Answer
The most powerful magnet in the Universe is actually a neutron star called Magnetar:
Located in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The diameter of the magnetar is 20 kilometer and its mass is 2 to 3 times than that of the Sun.
Its magnetic field is so enormous and lethal that it is capable of absorbing all the iron atoms from the bloodstream (hemoglobin) of a living body even if it is positioned at a distance of 1000 km from it.
