That is sort of what I meant by "implied" power. Kurenai is probably a very strong being by himself, and probably could fight a lot more than he does, but he researches and works on R&D more he actually fights.

Chances are he is the strongest, he's probabably got something at least Boosted Gear-level if he's capable of replicating a version for Ex.

However, if Crimson is right, he probably could just fry most anything with Holy Lightning, odds are he's more powerful than Akeno and Baraqiel.

Also, isn't Samael kind of the same thing as Kurenai, part Fallen Angel/Dragon? Perhaps he has similar abilities, like extremely lethal poison.
