* The evil Djinn in ''Film/{{Wishmaster}}'' is about as close to this as would be possible while [[{{Conflict}} keeping the story entertaining]], as he claims that his wishes are bound only by the imagination of the person making the wish. The very few things he can't do is to mess with the very basis of reality, such as killing or unmaking himself ({{God}} made his kind immortal when He created the universe), and undoing evil itself ([[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil as evil is necessary for there to be good]]). Every other wish pertaining to him personally is also bound by the ancient prophecy of the three wishes [[HellOnEarth unleashing the Djinn hordes upon the Earth]], so he can only grant wishes involving himself that don't [[LogicBomb undo his ability to grant them]]. Ergo, no wishing for the Djinn to turn himself into a harmless bunny rabit. However, wishing events from days ago had gone differently, preventing his initial release from whatever prison he was in and thus negating any previous wishes, is fully on the table.

* A pair of supposed omnipotent entities in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse once got into a debate over this when they ran into the [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Celestials]]. One of them didn't understand why the other was so intimidated by the Celestials because they were both omnipotent and nothing should be able to threaten them; the other told her that yes, they were omnipotent, but there are "levels of omnipotence" and the Celestials are on a much higher level than either of them. This was stated as fact in the ''ComicBook/OfficialHandbookOfTheMarvelUniverse''. See SuperWeight for details.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "I of Newton", the demon boasts about the seemingly limitless scope of his powers. He can travel to the Andromeda galaxy and back in a microsecond, make two electrons occupy the same quantum state, has access to every piece of recorded information in multiple universes and can visit [[AlternateHistory alternate histories]]. Sam manages to defeat him by setting him an impossible task: [[spoiler:he tells him to get lost.]]

* The main character of "WebOriginal/NothingLikeTheSun" can do anything at all. Despite this, she has no idea how to stop her eyes from constantly glowing as bright as the Sun. [[spoiler:This even extends to trapping her own authors in her own world to force them to turn her glowing eyes off. Only after then does she realize that the only reason she wasn't previously able to get rid of her glowing eyes was because the authors weren't allowing it, and after they are dealt with, she just turns them off]].

* Specialized Omnipotence: The character is omnipotent within a field or concept. Specialized omnipotence, if you will. {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s are almost guaranteed to display this with the concept they embody, while a DomainHolder might be this within wherever they hold Domain.

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is absolutely omnipotent, unbeknownst to herself. And considering [[{{Jerkass}} her behaviour]], it's probably better for the SOS Brigade to keep all paranormal stuff away from her in secret,since if she knows [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ horrible things might ensue]]. She apparently already unknowignly destroyed and recreated the universe once, before the series began.

* Sai Akuto from ''LightNovel/DemonKingDaimao'' can rewrite reality as easily as an author rewriting his story.

* ''Literature/TheBible'': TheGod, of course.
