10 Marvel & DC Characters Who Developed An Overpowered Energy Form

Through different storylines in Marvel and Detective comics, we have witnessed some characters attain an all so powerful state that their normal bodies are often unable to sustain the outburst of the powers and are often transformed or metamorphosized into a completely different being to sustain the surge of power. In the Marvel and DC storyline, these characters often attain a level of omnipresence that transcends to the level of godly beings, who can wield this power to their bidding and in turn overwhelm their enemies and allies alike. The surge of this sudden energy may have been caused by external factors or elements or even with an internal need and feeling of being powerless in a situation which might have triggered a new sense of pushing one’s limits and attain a state of omnipresence even it meant losing oneself during the process. Here is a list of Marvel and DC characters who in the storyline developed an overpowered form.
