A slightly altered form of energy projection, like the one used by the green lantern corps..........

Or i could just go with the Ki manipulation in dragon ball

or maybe even superboy's(Kon-El/conner kent) Tactile telekinesis. or maybe telekinesis in most of its forms.....



Nah. All that pales in comparison with reality warpers, like The Q or Mr. Mxyzptlk.......

Reality is at your whims. an alien fleet would disappear if you wanted it to......

Invisibility because you can sneak up on someone and get away with anything or spy on your enemies and know their every move. You would have to be truly invisible though none of that predator crap where you can be seen in infared or true UV light. And yes Q powers are ultimate, but its more a state of being or existence than a superpower. Superpowers are powers that others of your kind or similar beings  do not possess.

umm..... ok..... so... copy and past time.

superhero fiction is a superpower. It is the ability to reshape matter and energy, create or alter life and matter, turn a person's thoughts or desires into reality, simulate any and all other powers and abilities, bend time and space or possibly even rewrite the laws of physics.

All things are possible for a reality-warper, making them seem omnipotent. The Joker, wielding the power of Mr. Mxyzptlk as "Emperor Joker", was even able to rewrite logic itself, for example, making the whole world believe that 2 + 2 equals "five"[citation needed].

Some of the most extreme reality warpers, like Mxyzptlk and James Jaspers, are not even limited by their own physical bodies and can alter their own stature and appearance at will to become whatever they want to be, no matter how bizarre it might be[citation needed]. In DC comics, the fifth-dimensional imps that sometimes visit the DC universe, of which Mxyzptlk is the most common and well-known, seem to be the most common and also the most powerful reality warpers[citation needed].

Rarely in fiction are reality warpers depicted as heroic or benign. Reality warpers in fiction are almost always antagonists, villains or otherwise depicted as dangerous. Reality warpers exhibiting a childlike (such as Anthony Fremont) or insane personality (like Proteus or Mad Jim Jaspers) are also common.

Another typical theme in fiction is for the protagonist to be granted this ability and must resist abusing the power. Reality warpers are also commonly affected by their subconscious minds, which cause reality to change against their will (like Magician of Ultimate X-Men or Doctor Doom with the Beyonder's power).

In cartoons, the effects of reality warping are often shown to be temporary. For example, in Superman: The Animated Series, reality returns to normal after Mr. Mxyzptlk is tricked into going back to his dimension.

In the real world, a person undergoing a lucid dream may be able to experience the power of reality warping.

I'm thinking this should have been placed in Idle or Say It. Mayday, Mayday is for people who need help. This isn't a call for help.
