15 Most Powerful Hunter X Hunter Characters Ranked

By Mia Tucker

The Zoldyck family of assassins may be the greatest assassin family in the "Hunter x Hunter" world. We first get a glimpse of them when Gon meets Killua, the only other kid in the Hunter Test who is stronger than the grownups. He's also preternaturally adept at assassin skills. Later, we meet the eldest living member of the family after they bring Killua back into the fold: Zeno. Actually, the family is torturing Killua for leaving the family to take the test but Zeno tells them to stop torturing him. Zeno is old, and smaller than his lion-maned son Silva. Yet don't let that fool you: Zeno is a SAVAGE.

To start, he can change his aura into the form of a massive dragon. His Nen abilities are amazing, obviously, but so is his ability to understand Nen, like when he deduces Chrollo's multiple conditions for stealing somebody's abilities. He is so strong that many people compare him to Chairman Netero, and Zeno is confident enough to admit that, while he has known Netero for many years, he's not at the same level. The sign of a true warrior is admitting one's own shortcomings. He is also a man of principle, shaken to the point of leaving the battle against the Chimera Ants when he thinks he has injured a civilian he was not hired to kill. Silva may be physically stronger — taking in the whole package, however, Zeno has the advantage.
