Every single comic book tv show/movie massively nerfs it’s more powerful characters. Unless you’re really into comics or similar mediums anything above planet level is pretty crazy for most people.
That was a bit of a highball. They took a statement about Homelander from someone else and gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed that Vaught actually straight up nuked their golden boy because they got bored or something. Highly unlikely but it didn't make a difference anyway.
It helps that they included the animated series. I know at the time most people were not expecting them to include it due to it being considered dubious canon
Then wait when the true hax abilities in Jojo starts to appear. For context we have an inmortal being with the powers of all life forms, infinite acceleration combined with punches that reverse your body, the entire universe is against you, etc.
Darkseid. I was rooting and betting on Thanos when the episode came out, but watching the research had me gulping nervously and pulling on my collar lol
Po for me as well, before he was even revealed for DB. I heard arguments for Multiversal Po and I was like “Nani?” Nice that one of my favorite childhood movies gets the respect it deserves
Wally West.
I mean if he was as fast as he usually is, there would be no stakes
Which cost his life

In fairness YJ nerfs a lot of characters.
Homelander, I thought he was just wall level before but Death Battle showed me that he can tank nukes 😮

And I say that as someone who grew up with KFP movies and was rooting for Po.

Kirby really surprised me on how strong he was. I thought Buu would absolutely murder him
For me: Sorta james bond
There are a lot of characters that I have underestimated severely.
This deserves more upvotes just because of the amount of effort put into it
Me learning about how the Incredible Hulk gets his powers from Turbo Satan.
Also, shaking universes by smashing Umar in the bedroom.
Ngl I think my appreciation for hulk dropped into the negatives when I heard that lmao
Popeye
Popeye having the power to survive Zeno attacks from DBS is absurd.
Scrooge McDuck
I knew Kool Aid Man was tough, but HOLY SHIT!
JoJo, just as a whole, still surprised that dio and Jonathan won
Then wait when the true hax abilities in Jojo starts to appear. For context we have an inmortal being with the powers of all life forms, infinite acceleration combined with punches that reverse your body, the entire universe is against you, etc.
Aquaman, the regular one.
Rainbow Dash
Beerus/Broly
Hercule
Surprisingly Dante
Star butterfly
Everyone underestimated her
I mean she's powerful but I don't necessarily agree with her being universe level cuz she's never shown anything like that
Darkseid. I was rooting and betting on Thanos when the episode came out, but watching the research had me gulping nervously and pulling on my collar lol
Silver
Tanjiro since I didn’t know he was faster than lightning I thought he was faster than sound but not lightning.
Reverse Flash
Kirby the god of destruction
Wukong, like, his feats are Dc/Marvel levels of crazy. Also it’s funny how he’s stronger than Goku, who was inspired by Wukong
Po for me as well, before he was even revealed for DB. I heard arguments for Multiversal Po and I was like “Nani?” Nice that one of my favorite childhood movies gets the respect it deserves
Dude, Popeye might just be the strongest character from any fight ever. I was baffled by how ludicrous his feats of strength are.
Kinda surprised nobody brought up the Jedi or Sith yet
Rainbow Dash
I have a couple but I'll give you a recent example will be Zatanna ( because I always thought Wanda but I didn't realize you had some counters)
Little Mac
?
PopEye, I always knew he was a tough guy and did like him quite abit… but damn😶, I wasn’t ready for how much beef ya man was backing🫥🤣
goku black (Im just bad at scaling db characters lmao)
Trunks vs. Silver reminded me of just how broken Archie Chaos Force is.
Kirby. Holy hell, did I underestimate Kirby
Sanji
Spongebob.
Wally west i underestmeited everything about the comic flash always thought of him as the cringy cw wally west
Twilight Sparkle
Zatanna
The flash
