[[folder:Negators in general]]
Individuals with superpowers that allow them to negate the rules of the world.
----
* BequeathedPower: According to Rip, when a Negator dies, their powers will transfer to a random different person. This is later confirmed with the location of the Negator with [[spoiler: Unchange after Gina who originally had the power died.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: Compulsory activation abilities, especially if they are self targeting, tend to be exceptionally powerful, but the drawbacks or forced alteration to the Negators basically turns their lives into into permanent living hell from the moment they obtain it. This is by ''design'', as God grants negator abilities in a deliberate attempt to cause as much suffering as possible, such as Tatiana's ability making it impossible for her to live normally and Fuuko becoming a shut-in out of fear she'd kill people with Unluck. Likewise, there are multiple instances of a Negator power manifesting being a DreamCrushingHandicap to said individual. [[spoiler:Anno Un probably has it the worst out of anyone, effectively being deleted from existence while still being forced to live in it.]]
* ClassifiedInformation: Negators whose powers have yet to be revealed to the audience have their abilities listed as "Un'''[Confidential]'''" when they appear on covers. [[spoiler: At one point, Billy's power is listed as "Un'''[Investigating]'''" because although he claimed his power was Unbelievable, that could have easily been a lie - and so it proves.]]
* CursedWithAwesome: Voluntary activation Negators have it a lot better since they are free to use their ability at will or just keep it off. That being said, the moment they originally obtain their negation is still usually bound to PowerIncontinence which oftentimes causes disasters to happen before they can figure out what's going on.
* MagicAIsMagicA: All Negators have a general ability that allows them to cancel some facet of how the world works, and each power has specific rules for how it activates and what it can affect.
* NoSelfBuffs: One standard rule is that a power can either negate things happening to the user themselves or to outside targets, but never both. Andy's Undead (which negates his own death) is in the former category while Fuuko's Unluck (which negates the luck of other people) falls into the latter category, for example. [[spoiler:However, some Negators can do this through LoopholeAbuse if their rules are worded in a manner that allows such to happen; the 101th loop Sean is able to turn his friends invisible because his rule states he can turn anything that belongs to him invisible and said rule doesn't indicate what belongs to him has to be non-living.]]
* PowerIncontinence: "Compulsory activation" type Negators can never turn off their powers, usually to their detriment. Voluntary activation abilities also experience a bout of uncontrolled use when first given by God, so that the Negator shares in the experience of its cruel inversion of TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: While non-Negators have their memories retroactively altered when a rule is added or changed, Negators still remember the world as it was beforehand. For example, after Apocalypse unifies all languages, Shen can still speak and understand Chinese, while his partner Mui, who is herself Chinese, has no idea what he's saying.
* SemanticSuperpower: Due to the nature of Negator abilities negating the rules of the universe, their limits and potential are dependent on how the individual perceives and interprets those rules, which means they can end up as a form of PersonalityPowers. One of the best illustrations of this comes from Unavoidable, which has shown two different individuals with the ability. Void's Unavoidable manifests as him [[UnblockableAttack negating his opponent's ability to dodge his attacks]] because of his professional boxer background. His predecessor meanwhile has his version of Unavoidable allow him to win lottery prizes, implying it negates an item of his choice's ability to avoid him.
* SuperpowerRussianRoulette: Some Negators have powers that they can mostly control at will and that don't affect their lives that much; others, like Tatiana, have no chance of living a normal life after acquiring their powers and need outside assistance to live. It's noted that God always gives a Negator their powers at exactly the wrong time, so no Negator goes without suffering completely.
* ThemeNaming:
** In the original Japanese, the names of the Negators' powers are English words in the form "Un'''[negated concept]'''" - Undead, Unluck, Untouchable, etc. - written in kanji with relevant definitions, outside of the BossSubtitles, which are written in English text. This can't really come across in English, so the translation just uses the powers' names.
** Most Negators have a [[PunnyName punny]] [=and/or=] [[MeaningfulName meaningful]] name that references their power in some way. For instance, "Void" is part of "Unavoidable," and Juiz (Unjustice) means "judge" in Portuguese.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: A particularly perverse inversion. Negators don't obtain their power as a result of trauma, rather, God grants their Negator ability ''specifically'' in the worst possible moment to maximize tragedy, typically killing people close to the new Negator, in many cases their own families or loved ones. Essentially, the precise moment a Negator becomes so is a great source of trauma for them.
