This is just a fun little blog I wanted to do giving 5 characters that are really broken from my favorite verses, not because of their raw power but because they are just ridiculously hax for their rough power tier. Ther's stronger characters then the 5 I'm gonna mention here, and there's even characters more hax for their raw power, with most of these characters not even being really that hax for their power, these are just 5 that I find particularly stick with me relative to how strong they are. As a side note I'm going to avoid DC since DC has a lot of characters that have ridiculously broken hax for their level of raw power and I could fill an entire list like this with DC characters. These are arranged in no particular order.
5: Angels (Divine Comedy)
Stat-wise Angels are probably in the multi-continental to planetary range scaling from Lucifer's fall that he tanked despite losing his angelic status which sent all the land on one hemisphere of the Earth rushing to the other side of the Earth as well as from Beatrice's presence making the whole celestial sphere of Mercury light up.
So Dantean Angels are ridiculously hard to kill because they are "actus purus". For those of you not up on your Middle Ages Theology, actus purus means that the thing is made of pure actuality with no potentially, the thing has a perfect existence with no capability of being anything other then what they are, their essence being exactly identical to everything they do. This was supposed to be a trait only God had and Dante giving Angels this property was mildly heretical. Being actus purus means they are "infinitely real" and transcend "matter and form" or the physical and conceptual planes of being. As such they are a form of changeless eternal absolute existence and require absolute plane attacks to effect, absolute plane attacks a formless being transcending conceptual existence. This isn't to say they are greater then concepts but rather they are more real then concepts and vs debating trying to hit them with anything physical to conceptual attacks would be like trying to punch an intangible character with a tangible strike, it simply won't effect them. Even outside that Angels possibly have a really cool durability feat where they form the final sphere near the infinite shining point that is God's presence, whose motion provides all the motion in the universe. It's kind of arguable how large the Dantean universe is ranging from about solar system sized to universal sized to infinite to a literal 4-dimensional hypersphere depending on your interpretation of some lines in Paradiso but this would still be a pretty good dura feat regardless.
That's not even getting into all the other stuff they can do. Because they're looking eternally into God's perfection they percieve a perfect timeless eternity and know the entirety of the past, present and future all at once and can see everything going on within them. They don't have a ton more powers beyond this, save for some photokinesis, but just how hard they are to kill or even really effect is why I often have them in the back of my mind as a really broken character.
4: Isabeau de Baviere (Puella Magi)
Maybe just because I really liked Tart Magica but I always thought Isabeau was not given enough credit for how broken she is. In terms of power Isabeau is clearly country level, her barrier covered all of France and she was stated to be able to destroy all of France although a lot of people seem to forget she could do this literally as soon as she transformed into her magical girl state for the first time, meaning she's most likely become much stronger since.
In terms of though...the reason Isabeau is so dangerous is that she's essentially a hybrid magical girl, witch and incubator and she has the abilities of all of them. As a witch she's got reality-warping strong enough to warp reality inside of her own country sized barrier and can somehow just remove the invisibility from witches although, she can mind hax an entire fortress of people, passively absorb life force and despair to grow stronger. As an incubator she can grant wishes, can exist as a soul which can enter dreams and make new bodies for her if her old one is destroyed. She also has a magical girl's resistances to almost every witch abilities, can enchant mundane objects to magical ones, telepathy on a regional scale, and another layer of regen added onto an incubator's impressive one.
Even beyond all that Isabeau tops it off with unique abilities. Not only was she able to just remove the invisibility of witches altogether, possibly via her reality-warping, but she can spontanteously combut enemy's making their skin burn regardless of durability and if she grants someone a wish she can strip their free will from them entirely which is how she made her own army of enemy magical girls. Isabeau is really broken and iI think it's a shame she doesn't come up as often, possibly because she's overshadowed by Kriemhild Gretchen's Avatar in terms of hax.
3: Noise (Pretty Cure)
Noise is the villain of Suite Pretty Cure. In terms of power I think he's around country level because he scale above statements of creating and destroying kingdoms. Some people argue that those shouldn't be interpreted literally but I haven't really seen much evidence that it's not directly what it says, and I tend to avoid trying to interpret into things when I can. If you do think he's like town level, then it just makes his hax level even more impressive for his power.
Noise is the embodiment of sadness and so long as it exists in the world he will return giving him a form of godly regen that is nigh impossible to beat. It's speculated if sadness is removed from the world he will disappear but umm....good luck with that. That's not even getting into Noise's other stuff. Been a long time since I've seen Suite but Noise has country scale and iirc planetary scale petrification. He can seal people and can mimic powers used against him which is how he learned to seal people, as well as gaining resistance to any power used against him. Not to mention he can just outright absorb to steal their power like he did to the Minor Trio.
