  (#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.

  (#5) Riza Hawkeye

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

  Riza Hawkeye's primary job is to serve as an administrative assistant and bodyguard for Roy Mustang. Without her organization skills, the Flame Alchemist wouldn't be able to get much done. She keeps him safe from harm with her superior marksmanship. She's mastered multiple types of guns, including bolt-action rifles, sniper rifles, pistols, and more. She can even handle two guns at once. She rarely misses her mark, and takes excellent care of her weaponry. But Riza isn't helpless if she's without her guns - she's also skilled at other forms of physical combat.

  (#13) Isaac McDougal

  Isaac McDougal is actually a former state alchemist, not a current one. That's because he defected from the organization with the intention of exposing its more nefarious secrets. He's introduced before viewers - and the protagonist - actually know what some of those secrets are, so at first he doesn't really come across as justified. But once the travesty of the Ishvalan war is revealed, it becomes clear that the guy had a good reason for acting out, even if his methods veered into excess chaos and violence. 

  What were those methods? He decides to destroy Central using his liquid-based alchemy. He can freeze anything with water or water essence in it, and control the resulting ice. If there's no water anywhere, not even in the air, he can freeze his own blood and use it as a weapon. By touching his opponent, he can freeze their blood, too. While he tends to favor cold over heat, he's also capable of boiling water using the same methods - meaning, he could easily boil a person's blood in their veins. His most powerful technique involves drawing transmutation circles that endlessly generate un-meltable, unbreakable ice that can only be destroyed if the transmutation circles are - a tough task considering they're often hidden by the ice. 

  His final opponent was Führer King Bradley. With so much power, it's clear why it took someone that strong to do the job.

  (#9) Tim Marcoh

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

  Tim Marcoh was the top researcher in charge of the government's Philosopher's Stone creation project. To aid this process, he took thousands of Ishvalan lives during the war. Wracked with guilt and unwilling to continue participating in something he saw as monstrous, he escaped the lab and went to live in the countryside. He stole a few imperfect samples of the engineered Philosopher's Stone, and used it to heal people in his new life as a doctor. Unfortunately, he's also kidnaped by the homunculi and forced to do their bidding. When Scar gets ahold of him for the same reason, Envy attempts to retrieve him, but Marcoh fights back, successfully damaging the homunculi's core. Ultimately, he's the person who restores Roy Mustang's eyesight at the end of the series. 

  Because of his severe trauma and his advanced age, he's not seen in combat often. But his healing prowess combined with his intelligence makes him a powerful ally.

  (#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.

  (#14) Giolio Comanche

  Known as the Silver Alchemist, Giolio Comanche might look like a small, frail old man, but he's actually pretty terrifying. He has alchemy circles tattooed on his hands, allowing him to perform transmutations without drawing new circles each time. What's more, he has tiny circles on his fingers, which means that the doesn't even have to touch both hands together to get it done.

  In addition to being skilled, he's also passionate about his work. During the Ishvalan war, he was forcefully removed from the battlefield thanks to a leg injury, and he spent the whole thing screaming in protest and pain. Despite losing his leg, he continued his work as a State Alchemist. Despite his willingness to participate in war, he believes that alchemy should be used to create life, not cause harm - that's what he tells Scar during his showdown with him, and it's a message Scar carries with him throughout the series.
