Just once I think it would be great to see a series where instead of demigods (or any other sort of magical- human hybrid) being less powerful than their divine parent, they were MORE powerful. Terrifying. Hilarious. The possibilities are endless.
In Dragon Ball Z, half-Saiyan hybrids were supposed to have a greater threshold for power than their Saiyan parent. But this plot point was abandoned and later forgotten after the Cell Games arc.
