History Main / RealityWarper

* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Fumikage Tokoyami doesn't have a Quirk. Instead, he's bonded to a fifth-dimensional genie named Tskymi, who can do almost anything with a command. Tskymi tends to operate on ToonPhysics most of the time, pulling an enormous magnifying glass out of {{Hammerspace}} and turning into a cannon with functioning arms to load and light himself.

* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', this is [[spoiler: Chthon's]] main power, taking WindsOfDestinyChange to its ultimate conclusion. Doing so, however, damages the structural integrity of reality - convenient for an entity that wants to destroy the universe and dissolve it back into primordial chaos.
** Wanda Maximoff, thanks to the above, has this as her mutant power - and her magic is inclined towards probability manipulation too. Her blessing on Harry (in short: he'll always have someone to back him up) makes him a MagneticHero and is strong enough to be detected by Odin.
** Doctor Strange is repeatedly stated to be someone who long ago decided that the Laws of Reality were for other people, performing feats that shouldn't really be possible; however, he can't do ''exactly'' what he wants and admits that he would be tempted by the power offered by [[spoiler: Chthon]], to do whatever he wished to reality, suggesting that it's fairly limited.
** [[spoiler: The Phoenix,]] along with the rest of the Endless, with one being [[spoiler: (Harry)]] that she possesses being described as not so much standing up as arranging the universe around them so that they were standing up, as well as being described as having 'complete control over the powers of life and death'.
** [[spoiler: Harry]] during the finale [[spoiler: when Chthon possesses him and just after,]] as [[spoiler: Strange]] arranged matters so that he would be at the heart of reality when it was in an especially malleable state, allowing him to set things right. However, there are still cracks and flaws, suggesting that the repair job wasn't perfect.

** Anything the Master (no, not that one) writes in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E2TheMindRobber "The Mind Robber"]] becomes true. In the fifth episode of the serial, the Doctor is wired into the computer, giving him the same powers.

*** The "Slash Emperor" owned by Ado Edem, during the times of ''Literature/AngelNotes''. He can produce a [[{{BFS}} titanic sword]] that can impose the concept of destruction upon anything, allowing it to cut through realities like a hot knife through a butter. So far, it is the most powerful ability to date in the franchise, being able to one-shot Ultimate Ones.

*** [[spoiler:Fake]] Assassin also possesses a reality-warping attack, Tsubame Gaeshi. The attack manipulates alternate universes to allow Assassin to simultaneously attack his target from three different directions. Interestingly, this is neither magical or divine but simply [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower the result of endlessly training and refining his swordsmanship]]. But what makes this truly outstanding is that it is ''impossible'' for magecraft to accomplish the same feat. He is literally such a great swordsman that he denies reality more than mages do. Only the Second True Magic could accomplish something like what he did, and only one person exists who can use that at all.

** Roxy as the [[LoveableRogue Rogue]] of [[PowerOfTheVoid Void]] can steal the concept of nothingness itself from an object, meaning she can conjure it out of thin air if she understands it well enough. Roxy is pretty shocked when she finds out how powerful she really is.

* Anime/{{Doraemon}}, with his gadgets, can warp reality to it's full extent. Check out the "what if" phone booth. It's able to create a whole new world based on the wish.

** 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".

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is an [[TheOmnipotent omnipotent being]] capable of bending reality the way she wants it to be, although [[IAmWho she is not aware of this]]. Most of the other main characters are secretly supernatural creations of hers sent on missions to keep her from finding out about her powers, because who knows what she will do, and to keep her from getting too bored and causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt by subconsciously wishing it were different.

* Gemini from ''Podcast/{{Sequinox}}'' has the power to clap the girls into other dimensions, and uses this power to constantly keep them off-balance.

* The Genie in ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' has '''''[[LargeHam PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS]]''''' that are certainly far beyond that of any human sorcerer, but he does explicitly state three limitations to them. He cannot kill (directly), make someone fall in love, or bring the dead back to life. It's not quite clear if these are simply beyond the Genie's powers or if they are within his capability but are the only wishes he can refuse to grant; when telling Aladdin about these limitations he says that bringing the dead back to life "[[CameBackWrong is not a pretty picture]], I don't like doing it!", which suggests the latter. The killing thing seems to be a direct impossibility, but as Genie!Jafar states in ''Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'', "[[FateWorseThanDeath You'd be surprised what you can live through.]]" He also seems to be unable to make people fall in love. He was completely surprised when it appeared that he had granted Jafar's wish to make Jasmine love him. Once freed he is just a sorcerer who has the ability to break the fourth wall. However, he has shown the ability to predict the future and "read" reality like a book. He has the ability to read the script of the current episode as well as the ability to consult "the big book of things we're not supposed to know" in order to find out where people are and what they are doing.

* In ''VisualNovel/DiesIrae'' pretty much all of the characters are Reality Warpers to some extent. This exists in the form of the Third Degree of Die Ewigkeit, Beri'ah, which allows the user to manifest their desires upon the surrounding world or upon themselves by temporarily turning those desires into a natural law. This can be manifest in all kinds of ways, to those who want to keep their everyday life to manifest the ability to stop time, or someone who does not want to be touched to always be faster than anyone else. And to one-up all that, there is the Fourth Degree, Atziluth, which will turn that desire into a true permanent natural law on a [[MultiversalConqueror multiversal scale]], allowing a person to become a true god with absolute dominion over all of creation. This also extends to the larger ''Franchise/ShinzaBanshoSeries'' as a whole as one of the TheVerse's core plot devices, the Throne, is what makes all of this possible.

** Quite a few of the {{Sufficiently Advanced Alien}}s, such as the Celestial Toymaker in the old series story of the same name, and "the psychic girl with the crayons" (to quote a SketchComedy parody) in the new series episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E11FearHer "Fear Her"]].
** Much of the superscience of the Time Lords is based on the concept of "block transfer computations," a form of advanced mathematics that can warp reality like no-one's business (in "Logopolis" an organization of mathematicians has been holding back the heat death of the universe for ''millennia''). It's implied that this involves working out the Schrödinger Equation of the object you want to create and then meditating '''really hard''' on it. The Carrionites in "The Shakespeare Code" can do similar tricks with language (something the ExpandedUniverse refers to as "quantum linguistics"). All of these powers, while capable of nearly anything, require extensive time and calculation to pull off correctly.
** In one of the Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures 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.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays "The Parting of the Ways"]], Rose temporarily ''acquires'' this ability, at the ultimate cost of the Doctor losing another regeneration by absorbing the power's source, the "Time Vortex", from Rose. The implication is that if Rose held on to it for too long, it would kill her. The ensuing DeusExMachina ''does'' make you wonder why the Doctor never used the trick before; presumably, the effects of swallowing the Time Vortex are too unpredictable to depend on it, plus the aforementioned cost of one's life. Also, he later references it, saying "No one's ever meant to have that power. If a Time Lord did that he'd become a god -- a vengeful god.", so it's probable that he doesn't dare risk it. Especially after his time as [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars the Time Lord Victorious]].

** Anything the Master (no, not that one) writes in "The Mind Robber" becomes true. In the fifth episode of the serial, the Doctor is wired into the computer, giving him the same powers.

** 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]].
* The ''Franchise/StarTrek'' universe also has a few, such as Q, the Organians, The Douwd, Trelane, Charlie X, and Wesley Crusher. A trip through the galactic barrier can give you such abilities and the power to pass them on, but WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity...
** [[ExpandedUniverse Depending on]] [[Creator/PeterDavid who you ask,]] Trelane ''was'' a Q.
** Some novels also claim that the Galactic Barrier was either created or influenced by the Q (in one trilogy, it was created by the Q Continuum to keep a BigBad out; in the book where Trelane was a Q, our "beloved" Q was nearly destroyed and spent millennia in the Barrier, causing anyone who passed to go insane and gain a portion of his power - ''he'' is what happened to Kirk's old pal Gary Mitchell in the second pilot of the original series).
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' episodes
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E73ItsAGoodLife It's a Good Life]]"
** "The Mind and the Matter". A man learns how to control reality by reading a book.

** Maldis, the villain of "That Old Black Magic" and "Picture If You Will," used a mixture of this and [[MasterOfIllusion illusionism]]: sometimes crafting whole worlds for his minions to wander, sometimes taunting them with hallucinations and visions. And he even has AWizardDidIt quote to explain himself to Crichton:
-->[[GratuitousIambicPentameter The words I need elude translation's grasp./Suffice to say I simply wished you here.]]

* ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' has a character named Billie Jenkins who has the power of thought projection. She managed to bring plants to life, turn her parents into assassins, and time travel. Several other characters also had Reality Warping as part of their power sets, like Wyatt, the [[WellIntentionedExtremist Avatars]], and the [[TheMenInBlack Cleaners]].

