Is CoC the strongest character in ES?

So if CoC was infact made into the Prince of Madness wouldnt that make him/her [Even though their power only really exist in their realm] way more powerful then the Neravarine or even the Dragonborn? Or is the "New" Sheogorath much weaker then the original? I mean look at it this way. Neravarine's power was really the ability to wield the Wraithguard and use Keening/Sunder to destroy the Heart's physical aspect. Dragonborn's power is really just the ability to absorb dragon souls as anyone with enough work can learn shouts. But the CoC [if he/she does infact become the Prince of Madness] commands an entire realm of Oblivion, with the ability to never die [While in the realm] but also affect the very Weather of the realm. And the CoC would have more fame then the others so to speak, as Sheogorath is still worshipped even in Skyrim.

I'll admit I'm a noob when it comes to ES lore. But is it really possible for a Daedric Prince to turn a Mortal into a Daedric Prince? Would that Prince be just as strong as the other Daedra, or would their power be less due to the fact that they weren't created the same way as the others?

I've always been curious about the ending to Shivering Isles and the real logistics of the Champion of Cyrodill becoming a Daedric Prince.

There is the concept of mantling, which is where a mortal becomes so much like a god or daedra there ceases to be anuy functional difference and they become one and the same. it's how Tiber Septim became Talos.

Anyways, I'm sure someone else can explain this better than me.

On the flip side of it is the fact that Daedra are limited in their power if they step outside their realm as much of their power is bound up with it.

Like Mehrunes Dagon becoming mortal when he walked Tamriel and was subsequently slain by Martin who was empowered by Akatosh.
