Nope. Consider Superman and Darkseid, who basically have gamebreaker powers and can fuck up entire planets and outclass by far most other reasonable opposition. They could both be considered overpowered.
And of course this is coming from a series that makes new powers up for the hero as time goes along...
If two characters are so much stronger than the rest of the cast and have incredible powers, they can be both overpowered.
Or take any group from the later part of DBZ. I think destroying the world at will is pretty damned overpowered. But Goku would still have threats that were stronger than him. It reached a point where many of the other supporting characters are useless.
My point is... if someone has ridiculous and unreal powers, it takes a villain with equally as ridiculous and unreal powers for it to work.
