Dood, no offense or owt, but couldn't you have just posted the parts of that log that mattered? As it is right now, it's an eye-crushing wall of text, making it damn near impossible to see what the hell you're on about. :/

I can't discuss the actual case at hand, because I'm not going through that tangled mess of rubbish to find out what's actually going on.

So, my question is, why do people frown 'godly' characters? In RP you are who you are, he's a god, he's a human. In RP OOC powers/ATs don't affect IC power, as far as I'm concerned.
[/ QUOTE ]
Lots of things I can generically cover in that though.
When you were six and you used to run around the schoolyard playing at being cops and robbers, or Batman and Robin, or whatever, there usually comes this point where you get into an argument about whether someone got shot or not.
There's always one kid who won't die. He has some miraculous way of getting out of death, no matter what you do to him, and his awesome weaponry is always better than yours. Generally, taunted by this kid, an arms-race develops and the game spirals out of control.
God characters in Roleplay don't have to be like that, but they often are, and 'god' characters don't have to be gods, but are like that. They always have to be the best. An RPG book I had described this kind of player as "The Pro From Dover" they won't be happy unless they are the best in their field, and if their field happens to be something like 'magic,' or 'science,' or 'being the God Ares' then that pretty much means they are the best at everything.
The problem with that is that they end up being unplayable. There is no plot they can't solve in a heartbeat. There is no villain they can't defeat. They can wipe the floor with anyone. They are, in other words, boring to play and boring to be around (unless you have the mentality of a six-year-old).
And despite this, the player will insist on playing the character. The brighter ones, realising their character is a pain to be anywhere near, make arrangements to have them elsewhere most of the time when action happens.
So, that's why Roleplayers don't like 'god' characters, because they are boring to be around, break plots, and are most often played by people who haven't actually grasped what RP is.

First off, that was ages ago, must've been 2 years ago. People change. I suggest you let go of any grudge you have against me.
I am sorry for the big bit of text, I have so many channels with people chatting it's hard to read, I know. Once I have more time I'll try to squeeze it down.

Yes, but that still doesn't explain why he left. Me and guy 1 didn't need to fight him, in fact we wouldn't, so why he's getting in a huff about it I don't know.
Let's take it into terms of actual superheroes/supervillians; Superman can kill Batman, so that terms of power should be the same in a MMO, shouldn't it? Otherwise it's not really superheroes and supervillians, is it?
Trust me, I didn't want to fight the guy IC Arena, so I didn't - oh, and, we got kicked too...even though the leader knew it was all IC.
I like to let grudges simmer, it enhances the flavour. Burn me once with such things and I'm always wary. Still, just in case I have slighted you somehow, here, five minutes of work.

Superman doesn't backhand Batman around during conversation, and if we go by DCAU is on at least good manners terms with Batman, and doesn't spend all the time talking about how strong or powerful he is and what he can do or has done.

Like I said, and both of the other two respondants, that great big wall of text is unreadable. I'm not going to pick through it to find the bits you want comments on. If you can't be bothered to spend a few minutes filtering something, then don't expect detailed answers.

[/ QUOTE ]
Except that Superman has, repeatedly for various contrived reasons, tried to kill Batman, and has failed. Your initial assertion is a load of rubbish.
Now, let's examine it in game terms, shall we?
My level 50 Natural Scrapper has at least some chance against any other level 50 character. (Of course, that assumes even PvP, which we don't have, but we'll go with the flow.) Now, let's imagine that I were, for some reason, to have to face-off my character 'Nitoichi' against (picking someone at random) White Warlock, who is a level 50 Controller (Illusion/something, sorry WW, can't remember).
If it's a fair fight, Warlock would plaster Ni over the scenery, paint over her and walk away without a scratch. Thankfully for Ni:
1. She doesn't fight fair and if she really had to fight WW, it would be from two miles away, with a high-powered rifle.
2. She would never have to fight WW anyway.
Now, that works because Warlock's player has a brain, and realises a totally invulnerable character capable of taking on armies without batting an eyelid sucks dark matter through a nanotube.
Or, to go back to your analogy, if Batman had to fight Superman, in reality he'd frag him with a Kryptonite grenade while the creep slept, or something similar.
My greatest and best current god character is Jason Caine, an immortal. He won't stay dead, no matter what. Shoot him, bomb him, nuke him, he'll be back eventually. However, there are ways to neutralise him and it wouldn't even take a genius to figure it out, and he also doesn't have any uber-plot-breaking 'my power's better than your power' abilities either.
If you want to pretend to be a kid in a schoolyard pretending to be a superhero, then that's nice, but stay away from me. The reason people don't like it is because, deep down, no one actually liked being bullied in the schoolyard.

