so as we know there have been 3 diffrent lich king’s (ner’zul, arthas and now blovar) but who is the most powerful one i know arthas was quite powerful since he became an world ending threat and bolvar got pretty much butcherd in the shadowlands trailer but ner’zul how was he as a lich king was he powerful more powerful than arthas as we know ner’zul was the first lich king and then after his souls got completly merged with the helmet of domination
Arthas was the strongest cause he was also the first Lich King who weared both Lich King artifacts whole the others only had just the helmet of domination.

Ner’zul was more of entity captured inside the throne, he built the foundation and his own psychic powers. Gave the way for Arthas to take over.
And it was Arthas who was the most powerful Lich King, because he had a goal and a vision, personal motiveswhen he ascended. Defied his masters and to what he was “made” to be. Achieved most of his goals and brought champions to their knees, if not for Tirions sudden intervention, he would have had Azeroths most powerful force at his disposal. He was more calculating, strategic and pragmatic, while Bolvar acted as jailer of damned. For me Bolvar was more dutiful then anything. In his reign he hasnt done anything significant, until someone more powerful then him took that power from him.
So yeah Arthas - hands down!

Nerzhul wasn’t powerful until he merged with Arthas whom then became the true Lich King,
Bolvar only controlled the scourge and inherited the knowledge that the helmet possessed over death, it’s power was increase is limited due to lack of frostmourne.

Arthas. He was the only Lich King to interrupt Horde vs Alliance…
Ner ‘Zhul wasn’t exactly a Lich King…
Bolvar… Let’s say “Tell them that the Lich King is dead… And that Bolvar Fordragon died with him” is finally true.
Arthas. But even he was powerless without Frostmourne. So I don’t mind him much.
Arthas was definitely the most powerful because he had Frostmourne. He was also a healthy young man whereas Nerzhul was a ghost trapped in a block of ice and Bol’var was on fire.
Was he tho? We know he alone is weaker then a wild god. Which there are hundreds
His army ? His army can’t really do much against the dragons who just finished their nexus war and would now have time to join the fight.
And worst case, Deathwing would awaken anyway and eat the scourge alive.
Arthas never was World ending, only dangerous for the mortal kingdoms
It depends on if Arthas actually got Ner’zhuls mind powers or not because he never used them.
If he didn’t the Ner’zhul, if he did then Arthas.

What the hell ?
First of all. Ner zhul FEELLT. His mind expending by tenthousand. That doesn’t mean it did. Malfurion was connected to the whole of Azeroth in the war and it did nothing for his mind or power
Also even with such a mind, he needed Arthas.
Stop making stupid rules about the lich king which can’t be proven by lore
“Ner’zhul began to reach out his vast consciousness and touch the minds of Northrend’s native inhabitants. With surprising ease, he enslaved the minds of many indigenous creatures, such as ice trolls and the fierce wendigo and drew their evil brethren into his growing shadow. He found that his psychic powers were almost limitless.”
“The Lich King himself brooded within the tight, shadowy confines of the Frozen Throne. Despite his vast psychic powers and his complete dominion over the undead.”
I fail to see why this would diminish Ner’zhuls power. That is like saying Arthas needed Uther’s and Muradin’s training to become a good Paladin/Warrior.
Fun fact, everyone with power needs someone or something. The Void Lords are basically the most powerful things in the Warcraft-Universe needs to create minions for them to be able to break free of their dimension.
Huh?

For example that Arthas wasn’t using ner zhuls power to it’s fullest. It was never even implied
I don’t get what you mean by this. What rules am I making? Whether or not Arthas got Ner’zhuls powers?
It just makes you wonder whether or not he inherited them powers if they were never used again. Like the quote I linked, Ner’zhuls Psychic powers were so strong yet Arthas as the LK never used them (or at least to the extent which Ner’zhul did).
This was also during the time where the original LK story was that Arthas killed Ner’zhul to become the dominant ruler in the crown rather than having a mental battle with Ner’zhul for 15 years. So this just murks the water even further.
But regardless, even going by the current version of the LK the fact he doesn’t use Ner’zhuls powers either leaves him inconsistent or that he never got them. If you prefer the inconsistent side then go ahead.
