Supernatural Powers and Abilities:

The vast and diverse powers and abilities of the multi-verse.

Many forms of fiction feature characters attributed with superhuman, supernatural, or paranormalabilities,
often referred to as "superpowers" (also spelled "super powers" and "super-powers") or "powers". This
tradition is especially rich in the fictional universes of various comic book stories, movies, and video games.
Below is a list of many of those powers that have been used. Some of these categories overlap.

 Examples: Creation, Destruction and most Manipulations
 Mechanism: powers centered of the manipulation of immanent laws of reality.
 Examples: Physics Manipulation, Virtual Warping, Causality Manipulation
 Source: powers centered on its origin (usually supernatural) allowing a variety of applications.
