User blog comment:Lawliet Watari/What is the most powerful element?/@comment-74.109.63.12-20121206050433

Out of the four classical elements, I think Air is the strongest. Air sustains life. Sure, without water life would die. But without air life wouldn't actually have a chance. How do you think the Earth is able to retain water, oil and all of its other natural resources? It has a habitable zone due to the presense of oxygen. Without air, specifically oxygen, the Earth would be as dry and desolate as Mars. I'm not sure if Energy is considered it's own element (the fifth element) but if we were to take it a step further, I'd say energy is the strongest because of the big bang, supernovas and cosmic collisons which shaped the entire universe. Fire is a product of energy so I can see how people would think fire is the strongest of the classical elements. But what I'm taking about is kinetic energy. The energy of motion. Fire and all other forms of energy are produced through motion (except maybe dark energy since we really don't know much about it).
