History Main / RealityWarper

* ''LightNovel/JuuniTaisen'': [[spoiler: The Warrior of the Rat is able to view 100 different outcomes, and select which one becomes reality. It takes a heavy toll on him, forcing him to take frequent naps to recover, and causing echoes that make him seem familiar to others in spite of having never met. Because YouCantFightFate, he couldn't avoid entering the titular battle and had to settle with finding a reality where he survived]].

** Smitty has a variation on this where he is able to warp reality, but only in ways that minimize entropy; as Parley puts it, his power is to "make everything boring." Throw a deck of cards, and he'll make them land in a perfect stack, arranged by suit and number. Try to [[VirtualTrainingSimulation play a video game]] with him, and the final prize will appear at his feet. And if you need something to land in a certain place, let him throw it and [[FunnyMoments it will crash into a bird that appears out of nowhere, then fall onto the correct spot.]] He seems to have no idea how he does any of this.

* [[spoiler:Malkuth]] from ''[[Fanfic/RyuugisTheGamesWePlay The Games We Play]]'' has the power to change the rules of reality. In theory, he has limits, but they're broad enough that he might as well be a god. Unfortunately, he's a dick. ''The'' dick, as he [[spoiler:created the Grimm. In fact, most of the Grimm, particularly the biggest and strongest types, can only exist because he bends reality over a barrel]].

* all the devils in ''Manga/Dorohedoro'' being essentially deities, with Chidaruma on top having omnipotent powers

* all the devils in "Dorohedoro" being essentially deities, with Chidaruma on top having omnipotent powers

* ''VideoGame/{{ADOM}}'' has wishes that are much like the Wish spell from ''TableTopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', ie. representing something like a genie letting you wish for anything and magically having it happen -- you can even get one from a genie. Of course they still have limits, but basically the game asks you what you want and you can type it in. There's also the Wish spell, which is incredibly hard to cast and gives you a wish. The real Reality Warper would be the [[FanNickName "Archmage"]], a PlayerCharacter who's so ridiculously beefed up [[http://ancardia.wikia.com/wiki/Archmage they can cast Wish whenever they like, however many times they like]].

* From VideoGame/BlazBlue, this is the basis of the concept "Observers". Observers are capable of interfering with events and causality through Phenomena Interventions, although how much you can do depends on how much [[{{Mana}} seithr]] you have from the connection with [[EldritchLocation the Boundary]]. The greatest example would be Takamagahara, essentially a supercomputer humanity created to control space and time, capable of causing [[spoiler:time loops for 72.500 years to search for a way to destroy the [[{{God}} Master Unit, Amaterasu]]]].

*** Yarrick, having killed lots of orks, obtained a reputation of being some kind of unstoppable ork-killer. And most orks believe it. So, when facing orks, he become exactly what they think he is: an unstoppable ork-killer

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''

** Then there is Yhwach. His ability the Almighty is basically this in spades: [[spoiler:he can see into the future and nullify ''any'' outcomes he wishes, doing impossible feats such as developing ways to nullify enemy abilities even before they use it, prepare traps before even physically visiting a location, etc.]] Considering he is [[spoiler:an aspect of Soul King]] though, it's not exactly surprising.
* [[TheEmperor Emperor]] Charles in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' attempts to become a reality warper with his [[AssimilationPlot Ragnarok Connection]]. He's [[spoiler:foiled when Lelouch uses his Geass to convince God to warp reality right back, and destroys his parents in the process.]]

* Ai Enma from ''Anime/HellGirl'' seems to be able to do this, as seen when she's sending people to hell and [[spoiler:during the season one finale, when she's bullying Tsugumi to make her send her father to hell. Although maybe she was just [[MindRape mind raping]] her, it's not very clear.]]

** Also [[spoiler:Nodoka, however briefly, when she steals one of the aforementioned items from one of the bad guys and uses it to teleport herself and Asakura. The bad guy recovers it soon after, but it's still an impressive feat.]]

** It is revealed later that [[spoiler:Izanagi is an imitation of the Sage of the Six Path's power, which is what he used to separate the 10-tails into the nine tailed beasts.]]

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''

** An example from early on in the show's run is the Gastly from ''[[Recap/PokemonS1E20GhostOfMaidensPeak The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', who was easily stronger than any legendary Pokémon. To elaborate, he was able to create hallucinations tangible enough to attack the opponent, rendering himself NighInvulnerable.

* All witches in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'''; they rewrite reality in their immediate vicinity into an EldritchLocation [[spoiler:(often giving an insight into the mind of the magical girl who spawned it)]] in order to manifest. The most powerful witches, such as Walpurgisnacht [[spoiler:and Kriemhild Gretchen]], don't even need that to manifest, and they can warp physics around them just by their mere presence.

