Who is the most powerful character you feel you've ever played?
I think there are two ways of defining powerful. One is mechanically, as in the abilities that you have as a character. So, for example, if you put in a God Mode cheat, the game acts like you are a normal guy, but your actually indestructible. The other is narratively, where the story says you are so and so powerful. An example is Arcaeus, the God Pokemon. Narratively, it's god, but in game it's just an ordinary (if powerful) pokemon and can only learn 4 moves and can be at a type disadvantage and be defeated by a pokemon of higher levels and such.
So....
Mechanically, I think Bayonetta may be the most powerful. It doesn't show as clearly because the enemies around her are also extremely powerful and can lay down the hurt on a player that isn't using Bayo to her utmost...but when they are, Bayonetta is basically unstoppable. She can dodge any attack and not have her combo's interrupted via Dodge Offset which theoretically means no enemy can do anything against her, has a lot of crazy and strong weapons, commands a host of extremely powerful demons, can turn into a variety of animals to gain different abilities, and seems is able to navigate any kind of environment without protection. Bayonetta is one of my favorite games because playing as her, I feel more powerful than I do any other game character (When I'm doing well anyway).
Narratively...uh...nothing comes to mind, actually, strangely enough. Or rather, a few characters do, but I'm not sure which one to choose. Will edit when I think of something.