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': Sufficiently powerful telepaths can create an illusion of reality, although this does not extend to altering reality itself.
** While not actually warping reality, a tiny fraction of telepaths have telekinetic ability, and the [[MutantDraftBoard Psi Corps]] conducted experiments on them to increase said ability. [[spoiler:The [[MutantDraftBoard Psi Corps]] are amateurs next to the [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Vorlons]], though, who probably planted telepathic traits in the human gene pool in the first place. They "changed" Lyta Alexander, who started as a registered telepath of modest ability, to make her into a psychic doomsday weapon. When Garibaldi warned her that they shouldn't discuss her abilities in front of a security camera, she casually asked "what camera?" and caused it to short out.]]
** There was also Jason Ironheart, the mostly-successful attempt at creating a super-telekinetic. Unfortunately, his powers quickly got out of control as they kept exponentially increasing, eventually turning him into an {{Energy Being|s}}. He killed the scientist who created him in order to ensure the process couldn't be repeated.
** The [[MagicFromTechnology techno-mages]] appear to have this ability, but it is, in fact, highly advanced technology [[spoiler:created by the Shadows]] mixed with illusion and theatrics.
* 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, [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Human Hybrids]] can combine fairy illusion with human feeling, causing the illusions to come to life in reality, giving them this power.
* In an episode of ''Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack'', Alex temporarily gets the uncontrollable power to make her daydreams reality, leading to several awkward situations where she's nearly caught by Vince and Dave.
* Art Kanji-Daemon of ''My Little Town''.
* In ''Series/{{Misfits}}'', [[spoiler: Nathan]] eventually buys the power reality warping from Seth. Because he only uses it to create or alter small objects, it's either a very limited case or [[spoiler: Nathan]] simply hasn't realized its potential- which isn't entirely out of character for him.
** Peter also has the ability to control future events by drawing them.
* In the V-World in ''Series/{{Caprica}}'', the Virtual Ghosts (Zoe and Tamara) can alter the entire environment at will if they concentrate their power. At one point they turn all of New Cap City into a mountain kingdom.
* Several Troubled characters on ''Series/{{Haven}}'' have this ability, the catch being that they usually have PowerIncontinence. One character could alter the real world through her drawings. Anything that happens to the drawings happens to the person/object drawn (i.e. if you tear the drawing in half the person gets torn in half). Another was able to create an AlternateUniverse through wishes, and accidentally created a world where the Troubles never existed by wishing for it.
* Adam Conover of ''Series/AdamRuinsEverything''. Since it's his show, he can manipulate the environment in a number of ways, with time travel, teleportation, and MediumBlending being the most common. "Adam Ruins Sex" reveals that these powers can be temporarily stolen by anyone who knows more about the current topic of conversation than Adam does.
* ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'': One of Ultraman's weirdest enemies Bullton has this power. Essentially a giant semi-sentient meteor, Bullton turns its surroundings into an EldritchLocation by slipping into the Fourth Dimension with results that range from just plain weird to potentially catastrophic.
** Bullton was later homaged in ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'' with Priz-Ma, a living ''iceberg'' that absorbs matter and manipulates light for an arsenal of deranged abilities that leave Ultraman Jack's and the viewer's heads spinning.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* The title character from ''{{ComicBook/Enigma}}''.
* The Franchise/MarvelUniverse has numerous examples:
** [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Franklin Richards]] on the side of good. His powers are so great, he was able to create the ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn'' universe. Unfortunately for the heroes but fortunately for any sense of drama in the stories, [[GooGooGodlike he's too young to understand how powerful he is.]]
** [[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 ComicBook/{{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!"]]
** [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], who spends some time hanging out and bonding with Franklin, is a psychic so powerful that he falls into this category, occasionally rewriting reality in his sleep and stopping time by accident. After a certain point, he evolves beyond the need to do things like eat, sleep or even breathe, and treats the multiverse as his personal stepladder, to be ambled up and down at will. And that was ''before'' his powers were fixed. After, he comfortably destroyed an evil alternate version of Jean Grey, reunited a woman who'd split herself across thousands of realities, easily went toe to toe with someone who was at least a planet buster, if not a reality buster, then transformed himself to energy and diffused himself into every living thing on Earth.
** 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?"
** David Haller aka Legion, son of Charles Xavier, which is actually only one of his ComboPlatterPowers, but each comes with him having a new/different alternate personality.
** On the "insane, or is he?" side, you have ComicBook/{{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.
** On the side of whoever's holding them, the Cosmic Cubes. Except for the ones that have evolved into sentient beings, which they invariably do if they last long enough.
** The Beyonder is an unfathomably powerful reality warper, just short of Omnipotence. However he was [[StoryBreakerPower waaay too powerful]] for his own good. Although he did not know how to defecate until Franchise/SpiderMan patiently showed him how. Way to take one for the team, Spidey. Beyonder was later revealed to have formed from a not-quite-complete Cosmic Cube.
** ComicBook/DoctorDoom towards the end of ''The ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|1984}}'', 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.
** The Molecule Man, Owen Reece, who can manipulate reality thanks to his ability to reshape molecules. This power comes from the missing fragment of the Cosmic Cube that formed the Beyonder, which incidentally left him immune to Beyonder's power. Unfortunately for Reece, he's always had one big problem: a serious lack of self-confidence.
** The ComicBook/ScarletWitch, was the entire cause of the reboot attempt ''ComicBook/HouseOfM''. She recreated the world in her native universe once so that mutants were in charge and then reset it back to almost right, except that there were no more mutants in multiple universes. (Well, other than a few hundred survivors) And that was after [[ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled killing off her husband and some of her friends, which destroyed the Avengers, when she initially lost it.]]
** Billy Kaplan, aka Wiccan of the ComicBook/YoungAvengers, shares the Scarlet Witch's powers and is [[TangledFamilyTree the reincarnation of her lost son]]. His power level is enough to make the Avengers nervous, to the point that Wolverine [[MurderIsTheBestSolution was willing to outright kill him]]. Billy's only a teenager, but he's managed to summon and then kill an EldritchAbomination, and ComicBook/DoctorStrange approached him to talk about the possibility of Billy becoming the new Sorcerer Supreme. It's safe to say that given enough time and training, Billy has the potential to match or even surpass his mother. Which is not even taking into consideration [[spoiler:his Demiurge powers, which allow him to pretty much ''rewrite the entire universe'' at will. As in, he steps out his universe, onto the ''page of the comic'' and starts changing and rearranging panels, which makes him nearly as powerful as the writers]]. PhysicalGod may not even ''begin'' to cover it.
--->'''Billy:''' ''([[spoiler:as the Demiurge]])'' [[ComesGreatResponsibility I have all this power...and so the responsibility to use it. But I've also the responsibility to know how to use this power.]] And Billy Kaplan? You don't know what the hell you're doing. '''''[[spoiler:Yet]]'''''.
** Mad Jim Jaspers (referred to by other characters variously as "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast reality butcher", "the Jaspers monster" or "the Jaspers thing]]") has been described in ''The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'' as the most powerful reality-warper ever to exist in the Marvel universe because he is capable of affecting realities other than his own. Jaspers is also totally insane and takes to poisoning and twisting reality around him because it seems like good sport. He was only defeated when the Fury, a super-adaptable cyborg created by the Jaspers of another universe [[spoiler: transported him to an empty void outside reality where there is nothing for him to control, and incinerated his brain]].\\
\\
A weaker Mad Jim from an alternate world was so powerful, his universe had to be destroyed. If the main (616) Mad Jim were to be fully powered, that may not be enough.
---> '''Merlyn:''' ''This version of Jaspers. Is too powerful, too dangerous. His counterpart could at least be halted, even if it meant destroying his entire continuum. This one is not so easily containable. And if he cannot be defeated, then the omniverse shall fall into chaos, and a new and hostile god shall play dice with matter.''
*** Given that it was made by use of his powers and taking into account its somewhat ''imaginative'' attitude to having a healing factor, the Fury might well count as well.
** The Impossible Man from the planet Poppup, one of the Fantastic Four's earliest adversaries. He generally only displays shapeshifting in regular continuity. But a very creepy version of him appeared in the Comicbook/{{Exiles}}, where an alternate-universe Impossible Man became semi-psychotic due to a botched mind control attempt on him. He [[BalefulPolymorph turned the Avengers into paper dolls]], transmogrified most of the population of Washington DC into glowing butterflies, and ''didn't realize any of what he was doing'' -- he was just trying to be ''funny''. Thankfully, he managed to [[SnapBack undo it all]] once he broke free.
** 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.
** In a back-up story in an issue of ComicBook/XMen Classics, the Watcher speculated that the ability to alter the fundamental nature of reality is the ultimate power of the Phoenix Force. She falls well short of the likes of the Scarlet Witch at the height of her powers in practice. Dark Phoenix did destroy a solar system, but it was by using a star as fuel; sucking up part of its energy caused an imbalance that caused a supernova, rather than her erasing it with a wave of her hand or something. She ''can'' use her maxed-out telekinesis to rearrange an object's subatomic particles until you get some other kind of matter - she once turned a tree into solid gold easily - and she has power over life and death as part of ThePhoenix motif, so she's perhaps on the ''low'' end of this list.\\
\\
It was sometimes implied that Phoenix's power was limited only by Grey's imagination. Dark Phoenix's destruction was somewhat limited by the fact that Jean was fighting against herself. She easily could have killed all the X-Men, but couldn't bring herself to do it. As Phoenix before she became Dark Phoenix, she unconsciously limited her abilities so that at some crucial moments she tried to channel more power, but instead a mental circuit breaker was tripped, shutting off the power completely.
*** More recent stories involving the Phoenix have shown Jean as the White Phoenix of the Crown holding ''galaxies'' in the palm of her hand.
** 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 ComicBook/{{Decimation}}) would be nothing by comparison. Since when controlled by [[EnemyWithout the Void]] he levelled Asgard in a matter of moments just through his flying brick powers, this is worrying. Death isn't a solution; at one point, he decided to be dead following a spectacular TraumaCongaLine, got forcibly resurrected, and found no-one knew how to kill him again.\\
\\
At one point, it was implied that the reason the Sentry has a MultipleChoicePast is because he's such a powerful reality warper, and has so little conscious control over his powers, that his "true" origin is whatever he thinks it is at the time.
** The [[Comicbook/TheUltimates Ultimate Avengers]] version of Loki. It seems via somehow tapping into the Odinforce, he is able to do things like change Thor into a mortal form, make himself immune against Mjolnir, change the color of the sky, and teleport a host of monsters, among other uses. The trick is, he can't use it too many times at once or much of it without alerting Odin to it.
*** The main universe ComicBook/{{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."]]
*** As of ''Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' we can take it as given that they're fully aware of the extent of their powers, but also the cost of it. In LaymansTerms: According to this series Loki's powers run on the TheoryOfNarrativeCausality (they literally ''lie things into existence''), so if they doesn't tell a passable story, their subconsciousness or the universe ''will''. As they're currently trying to do a HeelFaceTurn this means that they need to learn self-control because taking the easy route with this StoryBreakerPower is a sure-fire way back to ChronicVillainy.
** Comicbook/UltimateXMen introduced a SixthRangerTraitor in the form of Magician, whose reality warping usually manifested in him [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands gaining new powers constantly]] and giving him anything he wants. His power also worked subconsciously, creating a fantasy to get him onto the X-Men and passively brainwashing everyone around him in into liking him. After a confrontation with the X-Men, he ultimately fakes his death and leaves them, as his power was uncontrollable by nature.
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Shaper of Worlds]] could alter reality on at least a planetary scale, but lacked imagination and so had to use others' dreams as a template. (This was because he was an evolved Cosmic Cube. In fact, his true form resembles a Skrull, because that species most often used the Cube he used to be.) He served as a tutor in reality-shaping for Glorian, a human, and Kubik, also an evolved Cosmic Cube.
** Anyone who wields the Infinity Gem of Reality has the power to warp reality though its not exactly easy.
*** Then UpToEleven when the Reality Gem is wielded with the other Infinity Gems with something like the Infinity Gauntlet.
*** This includes any alternate universe counterparts, such as the Wishing Cube (made from six planes of forever glass) from the Great Society's Universe.
** The ring of the superhero Freedom Ring can manipulate reality within a sphere of a radius of 15 feet, due to the ring holding a shard of a Cosmic Cube. This is a rare case of very limited reality warping, as if any creation leaves the sphere, it fades from existence.
** Absorbing Man once used his power to duplicate the properties of a Cosmic Cube. Stuff got very strange when he started punching stuff, like transforming people's costumes into older versions.
** The obscure oneshot ''Comicbook/XMen'' character Mister Marvel put an interesting spin on this. He could alter reality, all right... but the changes to the universe he made were perceptible ''only to him''. In effect, he was living in a fantasy world of his own design. To himself (and only himself) he was the world's greatest superhero; the rest of the world saw him as a frail old man. Then ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' happened, [[TearJerker and suddenly he was a frail old man for real]].
** Comicbook/DoctorStrange at full power can do astonishing things to the fabric of reality, but for the most part he polices reality warpers rather than acts as one himself.
** ComicBook/MsMarvel dealt with a kid with such powers once in her own series, who was created by an organization of mad scientists who experimented on their own kids in an attempt to recreate the powers of Scarlet Witch because they were impressed with her work creating the House of M.
** The ''Galacta: Daughter Of Galactus'' miniseries suggests that all mutants are actually [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy unconscious]] reality warpers who alter reality to make mutant powers possible.
** During the ''Heroic Age'' storyline, ComicBook/TheHood had the ''potential'' to have incredible reality warping powers after he 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.]]
** [[spoiler:Thanos' son]] Thane can warp reality with his left hand. When he first manifested the power he couldn't control it yet, so he was "only" able to kill everything around him.
** Kobik, a little girl born from the shards of Cosmic Cubes that somehow fused together. She's a friendly and cheerful child who just wants to play and be friends with everyone. Including [[spoiler:the Comicbook/RedSkull]] since he was the wielder of one of the Cubes that formed her and she has fond memories of the time they remade the world together.
* {{ComicBook/Sleepwalker}} is a mild example compared to the humans mentioned above. His EyeBeams are referred to as his warp beams, warp vision, or (as is standard in more recent comics, warp gaze) and their main effect is VoluntaryShapeshifting on anything Sleepwalker chooses to affect with them. For instance, he can twist streetlamps and mailboxes to restrain criminals, turn a window into a slide to save someone from falling to their death, or box in people who are trying to attack him. Sleepwalker can also use his warp beams to project images or to free people from DemonicPossession. While these abilities are powerful, Sleepwalker can't pull off the various feats human warpers can.
* From ''Creator/DCComics''
** 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 ''ComicBook/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).
** Creator/NeilGaiman's The Endless from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'': seven {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s holding nigh omnipotence within their respective spheres.
** Half the supporting cast of Creator/GrantMorrison's version of ''Comicbook/DoomPatrol'', mainly villains and {{Anti Villain}}s. A couple of heroes, too. And on the subject of Grant Morrison, The Writer from John Ostrander's ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad''.
** Then there's ComicBook/TheSpectre, who's able to warp reality in some particularly inventive ways, [[KarmicDeath especially when it comes to killing sinners]]. Not surprising, given he's God's Vengeance incarnate.
** The mother of Cascade in ''ComicBook/SovereignSeven'': She remodels ''all'' of her Earth (architecture, fashion, technology level, etc.) every few minutes. [[spoiler:It turns out she began as a normal (but very powerful) superhero who prevented an alien invasion but failed to stop the aliens from destroying Earth in revenge. Then she used her powers to reanimate the world, so that the daughter she was pregnant with could have some semblance of a normal life.]] She's also best friends with Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} for some reason, but how they could ever have met was never explained.
** From the ComicBook/KingdomCome universe, Jonathan Kent, the son of Superman and Wonder Woman, who has full control over hypertime.
** And from ComicBook/TheAuthority, all the Doctors, and Jenny Quantum.
** ComicBook/ShadeTheChangingMan shows the everyday plight of the reality warping hero.
** Ibis the Invincible, who immigrated to DC continuity along with the ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' titles, has the Ibistick, a magic staff that can warp reality on command.
** The Time Trapper can manipulate reality in everything BUT the present, hence his name, he ''traps'' you in time. Oh yeah, he can also move boulders.
** [[ComicBook/WrathOfTheFirstLantern Volthoom, the First Lantern]] and wielder of the first Power Ring, can manipulate time, space, and matter up to a certain area and has the potential to rewrite the entirely of reality itself.
** ComicBook/CaptainAtom became this in a story arc entitled "Quantum Quest," in which he created his own universe over which he had total control. It didn't end well. Also, it is possible that it was AllJustADream. On the other hand, it has been hinted at that he might be that powerful in the regular universe too, but just doesn't realize it or is in denial about it. Dr. Manhattan, an {{Expy}} of ComicBook/CaptainAtom, in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' has telekinesis down to the subatomic level, allowing him to rearrange matter at will. Technically, this is a little different from changing reality outright, but since he's the most ridiculously overpowered character in the saga, nearly everyone there considers him a Reality Warper. Captain Allen Adam, an AlternateUniverse version of Captain Atom from ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' and ''ComicBook/TheMultiversity'', is similarly powerful, but being uncomfortable with his powers, takes drugs to suppress them.
** ComicBook/JohnConstantine posses a low-level, localized form of reality warping that causes his [[TheGamblingAddict tremendous gambles]] to always work out in his favor, [[WindsOfDestinyChange regardless of the odds]], though of course things don't always work out so well for [[DoomMagnet the people close to him]].
* In all incarnations of the character (comic, movie, cartoon), ''ComicBook/TheMask'' has this ability by virtue of effectively being a real-life Tex Avery character.
* If Manhattan counts, then ComicBook/DoctorSolar, Man of the Atom does too.
* The Rumor in ''ComicBook/TheUmbrellaAcademy'' 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.
* 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]].
* Sebastian from ''ComicBook/GloomCookie'' can do this both wittingly and on accident.
* Alfie O'Meagan from ''ComicBook/NthManTheUltimateNinja''. Complicated in that he's an unrepentant PsychopathicManchild.
* [[spoiler:The Plutonian]] from ''ComicBook/{{Irredeemable}}'' is one of these, though he isn't aware of it.
* In the Robotnik Reigns Supreme arc of ComicBook/SonicTheComic Doctor Ivo Robotnik. On the other side of the ocean, [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Amy Rose]] is this, but 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 [[DropTheHammer 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.
* The Golden Age Franchise/GreenLantern had powers so nebulously defined as to be limitless. The ''Batman Black & White'' story "Guardian" depicted him as essentially capable of anything he can imagine. He describes this as a curse, however, and says he quit the hero game because his power scared him, was too much for one man. In his words, Gotham needs a guardian, not a god.
* In ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueElite'', the Fourth World being Eve has the ability to reshape reality, although it appears to be limited - she can't make any changes of her own volition, and there is an upper limit to the scale on which she can make large changes (she is unable, for instance, to change reality so that Superman never existed.)
* 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]].
* ''ComicBook/NemesisTheWarlock'': Warlocks are powerful aliens with sorcerous powers, but Nemesis' young son Thoth can actually warp spacetime itself.
* ''ComicBook/KidLobotomy'': The title character 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 [[spoiler:both of his love interests]].
[[/folder]]