* In ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'', amateur fortune teller Hitomi's predictions have always been very accurate, and only become more so after she travels to Gaia. It's later revealed [[spoiler:that she doesn't merely see into the future, but [[ProbabilityPower sees into all possible futures]] and "pulls" the one most in line with her current emotional state into place.]]

** [[ComicBook/{{Cable}} Nathan Summers]] being the love child of Scott Summers & Jean clone; Maddie Pryor, in a [[JigsawPuzzlePlot complex scheme]] enacted by Mister Sinister in order to subvert his creator and master Apocalypse. Is stated by many to be such a powerful (or potentially powerful) psychic of the highest order that there's practically nothing his mind cannot accomplish, when he's unhindered by the T.O. virus. Or to put it another way, Cable is the mainstream reality counterpart of Nate Grey (see below), and as 'Saviour Cable', went toe to toe with the Silver Surfer while simultaneously repairing everything their fight was destroying and holding the vast island-city of Providence in the air. As he put it, while smashing the Surfer's board, [[BadassBoast "I didn't turn myself into everything I ever fought against, a god, just to come up short!"]]

** Proteus on the side of bad. Fortunately, he seems to have limited range, and limited ability to make permanent changes. If he could, he'd make ComicBook/EmperorJoker look like a day at the park. As he cheerfully asked the X-Men when they found him in Edinburgh, "Have you ever heard a city scream?"

** On the "insane, or is he?" side, you have Psylocke's wacky brother Jamie. He sees the world as a collection of "quantum strings," and by manipulating those, he can manipulate... well, due to PowerCreepPowerSeep, it went from "everything around him" (think Proteus) to "everything, period" (think [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q]].) It's a good thing for all involved that the "mad" Jamie is more of a BunnyEarsLawyer who actually knows what he's doing with his increased power.

** Doctor Doom towards the end of ''The ComicBook/SecretWars'', which ended up being his undoing, as he was tricked into thinking about scenarios that would bring back his defeated opponents to fight him, thus making it happen.

** In ''ComicBook/XStatix'', Arnie Lundberg was a Reality Warper who, before his HeelFaceTurn, terrorized his home town in a manner reminiscent of "It's A Good Life". Oddly, he could inflict transformations on others, but couldn't fix his own severely scarred face.

** During the ''Heroic Age'' storyline, ComicBook/TheHood had the ''potential'' to have incredible reality warping powers after the stole four of the Infinity Gems, including the Yellow Reality Gem, in his plan to murder the Avengers out of revenge. However, as Uatu the Watcher noted, while his ability to use the Gems was impressive, he was still limited because he simply thought about using the Gems to enhance his own power rather than really thinking about what he could do with them; he mostly just engaged his enemies in direct combat and never [[RevengeBeforeReason considered just using them to will them out of existence.]]

** The inter-dimensional imps Mr. Mxyzptlk and ComicBook/BatMite (on the ChaoticNeutral side). In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' mini ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'', Mxy makes a serious bid for total omnipotence. In ''ComicBook/EmperorJoker'', Mr. Mxyzptlk accidentally gives most of his power to ''SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker'' (on the extremely ChaoticEvil side!). Earlier, at the end of {{UsefulNotes/the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}} Batman/Hulk crossover, the Joker got reality-warping power from the above Shaper of Worlds (Marvel).

* Manservant Neville in the ''The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse'', the graphic novel conclusion to ''The Middleman''. To the point where [[spoiler: defeating him requires an army consisting of every Middleman who has ever lived.]]

* In ''ComicBook/{{Uber}}'', 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 [[MundaneUtility lighten her hair]]. Siegmund uses his to [[spoiler:melt Hitler's mouth to shut him up and twist a valve in his heart.]]

* [[Series/{{Glee}} Brittany]] develops this ability in ''Fanfic/{{Special}}'', and while learning how to control it turns a pillow into a goldfish and makes Lord Tubbington talk. It fits with her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that her powers, like some of the other kids', leaked through before the story began. Which means that some of the bizarre things she talked about (her cat reading her diary, getting lost in the sewers) most likely actually happened]].

* [[spoiler:Malkuth]] from ''[[Fanfic/RyuugisTheGamesWePlay The Games We Play]]'' has the power to change the rules of reality. In theory, he has limits, but they're broad enough that he might as well be a god. Unfortunately, he's a dick. ''The'' dick, as he [[spoiler:created the Grimm. In fact, most of the Grimm, particularly the biggest and strongest types, can only exist because he bends reality over a barrel.]]

