Jesus after ressurection

Gautama Buddha. He was literally born to be the king of he universe, but he renounced it.

>Genghis Khan

These are definitely the top four in my mind as having the world at their fingertips militarily.
Napoleon gets a special mention but he didn't have the level of control over civilization that those four had.

Whoever the US president was for the past 26 years

Obviously this.
Before resurrection he cured people ailments.

Pythagoras

Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mugabe, the Kims, Mao, Ceacescu and Castro had absolute control of their nations and could get anything granted to them.

Probably Harry S. Truman. Nuclear monopoly, hegemony over every developed country but the Soviet Union, and a fully mobilized military and economy is a pretty brilliant position to be in if you wanted to conquer the world.

He's God, so obviously
In terms of normal humans, I'd say king Nebuchnezzar
He was such a powerful and terrifying king that even when he lost his mind for seven years and grazed on the fields, nobody dared to overthrow him during this time
They could have easily taken over but they were too scared of what might happen if he suddenly snapped out of his trance
