most overpowered (broken) comic book hero

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

Anyone who doesn't say Superman is delusional.

He's faster than The Flash.
He's stronger than the Incredible Hulk.
He has better eye lasers than Cyclops.
He has super hearing, X-Ray Vision, he's bullet-proof, and his ONLY weakness is Kryptonite, which as far as I know only exists in meteorites and outer space.

He's also vulnerable to magic. Marvel can beat Superman.

AND HARRY POTTER.... Well anyone in that world willing to use the killing curse. So Neville could bring Superman down.

 

[Parallel Streaks]

Red Hulk and Thor. Hulk is repeatedly stated to be one of few of the strongest creatures on Earth. Not anymore, to keep bringing back drama they have to bring in more enemies that can out-match The Hulk, until there are dozens.

Thor is definitely the most powerful though, even if it is justified by being the son of a Norse God and an Earth Goddess. He can defeat anything and everything, making him stupidly overpowered.

Also, not to be pedantic, but Superman is NOT faster than The Flash. I'm reasonably certain that every time they've been matched up, either they've tied, or The Flash has come out ahead. Further, DC speedsters have the power to "borrow" or "lend" speed, move so fast that they can vibrate through solid objects, and access the Speed Force, all things which Superman has rarely, if ever, been demonstrated as capable of doing on his own.

Problem with superman is that he has TO MANY powers. And before you say I KNOW let me touch on a rarely point out problem. Check it, Superman could PROBABLY vibrate through a wall, but with invulnerability from all things EARTH, why the F$*K would he want/have to...

 

[DrDeath3191]

Superman and Dr. Manhattan. They're both freakin gods.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Though not a full hero, this did happen once.

Spoiler

Yea they actually gave batman a green lantern ring at one point.

The other would be The spectre, he only appears when the world wil end without him.

Spoiler

He pretty much has every power concievable.

 

[Woodsey]

Superman - isn't that why no one likes him?

 

[Woodsey]

Dr. Manhatten.

Superman actually has many weaknesses, you just have to be smart about it.

Here's a good one: Superboy Prime.

Also, Batman.

HOW is BATMAN overpowered?!

Batman has stopped alien invasions, defeated the predator, defeated superman, and has contingency plans for EVERYTHING.

But batman got his ass majorly whupped by the Darkness without Jackie even trying. Also, the Darkness is darkness and the power of chaos and creation, he can make anything or anyone just by thinking it and Jackie once regenerated from being just half a jawbone so

I hope you all realise Batman is not a superhero.

 

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

Wolverine.

Didn't he get blown up by a nuke and survive or something?

YES if i remember correctly VENOM was after Wolverine to make him his Symbiote. a cyborg was nice enough to NUKE him.... TWICE
the second time, Wolverine woke up just in time to see the missile heading toward him. Said something to the extent of "this just aint my day"

 

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

you know "BROKEN" isn't just to Comics, Lets throw some MANGA in there. Like ED from Fullmetal Alchemist

 

[BloodSquirrel]

I don't read too many comics, but from what I've read Dr.Manhatten from Watchmen sorta had that feel about him.

Overpowered is relative. Dr. Manhatten had to be as powerful as he was for the sake of the plot. His power was balanced by his detachment.

"Jesus" Cable, on the other hand, was an annoying Mary Sue who knew everything and served as a black hole that not storytelling could escape from.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

A golden oldie...

Now, I don't know how many of you dogs of the scurviest sea read comics, but I do a big pile of comics. One thing that blows my mind is how completely insane the powers in the DC universe are. Look at Superman. This guy has more powers than French restaurants have ways to say "your taste in wine is atrocious". He has powers to do with every part of his body and then some. He forgets powers sometimes. He can shoot heat rays out of his eyes, frost breath from his mouth and red sun radiation from his ass. He's that sort of crazy dude. All because he absorbs solar radiation.

Look at Batman. His power? The anti-power. Sure, he should be some tame, kung fun master of not much, but instead he's the hottest shit to ever shit on a plate. You got a power? He'll find your weakness and give you seizures or heart attacks. He'll light you on fire when you're sleeping or make you recharge your green lantern ring in the power outlet. Ten thousand volts of fuck you Batman. That's Batman.