While Caps Lock wasn't used, the subtlety exhibited wasn't much more than that. Neither character appeared anything more than two-dimensional and shallow.
Hopefully, I shouldn't have to point out why you'd be intensely boring to RP around. Discussing "lol, powerlevels" in RP is not exactly interesting.
These characters (and perhaps some that play them?) exemplify the narcissist: they care only for themselves; screw taking an interest in other people's characters and interacting with them, it should be about me!
Powerful characters need skill and flair to be portrayed in an RP scenario without becoming overbearing and to portray their personality without being a self absorbed child.

Why "Godly" chars are frowned upon?
Well there has been many valid points; the cops and robbers.. and the kid who just dont want to die is one.
Cause in the game there is always those who want to be the most powerful characters around.
There is just a few problems with Godly Characters. If they are so all powerful, then there is no need for the other players characters. There is no need to fight, there is no need to play, cause Players "GOD" can fix anything with but moving his, her, its finger.
My problem often with meeting players with GODly characters are "What are the odds meeting a God in D?" It should be none. Cause Gods usually have other things to do then hang around in bars 
.
Its about belif or is it believable? God have worshippers, dont they? Its all about exiting background and a deep, long History. It must NOT be a powertrip akin to the "My character is stronger then your characters nanana!"
Besides examples from comic literature with Marvels THOR and Hercules joining heroes (Avengers), there are few GOD's or Pantheons in COX lore. We assume the greek, the norse etc God chars are around (most likely we are right in our thinking).
Why Gods would enlist as Heroes [Question to OP: Was supergroup chat Heroes or villains? Cause if it was Heroes... im a little concerned about this Son of Ares ] is another question.
If Gods where meddling to much in the affairs of man... then there would be no need for Heroes (or villains) or any of our characters.
I may have some powerful characters but I use a system of 1-5 to scale my chars power.
1= passive powers, little power.
2= Stronger then 1. Minimum requirement for joining Hero program.
3= More power and more control over your power(s). Can have multiple powers too.
4= Extreme power. From you comes power, just like it comes from characters like X-mens Magneto.
5= Your power is like (or is) a God. (Stronger then Marvels Phoenix, like Galacticus, like Unknown. In our game, like Heqat (misspell), Statesman (he is incarnate after all) etc.
Personally i tend to get in the 3-4 power range on my chars but the chars have limitations. And if such characters have limitations, then GOD's should have to. Perhaps even more so.
If a player really wants to make a GOD character, it must be an interesting character. You may not even know he or she is a God, nor those around them. They should have limitations that would bring them down to heroic stature. After all you dont see Statesman throwing lightning rods galore. They should be interesting, developed and with room for development to. The problem is that since they are GOD's they are very set in their way and you will have a hard time getting any development on them at all.
(Thus my sentiment is, why do you want to make a God, a lvl 5 character... it is less fun).
A GODly character needs also a skilled player behind him or her with the knowhow of when, how, where and when NOT to use the chars abilities.
Oh.. and I love D. In D, even Gods are near Mortal status... for in D, DJ Zero is THE God. (Its his pocket dimension after all)
As long as the RP will be pure GodModding from a players part (and not only those who play Gods do this) then I dont have a problem with Godly chars.
Well hope some of my thoughts or confusion helps the OP's question.

