    I have my mind on the Spectre after seeing his fight with Shazam but he was unable to kill the phantom stranger so they're definitely up there

    Spectre already won when they fought - he just wasn't able to kill the Stranger, so he turned him into a mouse.

    Didn't he get powered up or something during that event? Actually he probably didn't, NVM.

    But if we're talking more "human" people, then Dr. Fate would be the right answer?

    Spectre (generally) has a human host. Dr. Fate is powered by Nabu but has a human host, just as the host of the Spectre is powered by the fallen angel Aztar.

    While she doesn't have the degree of mastery as most of the other magic users, I think Black Alice is technically the most powerful simply because she can 'borrow' powers…such as the Spectre's.
    She tried to do that to the Spectre. Didn't work out very well; she took his power, but she could not harm him.

    yes I do remember this one from before, so this will get locked, let me say though that I think there is a difference between mystic and magic.  I think Spectre and the Phantom Stranger or more mystic.  They can come and go from heaven or hell.  So I think in terms of pure magic power, Doctor Fate is probably the most powerful, or specifically whoever controls the helmet of Nabu

    Yes, I know, but most of the time, this Aztar, is the person whose personality shows off, the human host is just kinda there. Dr. Fate on the otherhand is a more mainstream character, who is a lot of the time part of JSA and, y'know its the host that shows most of the time.

    What I'm trying to get at is that the spectre is generally protrayed more as an "entity" while Dr. Fate as a hero/human.

    Probably the Spectre, but if you don't count him since he's like a ghostly demi-god, then probably Phantom Stranger, then Dr. Fate, then Zatanna

    Day of Vengeance. Spectre fought Shazam, Phantom Stranger, Dr. Fate, and multiple other beings. He killed Shazam, turned Phantom Stranger into a mouse, and sealed Fate within his own helmet.

    I was thinking Dr. Fate, Black Alice, or Zatanna since I consider Spectre and Phantom Stranger more spirit-like.

    Yes, in Day of Vengeance - Spectre won, but said that Phantom Stranger could not be killed due to his role in the universe (or something like that), so he severely weakened him and turned him into a mouse.
