Who would be most dangerous with the one ring?
Who do you think would be the most powerfull with the one ring? Personally i would say Gandalf. He has amasing power and decent physycal stength and with the ring he would be unstoppable. Although Gandalf wouldbe stongest I want to see legolas with the ring. He's the coolest.

Being cool notwithstanding, I think Sauron would be the strongest with the ring, because it is his personal power that is in the ring, and so under his control that power would be maximized.
BTW, this again is a thread topic that should be in the books forum. Please keep in mind the different forums when you start a thread, and try to determine beforehand where it would be most appropriate. Thanks . Moving to books. |

would you really *want* to see someone with the ring? ::shudder:: they may not be able to handle it. Better that Mount Doom has it.

I would say who ever carried it. Why? Because they'd have the CHOICE of what they wanted to do with it, thus deciding the fate of Middle Earth. It just so happens Sauron made it so that it would twist peoples minds...*gasps as eyes get wider and wider then whispers* That lousy, no good spawn of Melkor cheated...not only THAT but he needs a RING to be all powerful...so that brings to my attention those who would not need a measly Ring to kick that inflated Maia's butt into the middle of the next age...two people come to mind. Tom Bombadil and Gandalf.
*Sits in chair and looks around the room with a smile stuck to face) Who IS Tom Bombadil? Did we decide? Personally it think he's Eru cause his place would be the last to be taken,and the Ring had no effect on him. Cheers, Sam

I am not sure. Guessing that you mean person/things present in Middle-earth, id have to say one of the maia such as Sauron, Gandalf, or Saruman.

um... Sauron.
Actually, anyone who would use it in such a way that Sauron would notice, because then he would get it... or get replaced.

Gollum...just think...a world full of fish and scary people who hate Baginsesss.
Seriously, though, I'm gonna go with Gandalf. He,along with his "forces", outwitted Sauron and his orcs. I take that to mean that he would definitely be stronger and smarter with the ring as well.

Probably Gandalf. Even though he had the strenth to not take it, he couldn't resist it after he got it most likely.

Re: Who would be most dangerous with the one ring?
I would say Sauron would be the most powerful, because, as azalea said, he made it and put forth his own power into it.
But who would be the most dangerous is another matter. Tolkien made a very interesting point in one of his letters: Quote:

I'd have to go with Gandalf or Saroun. Also, Samwise and Artanis made very good points

i would have to say morgoth - if he had the chance. sauron is powerful enough, but imagine if morgoth had got his hands on the ring!!!!!

i don't know if having the ring would make morgoth that much more powerful. compared to morgoth, sauron (and thus the ring) are nothing. would'nt his strength max out at some point?

I think (too) that Sauron, Gandalf or Saruman would be the most dangerous characters with the ring.

I don't think he would be able to wield it very effectively, but I'd just love to see Feanor with the One Ring. (Ignoring the fact that he's dead, of course.) Can somebody say power trip?