* [[spoiler:[[OmnicidalManiac Midnight]] [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide Sparkle]]]] from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames'' becomes this as a result of absorbing the magic of the [[PortalDoor dimensional portal between the human world and Equestria]]. Unlike the example of [[LaughablyEvil Discord]] below, the movie does not [[PlayedForLaughs make light of these powers]] ''at all''. [[spoiler:The fact that she's [[RealityBleed tearing portals into reality willy-nilly to reach Equestria]] is bad enough, but she doesn't even ''care'' that her powers [[ApocalypseHow are literally destroying the fabric of reality to do so]] [[MadScientist as long as she can understand the magic behind it]]]].

* Several villains in ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' (and, later, the heroes) mixed a little of this into their combat. Although technically they aren't warping reality per se, but rather, manipulating the rules of a virtual reality. The most vivid example occurred near the end of ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'', as Neo [[spoiler: flies as fast as he can through the city to rescue a falling Trinity. The power of his bending causes a massive wake that drags cars and debris behind him.]]

* Sutter Cane from ''Film/InTheMouthOfMadness'' appears to gain this ability once he finishes his [[RewritingReality reality-warping novel]]. For example, he briefly makes the entire world turn blue, temporarily removes a padded cell from time, and [[spoiler: rips his face open like paper to reveal a portal to another world.]] And naturally, [[AGodAmI he declares himself a god.]]

* In both the 1980 and 2002 movies, “Lathe of Heaven”, the protagonist doesn’t know he is a reality warper [[spoiler: for most of the storyline. His doctor does know and manipulates his patient in such a way to benefit himself. This is the doctors undoing because the patient begins to wise up throughout the storyline. Then in the end, does use his own reality warping power to defeat his doctor.]]
* The protagonist of the film ''Film/AbsolutelyAnything'' is given these powers by SufficientlyAdvancedAliens. As the title suggests, he can make anything happen simply by saying what he wants. In an unusual twist, his powers are a LiteralGenie: when he makes his dog able to talk, it doesn't make the dog any smarter, forcing him to then make the dog a rational thinking creature.

** Palmer Eldritch in ''Literature/TheThreeStigmataOfPalmerEldritch''. Maybe. Some readers have argued that he [[DrugsAreBad gives people drugs]] that [[LotusEaterMachine let them experience all sorts of bizarre things]] [[spoiler: while, incidentally, [[TheVirus causing them to gain Palmer's physical characteristics and think more like him]].]]

* Creator/StephenKing

* ''The Dancers at the End of Time'' by Creator/MichaelMoorcock shows Earth 1 million years in the future, where mankind is a whole civilization of reality warpers… well, a decadent civilization, their (our) numbers being reduced to a few dozens, and the fact that they (we) have used and abused their reality bending powers for 1 million years means that [[NoConservationOfEnergy almost all the energy of the universe has been used up and the heat death of the universe is imminent]] [[spoiler: until one of them discovers that, being part of a multiverse, the real amount of usable energy is endless: tapping a tiny bit of energy in a infinity of universes is harmless and allows the dancers to continue their dance, forever, and ever, and ever, and ever...]]
* Creator/DanAbnett

** Coin the Sourcerer, in ''Discworld/{{Sourcery}}''. Whereas normal Discworld magic requires hours of research, lots of preparation and, due to [[MagicAIsMagicA innate physical laws]], ''exactly as much effort as doing things normally'', a sourcerer (so named because he is a living source of boundless magical energy) can alter the world with a snap of his fingers. The bad news is that once the wizards get their hands on this power, they start recreating the Mage Wars, which means {{Innocent Bystander}}s run the risk of being Reality Warped into a non-viable form. The ''really'' bad news is that all this Reality Warping weakens the fabric of said reality, allowing the [[EldritchAbomination Things From The Dungeon Dimensions]] in. The good news comes at the end: [[spoiler:Coin realizes the Discworld is too small for him and in doing so reveals why the Discworld never keeps sourcerers for long--they make their own realities to live in.]]

* ''Master of Space and Time'' by Creator/RudyRucker has a scientist invent a machine that makes him... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well, I'll let you guess]].

* Various characters in Greg Egan's fairly hard sci-fi novel ''Literature/{{Quarantine}}'' gain the ability to arbitrarily collapse quantum wavefunctions, as long as no normals are watching. This ranges from the trivial (choosing the spin of an ion in a Stern-Gerlach experiment) through to the fairly useful (unlocking doors) to the [[spoiler: disastrous (everyone warping reality uncontrollably at the same time)]]

* Literature/{{Nightside}}

* [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland The Cheshire Cat]]. He has powers that other residents in Wonderland do not, like the ability to disappear and reappear at will, turn invisible (or turn parts of himself invisible), disassemble and reassemble himself at will, and levitate. He seems to only be able to affect himself, however.

* [[spoiler:David Rain]] from ''[[Literature/{{Dragons}} The Last Dragon Chronicles]]'' [[spoiler:Although he gets some help from several dragon companions along the way.]]

