To single out something as the most or the least, use the following formula, remember that the adjective needs to agree with the noun it is describing:

el/la/los/las + noun + más/menos + adjective

Thor es el superhéroe más fuerte.
Thor is the strongest superhero.

There are a few irregular superlative forms. These forms are similar to the comparatives with the definite article added. They agree in number with the first noun.

viejo (age of a person) -> el/la/los/las mayor(e)(s) : oldest

joven -> el/la/los/las menor(e)(s) : youngest

bueno/bien -> el/la/los/las mejor(e)(s) : best

malo/mal -> el/la/los/las  peor(e)(s) : worst

¿Qué actor crees que es el peor?
What actor do you believe is the worst?

When you are using superlatives, always use DE to mean in or of.