But the fucking Flash, my god, my FUCKING GOD, this man has the greatest powers of all. If Superman's powers are being sucked off by twin super models and batman coming home to discover your wife is not only bisexual but has two friends she wants you to 'get in on' then the Flash is an orgy with a thousand women who also want to pay your World of Warcraft billing. And click the mouse for you. This man is just that fucking hot. They have to power him down in the comics half the time just to keep him from doing everyone else's job.

Ok first off, he can travel at lightspeed. Mother fuck! Not only does he travel at lightspeed, but time slows down for him. So he feels like he's having a casual jog or reading the paper, meanwhile, his feet are moving so fast you can hear him coming from Montana while he's already gotten to Arizona. That's fucking fast. But wait! The ability to move at lightspeed just isn?t fucking enough!

I know! Christ this guy can punch you so many times in a second you've been hit five times in the cock and two times everywhere else. You think you?re about to fight the Flash and then it hits you, for the last split second he's beaned your beanbags with more blows than you had sperm. But no, there's more!

The Flash can also vibrate through walls. Now last I heard, you can not move so fast you can vibrate through walls, so what actually happens is the Flash is so fast he can pick and choose the movement of his individual molecules and move them through other solid objects, phasing through solid matter like it ain't no thing. I mean you think a guy who runs at lightspeed would run into shit but no, the Flash just goes right through them. To top that with a cherry and some whipped cream (which the Flash made in like a millisecond, fucker) he can selectively choose to cause objects to be 'okay' afterwards or FUCKING EXPLODE. That?s right. He can run through you and make you blow up by transfering kinetic energy into you. Like Jesus. It's bad enough you can't hit this guy, but he doesn't even have to punch you. Now your testicles have exploded and you're thinking you're about to hit him. Jesus? Just give it up. He's the fucking Flash.

Now imagine that somehow there's someone who can get around the Flash blowing your balls up secret ninja technique. Ok. He can also control the flow of energy between objects. This power makes no sense but basically he can throw a rock at you, and you think it's going slow and then he's like WHOOHOOO WIZARDLY FLASH POWERS and bam it's going at lightspeed. So he can throw seven million rocks at you in a second then make them all goes different speeds thus striking your nads with seven million rocks one after the other.

But wait! There's more! He can also take energy from the very power of speed and make clothes out of it. Yes. Flash makes his pants out of GOES FAST. The man is so fast he can make Flash pants that GOES FAST go right into. I don?t even start to understand the physics of that but basically SPEED == REALLY TIGHT UNDERWEAR AND COOL LIGHTNING THINGIES OVER THE EAR. You would think this is the end of it but ok let's say Flash is fighting Superman and shit he's going to lose and FUCK how is Superman THIS fucking strong? I don't know he must be Superman fused with Batman into some sort of guy with tons of plans on how to punch you far harder than anyone else ok to end it off the Flash can GO BACK OR FORWARD IN TIME ON COMMAND.

How do you beat this dude? You're thinking you're hashing him good, laying down the beatdown, missing your balls and suddenly BAM YOUR MOM FELL DOWN THE STAIRS TWENTY YEARS AGO and there's a dent in your forehead and Superman not thunk so gud no more. Actually she didn't fall down the stairs the Flash put speed into them so they fell up her! Fuck you Flash! You moved the stairs to Soviet fucking Russia! RUSH-A! *****.

Oh, and lastly his greatest power is he isn't fast in bed. He takes it slow and gets all the ladies with his superpowers then actually satisfies them in the sack. Who the Hell is this guy? You?d think he could AT LEAST be a premature ejaculator since his penis is moving at lightspeed but NOOOO he?s even good in bed.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Wolverine sucks cock and should go die in a freak greasefire.

 

[XJ-0461]

Superman, because... well I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rp2f2OcCpQ&feature=player_profilepage says it the best.

 

[Julianking93]

Superman. Thats why I don't like him. He's too indestructable.

