I believe that a character should, indeed, "stand out". I like a character who is capable and competent. But to put it in superhero terms, I like Batman characters up to Spider-Man characters. But one guy in my group insists on playing Superman. If he had his way, he'd be Galactus. I am always reining him in and putting dampers on him. He concentrated solely on amassing physical power, so now he is constantly encountering mental challenges and becoming a bit frustrated "Hulk SMASH!" I let him develop the way he wants, so that he can have fun, but I am having him face the consequences. He is now a target for many people. They know that they must face him in groups, or better yet, use his loved ones against him.
To give you an idea of how strong he is:
We were playing Vampire. His character was so strong I sent some MAJOR heavy forces against him. He was attacked by the Technocracy, which I figured should be enough. He was hit by a plasma cannon. His body was sent hurtling through a brick wall, flew across the street into a truck which exploded with the impact. He then got up, brushed himself off, and healed the "Bruised" level of damage that he had taken. Within minutes, he had destroyed his opposition.
