Superman, because he always seems to morph a new power whenever he needs to.
Dr. Manhattan. Its not that he got bored, he just went off to play God for a few hundred millennium or so.

And yes I know both of these have been said before.

Cable at the beginning of Cable and Deadpool. They literally had to nerf him.

Golden Age Superman is, easily, the most overpowered superhero on this side of the planet. They reset the limits (usually to a higher value) of its powers and added new powers each week, some of them were just ridiculous.

Dr. Manhattan was pretty overpowered too, but he never worked as a real "superhero", more like a reference to superhuman characters. And his powers where more godlike than anything...

Squirrel Girl!

I personally think she is actually a very powerful reality warper who is unaware of that fact. Haruhi Suzumiya style

Here are the two things that make batman overpowerd

1) bag of Holding WIth a "JAMES BOND SPECIAL". I say bag of holding because (for all you non D&D nerds out there, it holds EVERYTHING... much like Marry Popin's bag. I say "JAMES BOND SPECIAL" because the dude always HAPPENED to have the one invention that helped him get out of that EXACT situation he had gotten himself into. Tied up with metal chains, no problem this new watch we just HAPPEN to give you is specially designed for JUST THIS SITUATION! WIth batman's Utility belt (back of holding) and his endless "JAMES BOND SPECIALS" he has all the gadget he needs.

2) His cape... That thing is NUTS! So long has he dramatically moves it, it protects him from bullets, explosions, fire, shrapnel, DEATH!

Take that away from him, and he immediately gets easier to kill.

I've gotta go with Superman. Having only a bizarre weakness to a "rare otherworldly mineral" is enough for me to say that he's overpowered to the point of uninteresting. I mean the guy can survive a nuclear blast at ground zero and can fly into the sun. If that's not overpowered, I don't know what is. I guess his other weakness is red sunlight, which is also otherworldly and rare, at least on this planet.

It's pretty easy to be a super hero when damn near nothing freaking hurts you.
well...

superman is also weak to magic

not just otherworldly (yet every freakin villian who has heard Luthor has some) minerals
I was unaware of that. So he regularly beats the crap out of Darkseid and Brainiac, but Zatanna can kick his ass if she wanted to. That's comedy. Speaking of comedy, I'm reminded of a scene in the "World's Finest" cartoon where...

Superman approaches The Joker in a Kryptonite-Proof HAZMAT suit. The Joker menacingly presents an ornately-shaped Kryptonite dragon statue. Superman flatly announces that his suit makes him immune to the substance, prompting a disappointed reaction from The Joker. He then squirts Superman with acid from his corsage. In short: Suit ruined, Superman neutralized, Joker is the most awesome character in D.C. history. Especially when Mark Hamill is voicing him.

*ahem*

MiracleMan/Kid MiracleMan (or MarvelMan, pre-lawsuit)
Molecule Man circa Secret Wars 1
The MaxiMortal (who actually had to switch sexes, go back in time, and have sex with himself, just so he could give birth to himself)
Jamie Braddock
The Celestials (all of them)
Anyone who's ever put on the Infinity Gauntlet
The guardian of the Orange Lantern, Larfleeze
And the Martian Manhunter, circa the "Infernus" storyline. That guy took the whole JLA out easy.

...but not fucking Superman. Shit, Captain Marvel whoops him whenever it's plot-convenient.

Ah, hell...is my geek showing? Sorry about that.

Thor. He's a God. oO

He has activated teh Godmode, but Marvel haven't banned him from the server. =P
Gods can die in Marvel though. Hell Thor is pretty weak in comparison to a number of heroes.

The Sentry. I mean come now, "The power of a million exploding suns"? He's so broken he's only used as a plot device now.

Well, you about got it: Superman.
Pisses me off that pretty much everything is a job for Superman. That being said, Zatanna could probably kill him, and Flash certainly could hurt him.

Dr. Manhattan.....duh?
Doesn't count.

Dr. Strange.

Of course, they get around that by having him fight gods instead of normal crime, so he's still farking awesome.
He was so powerful he refused to get involved in Civil War, for christ sakes.

Edit: Also Phoenix. Cosmic force destroying an entire galaxy just because she had the munchies.
Oh wait, villains are allowed too? If not, then Phoenix doesn't count, as she's/it's an entity/malevolent force of nature. Definitely not a hero.

And if villains are allowed, Jamie Braddock. He could kill you if he wanted to, but he'd probably cook up something far worse. He manipulates reality itself.

In the Marvel universe, the Hulk, because if a charatcer exists in the Marvel universe, chances are, they got their asses kicked by the Hulk.

Why has no one thought to mention Franklin Richards?

He is essentially Dr. Manhattan+ condensed into a little boy. He can alter the reality of the universe, alter molecular matter, has telekinesis, telepathy, psionic blasts, astral projection and precognition.

Probably because I mentioned Onslaught, who, in addition to being a combination of Xavier and Magneto, also absorbed Nate Greys AND Franklin Richards abilities and killed them.

Which is another reason why Onslaught wins this thread a thousand times over.

Isn't Onslaught another one of those characters whose purpose is to be overpowered, like Dr. Manhattan?

Or are we just not bothering with context for clarity? :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_of_Killers#Saint_of_Killers

The Saint of Killers is completely impervious to harm. Bullets bounce off him, a direct hit from a tank doesn't affect him, being underneath a collapsing mountain simply means digging himself out, and being hit in the chest with a nuclear missile causes no damage to him or his clothes. He can easily knock away tanks with a simple kick and he can be hit by a speeding truck without flinching. He is an expert marksman able to draw his guns at superhuman speeds. He possesses a pair of Walker Colt revolvers fashioned from the Angel of Death's sword. They possess unlimited ammunition, never jamming or needing to be reloaded. They always hit their mark, even piercing modern tank armor to reach the intended target, and always inflict fatal injuries or death regardless of circumstance or nature of the victim (including angels and demons). Even God and the Devil are not immune to the bullets, considering that the Saint has killed them both (the only being ever to have survived being shot by the Saint was Cassidy, but Garth Ennis later admitted that he was still working out the character of the Saint at that point and was a technical mistake). Anyone holding one of the guns can see the spirits of the many people that the Saint has personally killed.

I call god mode sue even worse than superman, batman and doc manhattan...nice going

Edit: Also, the joker sometimes seem to qualify, often being either crazy prepared, indestructible or both. The Dark Knight didn't really help, in fact, it was pretty easy to overlook back before it I guess...but I digress....

how about a move, the OMNISLASH, it's one of the things that makes Cloud a bad ass. Yes, he's the only one that can hold his own against Sepiroth, but if you really think about it, with out Omnislash, sephy would kick Clouds blond butt.