** Dr. Alto Clef once ''claimed'' he was a one; he's [[MultipleChoicePast made claim to several different backstories]], although the most plausible one by far is that he's [[spoiler: [[{{Satan}} the Devil]]]]. However, he ''is'' the Foundation's go-to guy for ''exterminating'' troublesome Reality Warpers.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* As a general rule, any animated show that makes liberal use of ToonPhysics for comedic effect will probably have several or more characters who would qualify as Reality Warpers by the definition of the trope.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''
** In the episode "Rainy Day Daydream", everything that Jake imagines becomes real. Finn then has to go through a bunch of obstacles created by Jake to turn off his imagination.
** In "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog", Prismo is a genie who lives in [[PlaceBeyondTime the Time Room]] and can grant any wish you desire.
* Belladonna from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven: The Series'' is a low level one. She was able to teleport most of the cast into a board game (which became a world of it's own) with just a snap of her fingers and this is probably how her VillainSong even makes sense at all (it involved dancing meat). However, it seems she can't directly effect someone's free will or won't.
* Roger of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' is a bit of a subtle reality warper. Whenever he comes up with a backstory for one of his personas, logic bends to his will to make those backstories true. This includes being the birth mother of two fully grown men, and also being the teenage birth son of a human family, complete with pictures of him growing up! When Roger's alter egos are killed, they really are dead; but that doesn't mean Roger is. One of Roger's alter-egos has been seen handling another of Roger's alter egos' bodily remains.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
** Richard Watterson's getting and keeping a job causes the entire fabric of reality to bend and warp.
** [[spoiler: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]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'', Alexa's magic and Malucia's magic let them create things out of thin air and change others' appearances, among other things.
* Beetlejuice in ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' is essentially this with his claims on being the ghost with the most.
* Alien X from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has this as his/her/its main ability. It's quite handy... but it [[BlessedWithSuck only works if Ben and Alien X's two personalities can agree on what to do]]. This happens very rarely, and worst and most dangerously of all ''they quite like having Ben as a tiebreaker, and have more than enough power to prevent him from ever changing back.''
* Gaia, from ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', will bend reality through time manipulation to solve a problem or to teach characters a lesson. One example is during the episode "If its Doomsday, It Must be Belfast", she fast forwards time 10 years to show the affects of the nuclear fallout to people in three different conflict zones if they set the nukes off after Verminous Skumm gives them the triggers, saying that they will destroy the other side. She then rewinds back time and with their lessons learned, help the Planeteers foil Skumm's plans. Her EvilCounterpart Zarm also can display this power, usually requiring her intervention when the Planeteers face him.
* Fred from ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland''.
* Some Ghosts in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. Notably, Desiree, a Genie-like ghost. As well as anyone who wears the Reality Gauntlet.
* ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons'' TV series:
** Varla, the BarrierMaiden.
** The Dungeon Master himself seemed to be this to an extent. He clearly had limits (since Warduke actually captures him once), both some inherent and some self-imposed, but it wasn't entirely clear what they were. When he gave Eric his powers for one adventure, Eric had a lot of trouble learning to control them, but also seemed to gain some valuable insight from the experience (which is presumably why DM did it). DM also warned him that his actions could have unforeseen consequences; for instance, conjuring water in one place could create a drought elsewhere.
* Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. He can make an elevator made out of a bunch of random shit ''that goes to the moon''. [[MindScrew The exit is a microwave, and some of the stuff in the elevator includes a fishbowl, hockey sticks, and anything else you could get your hands on]]. He can also create a rewind button on Edd's hat, helpful when Ed can't quite understand Edd's Technobabble.
** He can also defy gravity, lift entire houses, blow up a house with nothing but the static electricity from rubbing his socks on carpet, clone himself to get an I-beam brought up to the top of the aforementioned elevator, jump at least a thousand feet up in the air, can fly by flapping his arms hard enough, is invulnerable to pain, and can exist in cartoons. When you consider all this, it's little wonder that he almost destroyed reality itself in [[BizarroEpisode 2+2=Ed]].
** In one episode where the Eds are trying to catch a red balloon floating through the sky, Ed manages to make Eddy's [[HelicopterHair hair spin fast enough for him to fly]]. He does this by [[RuleOfFunny pulling Eddy's wallet chain like the starter cord of a lawnmower]], leading to a hilarious reaction from Edd.
-->'''Edd:''' ''(with a look of disbelief on his face)'' Remind me to ask you how you did that, Ed.
** This is mostly because the show operates with ''very'' prominent ToonPhysics, 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 ToonPhysics 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).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':
** Fairies have the ability to warp the world around them in response to the wishes of their charge.
** As has the magical birthday cake.
** But even fairies are bound by "Da Rules". The Magic Fairy-versary Muffin, granted to any child who lasts one year without revealing the existence of his or her fairy godparents, grants one (almost) rule-free wish per bite of muffin, on one condition: [[RuleOfFunny You can't wish for a better-tasting muffin.]] It tastes horrible. Deal with it.
** There's also genie magic which is every bit as powerful as fairy magic, but without any rules whatsoever. The only trouble is Norm, the only genie to ever appear, is a real {{jackass|Genie}} who absolutely revels in screwing over whoever he grants a wish for. He's voiced by ''Creator/NormMacDonald'', so what do you expect?
** Fairy Babies are not in control of their magic unless trained, so a newborn baby is this combined with PowerIncontinence. Generally, Crying will result in something bad happening in the immediate area, while tamper tantrums can result in worse. Laughing, meanwhile, can restore whatever damage done and farting can ''reverse time''.
* The Great Gazoo from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' can pretty much do anything he wants; a {{Trope Namer|s}} 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.
* Goo from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' frequently {{lampshade|Hanging}}s, {{subvert|edTrope}}s, and {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s this trope. She's a little girl who can create life by accident. (And somehow she manages not to be too creepy.)
** In this show anyone (at least children) can bring an imaginary friend into being. Goo's the only kid we've met who runs the risk of doing it ''by accident''. If you consider how it takes some imagination and focus to bring an imaginary friend to life (Terrence having to strain himself to create a red block with arms, though that's [[DumbMuscle primarily just because it's Terrence]]), being able to bring dozens to life in detail within a few seconds makes Goo even more impressive.
** Creating an army of them with diverse body types, powers, and personalities...while asleep.
** The surprisingly [[DarkerAndEdgier psychological]] "Foster's Home" made for TV movie "Destination Imagination" gave us a glimpse of what happens when you cause a nigh-omnipotent-within-his-realm character to suffer from ''serious'' abandonment issues...
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has Bender at the end of "Obsoletely Fabulous" although it's more of him warping his perception of reality. Bender becomes a true reality warper during a later episode where he is overclocked by the Professor's son, Cubert.
* Orson of ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm]]''. He does need to be deliberately using his imagination, and a book helps, though. Either way, if it doesn't merely shut him off to the rest of the world, it superimposes his imagination on a fairly large acreage around him. Those affected need not have known he was reading; they can deduce it from the drastic changes in their surroundings. Reading a book about the ocean? Roy and Wade find themselves at the bottom. A coloring book? Whoops, now they're lineart. Reading "A Pictorial History of Trains", or even just the title? They get chased by a locomotive. But once he's done, it goes away. (If they were in the air, they might still have to fall back to the ground, though.) A notable humourous example is he once read a phone book, and Wade got attacked by an area code.
* ''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]].
* [[TheGrimReaper Grim]], and various other supernatural beings, in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''.
* {{WesternAnimation/Grojband}}:
** The band's music is capable of raising the dead, bulking up old ladies, breaking a cybernetic network, banishing an evil knight...and basically every abnormal thing that occurs in the series.
** 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 phenomenon happens depending on the emotion.
** Trina and Nick also appear to exert power of bodily functions, while Trina and Mina Trina and Mina can resist sweating and drooling as "it's for farmers".
*** Nick Mallory is able to will away chicken pox as "Nick Mallory doesn'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.
** In "A Knight To Remember" Bonkerton Comet messes with reality when it appears every four years.
** According to the intro video in the website it's shown that the "Wicked Cool Transition" can teleport characters.
* The ''WesternAnimation/HeckleAndJeckle'' cartoon "The Power of Thought" deconstructs this trope, as it applies to cartoons, for all it's worth. One of the two Magpies, realizing that they are cartoon characters, causes anything he wants to happen just by thinking of it, and uses the power to bedevil a cop. [[spoiler:The cop finally gets the two in jail by "doing some thinking of my own."]]
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'': According to WordOfGod, Lucius can remake Miseryville on a whim, which is the reason for all the strange things that occur. The reason he doesn't do it obviously is because his {{pride}} [[WeaksauceWeakness would be damaged if he admitted he needed his powers]].
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
** The RetroUniverse in "Legends" was [[spoiler: the product of a kid who idolized the Justice Guild and recreated them following their deaths in a nuclear war that [[ILoveNuclearPower also gave him mental powers]]]].
** Ace's power is initially [[MindRape driving victims mad with illusions]]. By her second appearance, her powers have increased to the point where her creations are very real.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
** One episode had Stumpy and Quack Quack become this by using [[MediumAwareness animation software to make their own episode of the show]].
** Another episode had Quack Quack develop a singing voice that could warp reality and control people around him to do whatever he sang. The only problem was, the singing voice only affected kids. Mr. Cat, who is physically still a kid but has the mind of an adult, was not affected and used Quack Quack's powers for his own advantage.
* Apart from ToonPhysics, how else can the [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Coyote's]] plans so frequently backfire in such mind-bending ways? At one point the road runner defeats the Coyote by defying the law of gravity, which he explains by holding up a sign that says "Roadrunners don't study law!"
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' are bird-spirits with this power. They'd easily be among the Ridiculously Overpowered Warpers if they (or [[CoconutSuperpowers the writers]]) were a little more imaginative.
** Pluma and the other Penna in "The Ghost of Paradise Estate" episode of the original ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' series. At first it starts as advanced shapeshifting - able to take on not just the look but the properties of whatever you turn into, she's more than a winner of the SuperpowerLottery. Then, just add [[MacGuffin the Flash Stone]]. It's best for all involved that for most of the story it's [[DismantledMacGuffin split in half]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Although it was originally only PlayedForLaughs, Pinkie Pie has become a borderline example now that she's using ToonPhysics 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"]]).
** A more malevolent example is Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony, who uses his powers to create a WorldGoneMad for his own amusement. Unlike Pinkie Pie, his powers are ''not'' PlayedForLaughs (well, [[LaughablyEvil not in the same manner]]). He was based on Q from ''Star Trek'', to the point he's voiced by John de Lancie himself. [[spoiler:Fortunately, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe after befriending Fluttershy]], he vows to use his powers for good. [[ReformedButNotTamed Mostly]].]]
** [[FunctionalMagic Unicorn magic]] in general seems to have the potential to become this. Many unicorns don't appear to do much more than use their telekinesis plus a "theme" spell or two, but the variety of effects that the real ''wizards'' among them can spontaneously create with the right spells (which themselves seem more a collection of random effects than they'd follow any actual system or logic that we ever see) is quite dazzling. Alicorn magic is apparently [[PhysicalGod immensely more powerful]].
** Twilight Sparkle has the range of effects but not the raw power of someone like Discord. ''She'' was the one who turned an animal into a fruit, and switched around the cutie marks. (In both cases it wasn't ''quite'' what she was going for.) Twilight's overpowered-if-she-had-better-control powers are explained as most unicorns having magic related to their special talent, whereas Twilight's special talent is ''magic itself,'' giving her an unlimited range of spells (though nowhere near the raw power of the princesses... yet.)
** [[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]].
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E23InspirationManifestation "Inspiration Manifestation"]] is a SpellBook that contains a spell allowing its owner to alter things to match their imagined version of it. Spike gives it to Rarity so she can use it to [[MundaneUtility fix her puppet theater]], which the puppeteer she built it for was disappointed in, but [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity she quickly goes mad]] from the spell's power, planning to alter all of Equestria to match her idea of beauty (which basically means turning everything into a golden, gem-incrusted version of itself).
** There is also [[BigRedDevil Lord Tirek]], who was mentioned by Princess Celestia to be a potential Reality Warper when at full power. Since all aspects of life in Equestria are regulated by ponies, Tirek [[ManaDrain stealing the magic]] of every pony would result in him becoming able to single-handedly control all of these aspects himself. Fortunately for everyone, although Tirek's sheer [[UnskilledButStrong brute magical force]] can allow him to overwhelm even [[MadGod Discord]] (above), he is nowhere as ''skilled'' with magic as Discord is, so "more magic" usually just equals to "'''bigger''' [[WaveMotionGun lasers]]".
* It's never said, but occasionally hinted that some of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'''s gadgetry borders on this. Particularly the times when it's lampshaded that what they're trying to do is impossible, right before they go and do it anyway.
* Some early ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther Pink Panther]]'' shorts had a bit of reality warping.
* ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} is one of the biggest reality warpers of all time, and he does so by punching things. He's punched bulls into freshly cut steaks (with a sign and stand), people into baloney, Indians into nickels, etc, and ripped through the very film he was on, the animators having to stop the cartoon so they could fix it.
* Hexadecimal in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' temporarily gains this power when she infects the system paint program. 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.
* When Creator/SethMacFarlane guested on the season 2 premiere of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', he's portrayed as being such by way of the {{Cutaway Gag}}s his own works popularized.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E7TreehouseOfHorrorII Treehouse of Horror II]]" featured a parody of ''The 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.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Butters, TheChosenOne... as long as he's in Imagination Land, that is. However, everyone could do that, as it was a massive, pseudo-real lucid dream.
