FUCKING BAD ASS accessories/skins/suits/weapons/powers/perks/etc. in games

The Blade of Olympus in God of War 2 was pretty overpowered. It could wreck all enemies once you unlocked it for the whole game.

"Time fades even legend, and the origin of Soul Reaver has been lost long ago. But its purpose remains – to feed on the souls of any creature it strikes. Kindred, this blade and I."

Sweet bot, looks cooler than it actually was but it was always awesome to run around as a mech...

I always liked the Blade of Artemis in GoW1. It jut felt so powerful, especially the L1 attacks.

Funny how adding the dropped frame effect makes the weapon just feel more powerful. Assuming it was an effect.
 
The Raiden skin from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

Loved using that thing! Really, really well made skin/remodel for just a fun little unlockable.
 
This broken bullshit from FFX-2:

-You can get it right at the start of the game by doing Shinra's fiend arena crap and winning two fights
-learns a teleport move that makes the girls do back attack/double damage
-Gets healed by elemental attacks
-Instant kill move (which works on bosses)
-Ability to stop time for 10 seconds to wreck shit or heal
-Eventually gets a move that makes you completely invincible
-no real drawbacks save for lowish damage

No wonder they made people pay extra for this in Japan

Was so badass when you got the Jetpacks and Floyd in the second half of the game.

The fuck Microsoft. Release a damned HD version and reboot this series. Fuckin a.

Seriously.. wasting time with KI when Rare has JFG.

Aaaahhhh Jet Force Gemini! Yes! I loved those pointed visors as a kid
 
Resident Evil 4 overall had the weapon development thing down magnificently well. Just when you're getting used to shooting the same ol' pump action, the game rewards you with a ridiculously satisfying weapong one after another. Man I love that game.
 
Halo- energy sword (come on) walking through high charity like a fucking bad ass back in h2
Dead space 3- the downloadable weapon I got with LE, think it was called evangelizer? Used it the whole game. Kinda OP
Gears- torque bow. Sweet mother of god if you got last kill with it and used the execution (gears 2)
Oblivion/skyrim- my only goal when starting both games was to get daedric armour and look like a bad ass standing on top of mountains and other majestic, screenshot worthy stuff haha.
A lot of others have already been mentioned

Rogue Noise in Mega Man Star Force 3 is amazingly overpowered:
- 1HP barrier that regenerates at the start of every turn
- Normal Sword attacks do an additional 50 damage
- No elemental weakness
- Lock-On immunity
- Normal non-elemental attacks gain a Paralyze effect
- Charge Shot power doubles

I never changed Noise forms again after I got it.

TENGEN TOPPA..

All these Dark souls sets but no Elite knight set? What is this madness?!

EVERY SINGLE ability gained from becoming infected by the Mercer Strain of the Blacklight virus. My god so much power, I felt like a god with those powers in Prototype 2, I must replay it!! Those powers are actually my inspiration for Dracula, instead feeding on human blood like a lowly vampire he consumes humans whole for sustenance.
