Summary

- Main characters create havoc and a hierarchy shift.
- Incredible battles spice up storytelling for fans.
Manhwa with overpowered protagonists often use the tropes of going ‘off the chart’ or ‘breaking the power scales,’ and this often alters the hierarchy among superhumans and causes constant conflict and incidents.

His judgment seems to be almost always right, and he has a third eye for detecting heretics, evildoers, and demon worshipers in disguise. But the most incredible thing about this protagonist is that the second he descends upon Earth, the whole Awakener (Superhuman) association in Korea is turned upside down. Up to that moment, they had a very balanced Power System (with S being the max rank), but Leon’s arrival breaks the scale completely, turning them all into ‘inferior beings.’

Villain To Kill
From S-Rank Hero To Disaster Class Villain And Beyond
Close
- Genre: Dystopian, Action, Martial Arts, Urban Fantasy
- Author: Fupin
- Artist: Eunji
In his first life as Cassian Lee, the main character of this action manhwa was qualified as S Rank +, a title not every Psyker (Hero) receives from the association. Thus, he was marked as a threat to the balance of power and framed for the murder of another powerful hero (and his best friend). When the elimination squad was sent to ambush and kill him, he swore revenge even as life abandoned him.
But, when he woke up in the body of a stranger and noticed he was accompanied by a strange spirit called Mobos, he quickly figured out he was now a Villain — and a Disaster Class at that (the highest among regular villains). But, as the story progresses, he undergoes several power-ups, until he finally breaks the power scales and begins to be marked as one of the most dangerous villains, overcoming even the Money King, one of the Four Evil Monarchs.

S-Rank Was Never Enough For Sung Jin-Woo
Close
- Genres: Action, Fantasy, Adventure, Shōnen, and System-based (LitRPG).
- Author: Chugong
- Artist: Jang Sung-Rak (Dubu) Redice Studio.
Sung Jin-woo is perhaps one of the best examples of main characters that break the power balance of their own worlds. A Hunter that went from the lowest of the D Rank to breaking the umbral of the top S Rank, becoming a one-man-army and successor (or reincarnation) of the Shadow Monarch.
His powers are near-limitless, and his mere presence can make some of the less prepared S Rank Hunters shiver in despair. Throughout the whole manhwa (and even in its sequel), Sung Jin-Woo becomes godlike, battling to protect Earth from the most powerful beings in the universe.

His Appearance In Dicathen Completely Altered The Balance Of Power

- Genre: Isekai, Action, Drama, Fantasy, Sword & Sorcery
- Author: TurtleMe
- Artist: Fuyuki23
King Grey was already powerful when he died, betrayed by the people he trusted the most, but when he reincarnated on the continent of Dicathen, in a fantasy world where magic and sorcery are commonplace, he decided to change into a new life perspective. Surrounded by people he could call a family, he was nurtured and given the freedom to experience magic and grow as a powerful magician.

Combining the knowledge from his past life, Arthur Leywyn broke the mold, surpassing every mage in his generation and becoming the only mortal powerful enough to be trained by the Asura, a god-like race similar to angels, who can also take the form of Dragons.

Dragon Devouring Mage
He Broke The Power System The Second He Finished His Studies
Close
- Genre: Adventure, Shonen, Dark Fantasy, Sword And Sorcery, Action, Reincarnation
- Author: Ilhwang
- Artist: Ramwoo
Russel Raymond is one of those individuals who get more and more powerful after every battle scene, and if readers keep in mind that this person reversed time and managed to get his hands on a family heirloom that activated his draconic lineage, that makes sense.
From the moment he entered the academy after going back in time to his younger self, both students and teachers knew he was outright broken. His powers surpassed those of his graduating class, and he was quickly recruited into the Red Tower (one of the most prestigious magical associations in the Empire). His dominion over Fire Magic and Draconic Magic makes him outclass any other Archmage or Battlemage alive.

Infinite Mage
Shirone Has Transcended Humanity And Rejected Divinity
Close
- Genre: Fantasy, Magic, Comedy, Action, Drama, School Life, Sword and Sorcery, Mystery
- Author: Kim Chiwoo
- Artist: REDICE Studio
When Arian Shirone became a late-blooming apprentice at the Academy, everyone mocked him for his humble origins and not knowing the basics of spells. But, as he developed his own characteristic Spirit Zone (mana field) and his calculation ability exceeded that of Eruki, the top student in the academy, it was clear that a new era had begun.
His power was made even more evident during the Academy Invasion Arc, when Arian defended his colleagues from certain death, opposing the attacking Archmage and transcending the barriers of mortality. He appeared to have died, but he was actually in a stasis-like sleep while transitioning to godhood, guided by a former human who had also overcome mortality. But, in the end, Shirone decides to go back to his friends. After all, that’s the most precious thing he has, even more than his infinite power.
