IMO, it begins and ends with THIS GUY: Orlandu in FF Tactics is INSANELY broken and OP... and I love it. He just wrecks the hell out of everyone once you get him.

I know it's only temporary, but the "flashback" in Final Fantasy 7 where Sephiroth is in your party.
That pretty much wins. I don't think there's anything you fight he can't kill in one hit.
It's made even worse by the fact that you can't control him. You just watch him kill everything.
It makes that part of the game even more boring.

Selphie's Limit Break, which has a spell that can kill (as far as I know) any boss.

Selphie's Limit Break, which has a spell that can kill (as far as I know) any boss. Not every enemy. It doesn't work against undead or one of the bosses. It's also random and really rare, so even though it is an instant win (Same with Cait Sith who has an instant death against anyone) I don't think it's ridiculously overpowered. Orlandu, however, is insane. He pretty much can break anything, drain anything, and just screw up entire armies on his own. Also, his sword grants him haste from the start.

Emily in Suikoden 3. Can physically destroy anything in her way, her physical attack is huge and her combo skill will hit up to 5 times every single time.
Ted and Kika in Suikoden 4 are also both insanely broken. Kika's falcon rune hits heavily and doesn't really have any drawbacks while Ted's Soul Eater rune just breaks the game wide open.

And if you die, he resurrects you as if to say, "Get up, stupid". It's both funny and embarrassing.

Laguz Kings and Giffca in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Indeed. Though the raven king is pretty fair, until you've rid the enemies of archers. Haar is also pretty broken if you can keep him away from lightning. Mazinkaiser in most Super Robot games, in a very fun way. Particularly after he gets the Scrander, and the ability to fly and use his blade moves.

Haar is also pretty broken if you can keep him away from lightning. I attest to that in my second playthrough of the game now Also, if you sacrifice some exp to her, Titania can be a double hitting killing machine that can get anything not big boss related pretty easily. Or the numbers just favored me that time

The 3 Dragoons in Ogre Battle. Put them with a Princess and Lich and the game is pretty much over.

Laike and Ghaleon in Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete.
Laike is level 99, 500 HP (insanely high in the game), 3 attacks per round. The only things he doesn't kill instantly are the things that are immune to magic, which to be fair are the bulk of enemies the second brief period of time he joins you. Still, nigh invincible.
Ghaleon is level 99, 440 HP, 500 MP, and four ridiculously overpowered magic spells. You cannot die with him. Of course, he joins you only when you're backtracking through dungeons you visited in the beginning of the game and leaves quickly afterward.

Beatrix from FF9 I love that bit of the game where she briefly joins your team, it's a great, easy way to level up Steiner

Ted and Kika in Suikoden 4 are also both insanely broken. Kika's falcon rune hits heavily and doesn't really have any drawbacks while Ted's Soul Eater rune just breaks the game wide open. Richard in Suikoden V is way more broken than Kika is in IV. Not only does he have a no-drawback heavy damage rune, he's really strong and evades/parries basically every attack aimed at him, whereas Kika's sort of slight on the strength side and has relatively low HP to boot. Actually, there are quite a few totally broken characters in Suikoden V. Pent from Fire Emblem 7 is amazingly strong. On the stage where you first meet him, you unlock an additional stage afterwards if you gain a certain amount of experience. This actually mandates that you bring in a flying unit, send them out to rescue Pent, and bring him back to your forces, because he can and will kill everything on the stage singlehandedly and effortlessly. He stays very powerful for the rest of the game, as well, which is a bit of a rarity among Fire Emblem pre-promoted units. A lot of the higher-end recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest V are obscenely overpowered, too.

Citan Uzuki from Xenogears.
He already starts out the game noticeably faster and stronger than most of your other party.
He eventually gets a spell that makes him even faster.
Then he starts using his sword, which makes him *even stronger*.
Towards the end of the game, he could kill monsters you'd normally need to get in your Gears to fight.
Also? Unlike alot of the other characters listed here, he's not a temporary guest teammat. He's a full-time member.

Actually, there are quite a few totally broken characters in Suikoden V. Such as Zerase. I swear, her and the Star Rune just break the game wide open. I forgot about Richard since my preferred fighters in 5 are Hazuki and Belcoot (Belcoot is also broken if you bump up his ability to parry/ counter and then put him in the front row. And bump up his armour to a decent level and boost his accuracy) so I don't really use him.

Peach in SuperMarioRPG.
The game difficulty is Ultra Easy with her in the party.
For most of FFX, Auron runs around oneshotting everything.

And bump up his armour to a decent level and boost his accuracy) so I don't really use him. My preferred frontline is usually Richard and Hazuki, occasionally throwing in Shigure, Miakis, Belcoot, or a few others. I used to use Belcoot a lot, but I liked Hazuki better once I really started to use her. I found that even if you up his skills he tends to not parry/evade or use multiple hits per attack as much as Richard or Hazuki, and trying to tank isn't that efficient late game anyway. And yes, Dapper One, Miakis is 31 flavors of amazing. What really makes her great is that you can stick her in pretty much any role and she'll excel at it. She's so incredibly versatile. I used her as my main frontline attacker in one playthrough, though, and she was awesome. Now! Back on topic. The heads of the respective guilds in Radiata Stories are also serious forces to be reckoned with, and the head of the warrior guild, Elwen, is able to kill you seemingly just by looking at you, which makes defeating her to recruit her in the game a somewhat trying and special process. Lenneth Valkyrie from Valkyrie Profile also makes a special postgame appearance as a playable character, and she's capable of kicking even Elwen's ass.

Archers in Tactics Ogre. Deals the highest damage against most enemies, using bows they can attack outside the range of their weapons, unlike crossbows, and two or three of them can kill anything quickly.

Great minds, Cthulhu; I was actually going to mention Aloser in my original post, but I didn't know if the PSP version significantly nerfed archers or not. They really are laughably overpowered in the original, though.
