    Saitama - 'One Punch Man'

    The main character and star superhero of One Punch Man, Saitama, trained for only three years to become the world's strongest man. Well, now he is and can defeat any enemy with just - you guessed it - one single punch. Gigantic, terrifying monsters will litereally explode just from him punching them. He's constantly on the hunt to find someone or something that can prove to be a challenge for him, but with his OP punch, a challenge is hard to find. Good luck dude.

    Momonga - 'Overlord'

    This giant skeleton dude doesn't look super scary for no reason - he's scary looking because he's an overpowered force of destruction that could crush the world underneath his pinky toe bone if he wanted to. Ainz Ooal Gown, formerly known as Momonga from Overlord, is a powerful, guild-leading wizard who can't be harmed by any physical attacks unless the weapons are actually able to crush his bones.

    Sung Jinwoo - 'Solo Leveling'

    Jinwoo starts the series as a low level E-rank Hunter, but a stroke of luck turns him into one of the most powerful individuals in the world. Now with the ability to grow his strengths with no limits, he surpasses all those who previously looked down on him. These newfound abilities include - but aren't limited to - super strength, speed, durability, speed, health regeneration, agelessness, and more.

    Satoru Gojo - 'Jujutsu Kaisen'

    There are a lot of powerful sorcerers and cursed spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen, but Satoru Gojo takes the cake. First off he inherited the gift of Six Eyes, which grants him the ability to see cursed energy and puts him at an advantage in battle. He's also the most skilled cursed technique user alive and bests every opponent he faces. As if that wasn't enough, he also received the power of Limitless - allowing him to control and distort space - and is the first sorcerer to obtain both Six Eyes and Limitless in four hundred years.

    Shiba Tatsuya - 'The Irregular at Magic High School'

    Shiba Tatsuya is a totally overpowered high school student from the anime The Irregular at Magic High School. His God-tier powers represent something like a living weapon of mass destruction. As just a human who wields magic, there's no way he should be as indestructible as he is throughout the entire series.

    Alucard - 'Hellsing'

    Even if vampires never age, something else should be able to destroy them, right? This certainly isn't the case with Alucard from Hellsing. Even decapitations and being stabbed in the heart won't kill Alucard, because he can conveniently recover from his fatal injuries almost instantaneously. This nifty power comes from all the people he fed off of and turned into familiars throughout the ages, which literally numbers in the millions. If that wasn't powerful enough, he can also command these millions of familiars to act as his army.

    Goku - 'Dragon Ball'

    Of course the protagonist of the anime series known for its collection of ridiculously overpowered characters is going to be on this list. Goku, our charming star of the Dragon Ball series, has actually died multiple times only to come back to life with the help of the Dragon Balls. Even if his next overly-powered Sayian form doesn't do the trick, don't worry, he'll just be training and waiting to come back to kick butt when his friends wish him back. Oh, and let's not forget that he can actually defeat Gods now.

    Mash Burnedead - 'Mashle: Magic and Muscles'

    In every other fantasy world, magical powers will outmatch physical fitness any day. In the Mashle universe though, this isn't the case - as shown by the powerful Mash Burnedead. Mash is the only person in this universe that doesn't have any magical abilities, and instead trained in physical strength. This training turned out to be a little too effective though, and he's able to use his fitness in ridiculous ways. Should someone be able to swat away a strong spell like it's a volleyball, just with sheer force? Probably not, but the overpowered Mash does it anyways.

    Izayoi Sakamaki - 'Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?'

    Izayoi Sakamaki is the main protagonist of Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They? and he's known for being an overpowered teenager that can single handedly take down Gods and Demon Kings like it's no big deal. He also gets bored and reckless and does things like threatens to destroy the world if nobody can find him in hide and seek.

    Gilgamesh - 'Fate/Zero'

    Gilgamesh from the Fate/Zero series can pull off as many overpowered attacks as he wants without even flinching. He owns the Noble Phantasms of every Hero Spirit, which are great and powerful treasures, as well as the sword that would become Excalibur. Wielding these strengths not only makes him completely indestructible, but a total jerky pain.
