Who is the character who most consistently pulls off feats and does things beyond the limits of their powerset/attributes?

Similarly, who is the character who vastly underperforms relative to their powerset/attributes?

Takion
You know, I still this would have been better if it was

Overachieving/Underachieving POSTER

Anyways, I think Thanos.

Starscream M
My picks:

Most overachieving: Batman
Reason: He's a mere mortal. A product of extreme tragedy. Could've led a life of luxury and yet he chose a path of pain and loneliness for protecting the innocent. He hangs with gods (JLA) and is respected by them as being one of its most important members.

Most underachieving: Terrax
Reason: With the power cosmic, he really has done very little terrorizing.

Overachiever- Captain America

Underachiever- Absorbing Man

psycho gundam
^cap is an avatar of the "real source" aka american patriotism *hums star spangled banner*

anyway,

overachiever (other than the obvious choice of batman) = lex luthor

underachiever = the snowman made of dog-piss snow named DARKSEID. the dude just needs to take up boxing and he would be unbeatable, or at least block.

Harbinger
Underachieving is undoubtedly Apocalypse, IMO.

Complete molecular control of his body, can amp his stats, endowed with Celestial tech, and he jobs to the freaking X-Men?

cmack
overachiever:superman
underachiever:apocalypse

psycho gundam
yeah......apocalypse goes without saying sad

Aster Phoenix
Apocalypse, the X-men Cartoons do him better.

Man, you said it. I love Cap, but seriously. Sometimes it just gets a bit out of hand.

Underachiever: Jubilee. And sometimes Colossus.

psycho gundam
colossus? please explain.

complexbrother
overacheaver ... Captian America or Batman


underacheaver .... Hercules or Apocalypse

Val-E-Doosh
Under: Green Lantern

Best powerset in comics being used to make green bats. It's gotten worse with these sorry Geoff Johns-era power rings to boot.

The Surfer is also an underachiever. The guy isn't nearly as badass as his Vs. forum fanboys would have you believe.

Sado22
overachiever= wolverine. for a 5"3 shorty, hairy guy with probably a bad case of BO and only crankiness to run on, he sure gets to beat a lotta guys he shouldn't be

underachiever= Jesse Custer from Preacher, the guy has the coolest power in the world but spent the whole time eating his girl friend's holy-of-the-holiest

Sometimes comics have him getting pwned by things that shouldn't. Or he just has wicked-few showings, which many people translate to being an underachiever despite his abilities.

underachiever= iceman enough said

Overachiever - Flash

For a guy whos power is to run fast, they sure seemed to make him into something he shouldnt be.

Underachiever - Rhino

How can a guy that can throw down with the Hulk lose every single time?

Fail.

Endrict Nuul
Most overachieving: Tony Stark

Most underachieving:Vulcan

Aster Phoenix
Agreed Vulcan is nowhere near as powerful as his hype would make him out to be. Exodus seems tougher to beat then him.

And as far as Flash, the only overreaching thing he ever did was beating Brainiac Luthor in JLU

I don't care what he was supposed to be, I care about what he is.
Based on his powerset, there are very few things if any that he pulled which are out of his powerset, which is what the thread started wanted to discuss.

fangirl101
Over Acheivers include
Batman,Captain America, Superman, Thanos

Under Achielvers
Darksied, Silver Surfer, Thor, Martian Manhunter

Juk3n
Over - Flash, i hate anything to do with Speedforce, what a stupid plot device, nay, THE MOST stupid plot device.

Under - Omega Red, he needs an origin story, he's so badass tis a crime he has not got more books.

Philosophía
Some people seem to be unable to comprehend what the thread started wanted to discuss.
Which is .. pretty funny. laughing out loud

Overachiever:
Thanos: His powerset makes him a skyfather lvler. That means that he can a LOT of people, but they are some cosmic dudes who could litteraly RAPES him in the worst ways. I think right now about Eternity. But it doesn't matter: Thanos have humiliate Eternity at least 2 times, and Galactus more times again.

Dr Doom: Let say... Low Herald lvler. And he have stole Surfer, Galactus, Beyonder power, and have constructed time machine. Enough said.

Batman: Only a human but hang with Sups and he's the boss of dudes like Firestorm.



Underachiver:
Rhino: No explacations necessary I think...

Silver Surfer/Green Lanterns: With they're kind of power, they should normally beat the crap of all herald lvler. Fortunaly, there's seem to have hope for Norrin Radd.

Galactus: Current Galactus is a beast. But before that, wasn't his nickname was Jobberlactus?

Apocalypse: Supposed to be the ultimate mutant, and get his fat blue ass kicked by X-MEN!?!?

I don't BELIEVE THIS SHIT!

Yes, and since last issue.

Bouboumaster
I will shit in my pants! That's unconveivable!

Isn't Galactus a concept between Death and Eternity? Why he's tied up like that!?

-K-M-
For all we know it could be an alternate reality Galactus and they found him sleeping or what not.
