Most broken character/powers?

[Sean Hollyman]

So out there there's quite a few characters or powers that just seem well.... broken. As in they're too ridiculously powerful or whatever. I wanna know what else is out there!

Gold Experience Reqiuem: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Nullification of Cause and Effect: Gold Experience Requiem's ability is to turn anything, including his opponent's attack and willpower, back to the state of "zero". Hence, it is near invincible, as all "supposed" actions created by an opponent would have been reset (back to point zero). It is mentioned by Giorno himself that he is unsure of the exact workings and limits of Requiem's powers, but it has been shown that its range of influence extends from finger beams, surface contact, and to even being in the mere attention of Requiem.
Requiem's abilities is seen by some fans to be opposite King Crimson's: King Crimson erases the "cause" and keeps the "effect" (i.e time where a bullet would hit him is erased, causing the bullet to warp past him), while Requiem keeps the "cause" but erases the "effect", causing endless scenarios where actions and initiatives are started, but the effects of such does not occur (as shown when Requiem completely halted King Crimson's cause erasing ability).

If the opponent is "killed" by the stand itself, then they will also continuously experience death, as they will die but repeatedly return to point "zero" (i.e Diavolo's endless death loops).

This ability renders Giorno essentially untouchable by anything that would try to hurt him and is perhaps the strongest defense in the series.

Wtf can even hurt it?

Lucius the Eternal from Warhammer 40k.

Lucius the Eternal is the Champion of the Chaos God Slaanesh and a Lord Commander of the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion. Lucius has been blessed by Slaanesh so that when he is slain, no easy task in itself, his killer will eventually transform into Lucius if he takes any pleasure or satisfaction from the killing.

From the 40k wiki:

Lucius is able to constantly reincarnate within the body of any being that manages to kill him, effectively making him immortal. So long as the killer takes some measure of satisfaction from the victory over Lucius, this will result in the victor's body transforming and their soul becoming trapped in Lucius' suit of Power Armour, a daemonic artefact known as the Armour of Shrieking Souls. This armour draws its hellish strength from the thousands of souls trapped within it, providing Lucius with enhanced protection from any onslaught he encounters. Lucius is also able to focus the residual energies of the imprisoned souls' torment into a lethal sonic crescendo on an opponent's mind at will, causing the foe immense pain. Lucius' ancient Mk 4 Power Armour is all but hidden under a writhing skin of tortured flesh.

 

[shootthebandit]

Superman is the most classic example of this. The new batman superman movie will consist of

Batman: do you want me to throw a baterang at some dudes supes?
Superman: nah its good ill just use my super strength

Batman: do you want a lift in my new batplane
Superman: nah its good ill just fly alongside

Batman: do you want me to use me x-ray goggles
Superman: nah its good ill use my x-ray vison

Batman: do you want me to do anything
Superman: ok you can throw a baterang now

Spoiler: parody of an overpowered character with an underpowered sidekick

Elder Scrolls games. The way the character can just freeze time and equip items/drink potions et cetera. It's not just a shitty ill-thought out game mechanic either, it's apparently part of the lore that allows the protagonists to do it. I mostly like Elder Scrolls lore, but that part is just so silly. And that argument doesn't work for Fallout 3 either.

What if the person where to kill themselves like 2 sec after killing him? Even if they feel some satisfaction form killing him, I don't think you would feel well anything after killing yourself. And even if you did so? Your dead body will transform into him. So he would become a dead body. Killed by himself so nowhere to go form there. How it's described it doesn't appear to be that broken. Unless there is some BS reason that wouldn't work.

To me that would be Madara and the whole Shirigam from Naruto. He is so OP that I am baffle at how he was defeated in the first place and don't get me started on the current manga situation.

Spoiler

Ok so Naruto and Sasuke were bestored with god like powers from the sage himself who is like an god and that wasn't enough to beat Madara. It turn out the only way to beat Madara is the sage mother!

 

[sanquin]

Jean Grey from the first 3 x-men movies. Particularly the last film. She basically had the power over the entire friggin' universe. As in, the power over molecules. That means you can alter reality itself. You're basically a god if you can develop that ability enough. Which pissed me off in the movie, as the only thing she ever did there was disassemble molecular structures, making things/people 'dissolve'.

It should be remembered that the reason that Lucius comes back is because Slaanesh brings him back. If Slaanesh doesn't want to, or some other deity doesn't want Lucius back, Lucius won't come back.

If Kharn, champion of Slaanesh's great rival, Khorne, were to kill Lucius, then Slaanesh would have to fight Khorne to do that to Kharn. Alternatively, if Lucius was killed by a landmine, Slaanesh could do that to someone else.

In any case, Slaanesh are Khorne have lots of people that have achieved daemonhood, or are close enough not to be conventionally mortal. Angron, for example, was killed by the Grey Knights and came back.

I would have to give that award to Yukari Yakumo from Touhou.

Yukari has the ability to manipulate boundaries. That goes for any boundary: the boundary between reality and fiction, for example. Basically, she can warp reality in pretty much any way she damn well pleases. Hell, the fact that Gensokyo can even exist is thanks to her abilities. Thank goodness that she's also quite possibly the laziest ass in the series, spending most of her time sleeping, and that conflicts are solved through danmaku battles. Otherwise, she'd be impossible to defeat.

Only group I can think of that could possibly put him down for good would be the Grey Knights, if only because they have no emotions and especially no pride for his soul to latch onto and feed.

On a side note, the big reason your method wouldn't work would be because almost nobody knows about his ability because knowledge of Chaos is forbidden to almost everyone outside of a few organizations, plus the Emperor's Children have been stuck in the Eye of Terror for nearly 10,000 years.

Angron, for example, was killed by the Grey Knights and came back.

