Overpowered Comic Characters
Well, I've observed that, in the realm of comics, there are quite a few overpowered characters in both DC and Marvel. And some would argue that there are different understandings on how overpowered a character is. This is true, and of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I'll name a few characters I believe to be pretty overpowered.
Phoenix - Immortal. That alone makes her pretty insane. She has all these cosmic powers, telepathy, etc.
Galactus - Nothing really needs to be said. As far as I know, he's the single most powerful being in the universe or something. He eats PLANETS, for crying out loud! Guy's got an appetite, too...
Silver Surfer - Immune to most physical attacks, can manipulate matter. Has some crazy cosmic powers. Really freaking fast on his board, too.
Martian Manhunter - Totally exploits the powers of Superman and adds in some new ones, such as mental abilites.
Deadpool - Guy can regenerate from pretty much anything. Someone even said he regenerated from being liquefied , and had the composure to make his ole' wisecracks while he became... "un-melted".
There are tons of others I could sit here and name, but you get the point. I understand that it's cool to have a super hero with a bunch of nice flashy powers, but come on now. After a while it just gets ridiculous. What's the point of even reading after a while? All you see is an overpowered super hero defeating a bunch of defenseless enemies who don't have a chance in heck of harming him. In fact, the only challenge faced by an overpowered superhero is an even more overpowered super-villain.
I prefer reading about heroes who have a minimum of powers, and rely more on training, equipment, and weapons. In short, I admire the hero who has to dodge a bullet or take cover, as opposed to one who takes on a whole volley because he knows they'll just bounce off harmlessly.
As a solution, whenever I'm thinking up battles, I often give any overpowered people a serious overhaul. For instance, I would seriously tone down Superman's powers and resistances, to the point where high-caliber bullets might just hurt him a bit, maybe cause some bruising, and high-explosives would seriously injure him. Some would argue that by doing this I destroy the character; I do it for my benefit. I do it because I believe, in my battles, that, in most cases, one superhero/villain should have at LEAST a 40, at the very least, a 25% chance of beating the other. I don't like to see a group of six super heroes having a 0% chance of beating Dark Phoenix.
Anyways, these are just my thoughts. I hope I didn't offend anyone.
