Top 10 Most Overpowered Video Game Characters

From the early days of gaming to the high-tech virtual playgrounds of today, there have been characters that just seem to break the mold. These are characters that make you throw your hands up in despair or triumphantly raise them in victory.

Some might argue that these characters unbalance the game, while others might see them as the epitome of strategy and skill. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. What's undeniable is that these overpowered characters add a layer of complexity, challenge, and excitement to the gaming experience.

The Top Ten

  1. Meta Knight - Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    Meta Knight is a fictional character from the Kirby series of video games created by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. He is often portrayed as one of Kirby's rivals, although he sometimes allies with Kirby to battle common enemies.... read more

    Meta Knight is everything. He's all you ever wanted. He can win a set now even if you never won it. Clashes, he always wins. Trades, they are never going to. You want him forever. Any counterpick, he's better on it.

    Go play Super Smash Bros Brawl and play Meta Knight. Then you will see why Meta Knight is more powerful than anyone or anything.

    Meta Knight is 100% overpowered, and he is banned from some tournaments unless players promise not to spam the Mach Tornado move.

  2. Chuck Norris - MUGEN

    Should be number one by far in terms of pure overpoweredness. He literally causes damage to you by walking. With every single step he takes, no less. The entire screen shakes from the force of him walking.

    One guy even said that Chuck Norris can blow up the moon in one stomp. He can even push the Earth using push-ups. His blood temperature is 98 degrees Celsius. And much, much more.

    You can tell that he's so good at this game because he can take over all of the characters with his power and strength.

  3. Mega Rayquaza - Pokémon

    Mega Rayquaza is a Legendary Pokémon species. It is the Mega Evolution of Rayquaza, introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Unlike other Pokémon, Mega Rayquaza does not require a Mega Stone to evolve, instead transforming by knowing the move Dragon Ascent.

    So overpowered, Smogon literally made a new tier for this guy, which is the highest tier. It got banned from even Uber. Yeah.

    Honestly, now that Naganadel has been introduced, it's pretty fast to move Rayquaza to Ubers.

  4. Brade - Broforce

  5. Fox - Super Smash Bros. Melee

  6. Wizpig - Diddy Kong Racing

  7. Red Knight - Castle Crashers

  8. Kirby - Kirby

    Kirby is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Kirby series of video games, owned by Nintendo and developed by HAL Laboratory. His first appearance was in Kirby's Dream Land, released in 1992 for the Game Boy. The pink, spherical hero is known for his ability to inhale enemies and copy their... read more

    PLEASE make Kirby a higher character. Chara sucks. All she does is press a button, while Kirby can crack a planet in half. He even beat one of the most dangerous and strongest Dragon Ball characters: Majin Buu.

    Kirby has access to all the abilities in the game, including the overpowered ones. This means that Kirby is both the most overpowered character and the most underpowered character at the same time.

    He has infinite power and defeated two beings that destroyed the entire omniverse (Void and Drawcia), also two beings that can do so with just ten words (NOVA and Star Dream). How is he not first?

  9. Oddjob - GoldenEye 007

    Oddjob is a henchman to the villain Auric Goldfinger in the James Bond film and novel Goldfinger. In the film, he was played by Japanese American actor Harold Sakata. Oddjob is known for his deadly steel-rimmed bowler hat, which he uses as a weapon.

  10. Pikachu - Super Smash Bros. 64

    Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) is a species of Pokémon that appears in video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company. It is the mascot of the Pokémon franchise and is widely considered the most iconic Pokémon. Pikachu is well known for... read more

    There's a fine line between being a centralizing force in the metagame (like Pikachu in Smash 64) and being overpowered. Pikachu does not cross that line.

    Go play Super Smash Bros 64 and play as Pikachu. Then tell me why he is OP.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Photoshop Flowey - Undertale

  12. ?

    Purple Knight - Castle Crashers

    13. The Contenders

  13. Arceus - Pokémon

    Arceus is a Legendary Pokémon that first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie, "Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life," where it was featured alongside other Legendary Pokémon. In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is referred to as "The Original One" and is believed to have created the entire Pokémon world... read more

    Arceus is the god and the creator of all Pokémon. Moreover, he can change types, but his Normal type is the best.

    Recovery and Cosmic Power spam is really OP.

    This is why I need one in Omega Ruby.

  14. Ratchet - Ratchet & Clank

    Ratchet is one of the main protagonists of the Ratchet & Clank series. The franchise was created and developed by Insomniac Games and originally released as a PlayStation exclusive. Ratchet is a Lombax mechanic who travels across the galaxy alongside his robotic companion Clank.

    Ratchet has always been a badass little rabbit. He is not a weak yuppie. He has a cool story. He earned his overpoweredness. He should be in Smash Bros and Rayman.

    He is the strongest of them. These other idiots think first, Aww, a little kitty wants to play, but then Ratchet shows his RYNO V and kills these guys.

  15. Akuma - Street Fighter

    Akuma, known as Gouki in Japan, is a character from the Street Fighter video game series and a recurring antagonist. He first appeared as a hidden boss in Super Street Fighter II Turbo and could be unlocked by meeting specific conditions.... read more

  16. Roy - Super Smash Bros. 4

  19. Nightmare Broly SSJ3 - MUGEN

  20. Samus - Metroid

    Samus Aran is the protagonist of the science fiction action-adventure video game series Metroid, developed by Nintendo. She is a galactic bounty hunter who typically wears the Power Suit, a piece of advanced armor that provides her with enhanced abilities and access to a variety of weapons. Samus made... read more

  21. Sheng Hua Nan - Dong Dong Never Die

  22. Milla Maxwell - Tales of Xillia

  23. Tanooki Mario - Super Mario Bros. 3

  24. Bayonetta - Super Smash Bros. 4

    Bayonetta, whose real name is Cereza, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the video game Bayonetta and its sequels. The series was developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega and Nintendo. Bayonetta is known for her stylish combat, magical abilities, and confident personality.

  25. Sans - Undertale

    Sans, or Sans the Skeleton, is a character in the 2015 RPG Undertale, created by Toby Fox. He is a lazy, pun-loving skeleton who serves as a supporting protagonist in the "Pacifist" and "Neutral" routes of the game, and a heroic antagonist and final boss in the "Genocide" route. Sans is known for his... read more

    Sans is so powerful he could destroy the entire multiverse in a snap!

    Not fair, this guy is super OP in both Undertale and Glitchtale.

  26. Kat - PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

  27. Yoshi - Yoshi's Island

    Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur featured in video games published by Nintendo. He often appears as a sidekick and helper to Mario, playing key roles in many of Nintendo's most popular titles. Yoshi is especially well known for his appearances in the Yoshi's Island... read more
