A powercampaign is the same as a normal campaign if you raise the threats to a similar scale.
Chiad! Remember the Cake? Or Turbo Rat?

Then again, there are always puzzles...Which are a challenge for even the highest level character.
I've had a group of seven demi gods ransacking an apartment for a key to an interdimentional bar for an hour and a half, not realising that one of them had pocketed the key itself about forty five minutes beforehand. (You KNOW who you are!)
Or a group of intergalactic bounty hunters getting their asses kicked by a pair of worms because they couldn't figure out which one took SDC damage, and which one took MDC.
And other similar situations.
I've played a God in a campaign and almost was killed by a Rat. In that same campaign, if there wasn't this one little thing (written on my sheet) I would've died upon contact with a Spoon. And later, to get out of the consequences of Blowing Things Up (a normal tactic for power characters that are frustrated) I had to dye all my lovely white hair bright pink and pretend to be Chiad's little sister... Or be blown up by 'a bazillion space ships with rifts cannons'.Scary shit I tell you.

If the characters are big, just make the problems bigger. If they're defeating enemies too fast, do things to slow them down. Not only is it fun for the player to be Big and Rude(tm)... And trust me, it is... But it's a challenge to the GM.

Riiiight Chiad?
