Who is Rocket Llama? "The world's oldest webcomic - since 1916." Tongue-in-cheek tales of a high-flying llama, a sword-swinging cat, and a rocket as loyal as a cowboy hero's horse. With time traveling cavedogs, a persnickety penguin, and surprise parodies of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and more.

10 of the most overpowered video game characters of all time!


Here’s a list of the ten characters that are astoundingly awesome, superbly super, incredibly incredible. The ten most overpowered video game characters of all time. Rounding out our list the tenth combatant comes out swinging-


10. Ness- Earthbound. Many people know Ness only as that kid with a bat in Smash Bros. Well let me tell you, he came from a li'l game called Earthbound first. This kid is the end all be all for RPG protagonists who are so powerful they make the rest of your party look like total douchebags. By the end of the game, Ness could potentially be pumping out 1000 points a round with his physical attacks alone, not to mention that he got so many hit points that your other characters secretly plotted against him out of envy.


9. Ryu- Marvel vs. Capcom 1. “But Alex, I’ve played Marvel Vs. Capcom. Ryu wasn’t overpowered at all! I’m calling your entire article into question now based on this one fact! You and everything you stand for are completely wrong!” Well rest easy, dear reader, as I will tell you why Ryu was an overpowered character. MvC’s Super Move system has become fairly standard for flashy fight games. Attacks fill up a super meter, use stocked up levels of the meter to do flashy super attacks, blah, blah, blah. Each MvC character had at least a few super attacks, generally 2-3. Ryu was a fly in the ointment to this, a spanner in the works; the X-factor. Ryu had three basic super moves, but he had two extra that weren’t so obvious. Mimic Ken and Evil Ryu transformation. Those supers gave him the complete moveset and fighting style of Ken and Akuma, respectively. Thusly, Ryu was three characters in one, with dozens of special attacks and a whopping twelve super moves at his disposal. My God, his power truly is incredible.


8. Teepo- Breath of Fire III. The Breath of Fire series was Capcom’s foray into the Final Fantasy style RPG world. The series has a pretty loyal fan base, and even spawned one of my personal favorite games, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, a tactical RPG. But I digress. The Breath of Fire games have always put you in the shoes of a dragonborne hero by the name of Ryu, and BoF III was no exception. I won’t bore you or myself with the details of the story outside of the fact that the two other starting characters, Rei and Teepo, are the two coolest mofos in the game. Rei was lightning fast, and hit like a train. Teepo was, for lack of a better word, a completely superior version of you. Every stat was better, he had a better moveset. Hell, he even had a cooler character model. Alas, this ill-fated union was not to last, as shortly into the game Teepo and Rei are whisked away, and only Rei was destined to return to your control. How sad, think of the possibilities.


7. Vergil- Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening (Special Edition). Vergil is one of the main baddies of DMC 3, so when they gave the chance to play as this badass in the special edition, I squealed like a little girly girl. Vergil is a much stronger, faster character than Dante, with a more limited equipment selection but much more bang for your buck. His swords and gauntlets tote a lot more tree-splitting, earth-shattering, pants-crapping power than ol’ Dante’s stuff, and he has a ridiculously overpowered set of ranged attacks consisting of swords you can chuck at enemies while doing absolutely any other move you’ve got.


6/5. Darth Revan/ Jedi Outcast, Knights of the Old Republic/ Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. I’m lumping these two cats together because they are very similar in their overpoweredness. Both of them get stupid powerful lightsaber attacks, way more feats, powers, HP, force points than everyone else, and feats and powers exclusive to them alone.

What’s this? Where’s the rest of the list? Well, dear reader, I have broken this list into two articles because there’s just too much goodness to these characters to try to condense it into one article.
 

 

The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama[1] is a webcomic starring "a high-flying llama, a sword-swinging cat, and a rocket as loyal as a cowboy hero's horse."[2] Created by Alex Langley while he was a student at Henderson State University, the comic first appeared in a comic book titled The Workday Comic. For the Workday comics anthology, a spin-off of Scott McCloud's 24-Hour Comics, comics creators each wrote and drew their own eight-page stories in eight hours in April, 2007, on Friday the 13th[3], which turned into an ongoing publication.[4]  Co-presenting with comics author and scholar Danny Fingeroth (Dazzler, Spider-Man, Superman on the Couch), the creators described the webcomic's evolution as members of a Comics Arts Conference panel at 2008's Comic-Con International in San Diego, California.[5][6][7]  Contents [hide] 1 Debut  2 Webcomic  3 References  4 External links      [edit] Debut The full title of Rocket Llama's debut story in The Workday Comic #1 (spring, 2007) was "The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama #112: 'Trouble in Paradise'".[8] The story introduced the taciturn hero Rocket Llama and his talkative sidekick, an anthropomorphic cat named Bartholomew Meowsenhausen, who find themselves stranded on an island after a battle with an enemy called Jetpack Dog. Spherical islanders capture them and then challenge them to combat. A villain named Böwser vön Überdog arrives with Jetpack Dog and, in a sudden Star Wars parody, summons a giant robot known as the Super Robot Dog Walker which blasts a volcano to bits. Before it can fire a second blast, Rocket Llama destroys it by getting it to swallow a pot of water and backfire. The story ends with Böwser tied up and the heroes using the giant robot dog head as a boat to get themselves home, with the promise of the next story to be titled, "Yuck! Yukon!"[9][10]  Whether despite the original story's childlike art or because of it, the Rocket Llama story proved to be the most popular in the 2007 anthology collection of the eight-hour comics.[11] After comic artist Stephen R. Bissette, an instructor at the Center for Cartoon Studies and comic book artist best known for his work on Swamp Thing with Alan Moore, read all of the stories in the first volume of The Workday Comic, he remarked, "That llama's gonna stick with me."[12]   [edit] Webcomic Nick Langley redrew the story with a less childlike drawing style in webcomic form for online publication[13] as the flagship title for the website rocketllama.com which grew into an affiliation of websites featuring webcomics, art, entertainment reviews, and scholarly studies of comics.[14] The online story featured a new cover[15] and omitted a one-page gag, a preview for an unrelated Stealth Potato comic, which had appeared as an intermission in the middle of the original story.[16] The original story also appeared online as the comic's "ashcan copy."[17]  The authors present the Rocket Llama stories metafictionally as the world's oldest comic book, established in 1916, which they allegedly rediscovered and are adapting into webcomics. "Deep underground, in an archaic vault we searched until we found the fabled tales. As both the current production team behind The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama and appreciators of such groundbreaking literature, we have taken it upon ourselves to restore these classic issues to a glory more befitting a modern, digital age."[18]  Although every "issue" is presented with panels and screens in the correct order for each story, the issues are presented out of order as if readers were discovering old issues of a classic comic book in a seemingly haphazard order, however they come to find them. After the redrawn number 112's online publication came the serialized time travel story #136-137, "Time Flies When You're on the Run," appearing one page at a time throughout each week.[19][20] Special Rocket Llama Says bonus features appear only in "ashcan" form drawn by the original creator.[21]   [edit] References ^ Rocket Llama World Headquarters  ^ You are here.  ^ Waddles, Joshua.