* In ''Literature/TheReckonersTrilogy'': This is [[spoiler: the actual power of Firefight, aka Megan.]] Things are pulled into the world from a parallel reality where it was the case. However, the effect has a range increment and needs to be focused on or they go back, and the things pulled are often "shadows" that lack substance [[spoiler: hence why David thought she was an illusionist]].

* In ''[[Literature/TheMarvelousParacosmOfFitzFaradayAndTheShapersOfTheId "The Marvelous Paracosm of Fitz Faraday and the Shapers of the Id"]] '', the protagonist discovers a way of bringing his thoughts into reality by using a device known as the cognitive resonator. The device was invented by the town quack and easily backfires on Fitz and his friends as they unleash all manner of chaos.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}''

** In the Web-Animation [[WebAnimation/DeathComesToTime Death comes to Time]] it is claimed Time Lords are this but hold back their power as using it damages the Universe. However this is mainly considered non-canon [[spoiler:as when the Doctor uses the power to kill another Time Lord he kills himself.]]

** "Literature/ItsAGoodLife"

** Jesse, the AntiChrist, made childish stories come true by merely believing them.

* In ''Series/{{Lost}}'', [[spoiler:Jacob]] is seemingly an example of this, though his powers do apparently have certain limitations. He can [[spoiler:grant immortality, heal people, and prevent people from being able to kill themselves, all just by touching them. He can also see into peoples' lives and draw them to the Island at will. And his powers seem to remain active even after his own death. He can't bring people back from the dead, though. And he prefers not to interfere too much with people in the first place. After bringing them to the Island, he takes a hands-off approach instead of helping them.]]
* In the novelization of the 1998 ''Series/{{Merlin|1998}}'' series, it is explained that fairy magic relies on [[MasterOfIllusion illusion]], and humans cannot use such magic. However, {{Half Human Hybrid}}s can combine fairy illusion with human feeling, causing the illusions to come to life in reality, giving them this power.

*** With the right Charms and under the right circumstances Abyssals can use parts of the Solar Charmset, although [[BlessedWithSuck the consequenences of doing so are extremely unpleasant for the Abyssal.]], and a Solar can use parts of the Abyssal Charmset without repercussions. An Abyssal ''might'' be able to use those Solar Charms and artifacts, but definitely won't enjoy it. An Inferal most definiteley can't because they can't use any part of Solar or Abyssal Charmsets, or Sidereal Martial Arts (which both Solars and Abyssals can learn).

** Terumi counts as one too [[spoiler:since he '''is''' one of the Sankishin, the Susanoo. When he reclaims his body at the end of the series, the true power of the Susanoo is unleashed.]]

** The Lutece twins [[spoiler: are also Reality Warpers, since they can teleport to any timeline or dimension they want to, being able to undo bad things that happened in the past, or prevent them from happening in the future, like Elizabeth. In addition to those powers, they are also essentially immortal and can't be damaged, being frozen in time and reality. That makes them incredibly powerful.]]

** ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'' introduces Sagume Kishin, who has a PowerIncontinence version of this born out of her being a CosmicPlaything: if she talks about a particular situation or event, reality itself will oppose her words through any means possible in order to ensure that she's always percieved as a swindler and liar.

** And it's implied she can do far, ''far'' worse [[spoiler: if she wasn't [[StalkerWithACrush distracted by Becket]].]] Snake Fist himself calls her the "mother of the apocalypse" and is convinced that if Becket can't contain Alma, "everybody dies."
** A pretty blatant example of reality warping in action takes place in Wade Elementary, when [[spoiler: Alma separates Becket from Stokes. Stokes and Becket move into a room together, they get hit by a hallucination, and WHAM! Becket is in a ''completely different room'' on the opposite side of the school, and there's ''no'' door where Stokes was standing.]] Which makes you start wondering [[ParanoiaFuel just how many doors you actually pass through that lead where they're supposed to go....]]

* Infinite from ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' appears to do this with a mysterious gemstone embedded in his chest [[spoiler: that first appeared in ''VideoGame/SonicMania''.]] However, it's ultimately subverted, as [[spoiler: the Phantom Ruby's true power is to [[YourMindMakesItReal cast illusions that seem real to those who interact with them]].]]

* The villain Story Teller from the crossover game, ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVSAceAttorney'', can rewrite reality with his magical book. [[spoiler: Or, at least, that's what he wants people to think.]]
* While the "reality warping" is probably less literal, it is how a character in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' [[spoiler: described the corpse of a Reaper he was standing in at the time.]]

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''

** Xigbar from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' is given control over the power of "Space". During his boss fight he frequently teleports, changes the layout of the stage, and redirects the projectiles fired from his "arrowguns" at the player. He also seems to use his spacial manipulation to adhere himself to an non-existent surface, giving him the appearance of walking on an invisible ceiling.

