Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, *****.
Well, that this if you want 110% wizard.
Kvothe the Arcane, the Bloodless, the Kingkiller, Meadre, Sixstring... ∞ if you want awesome person who also happen to know magic very well.
^ this guy wins. /thread
Dumbledore is by far the most powerful wizard in fiction, let's be honest, gandalf doesn't do much magic. he sets some pine-cones on fire and makes beams of light that may or may not cause damage to what they hit. Not that impressive. He's more of a facilitator than a wizard, his main awesomeness comes from bringing people together to work for the same cause.
On the other hand, Kvothe is just absolute pure win. He can play a lute with 2 broken stings, he's smart enough to become functional in a language in a day and a half, he can split his mind into 8 distinct parts in order to work on 8 problems at once.
As he says:
"My first mentor called me E'lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them.
But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant "to know."
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned.
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me."