He's got more minor but useful abilities like summoning Negatones and telekinesis but he doesn't really need it at this point, I would be hard pressed to think of characters at country level I know that could defeat Noise since they would need to basically end sadness to stop him.
2: Devastation Wraiths (Freedom Force)
Devastation Wraiths might not be that hax relative to power level if you use dimensional tiering or scale basically everyone in Freedom Force to multiversal, but given that I don't subscribe to that they have insanely potent hax for their power level. Before I get into how strong they are I have to get into how strong the Wraiths of Chaos are.
Wraiths of Chaos are creatures born from paradox, from the disruptions of spacetime from what it was originally. They're some of the strongest beings in the game's universe and easily scale to Nuclear Winter who made it cold enough for their to be snow in Cuba and far above two basic fire elementals being stated to be able to burn down Patriot City. They're treated as very dramatic threats to Man-Bot, one of FF's Top Tiers and very likely scale to Gods like Quetzalcoatl, another really strong member of Freedom Force and a God, and thus to Pan (Who one of the FF Scenarios depicts as similar in strength because they are both "gods") who could move around his flying island, so they are at least city level, possibly island level. There is also numerous statements of higher-dimensional stuff if you prefer that with Pan being called higher dimensional and the Celestial Clock that the Wraiths spawn being said to be dimensions higher then the world humanity knows.
For city-island level characters, their hax is crazy. Starting off small, they can control the density and temperature of things and exude a painful miasma, a dangerous gas protecting from melee attacks, can detect chaos and powerful energy, and can resist mental attacks. They can also absorb the essence of entities, removing their lifeforce to automaatically kill them and this seems to make the Wraiths stronger and and give them more powers. But that's not even half the level of hax they have...
Wraiths exist naturally at the spacetime clock outside dimensions of time and space, as creatures of chaos, threatening the existence of the Celestial Clock which is literally the source of all time in the multiverse of infinite timestreams. There they are capable of fighting Man-Bot for eternity, threatening to presumably take the energy of the clock and Man-Bot's infinite energy that can power the Celestial Clock via their own energy absorption. That's not all, they were also able to overwhelm Time Master after he gained complete dominion over the fifth dimension of infinite possibilities, growing vastly stronger then he was before, shocking him with some kind of cosmic lightning that was possibly them taking his power. In a pre-scripted cutscene Man-Bot when connected to the Celestial Clock IE at multiversal levels of power and Alchemiss after absorbing the power of Time Master attacked Wraiths and required numerous shots to kill them, possibly due to their higher dimensional nature. TLDR they are timeless entites with some kind of multiversal essence/energy drain, that exist in a higher dimension of existence exude painful gas, resist mind attacks, and control density and temperature.
Devastation Wraiths are even stronger! There's strange creatures living at the center of the Earth called Subterrestrials and when Wraitsh of Chaos absorb their essence they explode in a lot of energy and form a Devastation Wraith. This adds passive radiation and active radiation aura, teleportation, and is said to be stronger then both a Wraith of Chaos and a Subterrestrial put together.
1: Just Phazon entities in general (Metroid)
Phazon doesn't have a set power level because it's not really an entity so much as it is a cosmic space plague, though for the most part Phazon entities don't really go above planetary, so you can that as a general ballpark.
Phazon is technically a highly radioactive super-orgasnism known for warping and mutating things it comes across to better suit including animals, plants, rocks, technology, souls, basically anything really. It supercharges them and their abilities, gives them the ability to project radiation to dissolve things, sounds alright so far right?
Oh but it gets so much more troublesome. See Phazon tends to control biological organisms turning them into vastly stronger versions to spread phazon and/or just kill them. Phazon can warp the minds of those associated, even capable of turning Samus who tanked Mother Brain's mind hax into another Dark Samus.
The thing about Phazon is that it's mostly seen in small amounts that make it a dangerous living weapon but it can quickly spread to a planetary system at which point it can start doing things like warp reality, regenerate things that have been completely physically destroyed, create wormholes through space between dimensions and seperate a planet into a light and dark half.
That's not even counting that it can make one entirely immune to physically attacks by warping one to the space between dimensions called the transdimensional flux or the fact that it makes one immune to mental attacks by completely negating psychic abilities.
Phazon can also act as an energy source, in fact one of the strongest in the Metroid universe, can form solid constructs of basically whatever is needed called phazite, and it can convert anything in contact with into phazon eventually including turning planets into copies of the Phazon homeworld Phaaze. And if even that isn't enough Phazon can eventually decay into the even more potent Red Phazon whose radiation is so extreme that even things immune to the radition of normal phazon can instantly be killed by exposure to Red Phazon.
Basically Phazon is just a really versatile tool that a lot of characters including relative fodder characters in Metroid have access too.
