What characters have the cheapest/most unfair abilities? Not in terms of pure power but things that are just broken. Like for example the Basanos from Lucifer, they can look into a being's future and see any way that it could possibly die, then cause that death to materialize instantly.
Keep in mind I'm looking for creative abilities, so just basic reality warping/omnipotence doesn't count.
Superman and him possessing every physical power possible and having no cap or limit that is routinely shown to have no limit when he digs in just a little more into his reserves to reach new heights of power lvls for the specific story.
There is a big difference between "Cheap" and "overpowered". People keep mentioning powerful stuff, which isn't the same thing.
Cheap abilities are one that do stuff like win quickly and easily even against people a lot more powerful than you, generally by bypassing the normal way of doing things.
For example, Scorpion-Carmilla Black is, at most, slightly enhanced physically due to having all the toxins and such cleared out of her. But she has a poison hand, which can potentially one-shot all kinds of people, once absorbed part of a Venom symbiont (while still being deadly to the touch of the original!), and can be amped by giving her stronger poisons to process up to insane levels. Any poison, pretty much any amount, she's good.
Or, Squirrel Girl. Sending squirrels against Thanos or Doom is just *cheap*.
The EXiles have several cheap abilities. Blink can kill just about anything if she gets creative and mean enough, and Nocturne's possession is also really cheap, she leaps into you, uses your body, and can fire energy bolts from it. And if she leaves? You're asleep for 24 hours, even if you're Wolverine.
^Superman isnt cheap because he's powerful. He's cheap because he's AS powerful as he NEEDS to be in every situation. And it goes not only for his strength.
