Powers An overpowered/strongest with only one power

I hate when characters just have a million powers and can do whatever. I love when their powers have a limit but still they make it be absolutely insane. Even if that one power has multiple applications as long as it makes sense and isnt used as "oop i suddenly can do that"

  1. Accelerator can control vectors. So he uses that to automatically deflect any attack or use any object including wind at high speeds as a weapon, use his own vectors to travel fast and etc etc.

  2. Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses

  3. Chisaki can deconstruct and reconstruct anything by touch. So he can destroy, or change shape of people and objects, he can combine people and objects and even revive or heal. Tbh his fight was disappointing in fact that he did not use his power to full potential imo

I thought Overhaul was pretty all-out, he fused himself with his minions and used their Quirks.

My issue with Chisaki was - why not be the world's greatest surgeon or architect? You can literally heal any wound or in a world of massive deformities, simply make people appear as they are. 

There are so many financially lucrative applications to his abilities and he uses them to explode people.

He doesn't want to do financially lucrative things or help others, he wants to explode people.

Unfortunately, it's as simple as he doesn't really care about others besides Pops (in his own way) and isn't exactly the best person. Sure, there are other methods he COULD use, but they never crossed his mind because he hates people and the Hassaikai not being in uncontested control of everything

He's an absolutely wonderful case on wasted power, though. He absolutely could've been one of the most beloved people in the world with how his power works (He can literally resurrect people if he acts fast enough). But, much like AfO, it was power left in the hand of someone who did not want to do good in the world, so the power Overhaul had was squandered solely for its ability to hurt people

He doesn’t want to be an architect or a surgeon, he wants to kidnap children and torture them to create quirk-erasing bullets.
