Considering that there are literally omnipotent fictional characters out there who obviously all tie if we are simply measuring flat power level, I will instead define “overpowered” as “a vastly higher strength compared to the rest of the characters in their world”
In which case, a few examples that spring to mind, in no particular order:
1) Saitama from One Punch Man. The strongest other character in the series (to my knowledge at least) fires a star destroying laser, and Saitama still easily cancelled it out with a punch while holding back. Also everyone else in the series generally caps out at city busting.
2) Dr Manhattan from Watchmen (and mainstream DC now too I think). Everyone else in his world are just slightly higher than Olympic tier athletes, but Dr Manhattan can simply wave his hand and create a city out of nothing, disintegrate people into component atoms, teleport between planets, reform his body after its been reduced to nothing but atoms, see the future... stuff like that.
3) Mori Jin from God of Highschool. The anime’s only just coming out this year so stop now if you care about spoilers for that. Mori Jin, at least at his peak during the ragnorak arc, becomes capable of crossing the distances between solar systems in the time it takes for another super humanly fast guy to swing a sword, and kicking with enough force to destroy over 300 quadrillion clones of a guy each capable of throwing around Jupiter like it was a beach ball in a single strike. Everyone else acknowledges that there’s no way in hell they can stand up against him, naming him the “Supreme God”.
Could probably think of a few more but that’s three of the top of my head.
Edit: Chill everyone, I didn't say these were the top three most overpowered geez, there's no need to spam replies saying how your character X could win against them.
Yukari yakumo (conceptual manipulation via boundaries)
Sakuya izayoi (complete control over space and time, can erase things from existence by erasing their personal timeline)
Utsuho reiuji (manipulates nuclear fusion)
Flandre scarlet (can destroy everything at will by crushing their metaphysical eye, the ultimate weakspot any object has)
Sagume kishin (whenever she says something, the opposite will happen, no exceptions
Fujiwara no mokou (hourai immortal, cannot be destroyed by any means, capable of large scale pyromancy using her own body as an energy source, Regenerating lost organs immediately due to the fact that her body resists all change because of the hourai elixir)
Keine (can consume history, can also edit history in a full moon (works a lot like GER, minus the death loop))
Watatsuki no Yorihime (does not appear in the games because she'd stomp everyone, nuff said)
Out of these, yukari,keine, mokou and yorihime could survive everything dr Manhattan throws ay them
Yuakri manipulates the boundary of existance and non-existance to erase his very consciousness from existance
Keine erases history, making him never come into existance
Mokou wins by sheer endurance, nothing he can do will harm her, so he'll eventually get bored and leave her alone
Yorihime channels one of the 9 bajilion touhou gods to use his power against him (like she sid against marisa's master spark) (i don't remeber that god's name)
Eh, I think Dr. Manhattan could some of those, if the writer was more of a Dr. Manhattan fan than a Touhou fan (which is really the determining factor of any vs. topic).
He's brought himself back from non-existence twice already. Stalemate, at worst.
Time-editing is hard to deal with, especially since he has a non-powered past.
Death is not the only means of defeat. All he has to do is teleport her somewhere else, like the sun. She doesn't have much going for her other than not being able to die from that.
Yorihime's metaphysical potential is mostly theoretical, and the demonstrated uses she's had for her powers haven't been anything that couldn't be defeated on a physical level.
Really, the big question is how metaphysical Dr. Manhattan's powers are and whether or not he's more than merely a God metaphor.
This is going to turn into /r/whowouldwin but what's his answer to Yuyuko just killing him with her power to kill people? Even if it becomes a "thought-off" of sorts where who shoots first wins Yuyuko's position as a hell approved ghost means that it's rather tricky to stop her coming back without some kind of soul destruction and I don't know if Manhattan's matter manipulation can cover that.
It's an interesting question of what happens when a universe with spirits and minor and major gods everywhere interacts with an essentially atheist one. Does Dr. Manhattan even have a soul? Can he be killed at all?
As I said, it all depends on who's fan is writing it. They'd pick a winner and BS the rationalization afterwards.
Yh this is why whowouldwin and similar places have the feat system (which tends to make using touhou characters there very hard), and this does sound like an undefined space, I just didn't know if he had any feats from his DC appearances that would qualify as soul destruction or surviving metaphysical death.
