Why the Watcher is Myth's most powerful character

I realize this has been brought up a number of times before, but I still felt some things had been left out in the argument for the Watcher's power. So as to not leave any out, I'll just list the reasons why the Watcher is DA BEST.

1.HE CREATED/DISCOVERED THE DREAM OF UNLIFE! This means EVERY thrall, soulless, shade, etc. you fight exists because of The Watcher (or at least his discovery).

2.He defeated Mazzarin, the most powerful avatara/archmage that ever lived. Though he had to use a big ol' army of thrall to do so, the fact still remains that The Watcher is the one that finally finished him off (I'm pretty sure this is from Shade flavor text, tho it might be from thrall/avatara, can't remember)

3.He's immortal. Or at least so close to it that it really doesn't matter whether he is or isn't, as evidenced by his being around for 1000's of years and being labelled an ancient evil. Though I realize others have acheived immortality (ex.-Soulblighter), this still takes a whole lotta power.

4.He can go one-on-one with the Deceiver and survive. The Deceiver's flavor text states that he and the Watcher fought at Seven Gates (or Bagrada, one of the two) and that the Watcher barely survived. Barely or not, surviving at all while going one-on-one with the Deceiver is something no one else can do. And I realize this is sorta making The Watcher seem the equal of the Deceiver, but don't worry, #5 will address that.

5.He's more powerful then the Deceiver. Though there is no straight evidence of him being able to kick the Deceiver's ass, we can still infer that he is more powerful through some observations. The Deceiver was defeated by the weak, shattered remnants of the legion at the end of the Great War and was imprisoned in a block of ice, and couldn't break free without the help of my zerks bringing him his staff. The Watcher however, could only be defeated by the mighty Connacht (and even Connacht needed his army to help him out in order to do so). And as far as imprisonment methods go, Connacht needed a whole damn mountainside to imprison the Watcher, not just some worthless block of ice. The Watcher also managed to free himself on his own, without my zerks bringing him anything.

6.In the end, the only thing powerful enough to drop the Watcher was himself, arrows tipped with bone from HIS arm. Nothing anyone else had could stop him, they had to use the power of the Watcher himself.

Just had to give props to my favorite character in the whole series. It's a shame we don't see more of him in the game. Oh well. Let the debating over who's more powerful begin!
