Gabriel Belmont in the Castlevania LoS games
He starts off (like most games) quite powerless but the more stages you play he feels alot more fast and nimble in terms of movement and he feels heavy and strong in terms of his combat
Not only that, in the game’s lore and story he quite literally sets off on a quest to defeat (kill, mostly) the dark versions of the founders of the Brotherhood of Light as they’ve ascended with their good selves to heaven but their dark selves (mainly all the evil and bad shit) stayed on earth to become dark lords. By the time the second game comes about, Gabriel has defeated every dark lord and practically became an immortal demigod vampire and is essentially said to be unkillable because “god is too afraid of him to let him die”. Not only that, before he can kill himself to finally be laid to rest as he wanted (with his silver combat cross from the first game which is the only thing that could kill him) he literally defeats Satan himself
TLDR; a man so strong, he is feared by god and he defeated satan himself, that could only be killed by himself after centuries of wanting to die

Kratos in God of War was always quite epic
Kassandra/Alexios in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has Isu blood and a magic spear. It isn’t until you >!lose your abilities in Korfu!< that you realize how much you’ve relied on that goddamn spear.
In all honesty, the protagonists from CoD2 are up there, playing in veteran and fucking chasing down a tank as it tries to escape from you, one man while you shout at the top of your lungs, “IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, YOU PUSSY FASCISTS?”, planting a sticky on the tank and then mowing down ten Germans with a ppsh and clearing an entire Stalingrad Railway by yourself is one of the biggest power trips ever.
Vergil and SMT V protagonist for me.
What the fuck is wrong with this subreddit? This post is clearly breaking rule 8, yet it was allowed through? Rule 8 is stupid to begin with, but these mods are so fucking inconsistent it’s stupid.
