With hydrocarbons, is chlorine the ONLY atom powerful enough to remove a hydrogen atom from an alkane?

This question is regarding the chlorination of saturated alkane compounds so that they can react with other reactants.

I’ve been going through my notes and I found that I had written: “Cl is the only atom powerful enough to TAKE an H atom from an alkane.”

Aren’t there more powerful atoms, such as fluorine?

And if yes, is Cl used because it’s more easy to come by?
