I made this thread out of pure curiosity

I want to know who's the  most overpowered anime/cartoon character of all time

It doesn't matter which anime their from as long as you think their OP

I personally think that the most op character has to be either Goku or that girl from mirai nikki

harmanp : Whis. from cartoons i would say superman good question

Lina Inverse from Slayers!  She has spells that make her fly, shield against attacks, heal, then she has misc dark and light magic, then she has one spell Dragon Slave that will destroy a whole town, and another Giga Slave that can destroy a whole world or even the universe according to how much power she needs.

i would say Reina or Rena same character just two names because she is really strong especially with her meat clever as a weapon and by girl from mirai nikki are you talking about Yuno because i hated her for so many reasons

harmanp : overpowered ? i would have to say jake from adventure time he can change into anything or grow however big he wants,and goku because his power is OVER 9000!!!!!! lol those are the overpowered poeple XD

I love the show, but honestly I would have to say Final Getsuga Ichigo.
Bleach pretty much follows the formula the whole way of heroes are strong, stronger villains come and force them to get stronger until they finally succeed - but it works SO well! Ichigo being the main protagonist, he is naturally going to be the most powerful person in the show, but the way it happens, his journey there, and the people he faces...they aren't just mindless bad guys with a one-track mind. As much as I loved DBZ, Frieza, Cell, Buu - they all had one goal: destroy and/or rule EVERYTHING. Bleach does not do that, instead making the watcher connect even with the villains and spending the entire show trying to figure out and reconstruct certain characters throughout. Of course, this makes it all the more satisfying watching their fights, and by the end of it all, Aizen (claiming himself to be God-like, naturally) cannot even comprehend the heroes power.
That's why Ichigo is my vote for the most over powered character, and also one of my favorites.

There is only one over powered imaginary creature known to man. Need I utter his name? Of all my intense research on this topic, I believe I have the authority to say ...without a doubt ....ITS SUPERMAN .

hands down the most overrated figment of our imaginations to ever live. In his comics and shows combined, they gave him every buff you could ever imagine. Like adding money in a Rothschild's  bank account, he has been broken for years.

Anime: I would have to say either Goku, Bills, or Whis. Goku's nearly on par with Bills, whom is a God of Destruction and his job is literally to destroy sections of the universe, Bills is as well the current strongest DBZ antagonist. But the Bills thing has yet to be completed so we don't know for sure how him & Goku's power will progress. Whis, now Whis was able to take Bills out with a single punch, thing is we've never seen Whis fight & we barely have a hit as to what Whis' power is like so it's hard to tell. Also, I bet by the next DBZ movie/series Goku will probably be fully on par with Bills, if not stronger.


Cartoon: Superman, he's just designed to be OP, I swear and most of the time his OPness just naturally comes to him. One of the reasons I'm not a big Superman fan, his power tends to come to him naturally and he doesn't need to do much work for it, I just don't like that.



Which of them is stronger is hard to tell, probably depends on how you're figuring Superman's power. If you just compile together all of the versions of Superman then he's probably stronger, he's had so many versions and so many of them are so OP that compiled together he's just plan OP even for an OP character. If you're going by a single version though it depends on the version, but whatever version it is it'd probably be more of a fair fight.

Cheesy I know but I would say Madara Uchiha and here are a few reasons why:
Unlimited regeneration
Unlimited chakra
Tai-jutsu master
Can use wood style
Has Eternal Mangeky? Sharingan and Rinnegan
Ultimate susanoo+ susanoo clones
Master strategist/ tactician
10 tails jinch?riki
Able to single handedly counter every other shinobi on the planet.
Uses cheat codes...........

I don't understand why people keep saying Goku. Is he insanely powerful? Absolutely. But in the anime/manga, he is not by any means have a huge advantages over the villains. Plenty of times, his enemies were stronger than him, and it took an ascension to win. And even then, when he ascended to a new level, he was always just a little stronger than the villain. Frieza, for example. Even after he became a Super Saiyan, it was near equal. Heck, Frieza almost won when he knocked him out. Had Gohan not have come back and distracted him long enough, Frieza might have blasted the area Goku landed just to make sure he was dead. Never know. Cell was stronger than him, and he had to have his son take him on. Buu was stronger than him, as he couldn't maintain his SS3 form long enough to beat him. The only reason why he won that one is because Mr. Satan (Hercule) convinced all the earthlings to lend him a little of their energy. He had to fuse with Vageta to be able to take on Omega Shenron.
So, yes, he was extremely powerful. But in terms of the storyline there, he was not OVER-powered.

I see overpowered as when a character is just ridiculously above the villains or dangers in general.

I would say Superman is the most overpowered character. He gets his power from the energy from a yellow sun (like ours). With that factor, there is actually no limit to how strong he can be. In the earlier comics, he was always as strong as he needed to be to get the job done. Unless there were kryptonite involved, he was never really in any danger. If anything, the only concern was if he would do what he needs to do fast enough for all those in danger to be safe. But as long as he is in the presence of a yellow sun, he was literally indestructible. Nothing could really harm him. He also doesn't need to breathe, as he can travel in space just fine. there was one time he flew to a star on the verge of explosion, and he simply blew it all away using nothing but his 'super breath'. They made him so insane that his breath cold blow away an exploding star.
They basically gave him 2 weaknesses. Kryptonite, and night time. Kryptonite weakens him and can kill him if he gets enough of it, and he is limited in power during the night. But there was one instance where he overcame the night thing. When he was about to lose, he quickly flew all the way to the sun. He entered it and stayed in the very center, absorbing massive amounts of yellow sun energy. At that point, he flew back and basically whipped his butt with the villain he was fighting.
Just to combat the fact that he is overpowered, they made many times where he does end up losing and even dying. But most of those instances used kryptonite as the main reason why he loses. They made him so ridiculously overpowered that the writers couldn't even come up with more ways for him to lose without derailing from all the powers and abilities they have already given him. Kryptonite was pretty much the only thing they could use to make their own character lose. When the creators make a character so powerful that even they can't think of more creative ways to beat him, you officially have an overpowered character.

