In terms of power, the last dragonborn is the most powerful protagonist from day 1. All the player characters, once maxed out gain godlike powers and possibly the power to overcome them, case in point, Nerevarine defeats dagoth and almalexia, and CoC defeats Ulmaril and then ascends to the station of a daedric prince. But the Last Dragonborn, we're lead to believe from ingame sources is special, he could be manteling or is an aspect of the oversoul of Talos since there's a ghost in Old Hroldan inn that makes no distinction between you and Hjalti Early beard, and we know from experience from playing the game that Ghosts don't tend to mistake people for who they are not, case in point with Kodlak in his afterlife. If TLD is a Shezzarine and at the same time having a dragonsoul, he's part of the same duality that drove pelinal insane, but I don't think he is a shezzarine myself. I think he is an aspect of Talos or manteling the oversoul of talos.

The points of TLD walking like Talos are as follows

He tames a red dragon, like we see in TES: redguard that tiber septim had one.

He is asked to betray his mentor in the voice and good friend Paarthurnax, a close comparison to how Tiber Septim betrayed Ysmir.

He ascends to Sovngarde and we find the throne of shor empty, One that Talos should by all rights be perched on since he took Lorkhans place.

He kills the current ruler of tamriel, and thus also skyrim's ruler, as the Arcturian Heresy says that Tiber did pretty much the same.

He is named Ysmir by the greybeards

he even meets another Dragonborn, from whom we absorb both the knowledge and soul from.
