Animated characters stronger than comics counterparts?

Try to think of characters from animated adaptations of comics that are actually more powerful than the characters they're based on.

So far the ones I can think of:

Bane (the Batman) casually flipping over police cars and tearing open bank vaults, feats that put him in the Class 10 range.

Amazo (JLU) this one is debatable, but JLU Amazo seems more powerful than the average portrayal of his comic book basis.

Teen Titans Robin.

I agree that he seemed more powerful, but if you look at what he actually did, none of it was really beyond what some of his more powerful incarnations (ie. JLA #27) were capable of. Imo.

I think Apocalypse is quite a safe bet here 😉

Yeah, the writers just did a good job of making him seem Godlike in "the Return".

Moving Oa to another dimension was easier than simply adjusting his course around it. He pretty much soloed the GLC and then the JLU.

Oh, definitely. Comic Apoc is almost a joke compared to him.

Definitely JL / JLU Hawkgirl. With her mace she's much more powerful than normal Hawkgirl.

I don't think she's stronger...

Class 90?

Scythe The Goat

Kinda, yeah I see it. Though I've always thought Supes was very underpowered in his TAS.

In some alternate universe, his strength level was compared to that of the Thing by Iron Man.

He's like Doctor Octopus. Coils are stronger that the man himself, imo.

The best answer is still Robin.

Kid was the presence in tights.

Electro. Took over the world in Spider-man TAS and pwned SHIELD with a simple gesture.

Yeah that's a good one. She's not as strong as her comics counterpart (who IIRC is Class 5-Class 10) but her mace is like magic-be-gone.

There were times when it was easy to forget that he was *supposedly* the only member without any powers.

I'm not sure if this is really important but Slade from the very same series crushed a rock into a diamond. No way comic Deathstroke could do that.

Seriously? I watched the whole show but dont remember that. Do you know the episode name or at least the context?

No, comic Hawkgirl isn't that strong. Nth metal provides maybe slightly enhanced stats at most, though it can also boost momentum from impacts.

Also Animated Hawkgirl's mace could charge up and hit very hard too, and deflect laser fire. Overall she's more powerful even against non-magic foes.

Yea I would say so C-Master. He was able to easily puncture a whole in Ironman suit and over power him.

Metallo is another consideration.
