Why role-playing isn't fun (for me)

I love role-playing with my oc and with other people, it's just that some people make it really hard to actually put your oc and actually role-play.

Specifically what I'm talking about are overpowered ocs. I know that I'm the one asking someone to role-play with me, but putting my oc who is a street tier up with some other ocs that are galaxy level just objectively isn't fun. I might sound arrogant but for me personally if i have to give my oc mechs and support gear so he can be below sidekick level is just too op. And don't get me wrong i like if you're strong oc is well strong but on the same level as All Might in his prime isn't even role-playing anymore, my oc is just looking at yours going light speed through someone for jaywalking.

I am very flexible when it comes to role-playing, but overpowered ocs is just where i cross the line, because you're oc can be as strong as you want him to be but he can't be stronger than the Big Three of MHA.

It might only be my opinion but if an oc is desperately being the main character it's kinda bad, because there is two of us so we should be equal. And also what do i do when someone's oc doesn't like to talk or has a sad background and that's their whole personality?

JUST TO MENTION BEFORE PEOPLE GET MAD AT ME, I TRY MY BEST, BUT I HAVE PREFERENCES TOO. I COULD BE THAT IT'S MY FAULT TOO. I JUST WANT TO SHOW HOW I FEEL, EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD PROBABLY KEEP MY THOUGHTS ALL TO MYSELF. AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH STRONG OCS WHEN IT'S JUST YOU SHOWING SOMEONE YOU HAVE AN OC BUT WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ROLE PLAY THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN UNSPOKEN RULES YOU KINDA HAVE TO FOLLOW SO YOU DON'T GIVE A BAD IMPRESSION

Ask anything about my oc Killer Bee and I'll reply as him

Killer Bee is a bio-cyborg, he was originally a human but was soon turned into a robot that was based on a wasp, then they had killed him so he wouldn't refuse commands and is now the ultimate lifeform, although he's now completely a robot and there isn't anything left of his consciousness left in that body, the only thing keeping the robot working is the human's own willpower. Killer Bee gets his name because he is literally just a killer, he doesn't do anything else but get commands and targets. 🤖 I AM VERY SORRY THAT I USED AI ON MY CHARACTER, BUT I'VE LOST THE ORIGINALLY ART PIECE ON MY COMPUTER AND I ONLY HAD A BLURRY IMAGE SO I HAD TO USE AI TO SHARPEN THE IMAGE SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO REDRAW IT ALL OVER AGAIN 🤖
