The chimera ants were a feared species of enemy that caused the Hunter Association to send in an elite team of hunters to eliminate them; Meruem was the most powerful of them all. Meruem is hailed by fans as one of the greatest anime villains and there are plenty of arguments as to why he's the best.
Just before the 2011 series of Hunter x Hunter went on indefinite hiatus in 2014, protagonist Gon encountered the most terrifying villain of his young life: Meruem, the Chimera Ant King. Meruem was the last major antagonist Hunter x Hunter saw, and arguably the most impressive.

In the Hunter X Hunter anime, Meruem is said to be (arguably) the strongest character in the series. However while reading about Hisoka, I found that he once thought to challenge Ging to a battle to death, which seems astonishing because Netero once said that Ging is one of the five best Nen users in the world.
In the manga, Meruem's silhouette was shown to readers in Chapter 197 and his full debut came in Chapter 213 of the story. In the anime, Meruem's silhouette appeared in Episode 87, while he made his full appearance in Episode 91.
Meruem is nowhere near the celestial tier these Naruto antagonists occupy, with his most impressive feat being his ridiculous durability. A minor setback for Naruto, as he could simply lob one of his Rasenshuriken Tailed Beast Bombs in Meruem's general direction and release him from this mortal coil.
Gon's strength is so far beyond Netero's that even if it took him several Jajanken hits on Meruem rather than just one, those hits would leave more than superficial scratches and Gon would defeat him. If Meruem somehow escaped Jajanken, adult Gon never even showed his other Nen abilities while transformed.
8 Can Rival: Killua Zoldyck He's an incredibly powerful character who specializes in Transmutation type Nen ability. Killua is arguably stronger than Gon right now and holds an equal amount of potential to him. As an adult, it is a certainty that Killua will be able to rival Gon in terms of strength.
Netero was the Chairman of the Hunter Association and one of the most powerful hunters in the series. He died after piercing his own heart in order to detonate the Rose bomb and kill the Chimera Ant King, Meruem.
KomugiKomugi is the World Gungi Champion and the love interest of Meruem, the King of the Chimera Ants and main antagonist in the Chimera Ant arc of the Hunter x Hunter series.
The King simply replies he is dead and was replaced. Komugi apologizes for her rudeness but is made to shut up by the King as he reads the rules of the game. Due to her nose being stuffed up and her mouth closed, she passes out.

There is no character in dbz or dbs that meruem can beat. Practically almost all the dbz characters at this point are planet busters and beyond.
1 Can't Defeat: Meruem After being revived, Meruem got even stronger and his powers were behind comprehension. Hisoka can never achieve the same level of power as him, so defeating him isn't really possible for him at all.
Meruem is the main antagonist of the Chimera Ant arc in the anime/manga series Hunter × Hunter. He is the most powerful offspring of the Chimera Ant Queen, and the King of the Chimera Ants . He is voiced by Kouki Uchiyama in the Japanese version of the anime and Max Mittelman in the English version, the former of whom also voices Daryl Yan ...
Personality. Meruem is initially seen as a cruel, violent, ruthless, and aggressive leader. The Queen's intention to give birth to a perfect offspring is reflected in Meruem's mentality, with the Ant being haughty and contemptuous towards all.
From there on, Meruem begins to question the differences between the Ants and mankind. He battles with his identity as a half-human and half-insect, questioning the nature of violence and strength as true power.
Immense Strength: Meruem's physical strength is inconceivable as he was able to use only one powerful strike with his tail to kill several other Chimera Ants. He was able to shatter a massive wall inside the Queen's nest with only one punch. He also was able to rip off Netero's left arm and right leg easily.
While at first, he viewed humans as nothing more than food that would only be useful as cattle, he began to respect humans, viewing the amazing potential they had and the honorable nature even weaker humans had, Komugi being the prime example of that belief.
What's more, he became committed to changing human society, viewing the inequality of classes as absolute madness, and was determined to eliminate the system and the concept of inequality from the world. Perhaps most noble of Meruem is his belief of the purpose of power.
Even before his absorption of Youpi and Pouf, Meruem is already extremely durable . He easily withstands thousands of attacks launched at him by Netero, one of the most powerful human fighters in the world, without suffering a single scratch. And Netero's Zero Hand, which uses up all of his aura in an intensified blast, could barely give him cuts and bruises.