** Kyle also briefly becomes one in the episode "Tooth Fairy Tats 2000," after suffering an existential crisis brought on by finding out the Tooth Fairy isn't real.
* Dwayne, a ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' Bang Baby, was able to turn water into cherry soda and create fictional characters with his mind.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "The Magicks of Megas-Tu". They can bring anything into existence with but a thought. While they were on Earth they were considered to be witches and magicians due to their powers.
* Wyatt from ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy''. With his "Why Writer", he literally rewrites the reality of the books he is in, replacing words and phrases with options appropriate for the problem at hand.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** [[SdrawkcabName Nosyarg Kcid]], or "Larry", from the episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS2E11Fractured Fractured]]" (an homage to Bat-Mite, mentioned above). And the show goes on to show what happens if a Reality Warper had a PhlebotinumBreakdown (All Robin's fault, NiceJobBreakingItHero).
** Melvin and her [[BearsAreBadNews imaginary friend Bobby]].
** Slightly more over the top is when Raven turns Titans Towers into a horror movie as a subconscious manifestation of her own fear. She never uses it again, but she certainly seems to have shade of it. In general, it would be [[GameBreaker a great deal easier for the heroes]] if Raven could voluntarily do any of the things that can happen when her emotions and thus her powers run wild.
** One episode dealt with a Wizard who had magic that seemed to rival [[Disney/{{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.
* Creator/{{Terrytoons}}' TV star WesternAnimation/TomTerrific was able to change into anything, inanimate or otherwise, a situation called for. It was never entailed as to how he acquired this power unless it merely mirrored a child's yearn to be what he/she wanted.
* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa''. Being everyone in the world's uncle and grandpa simultaneously is just the beginning. Reality is pretty much his bitch.
* WesternAnimation/{{Wallykazam}}: Wally Trollman can do pretty much anything with the magic stick so long as he finds a word with the appropriate sound or letter announced at start. Seen less often, Battle the Witch's broom-based "sweepa sweepa sweepa" spells also appear to have such power.
* Anyone who enters The Void in ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' becomes this, but only when they're in the void.
* WesternAnimation/WanderingWenda: similar to Wally above, her "Wordplay will save the day" can change anything into anything so long as her letter of the day can alter the old spelling into the desired solution. This applies to verbs as well as nouns.
* Elyon Brown [[spoiler: aka Queen Elyon of Meridian, and later Cornelia's little sister Lillian Hale]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/XMen'', Kevin/Proteus and his 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.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''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 however many times they like]].
* 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]].
* Magic in ''VideoGame/{{Arcanum}}'' works this way, which is why it is [[MagicVersusScience incompatible with technology]] - while technological contraptions use the laws of physics and chemistry to function magic alters them to allow the user to, for instance, [[{{Fireballs}} turn air into plasma and hurl it at something]] or [[ThinkingUpPortals more comfortably travel via space-time distortion]].
* In ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'':
** [[spoiler: Elizabeth is able, from the beginning, to open "Tears", portals, into other timelines and dimensions. By the end of the game, she becomes even more powerful and essentially [[TheOmnipotent the omnipotent being]] of that universe.]]
** 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]].
* 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]]]].
** Related to the above, having a connection with any of the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Sankishin]], or "Three God Units" will also grant you reality-warping abilities. They are powerful weapons originating from the aforementioned Boundary, each of them having something to do with the world's origin. The Amaterasu Unit, also known as the Master Unit, is controlled by an unknown girl that seems to be responsible for the world's creation. Tsukuyomi and Susanoo Unit, both are connected to the Master Unit, can "protect" and "destroy" time respectively, which basically translates into "a shield that {{No Sell}}s everything" and "a sword that can kill DeaderThanDead". In fact, due to [[spoiler:Jin Kisaragi of the original timeline used the Susanoo Unit]], Jin Kisaragi ([[spoiler:both of the past and the future]]) gains the Power Of Order, which can resist and even nullify strong Phenomena Interventions, like [[spoiler:Izayoi's Immortal Breaker, which can kill even Observers]].
** 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 protagonist of ''VideoGame/TheCompanyOfMyself''. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Oh, wait,]] [[YourMindMakesItReal His Mind Just Made It Real For Him]].]]
* 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 paradisiacal 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.
** This is the end goal of the Vex: to effectively establish their existence as a law of physics. And going by what's encountered in the Vault of Glass, they're on the way there, as they have already developed Gorgons, which can define what does and does not ''exist'' within a certain area, and apparently other Guardians have actually been completely erased from time and space when they assaulted the Vault.
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': Some fans have a theory that this was Sparda's main power and Dante, being his son, channels it on a limited degree leading to why RuleOfCool ALWAYS works for him.
* '' VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'': Polaris is the Administrator of the Universe, and he has decided to bring the cosmic Ban Hammer down on our planet because we haven't taken the evolutionary route he desires. How does this come about? He wills the planet to vanish, and it does. It just... disappears into nothingness. The Dragon Stream can cancel it, however.
* Mages in ''Franchise/DragonAge'' warp the very fabric of reality with their mere existence since each mage is essentially a living, breathing weak point in the Veil. Magical education simply allows mages to focus and control the effects. Mages essentially make the world a little less "real". Templars by contrast possess AntiMagic abilities that reinforce reality. Curiously enough, both make use of [[GreenRocks lyrium]] to augment their abilities.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** To use extremely esoteric "lore speak", the universe the series' takes place in was created using metaphysical "tonal architecture". Many beings and races throughout the backstory have discovered ways to alter these "tones", creating all sorts of reality warping effects by [[LoopholeAbuse abusing the loopholes]] in reality.
** 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 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]].
** The [[TheOrder Psijic Order]], a powerful MagicalSociety and the oldest monastic order in Tamriel, is another group believed to be capable of this. It is believed that the abilities of the Psijics come from their manipulation of nature itself ("The Old Ways") rather than through the application of [[{{Mana}} Magicka]], like standard magic. However, the end result is largely the same. Still, the Psijics are capable of performing this in ways (and on a scale) which no other extant group in Tamriel is capable.
** [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]] are a [[DragonsAreDivine divine]] species with immortal [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Aedric]] souls, to whom their LanguageOfMagic (referred to as the "Thu'um" by mortals) is so intrinsic to their very beings that it gives them a small scale reality warping effect. Using the Thu'um, dragons can ''[[MakeMeWannaShout command]]'' elements into existence. While it make look like a dragon is, for example, [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]], the dragon is actually channeling magical energy through his words to create fire. When the dragons came to dominate early mankind, mankind prayed to the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Divines]] for aid. Their prayers were answered when they were taught to use the Thu'um themselves against the dragons.
** Achieving [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence CHIM]], essentially realizing that everything, including yourself, is just a dream of [[TheOmnipotent the Godhead]] but having the mental fortitude to exist as one with it, grants this ability. Only two beings in history are believed to have achieved it - the [[OurElvesAreBetter Chimeri/Dunmeri]] [[PhysicalGod Tribunal deity]] Vivec and (MindScrew warning) the being known variously as ([[MergerOfSouls some or all of]]) Tiber Septim/Talos of Atmora/Hjalti Early-Beard/Zurin Arctus/Wulfharth Ash-King. Following the death of Tiber Septim, [[FounderOfTheKingdom founder of the Third Tamrielic Empire]], though an unknown but hotly debated means possibly involving the Numidium and/or the spirit of Lorkhan, the DeityOfHumanOrigin known as Talos came to be the Ninth Aedric Divine. Talos then ([[UnreliableCanon allegedly]]) used this power to change Cyrodiil from a jungle to a temperate grassland, a change that was retroactive, essentially making it so Cyrodiil had ''always been'' a temperate grassland. As well as achieving CHIM, Septim was also Dragonborn, giving him natural use of the Thu'um, and used the Numidium in his conquests. Taking all of that into account, it's not surprising that he was able to conquer all of Tamriel. Beyond CHIM supposedly lie two other states of being: Amaranth and Zero-Sum. Achieving Amaranth means that one exits the dream of the Godhead to create his own reality, while Zero-Sum occurs when one fails to maintain his individuality upon realizing the dream, fading into it and [[CessationOfExistence ceasing to exist]].
** Alteration is one of the series' eight (later six) [[FunctionalMagic schools of magic]], and focuses on very small scale reality warping. It includes spells of paralysis, [[UtilityMagic levitation, jumping, water breathing, water walking, locking, lock opening, feather, burden]], and personal elemental shields such as flame cloaks. One in-game book on Alteration says that the key to using it is to [[YourMindMakesItReal recognize that there is no reality and that by embracing a temporary form of madness to impose one's will on the normal laws of the universe.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'' ends with reality warping on an epic scale. The activation of the aforementioned 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.
** The aforementioned Numidium's main weapon was its ability to literally refute someone or something out of existence. The sheer amount of divine power that drove it, coupled with its embodiment of the Dwemer's skepticism, gave it the ability to take a target, declare "You don't exist," and then ''force'' that statement to become a truth. The only way to counter this is to fight back with one's own affirmation that they do exist and to enforce that truth with one's own force of will and metaphysical power.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', a mage at the College of Winterhold attempts to recreate the event that caused the Dwemer to disappear. He recovers one of the original tools used to tap into the aforementioned Heart of Lorkhan and sets you on a FetchQuest to find something that can simulate (if a little incompletely) the Heart itself. [[spoiler:It leads to him being incompletely wiped from reality. But hey, you get him as a nifty, [[AndIMustScream permanently wailing and hurting]] summon!]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'', you have the power to change the world around you at certain points in stages. This seems like an interesting power. [[spoiler:And later you warp the SugarBowl into a SugarApocalypse.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'': [[BigBad Ruvik]] is this [[spoiler:since the game takes place in his own MentalWorld]]. The fun part? He's a [[AxCrazy psychopathic]] SerialKiller.
* In ''Videogame/{{Evolve}}'' the Kraken is capable of creating and manipulating dark matter, while the Wraith can turn itself into a being of pure energy.
** [[spoiler: The true nature of the monsters, they are capable of manipulating Δk/''i''t, the equation humans use for FTL, forcefields, anti-grav, weather control, and more. This allows them the power of interdimensional travel, low level forcefields in the form of armor, and the ability to collapse all of reality into a true vacuum.]]
* Hemah in ''VideoGame/FallFromHeaven'' does this with dreams. Hemah himself is similar creation of a god's dreams.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** Apparently, Edea [[spoiler: when possessed by Ultimecia]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. She does things that do not fit into the neat little Final Fantasy magic system of Curaga, Blizzaga, etc. merely by wanting to do so, not bothering with any spellcasting procedures. Things like flying through walls, stopping bullets in mid-air, giving herself an instant haircut without cutting anything (her hair just shortens), mind-controlling an entire huge crowd, and so on. Probably any sorceress is capable of such things, but she's the only one who demonstrates them very visibly. The only other sorceress with a lot of screen-time is [[spoiler: Rinoa]], who is inexperienced and has, really, no idea what she's capable of.
*** Low end of the scale at best. Edea's original power set was ice powers, but when she gained [[spoiler: Ultemecia]]'s powers, she gained power over Space and Time.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesRingOfFates'' it's revealed that this is the principle on which all magic works. One cannot create a fire, but instead swap out the present universe for one that it is identical in all ways except the target being on fire. The number of possible universes are unbelievably vast, but still finite. [[spoiler: The Starsingers on the other hand can choose from any universe at will, allow them to make changes far greater then normal magic users. In the end Yuri and Chelinka surpass even this, becoming true reality warpers capable of creating their own world from scratch.]]
* Alma from the ''[[Videogame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'' series has PsychicPowers that rise to this level. So far, in the {{Canon}}, she's shown the ability to exist past her physical death, shred people to bloody skeletons, and conjure "ghosts" out of nothing just by thinking about it. It's hinted that these are fairly ''low'' on the spectrum of her abilities, although we have yet to see more of what she can do outside of the non-canonical expansions.
** If you ''do'' include those expansions, though, her powers include, at the very least, the ability to bring the dead back to life -- in a setting that ''doesn't'' operate under DeathIsCheap -- wipe a city clean of inhabitants without a trace, spontaneously disintegrate objects, and generally just bend reality to her slightest whim.
** We've now gotten to see more of what she can do canonically in ''Project Origin'', and it's not much less impressive. At the very least, she can create ''real'' ghosts now -- coalescing the psychic remnants of the dead into very angry, invincible creatures bent on the destruction of the living -- and turn people into mindless slaves with the psychic ability to reanimate corpses and use them like puppets.
** 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....]]
** The third game confirms that Alma is warping reality, and it's not even a conscious choice on her part. The developers even refer to it as the "Almaverse" and it features horrific monsters and living humans who are horribly twisted by Alma's psychic powers.
* The villain Entropy in ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'' warps reality by merely existing. Since her continued existence would eventually destroy the universe, the heroes had to take her down.
* The G Man from ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' can stop time, appear anywhere he pleases and seemingly create impossible environments effortlessly. Later the Vortigaunts are shown being able to collectively do similar things, even interfering and blocking the G Man from reclaiming Gordon Freeman for a time.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', Master Xehanort is able to ''effortlessly destroy an entire world'' using nothing but his keyblade!