* In ''VideoGame/AlanWake'', [[spoiler: any artist who creates works in and around Cauldron Lake can potentially do this. This includes Alan Wake himself, Thomas Zane, and it is implied that the Anderson brothers were capable of it as well.]]

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

** The [[OurDwarvesAreDifferent Dwemer]] were (in)famous for doing this. Essentially, they used a form of MagicMusic to alter the tonal architecture of the "Earthbones", essentially the laws of nature and physics which are required for the world to function. One of their most famous uses for this ability was the RagnarokProofing of their creations, ensuring that they would last in working order for eons. Other uses included constructing magical HumongousMecha, a WeatherControlMachine, and a machine capable of safely reading an [[TomeOfEldritchLore Elder Scroll]] while bypassing the usual nasty side effects. When the Dwemer discovered the still-beating [[CosmicKeystone Heart of Lorkhan]], the "[[GodIsDead dead]]" creator god, they attempted to tap into its power in hopes of creating a new god - Anumidium (or "Walk-Brass"). They intended to use it to [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence transcend mortality]], but something went awry, causing [[RiddleForTheAges the entire Dwemer race to disappear from all known planes of existence in a single instant]].

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'' ends with reality warping on an epic scale. The activation of the aformentioned Dwemer-crafted Numidium permanently alters the entire Iliac Bay region. Later games reveal that this event, known as the "Warp in the West", caused [[MultipleEndings multiple versions]] of history to all occur ''[[MergingTheBranches simultaneously]]''. In fact, the events of ''Daggerfall'' broke Nirn's fragile reality so thoroughly that the Akatosh, the God of Time himself, had to step in and do a reality-warping fix of his own.

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'': The FinalBoss gains this power by absorbing the power of the [[MacGuffin Dream Stone]]. [[spoiler:Bowser then grows twice his size, glowing like he grabbed a Starman. He creates minions from nothing, summons meat from nothing to heal himself, and even creates gunships to attack you]].

* The Traveller in VideoGame/{{Destiny}}. It's certainly not evil, but the amount of power it can devote to terraforming cements it as this. It's capable of bringing atmosphere and rain to Mars, turning Venus into a habitable jungle and somehow create a race of dragons to inhabit it, terraforming the Jovians, and making ''Mercury'', [[DeathWorld a tiny, atmosphere-devoid ball of rock right next to the Sun with days half as long as its years]], into a paradisical garden world. It's hard to list the number of ways in which this all fails to make sense according to our present understanding of physics, chemistry, and biology.

* VideoGame/{{Undertale}}: The final bosses of all of the game's endings are this to some extent:
** Neutral: [[spoiler:Omega/Photoshop Flowey, armed with 6 human souls, is unquestionably a reality warper. Most notably, he is able to literally [[InterfaceScrew steal your control over the game]] from you, rendering you unable to SAVE or LOAD while gaining those abilities himself. The only reason he is beaten is because the souls rebel against him.]]
** Pacifist: [[spoiler:Asriel Dreemurr, the true form of Flowey, is even more powerful and he wants to use this power to rewrite history to keep the player from getting the {{Golden ending}}.]]
** Genocide: [[spoiler: Sans will not just warp reality, he will shatter all the rules of reality and cut you to pieces with the shrapnel. This is especially impressive because, unlike the previous two, he does '''not''' have any human souls - he just seems to be [[HeKnowsAboutTimedHits savvy enough about the game mechanics]] to InterfaceScrew you to death - [[ThatOneBoss and he is the hardest boss in the game]] despite the fact that you battle him at your most powerful.]]
** And then there's [[spoiler:[[ArcWords "Determination"]], a human property that allows its users to accomplish impossible feats through sheer force of will (most notably to SAVE and to LOAD). Determination is basically reality bending by any other name.]]
** But ultimately, the most powerful RealityWarper in the game is... [[spoiler:'''you''', the player, "[[TheButcher The Anomaly]]" as Sans refers to you. Ultimately, it is ''you'' who have total control over the player character, it's ''you'' who ultimately decides the fates of every character in the game, and it's ''your'' determination to keep playing the game that allows the playable character to persist. If you complete the Genocide ending, you are kind of [[HijackedByGanon hijacked by]] The First Child, who turns your own Determination against you to take control away from you... but even then, you have the ability to alter the game's files, which even The First Child can do nothing about.]]

* In the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} there are a lot of ways to actually be a RealityWarper.