I don't like to blame people, but I do think Son of Ares was headstrong...
Seriously, I don't want to act like some sort of "it's all about me" type in RP - with great power comes great responsibility. I didn't want to act that way - if I did, then that must be the problem. 
*cough* No punches being pulled here folks, sorry. Time for some home truths.
Looking at that wall of text Z kindly filtered for us, the problem isn't so much the godlike characters, and more the absolutely shockingly appalling roleplaying on display. Really, you guys should be on Bad Roleplayers Suck, and probably are... I'm not surprised the guy left, he probably did that to prevent himself hunting you down in RL and yanking your modem cable out.
It's always the same with you, Phantoms. Every time you turn up at GG, you've got some absolutely awful character that NO one wants to talk to, because he's done everything, seen everything, got all the powers, murdered hundreds of heroes, whatever. Everything someone says, your char has done it better, had it worse, got the t-shirt, wrote the movie, starred in it, made a billion bucks from it, and married the leading lady.
As to why godlike characters aren't liked, Birdy has already given the answer to that; but I'm not expecting you to take the slightest bit of notice. I have zero doubt that the next time you grace GG with your presence, it'll be on yet another char that's on some kind of rehab program after killing 100's of heroes or some other stupidity.

Just remember the two vital RP mantras;
- IC does not equal OOC
- IC Actions = IC Consequences
Well this a subject that bugs me a little. So a chance to vent (Again, oh god just hit me for going on about it >.< is something I'll leap on.
God characters, or those that are massively powerful, don't suck. But they do suck in CoH. Superman is fine because his enemies are the kind you'd expect him to fight, Darksied, Brainiac and Doomsday are all character as powerful if not more so than Superman. If he's fighting Batman, Lex Luthor or any of the less powerful villains you can bet your [censored] the words 'Kryptonite' or 'Magic' will pop up to keep the story interesting.
The thing is people in CoH not only are fighting Villains that aren't anywhere on that scale of power (I mean Recluse is a wuss compared to any Superman villain.) but also usually thier Supermanish character don't even have the weakness Superman does, making them even more powerful and even less interesting.
Playing someone who is bound to win no matter the adversity, with no effort, is boring. Very boring. And playing a character that fits the setting around these people makes you start to question either why these all powerful beings haven't fixed everything yet, or worse, why you even bother turning up.
I once did an freeform RP session with someone who couldn't be touched by anything, their powers blocked all attacks and they could easily dispose of enemies. It was dull, the only role I found was being the sane voice to their immense power trip, but really I could have not been there and the difference wouldn't have been felt. They couldn't lose!
All I ask (And I do mean ask, I can't force people to do it) is for people to try remain in level with the settings. Blasters aren't tougher than Tanks, Tanks can't hit harder than Scrappers, you don't have every power in the book, pick a few and for Christ's sake stick with them. Fell free to expand them, or change them out if needed but don't keep amassing them until you're a Blaster who's impervious to damage, can melt steal with a touch and still throw bolts of energy that disintegrate all matter without ever getting tired. While asleep. That's silly.
Your characters limitations are usually just as, if not more interesting than your strengths. You need some to be a complete character. They need to be actual limitations too, some obscure weakness no one will every feasibly come across or use or a mental problem like 'Too Confident' isn't a weakness, it's fluff. You need to be weak in some areas to be interesting and to be part of team. Else why bother even making a team at all? Just leave us alone and do it all yourself, we'll prefer it that way.
I guess what I'm saying is, don't make us all feel like Aquaman. Third wheels in a fight we're all participating in, but essentially unnecessary when you've got those that can change the world so easily around them.
I apologise for the forwarding statement, I know im not a known RP'r in game and have merely dabbled, but I have experience in deadlands and other such types, but my reply is focused more on the comic book relation aspect and my view is this:
Look at most comic book heroes that have "uber godlike powers"
A prime example would be Superman.
Now to start off - in the early years he was much less powerful than the version who would be known later. He jumped over skyscrapers and couldnt fly. He lifted cars, not building/planets etc as in today 
.
His powers have been increased -and diversified - little by little, in order to give readers a reason to keep buying.
Their (first) scientific explanation, by the difference of mass and of atmospheric pressure between Earth and his native planet, became ridiculous only because of this growing. It was absolutely credible in the beginning.
It's in order to make an equilibrium with this ever-growing power that editors were compelled to introduce kryptonite (December 1949)thus to make him less godlike and more Human
..For what makes a hero, someone we look up to?..yes, some one who could be idolised?..maybe...someone you need to relate to?..absolutely...if supes stayed indestructable then readers would get bored, so there has to be ways of making him more human, hence his weakness to kryptonite/doomsday/annoying reporters.
Plus his ongoing moralistic battles with Bruce Wayne in the JLA series are always fun just to see the fact that this seemingly godlike being is also so naive when it comes to people...another weakness if you will, simply put a character no matter the pinnacle of his powers, has to have some weakness, some humanity to relate to for the character to be believable.
So my point is this, Phants asks why Godlike chars are frowned upon, they are not, but when you make them into unkillable egomaniacs with no humanity to relate to, it becomes a bit hard to have interaction with.
Its not your toon or the powers you have but what you yourself bring to the table.