** Xemnas's power over "Nothingness" allows him to manipulate The World That Never Was to his liking, most notably by throwing large sections of the buildings at the player. He's also heavily implied to be able to change a Nobody's type, making him TheDreaded among the other Organization XIII members and allowing him to keep them in line.
** 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 a non-existent surface, giving him the appearance of walking on an invisible ceiling.
** Luxord, being Xigbar's "Time" counterpart, can convert the stage into a TimedMission and force the player into timed minigames that inflict various positive or negative status effects depending on success or failure. Additionally, his weaponized cards and dice can change size and function as {{Pocket Dimension}}s for him to hide in.
** Zexion wields a YourMindMakesItReal version of "Illusion". Additionally, ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'' allows him to briefly convert his book into other weapons during combos, and the Final Mix version of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' allows him to use said book as a portal to an EldritchLocation PocketDimension under his control.
** Sora and Riku have a very mild version of this in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' using the Reality Shift, which has a different effect in each world. Such as rewriting actions of enemies and programs in [[Film/TronLegacy The Grid]].
* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'':
** In ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'', Kirby and Yin-Yarn have the power to alter the [[{{Pun}} fabric of space]].
** In VideoGame/KirbySuperStar's ''Milky Way Wishes'' segment, the 'clockwork star' NOVA is one of these. When Kirby activates it, it simply says, "I WILL GRANT ONE WISH...> " [[spoiler: before Marx hijacks it and goes OneWingedAngel]]. It gets the mother of all callbacks in VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot when, during the final boss fight, Kirby shoots off the Haltmann Works Company mothership's armor— [[spoiler:and the mothership's a NOVA series 'star' itself, which proceeds to try and knock Kirby into next week]].
* The [[EldritchAbomination Virage Embryo]] in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon'' has this power: even when technically still dormant it warps the interior of the Moon That Never Sets into a series of elaborate constructs based on the memories of the main characters. During the final boss battle, with half of its power awakened, it takes on no less than four different forms while also transforming the arena into a moving recreation of the birth of the universe. At full power it would have [[spoiler: destroyed the world and remade it in it's own twisted image.]]
* Sackboy in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet''.
* ''Videogame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'': "Your power is very honest. It will bend reality around your wish."
* 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]].
** [[spoiler: “A god — a real god — is a verb. Not some old man with magic powers. It's a force. It warps reality just by being there. It doesn't have to want to. It doesn't have to think about it. It just does."]]
* Any weirdness in ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' involving maids, robots, cat girls, [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Attack of the 50 Foot Tsundere]], and 10 year olds [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat suddenly knowing Kung Fu]] gets blamed on the Tatari's Influence. ....despite that's ''not'' [[MagicAIsMagicA how the Tatari worked in the main plot!]]
* The JRPG ''VideoGame/MyWorldMyWay'' has something of a Reality Warper as the ''main character'' - a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled-rotten princess]] who becomes an adventurer, and can "pout" to change things (including locations, monsters, etc.) to her liking.
* The first few ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' games revolve the concept of RewritingReality. VideoGame/{{Uru}} and VideoGame/MystV brought this one step further by introducing the Bahro, an enslaved species with the power to warp reality among other untold abilities (ex.: Linking from one Age to another without the use of Linking Books, controlling the weather, and accelerating time). It's possible that Yeesha might be able to do this as well.
* Amaterasu, the [[AGodIsYou protagonist]] of ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', has the power to alter reality with her Celestial Brush. She can use it to slice things in half, fix broken bridges (unfortunately, she still has to deal with [[BrokenBridge that kind]]), [[GreenThumb bloom trees]], climb walls, [[PlayingWithFire light things on fire]], [[BlowYouAway cause windstorms]], and various other nifty things once she [[GottaCatchEmAll finds out how.]] And did we mention that she's not only a ''god'', but a ''[[BadassAdorable Wolf]]''? Chibiterasu, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', also has these powers, although he is purported to be less powerful than Ammy due to being a "new existence."
* 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.]]
* Sammun-Mak in ''{{VideoGame/Sam and Max|FreelancePolice}}: The Devil's Playhouse'', who rewrites the history of the world to put himself in charge and make everyone love him. And possibly Max depending on whether you believe Papierwaite's or Sam's explanation as to why [[FantasticVoyagePlot Max's insides]] look like a trendy [=70s=] house - Papierwaite says it's this trope, Sam claims Max's insides have always looked like that.
* You, the player, in ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}''. Anything you spell out in the text box appears in an instant, from a fly to a dragon, Death, God, a black hole and so on.
** In addition to this, he can add adjectives to other people and objects allowing for things that shouldn't even be possible like a male woman, he also has the ability to write things out of existence in the later games by adding "gone" to an object.
* Alessa Gillespie, in ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' has a rather odd example in Peacock. During gameplay, ''all'' of the playable characters operate under a degree of cartoon physics ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation this being a 2D animated fighting game, it's excusable]]). But in the game's actual story setting, physics function as normal--Peacock is the only exception. Interestingly, this is explicitly defined as a ''power'' of hers; she's managed to essentially ''weaponize'' [[ToonPhysics cartoon physics]], which is what makes her such a terrifying force. Peacock is able to conjure all manner of outlandish objects and weapons out of thin air, teleport via [[PortableHole portable hole]], and summon her imaginary friends into reality to help her fight, among other things.
* ''Franchise/{{Sonic}}'':
** Alf Layla wa-Layla from ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Secret Rings]]'', as he tells you at the beginning of the fight:
-->"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgEj67nrd-g I AM...THE CREATOR...THE STORIES OF THIS WORLD ARE... MINE!]]"
** 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]]]].
* Arguably Viki, from the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series. While her teleportation rune explains why she can send people to different places, and her general ditziness means this happens by accident or is done wrongly on occasion, it does not explain why she has the ability to travel through time, entirely by accident, usually after sneezing. In ''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'' you can actually have two copies of her in your party because of this.
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' introduces us to the Magikoopa, who can teleport and fire blasts that can transform nearby objects into obstacles, enemies, etc. ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' takes it even further by giving said blasts the power to make the Goal/Axe vanish, essentially making the level unwinnable unless you can kill him.
** ''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.]]
* It turns out that the Von Braun's FTL drive in ''VideoGame/SystemShock 2'' works this way. This is also how [[spoiler: SHODAN plans to remake the world according to her specifications]].
* Yukari Yakumo, of the ''Videogame/{{Touhou}}'' series, has complete power over boundaries. Not walls or fences, the boundaries between Dreams and Reality, Life and Death, Truth and Lies, Wave and Particle or anything consisting of two opposites. This power goes to comical levels; she can never truly die, as she can simply manipulate the border of Life and Death and be alive again (she also did this to another person), and she once created a portal to the moon by looking into the moon's reflection in a lake, and manipulating the border between truth and lies (turning the reflection of the false moon into a reflection of the true moon, and then using the reflection to target the protected true moon). She's never been truly beaten (border of success and failure, anyone?) in any of the games (this is a series where everyone is a GameBreaker), and instead leads the protagonists on behind the scenes.
** Reimu Hakurei also somewhat counts in that her Last Word "Fantasy Heaven", the most powerful Spellcard in her arsenal, allows her to simply "float away from reality", making any attempt to attack her futile. Thankfully, because battles are largely regarded as games in Gensoukyou, she has a self-imposed time limit to this spell (around a minute). Doesn't really help much considering that this spellcard is considered by some to be the second, if not THE toughest one to beat in the game. According to WordOfGod, however, if she were to ever use this spell without the time limit, it would be impossible to defeat no matter what the method.
** This doesn't say much in a world where people can move at appreciable fractions of the speed of light, invite mortal souls to death, remove a boundary that keeps the place existing, manipulate fate, or just flat out destroy anything, however. If the characters ever really tried to kill each other, whoever went first would win instantly.
** Other characters, though due to either less power or experience are nowhere near the levels of the above two, possess aspects of this trope as well. Shinki (the Goddess of Demons) created the entirety of Makai and its inhabitants, although her rule is not absolute. Remilia Scarlet can [[WindsOfDestinyChange manipulate Fate]], which has some interesting implications, however either she never uses it or it is an unconscious ability. Keine Kamishirasawa can "eat" and hide history, as well as create brand new history in her hakutaku form, however her mastery of it is tenuous at best, and stronger or more perceptive characters can see right through it (for example, in the Border Team scenario of ''Imperishable Night'', while she could successfully hide the Human Village from Reimu, Yukari could see the village and its inhabitants with no problem). Sanae Kochiya possesses the power to create miracles, but each miracle has a casting time, and the truly impressive ones would require days of continuous casting to perform.
** ''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 perceived as a swindler and liar.
* ''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 example 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.]]
* King Blue from ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'' [[spoiler: That's because he is Captain Blue, movie director extraordinaire and the creator of Movie Land]].
* The Black Jewel from ''VideoGame/WarioWorld''. The first thing it does upon being freed is destroy Wario's castle and create its own realm in it's place.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Audio Play]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Adam R. Brown's ''Literature/AstralDawn'' series presents spirits that are so powerful, they can warp reality. However, while this ability is at its peak on the astral plane, on the physical plane, their ability to do this is considerably reduced. The Aash Ra and Aash Ra Ktah (hybrids) can manipulate reality to great degree on all planes of reality, including the physical plane.
* ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'', despite being full of EldritchAbomination, actually only has a few examples. This is because Lovecraft left it open to interpretation as to whether they are really supernatural or just have extremely advanced technologies. Regardless, the more notable examples are the Great Old Ones (who would be {{Physical God}}s if they ever escape loose from their prisons), and the Outer Gods (all-powerful and all-knowing entities).
* It appears that Little Pete from ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' may be one of these, which means that the most powerful person in Perdido Beach is a severely autistic four-year-old.
* First-tier Sundered Ones in ''Literature/TheSundered'' have this power. Notably, one of them seems able to just rearrange the world willy-nilly.
* Quite a few literary wizards have at least a mild form of this power.
** Merlyn in ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing'' by T. H. White.
** In ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfAmber'', the Lords Of Amber actually do this in reverse. Instead of changing the universe, they move themselves into successive nearly-identical universes more to their design. Although the question of whether they actually travel into pre-existing universes or actually will them into existence, or even if they can grasp a fourth space-time dimension unknown to us (not unlike a 3-dimensional object would seen from the perspective of a 2-dimensional one) is never really clarified.
*** Corwin himself eventually comes to doubt the solipsism hypothesis, on the grounds that he'd long since played the game of traveling to the limits of his capacity to comprehend reality and has now found a path of external origin leading beyond those limits. In general there seems a granularity to Shadow; some changes aren't findable (such as a world exactly like the one you're in except with a certain person having a different personality or memories), Shadow-travelers with sufficiently similar destinations in mind will tend to end up in the same place, and many minor uses of the power behave more as if they're modifying the existing reality rather than moving the user into a subtly different one.
** Wizards in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' have the power to conjure some things using their magic, but not others, such as food. How exactly "food" is defined and how it's fundamentally different from non-food in this account, is, of course, never explained or explored. Also Voldemort apparently placed a curse that makes sure that every teacher appointed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts job only lasts a year. Without fail, at the end of every year something will happen to get rid of the teacher.
** Wizards of Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin's Literature/{{Earthsea}} universe can also Reality Warp if they were to use the [[LanguageOfMagic Old Speech]] to change the [[IKnowYourTrueName true name of a thing]]. However, [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy this is rarely if ever done]], meaning that the magic actually practiced by wizards consists chiefly of [[MasterOfIllusion illusions]]. This doesn't mean "[[Series/ArrestedDevelopment illusions]]" as in stage magic, just "not actually creating things." For instance, you ''can'' conjure food and water--but if you do it with illusions, they won't fill you up or quench your thirst, and if you do it through reality warping, you've probably destroyed the universe, or at least put it in serious danger.
** In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', magic and the power of wizards is inherently tied to belief, thus somewhat limiting what the average White Council wizard can do, to "things understandable to the human mind." So a potent wizard can absorb spiritual energy and become a demigod, or resurrect a dead person, but you can't end time or reverse physics. It's mentioned in passing that the emergence of a strong wizard who is insane in the "mentally detached from reality" sense (as opposed to the "homicidal maniac" sense which is fairly common) would essentially constitute a Reality Warper and is a very serious fear of the White Council.
* Creator/PhilipKDick
** 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]]]].
** Emmanuel and Zina in ''The Divine Invasion''. Either that or everyone's crazy, which is equally possible. The two characters have a disagreement over how the world should be run, reflecting perennial mystical themes and Kabbalah.
*** Actually, Manny and Zina are [[spoiler: (aspects of?) God]]. So reality warping comes naturally, kinda.
* Creator/StephenKing:
** ''Literature/{{It}}''.
** The [[Literature/TheWindThroughTheKeyhole last book]] of ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' series introduces Patrick Danville. Anything he draws becomes real. [[spoiler:Also affects anything he erases.]]
* George Orr in ''Literature/TheLatheOfHeaven'' by Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin sometimes wakes up to find that the world has changed to match what he was dreaming about.
* The Incanters and Rhetors in ''Literature/{{Anathem}}''.
* The Ellimist, and his archnemesis Crayak in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', as well as Crayak's servant the Drode.
* Anthony Fremont from the Jerome Bixby short story "Literature/ItsAGoodLife". This story was later adapted as a famous episode of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959''. This depiction of Anthony may be the scariest example of a Reality Warper to date. In the sequel, Anthony's daughter is also a warper--in fact, she's more powerful.
* The title character in the Creator/HGWells short story ''The Man Who Could Work Miracles'' does [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it says he does.]]
* Harold of the children's picture book ''Literature/HaroldAndThePurpleCrayon'' matter-of-factly shapes his world by drawing it with the crayon.