*** If someone is connected with [[AkashicRecords Akasha, the Root Of Creation]] through some unexplained means, they'll gain True Magic, an art that allows one to manipulate different domains of reality. It's divided into 5 domains, but only the First Magic ([[ThePowerOfCreation the ability to deny]] [[PowerOfTheVoid nothingness]]), the Second Magic ([[SpaceMaster the ability to manipulate]] {{Alternate Universe}}s), the Third Magic ([[SoulPower the ability to materialize and manipulate souls]]) and the Fifth Magic (seemingly to govern TimeTravel), has been obtained by a human so far. The user of the Second Magic, Zelretch, was able to defeat Crimson Moon by dropping it to an alternate world where the moon fell on it, although this was only possible because he took it by surprise.

** Featherine takes it even further. When fighting Lambdadelta (A reality warper in her own right.) she more-or-less decrees that the fight was over and Lambdadelta was dead. And thus, the fight ended.

* In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', [[spoiler:Kyousuke has total control over the world that he created. Since he's trying to pretend to Riki and Rin that this is the real world, he mostly only uses the powers for little things, but the effect of his influence is still apparent enough that at certain points Riki begins to seriously wonder exactly how powerful he is.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Minus}}'', a little girl with a very powerful imagination, is close to the 'ridiculously overpowered' end of the scale and definitely hits "really scaring in how she uses her powers sometimes". The comic is frightening because she has the thought patterns of a typical kid, and is surrounded by people who don't know that omnipotent ≠ the wisdom to use it responsibly. Sometimes she does realize how her actions hurt others and fixes then like when she accidentally killed a woman with a magic act and brought her back. However, plenty of other times she ends up ending/drastically altering the lives of people she crosses [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant without thinking of it]], like a man that yelled at her for popping his balloon whom she ''turned into a balloon and popped''. She's also very open to the suggestions of others, and [[spoiler:the strip actually ends when she takes a suggestion to bring back every living thing ever back to life, which wipes out all life on Earth due to the lack of space.]]

** After the comic ended, the author showed a series of gag/April Fools strips featuring an "evil Minus" who had the same power but was fearfully vindictive. The first example was possibly the most disturbing, where [[spoiler: after a friend of hers accidentally steps on and ruins her sidewalk chalk painting (and apologizes when it's brought to her attention), Minus turns the friend into a chalk drawing and ''rubs out her face,'' complete with chalk blood.]] * Shudder*
* It's not overtly treated as an example of this trope, but in ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'' Red Mage has been shown to alter reality by changing his character sheet. One time, he survived a fall from a great height by "forgetting" to record the damage he was supposed to have taken, and another time he survived having his skeleton removed because he judged it to be "wholly vestigial". On the sidelines, Black Belt once got himself so lost that he warped the fabric of space and accidentally created a clone of himself, while Thief [[spoiler:stole his class change from the future.]]

* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''

** Coyote ([[TricksterArchetype yes, that Coyote]]) is able to do this at will. He can stretch and modify his own body however he pleases, pull the moon from the sky and reduce it to pokeable size, and the trees of the forest contort to fit the lines of his body in many scenes.

** And now [[spoiler: the [[KnifeNut stab-happy]], {{omnicidal|Maniac}} [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Jack]] [[FromNobodyToNightmare Noir]] has the exact same power. Whoops.]]
*** And then [[spoiler: Jade herself, after merging with her dreamself and Bec-prototyped sprite, and PM, after prototyping herself with WQ's ring.]]

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''.

* A major part of ''Webcomic/ABeginnersGuideToTheEndOfTheUniverse'' is that, since the beginning, the protagonist is able to spend CREATIVITY points (gained usually from killing enemies) to [[ThePowerOfCreation create any object (or creature) he wants]], but also change objects, combine them together or imbue them with specific abilities. The more complicated an object is, the more CREATIVITY it costs though. [[spoiler:Much later on, a fluid generated by the [[SinisterGeometry Stone Icosahedron]] grants the same abilities to anyone who drinks it.]] By the end of the comic, [[spoiler:the protagonist unlocks his full powers, thus gaining infinite CREATIVITY, allowing him to pull off truly spectacular stunts such as creating a gas giant solely to have its gravitational well divert a projectile off its course.]]

* ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest''

* In Romantically Apocalyptic, Zee Captain is depicted as both "The Luckiest Person in the World" and a "Space Wizard". And e.g. it seems that [[spoiler:she was able to DRINK a black hole with a straw, or kill people by cake-tossing.]]
** Snippy, on his side, [[spoiler:gets infected by the Biomatrix and by then, acquires the ability to rewrite the whole timeline of the earth the way he wants, and cancel every change if things turn bad the way he organized them. Which he does very often, according to the bonus entries.]]

* ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses''

** In the Awesomeverse more generally there is [[spoiler: [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee The Plot Hole]] a phenomenally powerful NegativeSpaceWedgie which is the cause of all the plot holes and inconsistencies in their reality was a pure force of nature …until Ma-Ti merged with it and used it's power as vengeance against WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic. Eventually Ma-Ti was convinced to give up his vengeance quest and leave, but this destabilized it until the Critic willingly merged with it.]] Critic himself still has PlotHole powers on return, but they're called "ruining".

