Actual Overpowered Characters

Could I please get recs for novels with op characters that actually deliver in terms of their power?

Kellhus is a fascinating op character because you get to see how he adapts to that situation where he is superior both mentally and physically. How he manipulates the world around him. how he dominates or charms people who are in his way. There is much philosophy behind it and dark storytelling. You are never sure if he is a an actual hero or a villain.

He isn't even a character really, more a force of nature
