My vote is for Gandalf the White (formerly Gandalf the Grey) in The Lord of the Rings.
Just one example of his feats include his single-handed smiting of the Balrog of Moria.
And he has friends in high places, which is powerful in itself. Dude gets himself killed but gets "sent back" because he still has shit to do.
Of course, it could be argued that Gandalf has a demi-godlike status. Let me know if you want him discounted.
