Perfection is a little different to omnipotence I reckon, and I don't see how it is vaguely defined at all if we are to think of a perfect thing to be a thing without flaws. Perfect=flawless. A being can be perfect if it can be flawless.

But a 'flawed life' (= life experience from one perspective) can be 'perfect' from another perspective. .... The one who lived the life and learnt many things that experience can only teach.
