5 Characters who are weirdly powerful

You ever see a series as a vs debater and you think a character is probably gonna be around this strong due to their role in the series and they end up being way stronger then you would have predicted. This is just a quick blog detailing 5 times that happened to me. These are characters who are either way stronger then you would have expected from their verse or are a lot stronger then their role in the verse would suggest. Or both.

5: Naraku (Inuyasha)

Inuyasha isn't the strongest shonen out there. It can maybe hang with Part 1 Naruto or BNHA, but it's not that strong. That said it's big bad Naraku is ridiculous. In a series that struggles to hit megaton range, Naraku just casually melts mountains with his miasma. He can regen immediatly from any bit of his physical body and even if you blow up his physical body and can regenerate further so long as a piece of his soul exists beyond spacetime. Inuyasha has pretty good hax for it's power but Naraku takes it to another level. He's got mind manipulation, telekinesis, absorption, power absorption, can neg regen, can emanate miasma that melts away things it touches, can duplicate, can turn people's body parts into black holes, reflect attacks, limited time travel and more then anything he's just really hard to kill. 

I get it, he's the main villain. But like Inuyasha is the main protagonist and he's got like 1 type of hax. Sesshoumaru is his main rival and he's got maybe 2. 

4: Scooby Doo

Scooby Doo is the mascot for a show about solving seemingly supernatural mysteries and showing they aren't supernatural. He's the comic relief due to being comedically scared. Why is he so powerful?

He apparently has legit scaling to characters with kiloton feats, scaling from Black Samurai who Shaggy fought, Black Samurai creating Earhquakes in his fights and Shaggy also being able too. He's MHS from outrunning monsters made of legit lightning. He's got gag toonforce time-rewinding and regen and can interact with legit ghosts. Also he somehow can fly and paint doors into existence and a whole bunch of toon shenangans. 

This one gets me because it's so contrary to what you would think given the show's premise. You can say most of the same things about Courage, and in fact I think Courage is easily stronger. But that was a show where the premise was about confronting actual supernatural threats. Scooby Doo is a show where the premise is about confronting false supernatural threats and yet he has these crazy superhuman feats. 

3: GLaDOS (Portal)

I start researching GLaDOS feats from Portal thinking she's gonna be a street leveler. After all Portal is a fairly short game series, the heroine is a normal human whose only superhuman ability is to create portals, and I had seen both games to completion and didn't remember anything super crazy.

Turns out I was wrong. Almost immediatly I ran into the fact that GLaDOS has FEMTOSECOND reactions, reactions fast enough to react to MFTL+ characters, something that is actually somewhat consistent, can technopathically control a city-side structure, and can access a multiverse. That multiverse gives her infinite resources and potentially access to anything possible, as well as universal to outright multiversal destructive capabilities. FTL Travel, Time Travel, Inter-Dimensional Travel all possible as well. I had no idea GLaDOS was gonna be so broken when I started researching her. 

2: Mikeru (Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch)

This is a silly magical girl anime about idol mermaids, why does it have someone like this as it's villain? 2/3rds of the manga is the first arc with Gaito then in the last bit this guy shows up and basically does to MM what Kaguya did to Naruto power-wise.

In a verse that already got way stronger then you would expect, a verse where one of the villains plans is to flood the lands of the Earth with water from the dark sea, Mikeru is described as a transcendent power vastly stronger then anything else who can merge a dimension with at the very least all of the human world, and possibly the entire Earth. Literally the only one else in the verse relative to his power and hax is Aqua Regina, the goddess of the oceans who is basically just the plot device of the series and even that is questionable. 

Despite the fact that he only appears in the last 1/3rd of the manga he has way more powers then anyone else. He can teleport, warp dimensions, control minds, absorb people and use them as shields or use their powers entirely, warp minds, create love, enter into dreams etc. This is a verse that before Mikeru showed up, a hax character was a character that had a little bit of mind manipulation or could freeze people. Then this guy shows up and starts warping reality and playing around with higher plane shenanigans. He's way stronger then you would expect from his series. 

1: Creamy Mami (Creamy Mami)

Speaking of, this one is fairly similar. Creamy Mami is a Magical Girl from an 80s series and if you know 80s series, they will use something like magic as an excuse to do anything. That said Creamy Mami is a slice of life series about a girl who turns into a singer with her magic. How hax could it be? 

Turns out, a ridiculous amount. Creamy Mami can duplicates, create magical shields that reflect attacks, make herself good at any skill, make things come to life, sent herself through dimensions by accident, control technology, magically moved a boat, fought a unicorn whose magic maintained forest dimension, and she RESTORED ALL OF TIME ONCE. That's not even getting into the fact that she and Minky Momo got into a fight where they turned Kaiju-Sized and destroyed a city or the fact that she and the other pierrot magical girls formed a club that defeated an extra-dimensional alien with a magic explosion signifigant in size to the Moon. Or the fact that she fought a dragon without her magical powers

She's an idol singer Pierrot. An Idol Singer! Why?! And don't even get me started on Pino Pino, that little alien guy who gave her, her powers. At one point he's implied to be omnipresent. 

If people seem to like this blog, might make more. There's plenty of characters that seem bizarrely strong for their role and verse.
