It's not simple to come up with a comic... how would I do it... it would require some form of continuity, meaning it's not a one-shot story and it's all over.
Setting: Current times. Protagonist: Some guy with magical abilities. He starts off as someone who wants to be a good guy, helping people, be liked. Around a similar time as he started to have magical powers, some alien appeared in his town, who later leveled it. As the town was flattened and a lot of people killed, he started to conjure massive blocks, which later formed to become a portal to his world.
He managed to finish it, but not activate it, so it was a massive ring of stone-like material. While the alien was superior, the protagonist struggled and fought, but managed to defeat the alien, along with the help of the military.
Later on, the protagonist cooperated with the government and became something like a hero. But that joyful time didn't last long - experiences have turned him cynical, and he gathered quite some hatred from the public. As his powers amassed, he started to think, what if he could change society to be better.
At some point, after plot happens, his relationship grew hostile to the government, which in turn tried to assassinate him. Multiple people acquired magical powers, and they used someone who could enhance his sniper rifle. He managed to barely survive it, but that was the start of him going after those who did it. And as it turned out that it was indeed a consensus he faced against, and he got hated by basically everyone. The way he approached it is by grabbing the primary responsible guy's head, provoking him to tell him all he wants to know, who refused to answer, then burned away the brain cells that lighted up. He turned him into a drooling retard who lost his personality, who lost the ability to be defiant, and just gave him the answers.
So he repaid that thanklessness. He returned to the portal, opened it, entered it, and on the alien world he managed to impress them by defeating their champion and absorbing his powers. So he took a bargain with them - they may enter Earth, cause destruction and havoc, but they have to leave after 1 month.
Hell rained upon Earth, and it was observed that it was him who caused all of it - entering the portal and leaving it with a horde of aliens. He was universally known, hated and feared, but that was his opportunity to reform the country as its leader, or even the entire planet as its new god.
We cut to a team of magic users who teamed up to do an adventure to defeat him. They managed to show up at his tower and confront him. The protagonist greets them by firing an energy beam fired from his finger through the head of one of their team mates, instantly killing him. He essentially played around with them, he didn't take the fight seriously, and he didn't have to. He defeated all of them except one guy.
He was different - he had the power to negate magic. A weak magic user, but the ability itself was unlike all others - surrounded by an aura that erased all magic around him. All that worked was telekinesis, throwing rocks at him or other blunt attacks with surrounding matter. It was frustrating.
The protagonist managed to shove him out of his tower, but the fight concluded in an draw. That antagonist could grow stronger over time and become a real threat. The protagonist wants to reform the world to become better, to make people earn their freedom, to design it in the way he envisions, while the antagonist is a stubborn personality type who is obsessed with justice and "being good." So we have a situation in which both sides are in a war, and it could continue a lot.
There is access to the alien planet, magic users who may have unique abilities, the 2 characters, a devastated world, and various ways how that magic can develop. For example the character with the anti-magic abilities could create a shield for others so that they aren't easily insta-killed. The protagonist may focus on diversifying his powers to others, who become empowered, creating powerful characters. For example by imbuing items that grant powers, worn by foot soldiers who serve him. It can be a back-and-forth type of situation where a lot of things can happen.
The difference is that good and evil are obfuscated, and that the original protagonist turns into quite a mass-murderer with questionable intentions. Because the first part focuses on the protagonist only, his actions and thoughts are understood step by step. He isn't irrational, his biggest mistake was his naivety which turned him cynical, even malevolent, and then he made a decision. The "good guy" later on is the unrelenting hero type. He is resilient, has resolve, and is committed to defeat the protagonist. But he doesn't understand, he doesn't want to understand, and considers the protagonist evil and insane... which is the common view.
