13	----
14	* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', as Siphon, Sophie Mitchell has this in spades-- but at a terrible cost.
15	* ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'':
16	** Jenny Quantum and the Doctor as their powers seem to be defined as "anything they can think of". They've occasionally been shown defeating the other members of the team at their own specialties. Suspense usually comes along because the Doctor's powers rely heavily on 'thinking'. Scare the bejeebers out of him (or attack when he's snookered on heroin) and you can slide past his defenses.
17	** The Military Industrial Complex put a psychotic pedophile hillbilly through a 6 billion dollar cybernetics program to give him over 1,000 super powers to kill the Authority. These included X-Ray strength and Psychic Defacation.
18	* The Homelander, a SupermanSubstitute in Creator/GarthEnnis' ''ComicBook/TheBoys'', is a nigh-invincible FlyingBrick who can easily slaughter his way through ordinary humans, and pretty much any other superhumans too. [[spoiler:Until his even stronger clone, Black Noir, turns against him.]] Other characters of roughly the same insanely high power level include Stormfront (a Captain Marvel/Storm/Thor expy), Queen Maeve (Wonder Woman expy) and Black Noir (though he's not shown actually ''using'' any superpowers until near the end of the series, it's clear from [[InformedAbility how everyone else treats him that he's no lightweight]]).
19	* Jackie Estacado in ''ComicBook/TheDarkness''. The full extent of his power has yet to be explored, but the ones we've seen are impressive indeed. He has enhanced strength, agility, speed, stamina, and what-have-you. Second, he can make just about anything out of darkness. Things like {{BFG}}s, CombatTentacles, and the infamous [[SnarkyNonhumanSidekick Darklings]]. The only limitation on this power seems to be that these creations crumble in direct sunlight. Finally, he has an in-universe form of ContractualImmortality: the Darkness refuses to let him stay dead until he has [[SuperpowerfulGenetics produced a male heir]]. After being blown to atoms by a bomb he merely had to wait in {{Hell}} while the Darkness built him a new body. An example of Jackie's "enhanced strength" would be that he made Superman's lip bleed by punching him.
20	* The Plutonian, star of Creator/MarkWaid's ''ComicBook/{{Irredeemable}}'', used to be Earth's most prominent superhero. When he goes rogue, he makes it very clear who won the lottery - it's all his former allies can do to stop him from slaughtering them all in moments. Hell, they can't even protect ''themselves'' from his wrath; he lets them get away several times for his own sadistic pleasure. When Charybdis/Survivor got a power boost, it seemed like he and Tony were on equal terms, except Survivor had the edge in actual combat technique. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed that Tony is really a godlike RealityWarper and all of his powers stem from him subconsciously altering the laws of physics around him.]]
21	* Creator/MilestoneComics' Dakota-verse had the Big Bang, which ''literally'' was a superpower lottery in which everyone present got a random superpower from it. Unfortunately, it took place in the middle of a ''gang war''.
22	* Done literally in the ''ComicBook/PowerAndGlory'' holiday special, where the organization responsible for giving [[FlyingBrick A-Pex]] his powers raffles off an opportunity for a regular person to become a similar superhero for a week.
23	* In ''ComicBook/{{Uber}}'', the "battleship"-class superhumans are virtually indestructible, strong enough to casually fling tanks around and can wipe out whole armies with their incinerating EyeBeams. The more common "tank"-class supers can barely slow them down.
24	* In the pre-reboot universe of ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'', Knuckles the Echidna was this. Genetic alteration by his father granted him amazing Chaos Energy-based powers that, when accidentally unlocked to the fullest, made him a RealityWarper. Enerjak, which Knuckles was once, was also a RealityWarper with the same level of power.
25	* ComicBook/{{Spawn}} of Creator/ImageComics fame has a ludicrous array of powers. He's [[SuperStrength strong enough to chuck skyscrapers and throw giant demons around]], fire HandBlasts of necro-energy, summon [[MoreDakka as many guns as he wants]], [[HealingHands cure illnesses]], [[TimeMaster control the flow of time]], [[{{Telepathy}} read minds]], [[ThinkingUpPortals creating portals to-and-from wherever he wants]], and [[HealingFactor restore damage from almost any injury]]. ''That's not even the full list!'' If it wasn't for the fact that his powers are CastFromLifespan, he'd probably be outright invincible.
26	* Played with in ''ComicBook/StrikeforceMorituri'', as the Morituri process grants random superpowers to its subjects. While no one ever received a story-breaking power, some powers were definitely more useful than others. Characters with truly useless powers would not survive the deathtraps in "the Garden."
27	* The Praetorian in ''ComicBook/{{Supercrooks}}'' is a supervillain with over [[ComboPlatterPowers 200 powers at once]], effectively making him a human Swiss army knife.