This is why I'm a marvel fan.. they are balanced.... well some of them. *coughs Ghost Rider* but generally the "Broken" ones are the villains, and that adds some terror to the playing field. The problem with "bigger and Badder" is you eventually miss the whole point of it. Like yu-gi-oh. Yugi was a great PLAYER, he'd have a hand of SHIT and some how add it all together in an awesome way and win the fucking day. He was at least creative. There was one time where he was fighting Kiba. Kiba had the ultimate blue eyes out and yugi had SHIT for life, nothing on the board, and a shit hand. he had an undead elephant, karibo, fusion, multiply, and some warrior elf. so what did he do, he fuzed his undead elephant TO the ultimate blue eyes creating a bad fusion that made the thing literally melt every turn, he played multiply on karibo so he had A LOT (and karibo detonates when you do damage to him nullifying all damage) and placed the elf behind karibo. BAMB the dude totally turned the game around with ingenuity and creative THINKING!! now in Yu-gi-oh GX and Yu-gi-oh 50's all these jokers have are a bunch of OVER powered cards that hey continually pull every GAME that have the effects equivalent to I"VE PUT HIM ON THE BOARD SO YOU LOSE" There's no CREATIVENESS there. NONE!!

You go for bigger and badder and you soon get Level 5 super sayajins that simply LEVELING UP TO LEVEL 5 Super Sayajins fucks up the very planet they are trying to save, they sneeze and Bermuda is GONE, and the shock wave of their punches destroys the Continents ... THATS NOT FUN, no wonder Dragonball AF http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/Sword_of_Geddon/ss5goku.jpg never got off the ground. the shear damage from powering up to level 5 would make the sun go supernova, turn into a black hole and suck in all the planets, leaving what was our solar system an empty rock infested playground for those assholes to duke it out.

I like it when they use creativity, when it's not necessarily the bigger or badder power (the i can hit harder or shoot BIGGER beams) it's the, my power is different, I move left when you move right, and now you have to think outside your box to deal with me powers.

But that's just me.

 

[johnzaku]

I don't read too many comics, but from what I've read Dr.Manhatten from Watchmen sorta had that feel about him.

Yeah, but he was a psychological pansy

It's kinda funny, he has the power of god, yet he doesn't feel he can really use it. He even sees the future and does nothing to prevent cataclysm.

He's more detached. he's neither HERO or VILLAIN or at least NOT in the way that we (as individuals) view right and wrong. Life and death are pretty much meaningless when he sees no real "DIFFERENCE". Its not that he doesn't CARE that they are dead, it's that after there dead, there's NO change in his eyes. Yes he does see Cataclysm's but also sees PAST it. He sees the effects of the Cataclysm outside the here and now. So as horrible as something is, it may prevent something even WORSE down the road. He is also IN all these times at the same time, so it splits things for him, he's with his girlfriend and telling her he loves her and he'll never leave but at the same time, some years down the road, he's also making out with another girl.

This is not saying that he doesn't need SERIOUS couch time with a professional though.... WOW!

You make excellent points. My impression was that he's had very weak willpower, which makes him all the more frightening.

When he was studying to be a watchmaker and his dad told him to go into science, he complied without complaint. He gives in easily to temptations and the way he experiences time, he feels "like a puppet who can see the strings".

The Sentry from Marvel. He's like an uninteresting Dr. Manhatten.

...because Marvel doesn't have overpowered characters, amirite?

Sentry, Hulk, everyone with Cosmic Power ever, Thor, Wolverine, Dr Strange, etc... Most of the time writers just make them less powerful than they're supposed to be. Not to mention stupid matchups like Wolvering beating Lobo, Black Panther beating Mephisto, Spider-man beating Firelord, etc.

It's something inherent in the superhero-genre, I suppose. Especially in big universes like the Marvel 616 or Ultimate, or the DCU. It's also one of the reasons comics set in such 'verses suck.

 

[dark-amon]

It has to be dr. Manhattan, I know he has been mentioned countless times already, but that just proves the point!
He's a god as far as the laws of fysics can allow a god. He's immortal, he can control his veary substanse. He is in the terms of fysics undefeatable.
