Winners of the Superpower Lottery in Comic Books.
The following have their own pages:
- In All Fall Down, as Siphon, Sophie Mitchell has this in spades— but at a terrible cost.
- The Authority:
- 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.
- 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.
- The Homelander, a Superman Substitute in Garth Ennis' The Boys, is a nigh-invincible Flying Brick who can easily slaughter his way through ordinary humans, and pretty much any other superhumans too. 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 how everyone else treats him that he's no lightweight).
- Jackie Estacado in The Darkness. 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 BFGs, Combat Tentacles, and the infamous 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 Contractual Immortality: the Darkness refuses to let him stay dead until he has 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.
- The Plutonian, star of Mark Waid's 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. Then it's revealed that Tony is really a godlike Reality Warper and all of his powers stem from him subconsciously altering the laws of physics around him.
- Milestone Comics' 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.
- Done literally in the Power & Glory holiday special, where the organization responsible for giving A-Pex his powers raffles off an opportunity for a regular person to become a similar superhero for a week.
- In Über, the "battleship"-class superhumans are virtually indestructible, strong enough to casually fling tanks around and can wipe out whole armies with their incinerating Eye Beams. The more common "tank"-class supers can barely slow them down.
- In the pre-reboot universe of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), 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 Reality Warper. Enerjak, which Knuckles was once, was also a Reality Warper with the same level of power.
- Spawn of Image Comics fame has a ludicrous array of powers. He's strong enough to chuck skyscrapers and throw giant demons around, fire Hand Blasts of necro-energy, summon as many guns as he wants, cure illnesses, control the flow of time, read minds, creating portals to-and-from wherever he wants, and restore damage from almost any injury. That's not even the full list! If it wasn't for the fact that his powers are Cast from Lifespan, he'd probably be outright invincible.
- Played with in Strikeforce: Morituri, 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."
- The Praetorian in Supercrooks is a supervillain with over 200 powers at once, effectively making him a human Swiss army knife.
