Neo seems a bit Deus Ex to me. Like, they started their main characters to strong, and now they need to make someone even stronger just so the outcome of fights is not predictable.

By that definition, any antagonist who doesn't get shit stomped by a protagonist and gives them a challenge is a deus ex. Weiss also got beaten by the Lieutenant. He's just.. not as popular as Neo, because he his fight showed the personality of a potato as compared to Neo's smug ass scuffle.
