Most overpowered attacks in a game

The banshee in Halo: Reach, especially on the levels "Paradiso" and the slightly altered version, "Utopia." Imagine an armored vehicle that can fly and shoots an unlimited amount of extremely overpowered rockets and can fly faster than any land vehicle and can do impossible flips and barrel rolls that make it nearly impossible to hit with any weapon and causes any projectiles that are locked on to it to miss.
Now imagine that same overpowered flying death machine on a small, cramped level with no hiding spots beyond a single cave in the middle of the map that is impossible to get to because you only spawn in a specific area of the map and getting to it when the overpowered flying machine is firing its overpowered rockets that can kill you if it hits anywhere within a 30ft radius, including on the other side of sturdy rocks, and the ground surrounding your base is only about 100 square feet.
Also the Shadow Operative skill from Alpha Protocol that literally makes you invisible as long as you don't sprint. You can walk straight up to a group of enemies and "stealth" kill all three of them in front of each other and they have no idea why their friends are dropping with knife wounds on their necks.

The M920 Cain. I expected it to be like the Fallout 3 Fat Man you know, but no it literally does vaporise everything on the screen.

What, not the Extendo-Tentacle? Or just Alex's fists? He can punch tanks until they explode, remember.kommando367 said:
True. Takes almost no effort and guaranteed to induce rage in anyone it hits.SecretNegative said:
Although pros have started to condemn its use a bit.
I think of two:
Loveably Overpowered: The BFG 9000 from Doom. Even if the enormous green energy ball doesn't hit the enemies, they still take loads of damage. My record for beating the Spider Mastermind with the BFG 9000 (which I timed upon his appearance) was 3 seconds.
"GAAAH THIS IS ANNOYING" Overpowered: Shao Kahn's plasma hammer in MK9.
It can't be blocked, it can't be crouched under, it's ridiculously fast, it instantly stuns you 100% of the time, and when it stuns you, it's followed usually by another plasma hammer, so you're stunned for even longer. Hell, I've had it to where the cheap bastard spammed 4 in a row, and by then I had about 1/13 of my health bar left.
Yes, Netherrealm, he's supposed to be a hard boss, and I can understand that, but I don't know why he has to be so cheap.

Ionic Drain in InFamous 2. Just jump into the middle of a group of enemies, press down on the d-pad and enjoy the free healing and electricity refill. It's especially good because it stacks with Bio Leech Overload, which gives you unlimited electricity for a short time. Any enemies you didn't kill? Blow them up with rockets. Lots and lots of rockets.