The thing about that is that they can't actually kill most of the greater daemons and daemon princes, only banish them for a few centuries. See brother-Captain Stern and that one bird he kills every century.

That's what I meant, Lucius just stays in the materium more.

Ah, ol' Lu. Bringing up W40K brings up a lot of over powered stuff.

The Chaos Gods are not only immortal - they are impossible to defeat. Any attempt to resist them actually makes them stronger - battling Kharne is violence and empowers him, even standing against Tzeentch is an act of hope and change which makes Tzeentch (Who doesn't even want to win) more powerful, any reduction to Nurgle is an expression of entropy, which is his bag, and any feelings at all you have while dealing with Slaanesh empower him... her... it.

Primarchs are pretty much demi-gods when mortal, and actual Gods when made into Daemon Princes. Daemon Prince Primarchs cannot be killed, only sent away for a short time. Mortal Primarchs could do things like hold thousands of tons on their shoulders, survive plasma cannon fire that could destroy a whole city block, and survive in vacuum for hours. The Primarch's father can completely obliterate souls.

Lukas the Trickster, a Space Wolf, has a Stasis Grenade where his second heart should be, that could conceivably put a hundred meter tall Titan into stasis if it ever killed him.

Any human or human like creature empowers them to an extent, yes. Doesn't make them impossible to defeat.

If the nids ate everyone, for example, the chaos gods would lose their power.

Lukas the Trickster, a Space Wolf, has a Stasis Grenade where his second heart should be, that could conceivably put a hundred meter tall Titan into stasis if it ever killed him.

Yeah, that's dodgy. OTOH, I like to think the other SWs stay away from him in case it randomly goes off.

Also, marines probably have a second heart for a good reason.

currently in the DCU i'd say Kyle Rayner. as the white lantern he refilled the universes batteries, escaped an inescapable place. twice. and rewrote the basecode of reality.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Anime in general has some real doozies who would be unstoppable until they stop to boast.

To wit, one ex-Captain Sosuke Aizen of Bleach fame, or more accurately his sword's special power (though he is also probably the most skilled swordsman and spellcaster in that universe too). It is 'perfect hypnosis', the ability to generate flawless illusions of sight, sound, touch or even smell and taste. He can place this on you if you so much as look at his sword while he is activating it. One small weakness is that it can't be used on the blind, but how many blind people could match his other skills?

He is generally subtle in using it, knowing that suddenly changing someone's surroundings could make them aware that they've been hypnotized, but in battles where all combatants can zip around at supersonic speeds, it's simple enough to swap someone's perception of the location of a friend and foe, or do worse. Once you're caught, you can never be completely sure what is real ever again. Combined with everything else he could do, the only possible way for him to lose was for him to trade in his sword's power for a power he considered to be something better at the time. It wasn't.

There was another villain in the same series' next arc who had similarly formidable brainwashing abilities, but at least he had to actually hit you with his sword once for it to work.

Still, not sure if either of those would be any match for the power to reverse anything to zero, particularly since it sounds like Giorno doesn't even have to be aware that something's wrong with his perception for his power to undo the hypnosis or heal sword wounds. At least it could snare Superman easily enough- that guy gets brainwashed like every other week.

How was Madara defeated? That's easy:

Spoiler

He was one shotted by Asspull no Jutsu

Just like the last 400 or so chapters of the manga have revolved around

By now, it's kinda like watching a train crash, and I can't avert my eyes because I just want to see what kind of twisted wreckage remains.

OT: Reishi from Shaman King, a kind of constant, always on, advanced telepathy that extends to emotions and spiritual states, as well as simple thought reading. The guy who has it is one of the most overpowered dudes in any Shounen anyway though, especially EOS.

A few devil fruits from One Piece spring to mind. Venom Venom is OP as balls since touching the guy is a death sentence and most weapons will just be liquified.

You think Aizen is bad, you should see what Accelerator does in the Index anime


Actually Accelerator is a mini god, capable of using vector manipulation to control the world around him. As the man himself said "the atmosphere itself is my weapon

Spoiler: Plasma storm generated, spoiler for space

Yes, that's the entire city below it

Other feats include altering and interacting with magic, something other espers in that verse can't do without killing themselves, and can do so to combat Archangel Gabriel (yes, the same one that destroyed Sadom and Gammorah), defeating an esper whose power, "Dark Matter" [http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Kakine_Teitoku#Dark_Matter], allows him to create a substance whose physical properties and laws are entirely at his beck and call to the point that it violates our present laws, and, in the light novels, punching a building so hard that the earth slowed by 5 minutes.

Yeah, the Index verse is full of OP characters, I can't imagine the reaction to Fiamma of the Right and his ability, the Holy Right.

Got it BS reason it wouldn't work. Honestly the whole power is kind of silly and badly thought out. But I guess the absurdity of it is why people like 40K. Whatever I'm not here to judge (even though I totally am).

Most people don't know about Lucius reincarnating like this. It's like... you meet a warband led by a guy named Lucius the Eternal. Naturally, you assume that it's just a sobriquet, like the Butcher or the Conqueror. So, you kill him in a duel, his followers retreat, and that's that; another foul servant of Chaos slain for the glory of the God-Emperor!

Couple of days later, your men start to comment that you don't look too good. You're face is showing lines all over, your hair's started to come out, and you seem increasingly short with your subordinates.

Couple of days after that, everyone in your platoon is dead, Lucius is back amongst the living, and your face is he latest to get added to the many people who have slain Lucius in the past, and whos faces now adorn his armor, forever twisted in a look of torment and horror. Lucius' ability is pretty broken, because almost no-one, certainly none of his enemies, know about his ability to reincarnate through his enemies.

On topic... does the Sharingan count? I'm not sure it does, since it's main power seems to be the ability to ass-pull new powers as the owner requires them.
