i think 'angels' would be a better fit. and he still would have been conquered Last, so that point stands. But he was not powerful, just not subject to the influence of the ring. He has no power to resist an army of orcs (or of men even).
Actually, the Valar are more like the "angels," with the Maiar being a group of "lesser angels," as Iluvatar, the guy over everything, is the "God" in Middle Earth, though he is never worshipped by anyone. Keep in mind that angels are demi-gods.
