Yet. My original question was, what if Monty or someone planned to make a character, whose Semblance could be as strong as a Noble Phantasm.

If I had to guess, if it happened, it wouldn't be a protagonist, but a villain, after the "Cinder 3 Volume Arc". Probably not even a Semblance, but just an ability the character can use, like Glynda's telekinesis, or Cinder's Pyrokinesis-through-Dust-Clothing.

If a villain has enough power to be classified as, say, Anti-Army, then it could give the villain points in seeming-threatening. One of the things I fear though, is that if they make one like that, the writing may screw things up. A villain like that can be beaten understandably and acceptably by the heroes if it has a noticeable weakness, or the heores find a way to reduce it's power.

But I don't trust Miles & Kerry's writing skills enough for that. Everytime I think about this, I always worry they may do things wrong and make the villain's defeat look like it grabbed the Idiot Ball in some way, such as it's "weak point" being very easy to access, or leaving the only thing that could weaken it out in the open for the heroines to grab, or just not use it's army-anihilating powers for no reason at all.

TL;DR: What if Monty makes a villain with a Semblance, or power, similar in strength to a NP?
