How powerful is Xemnas?

[King Arthur 36]

So I've been thinking about this for a long time, but just how strong is Xemnas, specifically the fully powered xemnas after absorbing kingdom hearts in KH 2.  So first off even without fusing with kingdom hearts, Xemnas already had enough power to be able to lift entire sky scrapers at will as well as his ethereal blades and the explosive electricity balls he can create from his hands, plus he has the power to drain the life out of those he catches in his curse ability.  Also, before absorbing Kingdom hearts, Xemnas already had the power to create arenas and spaces in which he would fight his opponents.(but all Org. members do this anyway so its not that special), however after absorbing kingdom hearts, he has the ability to control the world of nothingness itself(thats what the dragon is called) and from the battle, we see he has the power to create monumental structure out of the world around him, Not only that, but he can control and use all the organizations weapons without even holding them.  This is where it gets interesting, after Xemnas has the world of nothingness battle Sora and Riku while flying and the world of nothingness crashes down, he can create a vortex in the sky  powerful enough to rip buildings from the ground and in this fight since there is a floor to the area you fight xemnas, even though sora and riku are looking down in this fight, then that means that Xemnas can also manipulate gravity as well.  One last thing I believe that Xemnas created most of the world of Nothingness by himself, considering the final arena is a white and grey checkered void, then I believe where Sora and Riku are fighting is the world that never was in its most basic form within the realm of nothingness, and Xemnas created the world that never was from that blank template.  After more nobodies began to be created, Xemnas orders them to make him their lord and construct a castle in his honor.   personally think that Xemnas was far stronger than Ansem SoD was and by himself probably could've achieved Xeahnorts goals if given enough time and if Sora and Riku weren't around.  Overall I'd like to know if anyone agrees with me about how powerful Xemnas is and see where you would put him in terms of ability and overall power in comparison to other characters or whatever.

There was a very old interview after KH2 came out where Nomura did state that Xemnas was the most powerful being in the story, but now I don't think that holds much water, the MoM is probably stronger.

That being said he's still incredibly strong in the kh universe. I think it should be noted that we have yet to see Xemnas's full potential, and he has yet to use the keyblade that Nomura implies he is capable of using.

-- Roxas, the "Sora + Ventus" Nobody, was able to use a Keyblade. In contrast Xemnas, the "Terra + Master Xehanort" Nobody, wasn't able to use a Keyblade. Why is this?

 

Nomura: I'd rather that point remain a mystery. It's possible that he intentionally wasn't using one.

 

I'm inclined to believe that Xemnas has yet to reach his full potential, as a lot of his actions almost imply that Xemnas actually has no idea what he's doing and its more or less Xigbar pulling the strings- at least I was under this impression. Or Nomura could have just been saying some random fluff that amounts to nothing so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well I think in Xemnas' case it might be different, because I believe Xemnas was resisting gaining a replacement heart because unlike Axel, Xion, and Roxas.  Xemnas does not try to show emotion.  So perhaps Xemnas is plagued by terras memories because we see him talk to aquas armor and call it friend so perhaps xemnas believes if he gained a replacement heart, Terra would try to take back control of his body.  So instead Xemnas opts to make his own heart using kingdom hearts, and gain his full power that way.

Well, there's no doubt in my mind that Xemnas is undeniably strong, and yet, for all the strength we see him possess, I believe that he is still holding back! Even with everything we've seen, I believe that he still has much to show! And the fact that he can apparently wield a Keyblade if he so wishes makes things more interesting! It makes me wonder if he'll finally get about to wielding one in Kingdom Hearts III! Heaven knows what power he could unleash with a Keyblade in his hand!
