relative omnipotence is something I think is fine, especially in cosmic-stories.. it's when they start making things like characters that can erase every universe with a blink of an eye (granted this was not a villain, more an amoral) that I feel the stories start to derail horribly.. especially if it is in a medium where they try and top the absurd power levels further and further..

like a character starts a planet-breaker, then ends up able to smash galaxies, then ends up a universe-killer, then comes back as a multiverse-killer and so on.. it gets hard to really bother after a while when authors do that (this applies to heroes as well as villains, really).
