainly a character that doesn’t shy away from insanity, and fans of the character don’t just have to rely on her fourth-wall-breaking quips and unpredictable charm to see how she gets the job done. Harley’s adventures are plentiful, providing the Multiverse with some truly incredible Harley Quinn variants and experiences.

6 New 52 Harley Quinn

The Standard Yet Brilliant Harley Quinn

• Featured in: Harley Quinn #0
• Creators: Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti

There isn’t anything inherently special about the Harley Quinn from the New 52 era. Whilst she doesn’t have superpowers, she does have an amazing talent for acrobatics and an immunity to poisons thanks to a special cocktail whipped up by Poison Ivy. This invulnerability provides Harley with even more opportunities to get into mischief.

Harley from the main continuity is extremely strong, and her training in Task Force X only heightens her strength and gymnastics. However, she’s still not as strong as she could be if she was given literal superpowers.

5 Injustice Harley Quinn

The Strength Of Kryptonians Is Gifted To Harley Thanks To A Special Pill

• Featured in: Injustice: Gods Among Us #1
• Creators: Tom Taylor, Axel Gimenez, Mike S. Miller, Jheremy Raapack

The Multiverse can hold many dark realities, and one such exists in the Injustice universe where Superman becomes an evil tyrant after the Joker and Harley Quinn nuke Metropolis and kill his wife and unborn child. With Superman on the warpath, Batman allows Harley to join his team as a redeemed version of herself.

Yet, to stop death by a mere punch, Harley’s going to need to become indestructible, which is why she takes a Kryptonian nanotech drug to enhance her strength and durability, allowing her to literally rip the head off of the immortal Lobo among other feats.

4 Red and Black Lantern Harley Quinn

A Harley Quinn Who Has Combined The Might And Evil Of Red & Black Lantern Rings

When an alien cube holding Lantern rings crashes on Earth, the Black Lantern and Red Lantern rings inside fuse together to create a Black and Red Lantern ring. This ring is then purchased on eBay by Harley for five grand, and once she puts it on her finger, she is transformed into an invincible force of evil.

The Lantern Corps in the DC comics are some of the most powerful factions, but not all of them are created equal.

This powerful version of Harley Quinn was able to use both rings combined into one to become a deadly vigilante. She would brutally kill those who did wrong, but she also didn’t mind indulging in setting her city on fire. The rings were corruptible, and thanks to Hal Jordan’s help, she was able to overcome their evil desires.

3 Shazam Harley

Black Adam’s Fiancée, Bestowed The Powers Of Shazam

• Featured in: Strange Love Adventures
• Creators: Stephanie Phillips, Jon Sommariva

Harley has always been an unreliable narrator, which is why when she tells Ivy the story of Black Adam and his proposal to her, it’s hard to know if it’s true or not. Regardless, Harley manages to tell a pretty convincing story that involves Black Adam proposing to her, and providing her with the powers of Shazam to be his bride.

6 Best DC Female Anti-Heroes, Ranked

DC Comics has many interesting female characters, and these anti-heroes blur the line between heroism and villainy, in all the best ways.

With these powers, Harley was able to match the might of Shazam with lightning abilities and the power of flight. However, Harley’s time as Shazam was pretty short-lived, and it’s impossible to see if she truthfully had these powers or if it was just one of her illustrious fan fiction pieces.

2 Hammer Harleen

The Latest And Least Sane Member Of Darkseid’s Female Furies

• Featured in: Harley Quinn #45
• Creators: Sam Humphries, John Timms

Reeling from grief, Harley Quinn is manipulated by Granny Goodness into joining the Female Furies. Granny Goodness is impressed with Harley’s strength, and believing she can be molded into the perfect weapon, she brings her to Darkseid’s Fourth World planet of Apokolips, where she takes the title of Hammer Harleen.

Harley is armed with a giant Fourth World hammer and a set of armor that allows her to easily release terror into the universe. Harley was always strong, but the powers of this Apokolips Hammer infused her with even more strength, which just aids her crazed personality.

1 Multiverse-Breaking Harley Quinn

The Powers To Tap Into The Multiverse Are Bestowed To Harley Based On Madness

• Featured in: Knight Terrors: Harley Quinn #2
• Creators: Tini Howard, Hayden Sherman

Harley can never seem to catch a break, but that might actually benefit her. It’s a wild ride, but in her own solo series, Harley somehow managed to conjure up a multiverse fish out of thin air. These powers went unexplained for quite some time, but when Harley was trapped in an endless nightmare, she managed to develop an understanding of this new power, which basically meant Harley could indulge in the multiverse due to her madness.

Harley’s trips through the multiverse meant she could essentially break it, hopping through different universes to see what mischief she could conjure or absorb. Even in dream worlds, Harley was able to develop superpowers, and become a protector of the multiverse.
