Other

  • If Doctor Manhattan counts, then Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom does too.
  • The genies from Eight Billion Genies can make practically anything happen so long as the wishes are worded properly. Their abilities can completely ignore conventional logic and physics, making functional Humongous Mecha, giving people superpowers, and even turning the moon into a ravenous Genius Loci. They even mentioned offhandedly how they could create hundreds of new realities to accommodate the wishes of leading politicans to have their countries rule as a superpower, but they call it far too much work to do so, instead choosing to anull all those wishes.
  • The title character from Enigma.
  • In Giraffes On Horseback Salad, the Surrealist Woman can alter herself and her surroundings with nary a thought; her appearance changes from moment to moment, and her assistants only need to express a request before it's fulfilled. Coupled with her Cloud Cuckoo Lander tendencies, it's no wonder she leaves a trail of surrealism wherever she goes.
  • Sebastian from GloomCookie can do this both wittingly and on accident.
  • The Plutonian from Irredeemable is one of these, though he isn't aware of it.
  • The title character from Kid Lobotomy eventually realizes a large part of the reason for the warped nonsensical aspects of reality around him is himself, and that he's created a number of his associates and friends out of figments of his imagination and guilt including both of his love interests.
  • In all incarnations of the character (comic, movie, cartoon), The Mask has this ability by virtue of effectively being a real-life Tex Avery character.
  • Manservant Neville in the The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse, the graphic novel conclusion to The Middleman. To the point where defeating him requires an army consisting of every Middleman who has ever lived.
  • Nemesis the Warlock: Warlocks are powerful aliens with sorcerous powers, but Nemesis' young son Thoth can actually warp spacetime itself.
  • Alfie O'Meagan from Nth Man: The Ultimate Ninja . Complicated in that he's an unrepentant Psychopathic Manchild.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog:
    • In the Robotnik Reigns Supreme arc of Sonic the Comic, Doctor Ivo Robotnik.
    • On the other side of the ocean, in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) Amy Rose is this - albeit on a supposedly limited scale after having absorbed the Chaos Ring in a desperate attempt to be older and a Freedom Fighter. So far, the most she's seen doing is summoning her Piko Piko Hammer. There's also Knuckles during his "Chaos Knuckles" phase. He even goes so far as to try to alter time to save his people, but that goes as well as you expected.
  • In Über, this is the true power of distortion halos, which can twist matter so precisely that they can kill a man without even breaking his skin. At one point, Katyusha uses hers to instantly process soil into edible paste. Sieglinde uses hers to blow people up, build a bridge, and lighten her hair. Siegmund uses his to melt Hitler's mouth to shut him up and twist a valve in his heart.
  • The Rumor in The Umbrella Academy has the ability to tell lies that come true, which she usually does by saying "I heard a rumor that..." As her power is speech-based, it can be disabled if anything happens to her voice.
  • The title character from the French comic "Imbattable" (Invincible), by Pascal Jousselin has the ability to see and jump in between the panels on the comic book page. Much to the confusion of his enemies. He also has a sidekick - 2D Boy - who can selectively ignore the third dimension, and one villain had the ability to move through the page (so he'd appear in the frame on the other side).
