puissant
Having great strength
Puissant means powerful or mighty, used almost exclusively in literary or archaic contexts: a puissant ruler, puissant armies.
The word sounds deliberately old-fashioned, evoking medieval romance or epic poetry.
Modern usage is typically playful or ironic, reaching for grandiosity: our puissant leader.
