One question if my character's powers come from a god but he is still half human. He is immortal in a sense of when he is killed his is reincarnated in the buddhist realm of purgatory. You can still deal damage to me no matter but I am still powerful. Is this good ?

I wouldnt worry about the perception of being "overpowered." Make your character as strong or as weak as you want. Its all about how you play those powers and sell. I've seen characters who should be able to wipe the Vine out with a single post get beat by street levelers simply because they sold hard. You're only overpowered if you never lose, always know whats coming, never get hurt, dismiss everyone cause you're the unbeatable man, etc. Powers dont make you overpowered. Never selling does.

@mgrman5: Indestructible? Impenetrable? Constant? Something like this that emphasizes you are invulnerable and/or fixed to this universe/time.

@mr__mercury: Really its not to lame or overbearing. What do you think a super hero name should convey or signify.

@mgrman5: It should be something that symbolises them or says who they are, and that can be an internal or an exterior image, whether, what they want people to see or how they want to come across. Some don't have a super hero name, but their own normal name because that is who they want people to see or remember.

How about Paragon?

@lady_rosalina: Maybe because I've never seen it as a superhero name (Only just found out now that other characters have used the name) it seemed new to me. I didn't realise how common it was. Perhaps, maybe not the best then. Only an idea among others.

Not a fan of the term OP. As long as you sell it shouldn't be a problem. I mean there are plenty of really powerful characters that are interesting anyways. It's all about how you use it.

@mgrman5:Pretty sure your ultimate invulnerability puts you at least at powerhouse level.

@mastermouse: My durability definitely puts me up their in the big leagues maybe even at skyfather level. But I am not as strong as a powerhouse at least not physically. My super strength and speed is pint size compared to most powerhouses and skyfathers. Although my psionic abilities are pretty strong probably putting me up their with the Omegas. So all in all with my psionic abilities and invulnerability being the only two powers able to hurt someone past level 3, I am below the power level of Zeus and Odin, but above the power level of Hulk, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter.

You can't be too powerful if you play it right, I mean I made my character (Constantine) more than a God but that is simply for story purposes - when I fight (used to anyway) I would always play along and get struck when it made the story flow better and the fight intensify, when in actuality the power-set I have written for myself could end a galaxy in the blink of an eye. I also mix it up a bit by having my powers stripped or stunted every now and again. Just have fun with it.