* In ''Literature/FireAndHemlock'', protagonist Polly and her adult friend Tom make up stories together. Those stories have the annoying tendency to come true. Annoying because they are ''heroes'' in them, and Tom is more of a NonActionGuy, who, of course, wouldn't allow a child to come to harm, and therefore has to do the heroic deeds himself.
* Adam from ''Literature/GoodOmens''. Being a child, his unconscious alterations of reality are innocently whimsical at first, albeit with shades of InferredHolocaust... until his destiny as the Antichrist calls. [[spoiler:He manages not to end the world through HeroicResolve and uses his power to prevent a showdown with the Devil himself.]]
** Crowley and Aziraphale, being a demon and an angel respectively, also have reality-warping powers, though to a lesser extent. For instance, Aziraphale can turn cheap rotgut wine into "a perfectly acceptable, though rather surprised" fine older vintage. Crowley can turn the weapons of a management-skills-retreat paintball war into ''real guns.''
* Only the weakest characters in the ''{{Literature/Suggsverse}}'' do not possess this power.
* ''The Pink'', one of Creator/TheBrothersGrimm fairy tales. In the story, the prince is capable of granting his own wishes. Unfortunately [[IdiotBall he's not very smart]]. Upon finding out that the man he was raised by kidnapped him as a baby in order to exploit his abilities, the prince turns him into a poodle that eats hot coals until he belches fire. Then, instead of wishing himself to his real home, he turns his girlfriend into a pink (as in a ''[[http://ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/dianthusarme.html Dianthus armeria]]'' plant) so it's easier for him to travel, and [[TheFool walks all the way there]]. Upon getting home, his mother, who was wrongfully imprisoned for his presumed death, [[DeusAngstMachina commits suicide. His father then dies of heartbreak]]. The kidnapper is sentenced to death, placed in an iron maiden, and rolled down a hill into a river. The prince marries his girlfriend, becomes king, and lives [[MoodDissonance happily ever after]].
* ''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:
** In ''Literature/{{Ravenor}}'' books, the [[LanguageOfMagic Chaotic language]] Enucia is a powerful reality warper.
** In ''Literature/GauntsGhosts'' books, [[spoiler:Soric]]'s psychic abilities conjure up things, including messages in his own handwriting from the future. [[spoiler:When he is imprisoned, they strip him of all effects and his room soon fills with paper nonetheless.]] (Unfortunately.)
* In one story in Lord Dunsany's ''Time and the Gods'', [[NightmareFuel a king offends the gods, so they decide to forget he ever existed.]]
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
** 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]].
** Since [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve people's beliefs and expectations are a supernatural force on the Discworld]], any sufficiently thick-headed individual can become this through AchievementsInIgnorance.
*** One such individual is the general Lord Rust. The man is a total incompetent with absolutely no tactical ability or military knowledge whatever and does not seem to comprehend the utter futility of attacking a vastly superior force on their home ground with virtually no provisions. While this has the obvious result of killing almost every man under his command, Rust is completely unharmed, even though he leads every suicidal charge from the front. By all laws of probability, he should have died long ago. However, Rust has the unusual ability of being able to completely and subconsciously ignore anything that contradicts or is outside his extraordinarily unrealistic worldview by assuming that it simply cannot exist, including physical danger. He has been reported as charging directly at enemy lines surrounded by projectiles without being scratched; arrows have apparently changed direction in midair to avoid him (which then hit his men).
*** There's also "Bloody Stupid" Johnson, an architect [[EpicFail so incompetent his designs warp the fabric of space time.]] The things he designed include Empirical Crescent (a neighbourhood of houses in which you can travel from one house to another without leaving the house you were in despite the houses not being linked), a mail-sorting engine capable of sorting mail that hasn't been written yet or has only been written in alternate universes, owing to the fact that Johnson set pi equal to exactly 3 in order to make it, a pavement that went insane and committed suicide, and a triangle with three right angles (on the Disc, which is noted for being ''non-spherical'').
** In ''Discworld/TheScienceOfDiscworld'', the thinking engine Hex uses the LoopholeAbuse of potentiality to calculate his way into creating some new processing capacity for himself. The narrative Lampshades that this is "garbage, but not ''complete'' garbage".
* In the French-Canadian Folktale of the Duck-Dog, little John, the main character, was given this power at birth by a fairy godmother. The scene is absolutely hilarious as in most well-known versions the godmother is apologetic about giving him this power as she couldn't think of another one. It went something like this: "I can't think of anything specific right now... Here, just take the ability to have anything and everything you want just by saying it. Sorry for the lame blessing."
* One particularly memorable scene from ''Literature/{{Wicked}}'' (The book, not the play) was Elphaba's sighting of a sickly Chistery from across a river. Despite her famous allergy to water, she bucks up and steps into the raging river... only for it to freeze beneath her. When her son recalls this in the next book he cites it as "The world bending itself to meet her will."
* Daniel from ''Literature/TheDangerousDaysOfDanielX'' by Creator/JamesPatterson. He can do most of the things listed in the description, as well as create people. (The only "catch" is that the people must ''once'' have existed. An example is that he often creates his dead parents and his sister that his mom was pregnant with when she died.) He is also a {{Voluntary Shapeshift|ing}}er. The problem is, there are plenty of bad guys around who can do the same thing, and some of them are better at it than he is. And he's just as vulnerable to sneak attacks, ambushes, and underhanded tricks as the next man, and when you're fighting other reality warpers, those tricks can be SERIOUSLY underhanded. For example, the BigBad of the book [[spoiler:gets the upperhand on Daniel by taking the form of a girl, and making Daniel fall for her]].
* ''Literature/{{Sphere}}'', by Creator/MichaelCrichton, has the, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin sphere]], which causes people who go into it to gain this power. Causes all sorts of havoc when people get it who are deathly afraid of giant squids, and so keep thinking about them. Interestingly, the only way to open the sphere up to get inside it is to visualise it opening.
* Jeffty from [[Creator/HarlanEllison Harlan Ellison's]] short story "Jeffty is Five". Albeit his power just works in a very specific way - he stays a five-year-old boy forever, and also preserves somehow the media he loves. His radio plays serial programs no longer produced on radio stations that no longer exist. They are contemporary, all-new shows, however; not re-runs. He can buy comics such as ''Radio/TheShadow'' and ''Franchise/DocSavage'' that are, again, all-new although they are no longer being produced, and long discontinued pulp magazines with new stories by Stanley G. Weinbaum, Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs and Robert E. Howard despite the authors being long dead. Jeffty can even watch films that are adaptations of old pulp novels like Alfred Bester's ''The Demolished Man''.
* Speaking of Alfred Bester, Gully Foyle from ''Literature/TheStarsMyDestination'' (aka ''Tiger! Tiger!'') ends up doing a bit of this.
* ''Master of Space and Time'' by Creator/RudyRucker has a scientist invent a machine that makes him... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Well, guess]].
* ''Literature/TheEyesOfKidMidas'' plays this quite darkly. The artifact that's used to change reality can do anything and everything, as tested when the main character says that two plus two makes five--but whatever it's done, it can't ''undo''. The main character has even less self-control than LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, so by the climax, [[WorldGoneMad reality itself is fragmenting]].
* Anyone who gains access to even some of the power of the Literature/WellWorld computer (or develops an analogous system). The human-built computer Obie has the power to warp a planet. The Well is the operating system for the Universe, and has been rebooted several times (thankfully by the good guys).
* In ''Literature/TheLegendsOfEthshar'' novels by Lawrence Watt-Evans, every other magical discipline follows rules and involves some kind of work, but warlockry, which manifests suddenly in a percentage of the population in ''Night of Madness'', is an ability to do anything effortlessly just by willing it. This power is checked by the fact that every warlock hears an eldritch whispering in their head and feels drawn toward the same mysterious location, and both of these things grow stronger every time they use it. The more they use their powers, the sooner they will end up there, either of their own accord or kicking and screaming through the sky from anywhere in the world. Nobody knows what's there, because nobody ever comes back. Normals who get too close ''become'' warlocks and are immediately dragged in as well.
** Warlockry seems more like Psionics, with most powers focused on the self, but Wizardy, even though not effortless, does seem to have less in the way of limits if you know the rituals to follow. And a single change can have massive unintended consequences.
* ''Literature/TheSecret'', a supposedly non-fiction book that supposedly teaches the reader to do this through [[ThinkHappyThoughts Positive Thinking]].
* "Mr. Sunshine" from Matt Ruff's novel ''Fool on the Hill''. Retired God [[spoiler:Apollo]] who writes fiction by manipulating the lives of people--and his preferred genres are drama and [[TrueArtIsAngsty tragedy]].
* 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)]].
* Damara, the protagonist of Tim Waggoner's ''Pandora Drive'', has reality warping powers over which she doesn't have much control. She struggles to suppress her imagination so that she doesn't unintentionally turn her thoughts into reality, but her power slips out anyway and starts warping reality in accordance with the horrific thoughts of other people.
* Frank Dominio, the AxCrazy AntiHero of Thomas Ligotti's novella ''Literature/MyWorkIsNotYetDone'', becomes this after a bizarre accident. [[FromNobodyToNightmare And boy,]] [[DisproportionateRetribution does he milk it!]]
* Similar to ''Film/TheMatrix'' example above (but predating it), the main character in Creator/SergeyLukyanenko's ''Labyrinth Of Reflections'' gains superhuman abilities in a virtual world after interacting with an entity of unknown origin. He flies, is immune to attacks, and can erase any log he wants with a thought. His powers also extend to the real world, as he can connect to the virtual reality without the use of a computer or an Internet connection. Attempting to get rid of these powers can lead to some nasty consequences, as evidenced by the second book ''False Mirrors''.
* Literature/{{Nightside}}:
** Jessica Sorrow, who believes herself to be the only "real" thing in the world and can subsequently make anyone or anything not exist.
** Madman was potentially even more powerful, as his Reality Warper abilities weren't limited to erasing things, but could alter them at will. His insanity barred him from directing his power to any specific purpose, however.
** Hadleigh Oblivion is another extremely powerful warper, while his kid brother Tommy is a mild one: he can change things only so far as he can make an existential argument that they could've already ''been'' that way.
* The Reality Dysfunction in ''Literature/TheNightsDawnTrilogy''. [[spoiler: The possessors use it to change their environments to fit the area they had lived in, and to form their new bodies to look how they once looked - but the latter turns out to be a rather bad idea, as mutating cells naturally leads to cancer. In general, though, the Dysfunction can create or alter anything the possessors like, fuelled by their wishes and emotions.]]
* In Stormcaller by P.L. Blair, the main character, Kathryn Morales, gains this talent (called Shaping) when she crosses to the Otherside. She actually shapes herself to be Kathryn Half-elven, a former RPG character she'd played, and forgets she's not, unconsciously.
* The female lead of ''Of Two Minds'' comes from a society where everyone can do this. Most people deliberately restrain themselves, but both she and the villain believe that the power should be used to make life better (or at least more exciting.) The sequel takes this a step further: [[spoiler:''everyone'' has the potential for this, but people grew sick of living in a WorldOfChaos, and most societies gave up the power.]]
* All magicians in Gwyneth Jones' ''Bold as Love'' series - from Rufus O'Niall, Fiorinda and Janelle Firdous, the three who achieve fusion and potential Neurobomb status, to barely active crystal-swinging hippies like Anne-Marie Wing - are Reality Warpers with the ability to rearrange "the 0s and 1s" of the universe as it suits them depending on how many other minds' power they're able to hijack at the time. Since having full-blown functional magic in this universe also invariably means having severe forest-fire brain damage and schizophrenia, this is definitely not a comfortable thing to be dealing with.
* ''Literature/LabyrinthsOfEcho'' -- as adepts of the Invisible Magic say, "[[ScrewDestiny The future is pliable]]... and the past too." Max himself has a rare (and [[BlessedWithSuck dangerous to himself]]) power of "the Arbiter": whatever he truly wishes, goes -- "[[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor sooner or later, one way or another]]". An imperfect emulation of this is done via Invisible Magic. Also, as Juffin was told by his [[TheAce older advisor]] and was shown in side-stories, there are creatures using this for a weird rebirth cycle: anyone with power can give them opening and gradually call into life -- from a wizard trying to create the ideal stand-in for himself to ladies talented in magic but unaware of its reality, who imagine one chair in the house they leased is haunted and invent stories about the ghost just for fun.
* [[Creator/KeithLaumer Keith Laumers's]] ''Knight of Delusions'' at one point pits two reality warpers against each other, which ends up reading a lot like a pair of little kids playing pretend at each other and shouting things like "NUH-UH, I'VE GOT NUKE PROOF ARMOR" to ward off attacks.
* ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'': The Cheshire Cat 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.
* ''Literature/MostlyHarmless'': The Hitchhiker's Guide Mk-II. Give it a goal, and not only it has ''already'' been working on it, chances are it made so that '''[[GambitRoulette you gave it that exact goal]]'''.
* [[spoiler:David Rain]] from ''[[Literature/{{Dragons}} The Last Dragon Chronicles]]''. [[spoiler:Although he gets some help from several dragon companions along the way.]]
* The Nannies of ''Literature/{{Idlewild}}'' have this power in the virtual world. Almost always for the benefit of the students. Almost.
* Almost every character in "Literature/{{Warp World}}" has various versions of warping, but of course that is the whole focus of the novel.
* The Librarian in ''Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsImASupervillain''. The exact extent of her abilities is unknown, but it involves giving life to every book and story inside her library. The kids note that the superhero fan sites were ''seriously'' underestimating her power.
* 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/BubbleWorld'', Ricky can do whatever he wants and get whatever he wants in Bubble World, essentially making him a reality warper.
* In ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'', Com Pewter is able to warp reality, but only in the confines of his cave.
* Aslan of ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' is one of these, being literally Jesus in the form of a lion according to the author, though he chooses to let events play out naturally for the most part.
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' novel [[Recap/NewSeriesAdventuresEnginesofWar "Engines of War"]], Borusa briefly becomes this as he goes further into the Tantalus Spiral. Not only can he see possible timelines, he is able to pull possibilities into existence. At the Doctor's command he destroys all trace of the Daleks in the Tantalus Spiral.
* ''Literature/TheReader2016'' calls this manipulation, and it can only be done by those who can read. It's the second tier of illumination: first one is able to see the stories of people and objects, and when they reach Manipulation they can rewrite those stories. In most cases, this is presented as more similar to MindOverMatter, but the execution shows that the person is actually ''rewriting'' the destinations of objects. Like bullets.
* In ''Literature/TheMarvelousParacosmOfFitzFaradayAndTheShapersOfTheId'', 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.
* In ''Literature/TheMachineriesOfEmpire'', large amounts of people following the same calendar will alter reality, allowing for various exotic effects that don't have any basis in physics, like force shields or faster-than-light travel. Moving into different calendric zone - the area where different calendar is followed - makes the exotics stop working, unless you recalibrate them to match the new calendar.
[[/folder]]

