I think this page could use some pruning, since I\'ve seen a number of cases on this page where the villain isn\'t at all invincible; they\'re just very powerful. Even cases where they fight the heroes once and lose that fight, just because they manage an impressive showing in the meantime. I think this trope could use some deeper qualifications before it turns into \"villains that are powerful.\" Something like...
- Is significantly more powerful and more able than the heroes.
- Has multiple impressive victories, and when the protagonists lose to them, it is grievous.
- Defeats and setbacks they suffer, if they exist at all, tend to be insignificant, pyrrhic victories, or something they still manage to turn into an advantage.
- When (if) they are defeated, it requires very special effort (all the protagonists working together, a DeusExMachina or StoryBreakerPower being applied).
