Re: Fixing A Sue
I think it's not just that they need massive obstacles, they also need OTHER obstacles. As in, challenges that cannot just be barrelled through on sheer strength. Like people not liking them, or being able to smash mountains but that doesn't help with acquiring food, stuff like that.
I once wrote a superhero AU where one of the characters was an OP shapeshifter. This was mitigated by some limits on his power (if he's wounded, he basically can't shift at all, if he falls asleep in shift he finds it very difficult to return to himself), a massive self-hatred complex brought about by his childhood and serious lack of social skills, and the fact that the plot is not actually about him using his superior powers to smash through everything in his path. It's about the local team of superheroes rescuing him and trying to convince him to stop being a supervillain.
Goals do not have to 100% align with abilities.
