I'm torn. I guess I'll have to go with the Ancient Ones. Cthulhu, Azathoth, Yog Sothoth. These are beings that no man can ever comprehend, much less combat. They live between the spheres of reality. They are conquerors of entire dimensions. The only thing even gods can do to them is put them to sleep, or banish them for a little while. Hell, Nyarlathotep, their messenger, will drive you insane just seeing him. Even a few Shoggoths can strip a planet clean fairly quickly.
Just the dreams of Cthulhu will drive people to the nut house. HIS DREAMS. Duders asleep, and still driving people crazy.
Being a Warhammer 40K fan, though, I gotta say, Tyranids are not to be underestimated. Those little bastards are fierce. And there are HUNDREDS OFTRILLIONS of them. Nothing makes an Adeptus Astartes flee battle. Not Orks, not Eldar, Not Chaos, Not Tau. But of all the enemies of the Emperor of the Golden Throne, Tyranids come the closest.

I'm going to go with the Aliens from the "Alien" series of movies. If you go into the science of them they are one of the most perfect killing species in the cosmos. Acid for blood, sneaky as hell, and vicious!
The Terran Empire from the Star Trek mirror universe. Until the Klingon-Cardassian alliance took them down... and turned them into slaves... so... Klingassians?

@Samael2138: Like you I was going to go with a lovecraftian god, specifically Cthulhu.
But if I remember correctly wasn't Cthulhu defeated when the hero of the story rams a 19th century steam ship into his face putting Cthulhu into a coma? I don't think anything should be considered most powerful when it can be defeated with 100 year old tech.
I'm going to have to go with the alien from the end of MiB, good call on that @skittles I never would have thought of that.

As Quoted from The Call of Cthulhu, in Johansen's written account, after crashing The Alert into the head of Cthulhu, it bursts with "a slushy nastiness as of a cloven sunfish"- only to immediately begin reforming.".
But, as with most of Lovecraft's work, the details are rather ambiguous. It could very well be the dying words of a raving lunatic. Or a hallucination. Or maybe just what it says...
And, Cthulhu isn't even really one of the Old Ones. Quoted from The Dunwich Horror, "Great Cthulhu is Their cousin, yet can he spy Them only dimly."

The Consu from John Scalzi's books I'd guess, encased their planet in a Dyson Sphere, have the most advanced technology in the series, and I say it again: Dyson Sphere! Also they look like "giant, blade-armed stingrays".

If it had landed anywhere else on earth it would've taken over... seriously, just a drop of The Things blood is capable of making people become infected. They are Necromorphs... ON STEROIDS!!!

I wouldn't say Time Lords - seeing as they were all wiped out by one of their own.
Celestials are worth being frightened of. Necromorphs, Xenomorphs and the alien from The Thing aren't evil in their design, but are ruthless killing machines and possibly very capable of wiping out entire planets. Also Predator - but not if you're a woman. Or a child. Or defenseless. Just don't fuck with them if you value your head.