Although, you could make the argument that Franklin Richards is the most overpowered character in comic history. Take a look at this article, and it explains the extent of his abilities. It is ridiculous.

For cartoon/comic wise, I think you could sum up over powered with Goku,  Superman, and Thor.

The reason for Thor is that he doesn't really have any weakness aside from asgardian magic, so even super man would lose after the sun gives out and the source of his infinite power was slowly diminished leaving him tired and null.

JackalHyde : I didn't even think about Thor. I also remember how it was specifically stated in the comic book series (and by the creators) that basically the only reason he ever 'struggles' with non Asgardian enemies is because Thor intentionally holds back. You know you have an overpowered character when he intentionally holds back just because he feels bad about how he would easily dominate if he didn't .

rcarter2 : I can't specifically remember what it was from, I think it was one of the animated Avengers movies, but Thor is called down from asgard to deal with some super class villains that were terrorizing these guys at a shipping dock, he warned them nicely and they threw Thor around like he was a chew toy, then as they started to walk off he decided to stop holding back as much and let loose a little and decimated them in a few seconds.

But yeah, I think my thing with Goku isn't about the fact that he is just off the bat inherently powerful, because there are guys that already started off way stronger than Goku has, I think my thing is that he is always able to ascend to that next level to get things done, he pushes himself that extra mile that nobody else can seem to reach without knowing it existed prior, but he's also been killed plenty of times before and left in limbo till his friends could revive him again.

I just classify him as over powered cause the story eventually engineers itself to go in his favor, or come back around to his favor as it were.

With Superman, I mean I can't really even put a gauge on what the extent of his ability is, cause to my knowledge he's never actually shown off, aside from the tom-foolery he used against the Elite anti-heroes, I even believe he held back to an extent when facing death against Doomsday, but I do know that he can get tired if he's too battle torn and usually heads for the sun, but if he and Thor battled I think Thor would realize later that the sun was powering him and would do something to take the fight else where without a yellow sun.

I know they'd never fight because they're 'heroes' but things like manipulation, or mind-control devices have happened before, or those little Star Fish working for Starro.

It would be either Tetsuo from Akira or Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann in Gurren Lagann. Tetsuo has the power of Ultimate Telekenisis. Tetsuo could basically do anything from telekinetic flight to destroying a tank with his mind. Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann is basically a mech that is a thousand light years big. It's bigger than the universe itself

Can't say that Superman is overpowered, Batman defeated him in the Dark Knight returns and he was just a old man then. Even if Oliver helped Batman a little in that battle that does not mean he cheated.. He just wanted to give Oliver chance to avenge. But anyways don't really know who is the most over powered in the end, every hero has their strength and weaknesses.

Cant' really say that Goku is so overpowered too, he defeated the most powerful being in the universe (Kid Buu), by using the energy from the people of the earth so it was not only his own powers that made him strong in that battle. I guess Kid Buu would be the most overpowered character there is, he fought against 2 most powerful Saiyan's and his other half and defeated them quite easily. Even thou Goku said he did not fight with his full strength because he wanted to give Vegeta a chance to fight too, I don't believe even the SSJ3 could have defeated that monstrosity.

But in the end Dragon Ball series are so insane that I guess they could beat about any other anime/comic characters quite easily.

So my final answer to this question is that Hercule Satan is the most overpowered character there is.

Gilgamesh from Fate/Zero. He is insane. His phantasm, the Gate of Babylon, allows him to draw on other the power of other noble phantasms, effectively making him the strongest servant. I cannot remember exactly how he was defeated, but I am pretty certain that it was his arrogance that cost him the win. If he did not constantly flaunt his powers and believe that he was the best, he would have easily annihilated all of the other characters. 

Well, I only watch Inazuma Eleven as anime, and the overpowered character there is Theres Tolue, the captain of the Argentinean team the Empire. He can stop ANY shot with his hissatsu AIAN WORU (Iron Wall)

The first character that came to mind was Captain Planet from Captain Planet and the Planeteers. He is very overpowered but the only things that effect him are true hatred and pollution. He can control weather and climate manipulation, ability to generate and control earth, fire, wind, water, lightning, magma and magnetism, near invincibility, telepathy, empathy, flight and superhuman strength.Captain Planet's abilities are never clearly defined within the show, he always has a way of defeating his opponents one way or another. He can shape-shift and alter his structure to take on the properties of
any element or material as well as transforming other objects in a
similar fashion. Captian Planet is very overpowered.

I have to agree with you there on the dbz, but I don't think goku. I think that would go to freeza. Freeza was just too strong and kind of made his whole section of the show pretty boring. Of was that just because I was watching the Kai version...
