Well. Every single time I pick up the Star Power-up in Super Mario Bros. :)

Ever notice that it gives you such great delusions of grandeur that you run into shit that quickly shrinks/kills your ass far earlier than you anticipated? Hello, btw.

Hi!
Me too, or I just do some jump that can't reach the next little tower. Hope all is kicking fine, will PM so as not to clog.
Shooting down a plane with my bazooka in BF1942. And then shooting down a fast moving jeep going past me with my bazooka in BF1942. Also successfully "sniping" infantry with my bazooka in BF1942. :D
Hotline Miami gave me a lot of those moments; I think it's intentionally designed to.
Ah 1942!

My mwahahaha moments are only vague memories but they'd be something like this...

There was a "F2P" game called Chain of Command, back before "F2P" was a thing... I was a mediocre player at best but there were a few matches where everything clicked and I led my team to victory against the best of the best, with sheer dumb luck and sweat, moving down the squads of the best players.

Dark Souls - taking down a boss or two, again drenched in gamer sweat with far too little health

Halo 2, rounds in the early days of console multiplayer, when I mowed down many opponents or sat in a tank protecting and / or aiding in capping a flag. Man I wish I could get the "gamer joy" those early console TV moment provided back!

Other than those, a lot of my online moments have felt a bit boring. Not sure what it would take to repeat those or even if anything exists on the horizon that could even come close :(
Oh come on, all those posts and not one single reference to <span class="bold">that</span> scene? I'm very disappointed.

But anyway, the closest time I felt invincible in a game was when I succeeded at getting 100% at Mega Man Zero 3 (Kill many enemies, be quick about it and suffer as few hits as possible in each stage).
Jedi Knight 2, entering an imperial hangar on the late game. Just stand there with the lightsaber and kill everybody by returning blaster fire. At most, the occasional F1 to return a rocket.

Awesome.
Fallout easily. When you get the power armor you can storm through all the villages and towns killing everything in sight knowing almost nothing can kill you and make the people flee before you.

Also for God of War series in their God and Titan modes, I had fun beating certain difficult areas and feeling invincible finally getting through it.
When I get a great combination of items in Binding of Isaac. Like when I had so many rate of fire upgrades that I basically has machine gun tears.
I have had a few moments like that in UT2004, back when my gaming community was still active. I had a trick that most people would usually fall for, even though I did it very often. The trick is to run away from your opponent as if you had very little health left. You then run around a corner, and as soon as you're out of sight, stop, turn around and wait. They, sensing weakness, will usually charge right after you, expecting you to be a lot farther away than you actually are, and expecting you to be facing away from them. The result is that they get a face full of flak cannon (for example) and usually don't have time to loosen a single shot.

Nothing like Force Gripping people and throwing them down to their doom.
Everytime I say the Anna Navarre's killphrase.
Mount & Blade Warband is very good at creating this feeling, especially when you've acquired plate/scale armor or something comparable to that, and have a horse that has a high armor rating. Just try to not feel like a superhero when you can single handily save a village from over thirty bandits without taking any damage.
