@ 37.152.33.225 - The emperor most likely did not gain his power from chaos gods, his origins are unknown so we can only speculate. As for chaos gods, i belive that the emperor may have used them for his own gains, some sort of a deal that the emperor never even contemplated of fulfilling, and broke it as soon as he got what he needed from them.

Also, horus was not even close to the Emperor, the moment the Emperor got serious he moped the floor with horus. That also sadly shows the weakness of the emperor, he may be a god-like human but the emotions of losing someone who he considered almost his equal, got the better of him. If he started with the idea of killing horus from the start, the battle would last a minute at best.

Well, pre-golden throne emperor is really powerful, but there are things that can stop him, a full powered ctan can beat him at a good day most likely.

The current emperor is most likely most powerful single entity in w40k peroid.