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is an [[TheOmnipotent omnipotent being]] capable of bending reality the way she wants it to be, although [[IAmWho she is not aware of this]]. Most of the other main characters are secretly supernatural creations of hers sent on missions to keep her from finding out about her powers, because who knows what she will do, and to keep her from getting too bored and causing TheEndOfTheWorldasWeKnowIt by subconsciously wishing it were different.

* Several Troubled characters on ''Series/{{Haven}}'' have this ability, the catch being that they usually have PowerIncontinence. One character could alter the real world through her drawings. Anything that happens to the drawings happens to the person/object drawn (i.e. if you tear the drawing in half the person gets torn in half). Another was able to create an AlternateReality through wishes, and accidentally created a world where the Troubles never existed by wishing for it.

* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' are bird-spirits with this power. They'd easily be among the Ridiculously Overpowered Warpers if they (or [[CoconutSuperpowers the writers]]) were a little more imaginative.

** Pluma and the other Penna in "The Ghost of Paradise Estate" episode of the original ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' series. At first it starts as advanced shapeshifting - able to take on not just the look but the properties of whatever you turn into, she's more than a winner of the SuperpowerLottery. Then, just add [[MacGuffin the Flash Stone]]. It's best for all involved that for most of the story it's [[DismantledMacGuffin split in half]].

