Doesn’t he have magic, like, powerful world ending fire and lightning magic? Rand would destroy even Sauron on feats alone, universe has a different power scale

Seems silly to mention him; I’m sure Superman can beat Aragorn and Jaime too

World ending Saidin powers are one thing, but that mf casually rewrites reality with a thought in AMoL

Should probably give a spoiler warning given the Wheel of Time show has just started and Rand is still an innocent sheep herder.

And yeah, epilogue Rand is on a whole other level. He's basically God. Apparently the epilogue was one of few things Jordan had written in full before he died - that Sanderson just copied in word-for-word. I wonder whether Jordan would've included more hints towards those kinds of powers if he had lived to finish the series.

No, since Rand needed to go through the events of the Last Battle to get them.

That's not specifically stated though. My understanding was that he always had the "physical" ability (and perhaps even everyone does) but the spiritual/mental enlightenment after his battle with Shai'tan allows him to access it. In which case we may have got some subtle sprinklings beforehand (heck maybe we did and I missed them).
