LIVE POLL: Face-Off: Melancholic Omnipotence

Which of the following supernaturally, overpowered yet oddly humbled and well-meaning (for the most part) human beings scares you the most?
[Please note, that I am not a fan of this question and am planning on changing it or worshipping it out to others (if they have a better, nicer [take that literally] one to ask)].

LIST: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls094447054/
POLL: https://www.imdb.com/poll/S9blqiO8_d4/

ALSO. I AM WILLING TO TAKE NOMINATIONS AND PUSH THIS BEYOND ANIME BUT WILL VETO ANY EVIL, SELFISH, ANTIHEROS, AND ANYONE WHO HAS A LICK OF AMBITION. CHARACTERS HAVE TO BE NEARLY OMNIPOTENT BUT HUMBLE, LAZY, AND LISTLESS. THOUGH IF YOUR SUGGESTION PARALLELS Haruhi Suzumiya (WHO CAN ARGUABLY BE CONSIDERED SELFISH AND A BULLY, I MAY ACCEPT IT INTO THE LIST). NO DC OR MARVEL SUPERHEROS. NO EXCEPTIONS.

I don't know many animes, and maybe someone else who knows about it better may correct Me, but I understand in Saint Seiya Shaka is the most powerful character, and he is described as the man whose power is closer to God, and as a reincarnation of Budha. In all the episodes I saw he was never defeated, and if I rememeber correctly he defeated death itself.

There are tons of overpowered characters in anime. This Shaka might be one. He doesn't sound very ...humble or melancholic based on the poorly written synopsis you linked to.
"In sadistic fashion, Shaka tortures Phoenix with his incredible gold saint powers, but even after ridding Phoenix of his senses and leaving him physically destroyed, Shaka cannot seem to finish off the strong-willed bronze saint. Shun comes-to and tries to help his ailing brother, but through communicative thoughts, Phoenix tells him to back off; 'this is his fight.' Shaka continues his attack on a defenseless Phoenix, but now he seems unable to do any damage to him, like he's protected by an unknown force field. Shaka has never seen anything like this before. Who is protecting Phoenix? And why? It turns out that Phoenix's is protecting himself with his awesome brainpower. Angered and frustrated, Shaka tries to destroy Phoenix's brain as well, but he is too late. Phoenix has been down so low that he cannot go any deeper. He has searched his soul and found his inner seventh-sense power. Due to his inner goodness and pure heart, Phoenix becomes more powerful than Shaka could ever dream of becoming and he begins to overpower Shaka. But Phoenix knows that the only way he can truly destroy Shaka is by sacrificing his own life to take Shaka's. So he does just that. Phoenix grabs hold of a stunned Shaka and burns up all of his powerful energy in an intense heat. By building up a massive burst of energy Phoenix explodes and takes Shaka with him, into a million bits. Shun and the others shed a tear for their fallen friend, but they know he died for them and they must now rush off to save Saari, as they only have six hours left."

In the process of rethinking about rewriting the actual verb part of the question. Not completely vetoing your suggestion now. Just some food for thought.

Indeed, I don't think any character in that series can be considered humble, so maybe that was not the best option. But he is a much better person than what the text suggest, in the end he is actually one of the good guys

The comma after "supernaturally" confuses me: is it a typo?

I don't know anime very well at all but I like this idea and, just from what I know from this poll, Haruhi seems interesting. Just from the very limited info I know, she scares me the least but looks can be deceiving so I wonder if maybe she could be the most reckless and therefore dangerous?

Removed the comma. Either way, Grammarly didn't notify me it was needed or not. I also tweaked the question and added a very boring return link to the discussion thread. 

And if it wasn't for the diligent members of the club she founded? Haruhi could have wreaked so much unintentional havoc.

Coming off of an unexpected emotional roller after watching the last episode of Cowboy Bebop tonight, I didn't expect to see this good news.

Thanks Ruby.
