Not to pick on Mark, but several people have been making this mistake so I thought I'd point it out. The Heroes and Superheroes of Dragon Pass do NOT represent individuals. Each is actually a large collection of VERY powerful people. They all survive by having lots of powerful friends which brings me to my next point.

So, why hasn't he been?
He doesn't have any friends to watch his back, and I bet he's got plenty of enemies. Even the President of the US has the secret service.
I don't really have a problem with his power level because it is your Glorantha. I've played in dozens of different Gloranthas and some have been played at that level. I've seen (at a Con) PC's with spell-bouncing spinning Adamantine swords that would swat Onslaught like a fly. However, anyone that powerful had to have friends or be really, really nice. Powerful people make powerful enemies.
