Overpowered Characters

It is worth noting that “overpowered” cannot really be defined on an absolute scale.  Rather, it is more useful to discuss characters being overpowered on a relative scale.  If you make your hero a goddess, and all of her enemies are mere mortals, you don’t have much of a story, but if all of her enemies are also gods and goddesses, then that character is no longer overpowered.  This raises the interesting intellectual exercise of trying to write an interesting story about the relationship between two omnipotent and omniscient beings, but I don’t think tiny human brains are adequate for such a task.
