The King Of Power
Well they are all corrupt in my opinion
Most corrupt probably the borgia popes and Pius XII for his connection with hitler and the Nazis. Most powerful is hard to say , since its the office of the papacy that has the power not the man himself per say, i guess Innocent III or Ironically Pope John Paul 2 ( ironically because he was pope during a time where the papacy wasnt viewed by most as a powerful as time past) he was definitely one of the most influential and to a certain point the one that helped change how the church was viewed around the world by other leaders, specially religious ones.
He's one of the reasons why we have the Ecumenical movement among all the religions of the world today

Emperors technically outrank kings but they were typically comparably. Depending on the time and location, its the Pope.

Also kings and emperors conquered land for the church the conquered people would “adopt” their religion and the religion would indoctrinate their pagan customs
also i don’t thing popes has to look over their shoulder as much ...kings and emperors were being murked by their own people in lots of cases

Emperors ruled kings and thus, multiple kingdoms. An all powerful king like the British Crown that rules several kingdoms would be comparable. There werent many that were.

ain’t no such thing as a stupid question, Young David
the pope could be refused, but that monarch would fall out of favor. like a breh above said, the pope was considered a step below god and had his own personal army ( The Knights Templar). Some kong’s didn’t do what the pope wanted, such as Henry VIII who separated from the Catholic church after the pope wouldn’t grant him his divorce. Henry set up his own Church of England which caused 100s of years of conflict for his descendants.
fakkit ass Pope was easily scaring the shyt out of people with fables of god somehow punishing people if they didn’t do this and that
Horus only controlled Egypt.

Really depends which part of ancient time you are talking about.
Overall though I would say emperors
