Random Strongest Military Members in FMA (15 items)

• 

  (#10) Miles

  Miles is one of Olivier Armstrong's most trusted subordinates. While his primary role is as her administrative assistant, he's also right by her side during battle - basically, he's Fort Briggs' answer to Riza Hawkeye. His sense of justice dictates most of his actions, which in his case means that he won't hesitate to take his enemies' lives. The one exception to this is Scar. That's because Miles is 1/4 Ishvalan, and he feels a sense of connection to his people, even as he continues to work for the military that decimated them. But while he is ruthless, he isn't cruel - he's disgusted by the sadistic glee Kimblee displays when taking lives. At the end of the series, Miles helps Scar to work towards restoring their ancestral land.

  (#6) Olivier Mira Armstrong

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

  Olivier Mira Armstrong is the notorious leader of Fort Briggs. She may not be an alchemist, but she more than makes up for that with her command of a wide range of weaponry, including grenade launchers, pistols, and her family's heirloom sword. Using agility, speed and precision, she's able to defeat most opponents easily, including her brother Alex who technically beats her at physical strength. In addition to her impressive skill set, she's also a strong leader who does an excellent job managing the soldiers at Fort Briggs through what appears to be fear, but is actually deep respect.

  (#1) Roy Mustang

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, FullMetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, Fullmetal Alchemist

  As the state alchemist Edward Elric spends the most time with, Roy Mustang is one of the better-known people in his position. Known as the Flame Alchemist, he's able to spark a flame using special gloves, and manipulate the oxygen in the surrounding area to create and control fire. His abilities generally don't work when it's raining, although he can sometimes manipulate the oxygen inside the raindrops for offensive attacks.

  He learned Flame Alchemy from Berthold Hawkeye in a roundabout way. He was Berthold's apprentice, but Berthold refused to teach him his creation, believing it to be too important to leave with anyone other than his daughter Riza. He tattooed the alchemical imagery on her back before he passed away. Eventually, Riza allows him to learn Flame Alchemy, altering it slightly to fit his needs. Riza insists that he use his ability to burn off parts of the tattoo, freeing her from the burden of its secrets. 

  After being forced to commit human transmutation, Roy gains the ability to perform alchemy without a transmutation circle, dramatically widening the possibilities of what sort of alchemy he can use.

  (#3) King Bradley

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

  Sitting at the top of the Amestrian Military hierarchy is King Bradley. Once a regular human, he's now a human fused with a Philosopher's Stone created from wrathful souls. These distilled into one furious personality and turned him into the homunculus, Wrath. He's using the Amestrian military to further his destructive goals, a problem that most of the other members on this list will spend the series grappling with. Like all of the homunculi, he's incredibly powerful, with super-human strength, agility, reflexes, and momentum. His most noteworthy ability is his Ultimate Eye, which boosts his senses and allows him to predict the future.

  (#2) Edward Elric

  • FullMetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, Chibi Party, Alchemists Vs Homunculi, Fullmetal Alchemist

  Protagonist Edward Elric has the least experience as a State Alchemist, but that doesn't mean he's weak or ineffective. After teaching himself alchemy and attempting human transmutation, he met with disaster: his arm and leg were taken, as was his brother Alphonse's entire body. His initial goal is to retrieve their bodies, which is part of what leads him to continue enhancing his abilities. He starts out by undergoing harsh training with Izumi Curtis, who taught him martial arts, hand to hand combat, and more about alchemy than he could have learned on his own. 

  He eventually brings his talents to Central. There, he specializes in combat alchemy, which he can perform without needing a transmutation circle. He can create weapons, create columns to help him move quickly or use as a bludgeon, create enormous hands made of earth to help him lift things, and more. He's also remarkably talented at observation - he learns quickly and incorporates more experienced alchemists' techniques into his own repertoire.

  At the end of the series, he loses his alchemy powers in the Gate Of Truth, in exchange for the return of his and Alphonse's bodies. But he still remembers everything he learned, and can pass it along to others.

  (#12) Buccaneer

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

  Buccaneer was one of Olivier Armstrong's most powerful subordinates. While he lacks the ability to perform alchemy, he's still ridiculously strong without it. He once managed to toss Sloth over his shoulder despite Sloth being a giant. He can also blast through concrete with his fist, and once tightened his abdominal muscles to the point where Wrath couldn't pull a sword out of his gut. Besides his strength, he also boasts superior endurance - that sword thing doesn't happen if you can't handle serious pain! Sadly, he does ultimately succumb to that wound and passes away.
