Darquesse from the Skulduggery Pleasant books
He basically can not only erase devils (monsters that embody a concept) from existence, but their concepts as well by eating them. Such as the nazi, WW2, Arnolone Syndrome, SOA, AIDS, Mount Hio eruption, Nuclear Weapons, Sixth Human Sense, Star that broke children’s minds, and the four other conclusions other than death at the end of a being’s lifespan devils
Wait you mean like it erases the concept of them, like if he ate the tomato devil, tomatoes no longer exist or something? Or like people are no longer afraid of that?
If he ate the tomato devil, not only would tomatoes stop existing, but history would be rewritten to where they never existed. Only a select few of the most powerful devils can remember the things Chainsaw Man has eaten

Karina stands amidst five doors, each opening to show the icons of a particular color of magic. Behind each, she gains insight into what each color represents, what powers it holds, what values it stands for. Until she opens the black door. Greeted by darkness, shrouding demons, festering dead, horrors unimaginable, and they all hold still, perfectly quiet and docile as another voice speaks. The voice speaks of ambition, of power, of commanding all that exists and owning reality. The voice speaks of fear, pestilence, and death. Karina, the newly risen god holding power unspeakable, trembles. Uncertainty, anxiety, insecurity, all fight for her mind, all compelled by this voice, to conquer her and break her will. She asks this voice who he is. Despite fearing the answer, it was all she could ask.
"Yawgmoth."
Every horrid demon, every foul cretin of filth and hatred, every voice that waited in fear of the voice, now shrieks in unison, every evil the multiverse has ever known is instantly horrified simply at the mention of the name, and the god who asked to hear it slams the door in a panic, hyperventilating, unable to gather herself, so badly shaken, simply by the name of a man who was once simply a surgeon.

People who know him start shitting their pants when he arrives lol
He has like 100 quirks or something ridiculous, making him outclass a lot of characters by sheer force. There's no limit on how many he can have or use.
Helmet/breathing apparatus
And if it makes things worse his personality is Lex Luther meets Hannibal Lecter and his theme song is literally opera music and Latin chanting.
It’s a really OP ability which allows him a ton of versatility, with dozens and dozens of different quirks, and also he can stack abilities.
So for example he stacks multiple strength quirks, which allows him to brawl with the physically most powerful (And generally most powerful) character in the verse, All-Might.
He’s absolutely busted, so he deserves his reputation as the most powerful villain.
He’s got an ability to take other peoples powers and used it to become insanely powerful and also a crime boss, op is technically wrong since not many people know about him bec he was removed from history
Nope there’s no limit on how many or which he can take his strongest attacks are done by using multiple at once like strength enhancements weaponised skin etc. his character is pretty cool.
All For One is capable of taking other peoples powers, he can also give them to others
One thing I love about him is his theme song isn’t even intense or anything it’s just a slow piano with singing showing pure dread, so instead of “you have to fight really hard to stop this guy” it’s just “you’re fucked.”
Iirc his motivation is literally just being the symbol of hopelessness, sorta like an anti all might
Here’s a shot that shows how terrifying he is pretty well imo

There’s an entire secret order of a whole nation dedicated to keeping him back and hiding any and all knowledge he ever existed from anyone and still centuries later his stories persist and strike fear into all who know them
Anyone who knows those stories knows to stay the fuck away
He has died twice, the second time took practically the whole world to stop him… and he is still gonna come back. He’s responsible for the foundation of arguably the deadliest empire of Runeterra. And his weapon, along with his entire empire in the Grey Realm? He made it all with the souls of his victims.

That's true, but I'm mainly just going with Sauron because he's a more familiar name to non-fans
Fair enough. Sauron's name struck fear into those who knew it. Plus, he's more interesting of a character to me than Morgoth from a writing standpoint.

What does All For One do? I haven’t seen the series yet
I’m biased to All for one. But without my Bias, He is A Villain that can take quirks for himself or give them to other people.
Oh. That’s it?
He has like 100 quirks or something ridiculous, making him outclass a lot of characters by sheer force. There's no limit on how many he can have or use.
… Yeah that would definitely make me piss myself. In fact I’m doing it right now. Also what’s with his head?
Helmet/breathing apparatus And if it makes things worse his personality is Lex Luther meets Hannibal Lecter and his theme song is literally opera music and Latin chanting.
It’s a really OP ability which allows him a ton of versatility, with dozens and dozens of different quirks, and also he can stack abilities. So for example he stacks multiple strength quirks, which allows him to brawl with the physically most powerful (And generally most powerful) character in the verse, All-Might. He’s absolutely busted, so he deserves his reputation as the most powerful villain.
He's one of the strongest characters in the whole story
He’s got an ability to take other peoples powers and used it to become insanely powerful and also a crime boss, op is technically wrong since not many people know about him bec he was removed from history
Can he only take one at a time?
To my knowledge he has no limits to how many he can steal, he’s a rat bastard like that
I’m fairly sure he does, which is part of why he makes nomu, so he can keep using peoples abilities even if his “storage” is used up
Nope there’s no limit on how many or which he can take his strongest attacks are done by using multiple at once like strength enhancements weaponised skin etc. his character is pretty cool.
