15 Most Insanely Overpowered Superheroes In The Marvel Universe
They're immortal, God-like and they've gone too far.
They may not have been around for a long time - in comparative terms at least - but superheroes have reshaped the cultural landscape, cutting a swath through the last century, inspiring normal folk with acts of great power, great morality and great integrity. And for a while, they weren't all that extraordinary. Or at least they were recognisably anchored in humanity.
They were the best of what we all wanted to be: standing up to bullies, punching Hitler in the face, breaking out of awkward origins to blossom into great oaks... Their adventures were simple pleasures and they won victories through relatively simple powers.
But then the power-lust started and fans started calling for more and more outlandishly powerful characters. It was no longer good enough for supermen to lift cars, they had to rival the sun for power. The Hulk couldn't just be the strongest man, he had to be the strongest universal being...
And in a race to the moon, Marvel injected their heroes with some seriously strong controlled substances, turning mortals into Gods and basically writing a world where a hero was no longer impressive unless he could literally kick the sh*t out of a planet. Where will it end?
These are the 15 most ridiculously over-powered heroes in the Marvel universe...
15. Deadpool
In the grand history of comic book makers ripping each off, no character has done so much as a second generation clone as Deadpool. Initially imagined as Marvel's barbed take on DC's Deathstroke, the Merch with a Mouth is a law unto himself, breaking the fourth wall and generally being as R-Rated as possible. Unfortunately, it all seems to have worked a little too well.
As interest in Deadpool peaked, Marvel decided his cool factor needed an injection of steroids, and that translated into making him essentially immortal. His healing factor is unprecedented: he is immune to most things, he doesn't age, and he can regrow entire limbs, including his head. Even the undead can't survive the removal of their heads.
Were it just a mater of his head being returned and grafted back to his body, it wouldn't be that much of an issue, but at one point he regrew an entirely new head and brain. Oh, and he's got a magical sack just to really piss anyone seeking a little realism off even more and to ensure any possible chance of defeating him evaporates entirely.
