Play a narrative system.

Some bullshit loophole that robs the character of their powers.

>>47358132
I would make them a plot device.

Someone who has the highest value in every mental stat fights him.

People who have the highest possible value in other stats...and then make them have a bunch of abilities that capatalize it. Like for someone who has the highest possible dex stat, weapon finesse, someone with the highest mental stats? Give them a bunch of domination based ones.

Narrative system.

Have them weak socially. People can easily be swayed to distrust them and stand against them. No matter how strong, a man without friends is hollow inside.

Lowest possible values in mental and social stats.

By making every other player's character comparably strong and pitting them against an appropriate foe.
