He is Klaus' former protege and was the king of New Orleans. He was introduced as the main antagonist of The Originals due to his diabolical tactics to keep his position of power and has shown to be a major enemy of Klaus as Klaus gave the impression that he would exploit Rebekah.
Mikael has proved many times that he's stronger than Klaus, and of course much more powerful than his other children. Many fans have questioned this detail, but it makes sense. Mikael was already a revered Viking warrior when he was turned by Esther into an original vampire, while Klaus was an untriggered werewolf.
For pretty much all of Klaus' vampire life, Mikael was the only man who was physically capable of fighting Klaus, who actually had the drive and determination to kill him, and most importantly had the only weapon that could actually kill Klaus.
Esther is, along with Mikael, one of the two beings that Klaus truly feared; Klaus is only afraid of Esther, because she knows the Spell that turned him and his half-siblings into vampires, or in Klaus' case into a hybrid, and can turn them back into humans again, or in Klaus' case into a werewolf again; however, ...
Of all the Original siblings, Klaus was the most dominant. He was the first ever vampire and werewolf Hybrid, and the combination of two deadly races meant Klaus was unbeatable for a long time. By virtue of being the oldest vamp, he was super fast and strong, with the ability to compel even vampires to do his bidding.
With the death of Mikael, Klaus Mikaelson, Elijah Mikaelson, Lucien Castle, Alaric Saltzman, and Finn Mikaelson, Hope is now the strongest creature on the planet only rivaled by the last remaining Originals ie; Rebekah and Kol Mikaelson but possesses an edge over them to her hybrid nature and her only equal is possibly ...
Although his brother Klaus might technically be stronger — Klaus is half vampire, half werewolf — Elijah is the most powerful. Other traits to note: He is level-headed.
Lucien Castle was proven to be much stronger than even Original vampires after he was "upgraded". He was able to overwhelm both Finn and Elijah with ease, and later defeat Klaus, the Original hybrid, effortlessly.
Freya Was the Best Mikaleson Sibling
Freya being the best Mikaelson sibling is a no-brainer. However, for additional arguments, here is Freya's backstory to refresh our minds and some valid points to prove what we all know. Esther was initially barren, which led her to strike a deal with her evil sister Dahlia.
Elijah. Elijah is known to have more strategic plans than the others, and he is fairly intelligent. He is also the most humane vampire of the bunch, and he tends to plan before he takes action, and does not let his emotions get in his way.
1. Klaus Mikaelson. Let us start with the OG Originals as they are the heart and soul of this series. The legend that is Klaus Mikaelson comes in first, as his tortured spirit, questionable ethics, and pure devotion to his family make him an interesting character.
Klaus Mikaelson is the strongest of the Originals. His powers are more advanced and potent than that of his Original siblings, including his step-father, because of his Werewolf side. Unlike hybrids and Werewolves, his venom works twice as fast which makes it more lethal than that of regular Wolf or Hybrid venom.
The writers usually spell out things that important “originals grow stronger with age”, but they never did because originals are already the strongest they could ever be. Only modifications enhances them. The spell just made them more resilient and able to compel their progeny, it didnt put them at peak.
Klaus is ruthless and brutal towards his enemies, and he rarely shows any of his enemies mercy. Also if anyone tries to hurt or kill a member of his family, most of them will not live to regret it.
As the Original Hybrid, Klaus is the strongest of the Original vampires due to his Werewolf heritage giving him additional powers and advantages his half-siblings do not possess, making him the most physically powerful immortal being in the world, second only to Marcel Gerard.
Season Two. Damon kills Elijah with a stake through his heart. When Damon tried to save Stefan from losing his head, he staked Elijah.
Super Strength: The Original Tribrid is much stronger than Immortals, Supernatural Hunters, non-original vampires, werewolves, non-original hybrids, and humans. They even possess enough strength to overpower an Original Vampire. Who is the strongest hybrid in vampire Diaries?
Klaus is far more powerful than Silas because he's physically the second most powerful thing walking the planet (behind the Beast of the prophecy). Silas wasn't even as strong as a vampire, he's barely stronger than a human.
Similarly, Marcel was also stronger than the Originals and Klaus, fighting them with ease. Super Speed: They are also considerably much faster than most supernatural species seen thus far. They are quite possibly the fastest known creatures as Lucien was able to dodge Klaus' attacks effortlessly.
See, Klaus is an Original Hybrid. That means he is partly an Original vampire (with all the superhuman speed, strength, senses and reflexes of one), partly a werewolf (with the venomous bite and a transformation that he can control at will).
Mikael, after a failed team up with his children against Dahlia, was executed by Klaus for a second time, in order to procure the Viking ash Mikael's corpse would leave behind, to make another weapon against Dahlia, all in front of Freya, which devastated her. Mikael was the patriarch of the Mikaelson Family.
Klaus is about 200 years stronger than Elijah, in vampire strenght, cus of his hybrid side. He is also probably stronger than mikael in raw strenght. Mikael was fighting most of his time chaasing klaus, so he was probably as better fighter.
