Homonym: overpowered character (Godlike)
An "overpowered character" refers to a fictional character who possesses abilities or strengths that far exceed those of others in their universe. This can lead to situations where the character easily overcomes challenges, making conflicts less engaging or suspenseful. Such characters often dominate battles or solve problems with little effort, which can affect the story's balance.
These characters are commonly found in various media, including anime, video games, and comic books. Examples include Superman from DC Comics and Goku from Dragon Ball. While they can be entertaining, overpowered characters may also lead to criticism for reducing narrative tension.
