Were they armored hands? It seems odd that something like that would be OP.

They could become intangible, my character manipulated them like magical puppets and they drained the life and energy from anything they touched, on top of being incredibly strong and durable, and quickly regenerated if they became inoperable. 

The issue is that an opponent couldn't really tangle with the hands, but one could easily be used to defend the fairly weak puppet-master while the other could throw an opponent about. Once you're grabbed by something like that your options are ultimately limited.
