Completely agree! I like Wolverine allot but he is one of the worst about doing things he should never be capable of simply due to his massive popularity.
Which is why I so often tell my friends I love Wolverine but I hate Wolvermania!

Doctor Doom is a bit overplayed. Too much exposition makes him feel less special. But can't really argue about Doom punking Hulk, he should always do that
Underplayed: The cast of the Infinity watch.
I could see a mini series with the likes of Moondragon, Maxam, Gamora, Adam Warlock...
Talk about an overpowered team.
Gamora is a multi tons martial artist without peer, Maxam got fighting skills himself, and he way over 100 tons class, and he's immune to telepath powers. Moondragon is an expert in h2h, and a super powered telepath. And Warlock is the wise, calm leader, to keep them in line. I'm sure there are things to do with that.
Underplayed: Nova Prime.
I'm a sucker for underdog, and even if he's in the big league now, he's been shown to be just a notch less powerful that the likes of Surfer, Thor, etc. But I totally dig his "I can do that shit" attitude, and it's a shame that he don't have a series.
Underplayed: Ronan and Super-Skrull.
What Marvel wait to put them in a team!? How about throwing Nova Prime as their leader? That shit would be awesome!
Overplayed: Spider-Man.
Ok. Wolverine is everywhere, but I like the character, and his power "kind" of explain how he can do it. On the other hand, Spider-Man is also everywhere, and since I hate him, well... Also, he needs to gtfo from the FF. Reed needs to pimpslap him awat.
Handful of Marvel characters listed here, so I'll go the other way and pick some DC.
Overplayed: Hal Jordan
Because he exists. He's easily the worst Earth GL and yet he's the star again. They did it right when they killed him off the first time.
Overplayed: Barry Allen
Because he exists. He's a fine character, but his time, and subsequently the torch, passed.
Underplayed: Wally West
Because he doesn't exist (yet).
Underplayed: Dr. Fate
DC's been lacking in the large-scale magic scene a while now. Dr. Fate's just a straight badass.
Underplayed: The JSA
They're awesome and nothing else needs to be said.
Overplayed: The Bat Family
I like a lot of the Bat books, but there's just way too many. I can't care about all of them.
Underplayed: Power Girl

Under: Silver Surfer: Basically, he can do everything, including time travel. This dude should never loose to anyone unless his opponents are more powerful that he is.
Over: Reed Richards: Talk about an over-achiever.
Under: Thor: He can do most of what Surfer can do (bare telepathy, and he don't possess the cosmic awarness), and even if he gets more respect that Surfer, he shouldn't fall to anyone but to his peers or above him. This apply to Beta Ray Bill too.
Over: Wolverine: In one comic, he survived a damn nuke.
Under: Galactus: Seriously, how is it possible that a human like Doom or Richards can become a treat to Galactus? Isn't he suppose to be omniscient, or almost?
I don't really read that many comics, but I try to keep up with most of what the Big Two are pumpin' out and I have to say The Question is pretty underused. I'm a big Question fan and I don't see him around as much.
False, imo. Kyle and Alan both have more going on than Hal ever did.
I hate that writers don't get that, outside of the big 3, the other characters literally should be legacies. And maybe even Batman (yeah, I went there). It stunts the character development of all involved when you try to make it otherwise.
I'm confused by the premise here. Is this about Powerset?
Does this mean "On this forum" Who is considered way more powerful than they should be or "in the comics?"
In the Comics:
- I don't think Wolverine should be tanking Nukes or Lifting Cars over his head, or able to cover a mile or whatever it was in an instant.
- I don't think Thanos should be far above Surfer in Power Level. I never got that impression when he was my favorite comic book character of all time. In fact this forum made me like him less when I found out how powerful he was for some reason.
- I think Spectre should be used less as a stepping stone for characters to punk out and more as a force of nature. If you have the title "Right hand of God" it should actually mean something. As it stands, that's not the case.
- I Thought Superman was a bit too powerful in Final Crisis during the "Infinite Lb." book he lifted. That's absurd and shouldn't even be discussed here in the Vs. Forums but whatever.
I can't think of anything else. Hope I did this right.

Bringing Hal back was heresy
