Is The Overseer good?
The Overseer is immune to Nullify, Fate Seal, and Stagger, and actually punishes opponents who try to use them on him, on top of punishing excessive Special Attack use on both offense and defense. Being Poison Immune means Liquid Courage is free extra damage with none of the downside.
Purify can shut his whole kit down, though, and he ramps up more slowly against opponents who don't generate their own Power, which is why he's C.

Background
The Overseer has just started his conquering career and while he isn’t villainous, he’s not quite noble either.
He uses Captain America's shield for defense, and the Silver Surfer board as a giant cleaver, but his most powerful weapon is a copy of the Infinity Gauntlet that holds the Cosmic Cube, which he uses to travel across the Battlerealm looking for conquest.
Mechanics
The Overseer gains Gamma Power every time the Opponent gains a bar of Power, increasing his Attack Power and potency of some of his Debuffs.
When he reaches three stacks of Gamma Power he can activate the Cosmic Cube by launching a Special Attack, which grants him some cosmic abilities.
While normally an Opponent with lots of power is a big threat, the Overseer has a reliable access to Taunt which gives him a good level of control over the Opponent’s power level.