As a general rule, any animated show that makes liberal use of CartoonPhysics for comedic effect will probably have several or more characters who would qualify as Reality Warpers by the definition of the trope.

* In "WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball" , Richard Watterson's getting and keeping a job causes the entire fabric of reality to bend and warp.
** [[spoiler: [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Rob]]]] becomes one in [[spoiler: "The Disaster" after he obtains a remote capable of controlling reality. He uses these powers to get back at Gumball by completely ruining his life.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''

* The Great Gazoo from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' can pretty much do anything he wants; a TropeNamer for [[GreatGazoo similar beings]], he was able to create matter out of nothing, including machines as advanced as androids, make them disappear, travel through time (and take others with him), predict the near future, transport anyone and anything, and so on. The truly frightening thing is, he claimed that, due to being banished by his kin, ''all but his simplest powers were taken from him.'' Now just let that sink in.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E7TreehouseOfHorrorII Treehouse of Horror II]]" featured a parody of Twilight Zone's "It's A Good Life", titled "It's a Bart Life". Bart is all-powerful and everyone must bend to his every whim or suffer a FateWorseThanDeath. The USA is actually "Bonerland" due to his history exam (although that's more out of fear of reprisal than actually altering history.) Homer gets a nice monologue when he tries to KO Bart with a chair and remembers Bart is also a mind reader.

* Hexadecimal in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' temporarily gains this power when she infects the system paint proram. She uses it to throw Mainframe into total chaos by disabling communications, melting all transport devices (including the bike Bob just bought), and changing the city's appearance beyond recognition. She even melts [[DoAnyThingRobot Glitch]], shrinks Frisket, traps Enzo in a bunch of vidwindows, and cut+ pastes Phong Megabyte into Mainframes sky. Bob manages to fix all of this by getting Mike the TV to distract Hex while Bob finds the [[ResetButton Undo Command]] on the system paint program.

** This is mostly because the show operates with ''very'' prominent CartoonPhysics, Ed just happens to be the one who uses them the most (with the implication that he can do these things so easily because [[AchievementsInIgnorance he doesn't understand he isn't supposed to be able to]]) and is also one of the people most involved in the physical side of the show's comedy.
** All three of the boys turn into this during the episode where CartoonPhysics is taken to its logical conclusion. Among other things, they are able to seamlessly shift spacial dimensions, defy spacial perspective, and can even directly alter the art and rendering of the show (they actually removed Jimmy's outline like it was loose threading).

** Although it was originally only PlayedForLaughs, Pinkie Pie has become a borderline example now that she's using CartoonPhysics to actually further the plot. So far she's [[TheCatCameBack relentlessly and impossibly chased]] more than a few characters, passed through solid walls via OffScreenTeleportation, pulled weapons out of HammerSpace during fights, slowed her descent into water in order to avoid making a splash, walked on air, ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall obliterated the fourth wall]]'', possesses a sixth sense that warns her of impending events, and done any number of acts [[BeyondTheImpossible that are supposed to be impossible for earth ponies]], and ''even unicorns,'' whose magic obeys ''some'' rules. Her friends notice, and on more than a few occasions, are ''shocked out of their minds''. A common refrain her friends often say is "Pinkie Pie's just being ''Pinkie Pie''." They don't want to break their brains figuring out exactly how/why Pinkie Sense or her OffscreenTeleportation works (as [[TheSmartGal Twilight]] tried, and failed to in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen "Feeling Pinkie Keen"]]).

** [[SorcerousOverlord King Sombra]] magically converts an entire kingdom into a {{Mordor}}, he makes it completely vanish for over a millennium, and [[spoiler:his EvilTowerOfOminousness shows that he can also make {{Pocket Dimension}}s.]]

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames'' gives us probably the franchise's most-destructive example yet: [[spoiler:Midnight Sparkle [[note]]The SuperpoweredEvilSide of Twilight's Human counterpart.[[/note]], who can (and does) spam ThinkingUpPortals [[note]]Courtesy of Twilight accidentally stealing the [[PortalDoor Crystal Mirror]]'s magic prior to becoming Midnight.[[/note]] all over the place (thus risking a RealityBleed unless she's stopped).]]

** Trina (Corey's older biological sister) is a mild case, whenever she writes lyrics-worthy entries in her journal, her emotions manifest around her, and strange phenomenom happens depending on the emotion.

