How is Talos not powerful? Talos is awesome.

1) Tamriel is roughly the size of Europe. Talos conquered all of it within a year. Has anyone even come close to conquering all of Europe? NO! Hitler couldn't. Napoleon couldn't. Charlemagne couldn't. And none of them had magic or living gods to fight against in the process.

2) he achieved CHIM. Only two beings in the entire history of the universe have successfully achieved CHIM, Talos and Vivec. He made an entire jungle disappear into thin air.

3) In addition to achieving CHIM, he was granted Devine status by the Aedra. But in the process he became more powerful than the Aedra because he was not bound to the mortal plain, like a Daedra accept good.

4) he is also a Dragonborn and (possibly) a reincarnation of Lorkhan, an already powerful being.

Second would be Akatosh because he controls time.
