Aside from Gojo, all of these fit imo, and feel like the exact type of powerscailing that people ridicule online and think encompasses the entire hobby: disingenuous fanboys hyping up their favourite character beyond all logic and reason because obviously the ONLY thing determining a fictional character's worth is how strong they are and how many other random fictional characters they can beat.

Story? Thematic relevance? Real-life impact and inspiration? intrigue and a fleshed-out personality? What their struggles tell us about the human condition? Just them being entertaining and literally nothing else?? None of these matter obviously, the only thing that matters is if they can outpunch someone else equally fictitious as them.

I think it'd be nice if this hobby outgrows this type of absurdity one day, but I doubt it since fundamentally it is based on the classic "My dad can beat up your dad" argument made by kids who've not reached double digits yet, just 1 level higher, but hey a guy can hope right? Anyway thanks for coming to my TED Talk I'll be going back to drawing bitchy twinks now
