I would rather not see. "Person who can cause damage without military aid" goes against the entire point of PersonOfMassDestruction. They are supposed to be metaphors for weapons of mass destruction, most commonly the {{nuke| em}} but no matter the death device it is a metaphorical trope for weapon use.

"He can cause damage" is a stupefying simplification. Yes, a PersonOfMassDestruction can have mass destructive super powers, but they do not need to. It is more about how they are treated than any inherent qualities. An OmnicidalManiac might have impressive superpowers too but they do not need them, what they want to do with their superpowers is what is important. The MultiversalConqueror may have impressive superpowers but they do not need to have them either.

If tropers are really so intent to blab about 'powerful' characters they should do so on SuperWeight or {{super power lottery}} or something else. We should not waste a perfectly good trope page just to satisfy their urges. We should just Cleanup PersonOfMassDestruction, not change it.