*** Nick Mallory is able to will away chicken pox as "Nick Mallory dosen't do spots", is able to keep smelling clean as he "Does not do stink", and he once used his coolness to 'literally cool' the flames that Trina's diary mode created, and he was also able to freeze Trina alive.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has Bill Cipher, especially when [[spoiler:he opens a rift between his Nightmare Realm and the regular world, gaining a physical form in the process.]]

** One episode had Stumpy and Quack Quack become this by using [[MediumAwareness animation software to make their own episode of the show.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/XMen'', Kevin/Proteus and his RealityWarper powers had to be ''seriously'' toned down to fit in the kinda LighterAndSofter series... but the powers he did get to keep were pretty frightening. i.e., he was able to use them and subject ''Wolverine'' (of all people) to a terrifying mix of BodyHorror and MindRape.

** Comicbook/TheSentry started out as a FlyingBrick with various other ill-defined powers, but it seems the truth is he has control over matter itself. He killed the Molecule Man in about two seconds and can resurrect himself even after being disintegrated on a molecular level. It's said that if he went completely batshit insane, the Scarlet Witch (ComicBook/HouseOfM and {{Decimation}}) would be nothing by comparison. Since when controlled by the Void he levelled Asgard in a matter of moments just through his flying brick powers, this is worrying. After going through a spectacular TraumaCongaLine, he has now chosen to be dead. However, for the Sentry in particular, DeathIsCheap.\\

*** The main universe Loki is strongly hinted to be a reality warper as well, but it's not clear if he is aware that he is. While he is a god, the Asgardians (Odin aside) are not generally shown to be omnipotent, most have very little in the way of powers at all aside from vast strength and longevity. Loki's gives out powers to mortals like candy, he's altered his own past and the pasts of others by basically creating a retcon in the story, and in the process actually created the goddess Hela (Leah) from nothing, and now he has begun warping reality up to and including creating people subconsciously. It has been [[WordOfGod confirmed by Kieron Gillen]] that he has been laying the groundwork for Loki to be a powerful reality warper, and in fact that the entire plot of ComicBook/YoungAvengers was Loki's subconscious manipulating events. [[http://kierongillen.tumblr.com/post/69162756902/writer-notes-young-avengers-13 "In short: Loki’s subconsciousness creates a plan to put Loki in a position where he has to confess or lose. This was all Loki’s plan."]]

*** This includes any alternate universe counterparts, such as the Wishing Cube (made from six planes of forever glass) from the Great Society's Universe

** In one of the Eighth Doctor Adventures novels, the Doctor demonstrates a mild form of this. Since all things are mostly empty space, [[ArtisticLicensePhysics supposedly]], there's a probability two items will pass through each other. The Doctor spends several hours throwing a ball at the wall, and eventually "collapses the wave function" to make the ball finally go through the wall... just for the cheap thrill of hitting [[ButtMonkey Fitz]] in the head with a ball through a wall. Oddly, he never tries this under plot-relevant circumstances. He also once [[GoodWithNumbers teleported with math]]. Or something. He got teleported right back to his original location eventually, though.

*** With the right Charms and under the right circumstances Abyssals can use parts of the Solar Charmset, although [[BlessedWithSuck the consequenences of doing so are extremely unpleasent for the Abyssal.]], and a Solar can use parts of the Abyssal Charmset without repercussions. An Abyssal ''might'' be able to use those Solar Charms and artifacts, but definitely won't enjoy it. An Inferal most definiteley can't because they can't use any part of Solar or Abyssal Charmsets, or Sidereal Martial Arts (which both Solars and Abyssals can learn).

* Freddy Krueger in the ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' series of films possesses this power. His control over dreams has basically no limit, so depending on the situation he could morph into anything, produce new abilities from nowhere, or change the whole environment at will. Initially, he can only warp reality in the [[DreamLand dream world]], but as the series continues and his powers continue to grow, they begin to extend more and more into reality as well.

When adding examples, please remember that this trope is ''extremely'' common (since even magic in general is technically this trope) so please add only {{egregious}} examples, and works that elaborate upon this trope InUniverse or have this trope as a {{Plot Device}}. After all, RealityWarpingIsNotAToy.

** The God-Machine (same setting, different 'line') is essentially this power looped into itself and rendered self-sustaining. Reality isn't actually stable in the first place, it's just a steady-state produced by the warping that the God-Machine does and the lack of any conscious controller to shift its settings.

** One episode dealt with a Wizard who had magic that seemed to rival [[Film/{{Aladdin}} TheGenie]] and [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] though ultimately he was defeated by Raven's magic. Though what she exactly did, and why she waited until the end of the episode to do so, is never explained.

* In ''Webcomic/EnsignSueMustDie'', Sue Prime rewrites the universe to be her own slash fic.

** Similarly, most miraculous [=PCs=] in spinoff game ''TabletopGame/ChuubosMarvelousWishGrantingEngine''.
