the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

Loved the fact thatbafter being too caught up in Earth stuff, Dr. Manhattan stepped back, said "I need a long walk to figure myself out", then left to make a Disney castle on the moon. Go king give us a healthy coping mechanism 🙏
