Super Powerful Hero

Super Powerful Hero

Any main character in a book usually has characteristics that set him apart from ordinary characters. This could be origin, unique abilities, some specific skills or magical powers. They may give him some advantages, or simply increase his chances of survival.

One option is to gradually develop together with ordinary people. Yes, the hero will be more dexterous, stronger, smarter than the rest. But his capabilities will not go beyond what an ordinary person can achieve with the same efforts.

But often the author is tempted to do more than simply endow the hero with special abilities. The hero may initially turn out to be such a brilliant warrior or have such magical powers that virtually no one can resist him.

Sometimes the plot includes some unique artifact, weapon or spaceship. And the hero, having it, will be able to move through the plot without encountering resistance.

Yes, the hero will have opponents, and quite strong ones (by the standards of the world). But the hero has even greater opportunities and moves on with virtually no obstacles. Each battle may present some difficulties, require full effort or the use of unusual methods or artifacts. But as a result, all opponents still turn out to be much weaker than the hero.

Starting from a certain point, a situation may arise when the hero’s powers grow so much that ordinary opponents cannot do anything with him. Here the hero can single-handedly begin to confront enemy groups, armies, or even entire states. Here you need to come up with worthy opponents for him or some difficult to achieve goal worthy of his capabilities

Of course, at first the reader may be pleased to associate himself with a hero who simply has no worthy opponents. But if throughout the book, further advancement requires less and less effort, and battles are reduced to the destruction of ordinary opponents, then interest is gradually lost. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balance between the constant strengthening of the hero and the challenges that will confront him

More often than not, a super-powered hero is a hallmark of heroic fantasy. But sometimes the author gets carried away and gradually endows an initially ordinary character with more and more possibilities.

Such books are most often not for those who like complex philosophical concepts or a complicated plot with a lot of mysteries.

But if you are ready for a hero who easily solves all problems simply thanks to his insanely developed abilities or cheating abilities (which no one else has) - you should pay attention to books like this
