It depends on what factor you consider to be most "powerful". The strongest acids I know of would be HCL (hydrochloric) and H2SO4 (sulfuric acid). The way to make an acid more powerful is to boil it, which will evaporate most of the water and increase the concentration of the Hydronium ion (which is what the strength of an acid is based on). But there is one acid that often goes unnoticed; Hydrofluoric acid (HF). Hydrofluoric acid is, by classification, a weak acid BUT the Florine ion that forms from dissolving this acid in water is extremely violent (Fluorine is the most electronegative element) and this makes HF an extremely dangerous acid (it is classified as a weak acid because the strength comes from the F ion, not the H ion).

"Fluoroantimonic acid is 2×10^19 (20 quintillion) times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid."

Hydrochloric is pretty strong, not sure if its the strongest, but that would be my first guess.

Fluoroantimonic acid is the strongest super acid in the world.

Yes, fluoroantimonic acid is the most powerful.

So you would recommend this acid if I need to dissolve some corpses?

No, best way to get rid of a corpse is to destroy the teeth. You were a cop, right? You should know, if they can't identify the body, they check the teeth. Then a good idea would be to chop off the limbs and burn or bury them separately.

But what about all the leftovers?

Place the body in a bathtub. Then cut it at the wrists and tops of thighs, and douse it in bleach. This will get rid of the smell and speed up blood drainage.
