Starting Overpowered

[Smarts 1,620]

I was thinking about this just now and thought it would make for good discussion. This is kind of a cliche in games, but you know when you are introduced to your main protagonist and they are very overpowered? Like, he/she have all these abilities, powerful equipment, and just feel invincible. Only to have it all taken away not long after.

 

Any of you have what you consider to be your favourite overpowered character from the start? Like, in terms of just how badass they are?

The guy from Infinity Blade III was overpowered... until otherwise

Fei Fong Wong, Xenogears.

Let's just say, in a world of 4 storey and taller mecha, this guy can do what they do unarmed.

If I say anything else, it would be spoilers.

Altair from Assassin Creed

you start as a Master Assassin with all this cool gadgets to inflict pain only to be brought back to apprentice level later

 

And that guy from Disgaea 4 forgot his name

he used to be really powerful vampire but he now refuses to drink blood ~ he still have some his power though through the "Power of Sardines" 

 

Fou lu from Breath of Fire 4

hes introduced as the emperor god of the fou empire but he lost most of his powers during his hundred of years slumber

he slowly regains it though during the course of the game and be able to transform to different kinds of dragon

 

Haseo~ The Terror of Death from .hack gu

a really awesome character ~ hes powerful enough to fight 100 pk players at once

he got data drained later though and his character reformats to lvl 1 and loses all his powerful equipment

That's probably the earliest example of it that I can think of.  Another one would be Samus in Metroid Prime.

I think Kratos from God of War 2

Any class you roll in WoW... "I'll roll a Hunter, they're OP this patch, everyone needs them for their raid teams!" ... 10 seconds after hitting top level, Blizzard update "Everything else is buffed, hunters now deal 1 damage across the board"  :okiedokielokie:

 

 

In all seriousness though, *scrolls through steam games* ... 10 minutes later... I've not actually played any games where you start overpowered, that i can remember anyway I guess i could say Altair
