Without testosterone no other steroid hormone can be synthesized..
All steroids have been altered from testosterone to change the androgenic and anabolic rating and they are compared to testosterone because that is their base hormone they were derived from. Most steroids act on different enzymes in the body which give them different effects, such as water retention, bloating, mass increase, strength increase etc etc etc.
To answer your question. NO , there is no steroid superior to testosterone. No other steroid hormone could exist without testosterone.
(Added) I forgot to mention. All derivatives of testosterone have been chemically and molecularly changed from the testosterone hormone thus making them less effective in some aspects and more effective in other aspects. Some have more sides and other have less.
If you're serious about you health, I would avoid any derivatives and just stick with testosterone stand alone you can get some great results without harsh compounds.