Player 1: Cower before me mortals, for I am Pibble! God of custard! Obey me or I will cover your with my custardy wrath!
Player 2: Uh, you what, bud?
Player 3: Cower before me weak mortals, for I am Custardo! God of custard!
Player 1: Hey, no you're not, I'm god of custard!
Player 3: Like hell you are! I've had this char for ages!
Player 1: Stop talking out your ear! I'VE HAD THIS CHAR FOR MONTHS SO GET LOST!!
Player 2: You're both barking, get away from me.

Against my better judgement, Im going to try and answer the OPs question. Why are Godly characters frowned upon?
1) Theyre boring.
A character who is a god will likely have been everywhere and seen everything. Theres nothing left to learn for them, no experience to be gained. Theres no situation which they struggle with or need to call on the aid of other heroes for.
2) Nothing is a challenge for them.
Nothing in game should be able to touch them, therefore no situation is a threat. One definition of a hero is someone who tries to do the right thing against insurmountable odds. With a god, nothing is insurmountable, nothing can beat them. Therefore they are never in trouble, therefore there is no drama. To care about a character (particularly a hero who is risking their life for innocents) there has to be some threat. Being divine kind of negates a lot of that risk.
3) They have no motivation.
Following on from the above, and to paraphrase other posters: why is this divine being here on earth mingling with mortals? What are they attempting to gain? More followers? Friends? What does Pocket D or GG have that their divine realm doesnt? (Actually, Ravenswing has already answered this: lots of scantily clad warrior women looking for divine love! Don't let Zeus catch wind of that place! )
4) It can ride roughshod over other peoples characters.
A god meets a blind superhero. Poof! You can see! = Character ruined.
A god meets a character who lost their family. Poof! Your family are alive again! = Character ruined.
A god meets a character who is trapped in our timeline. Poof! Your back in your own time zone again! = Character ruined.
Simple examples I know but probably the best way of showing how easy it is for a divine being to break a character concept.
5) It belittles other peoples characters.
As has been stated, its far too easy for the god to start lording it over others, making these puny mortals seem like worms beneath their feet. Just the ego-boost you needed. Great. In fact, having a character even refer to another as 'mortal' tends to send my RP Ego-Alarm off. Only $9.99 from Wal-Mart. 
In short, they break a lot of unseen courtesies in RP. Theyre just too damned powerful and end up breaking plots. Most times that gods have mixed with mortals in comics, they are reduced in power in some way or serving some sort of punishment. In short, something in the mortal realm is a threat to them. If you do insist on playing a god, try keeping them to one aspect and leave them vulnerable to others. Hercules is superstrong and invulnerable but Galactus turned him into a pile of protoplasm. Splat! Give them a weakness, a real weakness otherwise they just turn into god-modding, boring caricatures.

Title really says it.
So, here's the situation. I got invited to a RPSG with my vill, from a guy I met on Heroes coalition, joined, SG chat is purely strict RP, but that's not the point, here's how it went...
WARNING: Contains LOTS of bad language and suggestive themes.
Sorry for lots of channel, it's SG chat only you should read.

I know this was ICly, but Guy 2 then told the leader we were "godmodding", when we didn't godmod at all, just used threats.
So, my question is, why do people frown 'godly' characters? In RP you are who you are, he's a god, he's a human. In RP OOC powers/ATs don't affect IC power, as far as I'm concerned.
Discuss.