** ''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)]].

* Planeswalkers in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' used to make ample use of this skill before The Mending, which really only dampened their ability. Especially Teferi, who funneled magic from an incoming inter-planar attack to phase his entire homeland out of existence for centuries.
** Although Ixidor was not a planeswalker, he possessed the unique ability to sculpt reality. He used this to create a small kingdom in the desert and transformed his own arm into Akroma, the Angel of Wrath.
*** Ixidor wasn't always a Reality Warper. He used to be an illusionist. Then his illusions became real.

** Wanda Maximoff, thanks to the above, has this as her mutant power - and her magic is inclined towards probability manipulation too. Her blessing on Harry, (in short: he'll always have someone to back him up) makes him a MagneticHero and is strong enough to be detected by Odin.

* In one of the more disturbing {{Story Arc}}s of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', Keiichi starts suspecting himself of being one after [[IWishedYouWereDead several people he wished to see dead died soon afterwards]], eventually culminating in [[spoiler:the ''entire village'']]. It turns out [[spoiler:to all be a series of coincidences, since everyone involved happened to be on the BigBad's hit list. In that very order]]. It doesn't seem so unlikely when you consider [[spoiler:[[GroundhogDayLoop how many times this scenario has been repeating]]]]. ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' implies, if not flat out states, that the cycle was [[spoiler: Lambadelta's doing. She is the witch of certainty and made Rika repeat and die for sure every time. When Lambda got bored and Rika finally broke free, Rika became the witch of miracles, Frederika Bernkastel.]]
* All witches in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' have powers that come down to this. The Endless Magic that Beatrice, Eva-Beatrice, Ange, and [[spoiler:Maria]] use is defined as this. In addition, thanks to the UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat that the entire island of Rokkenjima has been turned into, the red, blue, and gold truths work this role, especially the blue truth.
** 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/ChaosHead'', ''every'' single major character is a Reality Warper, except they call it "Real-booting" and it can manifest in different ways. [[spoiler:Takumi]] is implied to be the only person who can do it on a large scale.
* 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]].
* ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'': Sorcery is described as small-scale reality warping: the magic-user imposes a new physical law onto the world, which is their "spell". Large-scale reality warpers tend to be either an Outer God or a fully powered Demonbane or its rival, Liber Legis. The most impressive of them is probably the BigBad, [[spoiler:Nyarlathotep]] itself, as well as [[spoiler:"War God" and "Elder God" Demonbane forms]].

* Freddy Krueger in the ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' series of films possesses this power. His [[DreamWeaver 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.

* The Adjusters in ''Film/TheAdjustmentBureau'' are able to make minor changes to the environment as long as they are in range.
* 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]].
* ''Film/BruceAlmighty'' -- But, then again, he's borrowing the ability from {{God}}...

* The Beast in the ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'' movies (a composite spiritual entity created by, and mostly represented by, the ghost of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Preacher Kane]], introduced in ''Film/PoltergeistIITheOtherSide'') seems to be capable of this, opening up spatial rifts that lead into other dimensions, warping rooms into AlienGeometries, controlling the weather and bringing everything from toy clowns and trees to braces and mirror images to life. Some of its powers involve [[MasterOfIllusion creating illusions]] rather than truly reshaping reality, but the line between the two isn't always clear.

* In ''Film/TheTraveler'', Mr Nobody has such an ability whereby whoever hears his "confession", it will become a reality. Pretty broken ability for a ghost.

* 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 {{Sufficiently Advanced Alien}}s. 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.

* ''Film/NineSevenSixEvil'': Hoax's demonic powers eventually include the ability to warp the environment, as he turns his own house into an arctic wasteland and opens a portal to Hell in the yard.
* ''Film/FunnyMan'': The Funny Man can apparently do just about anything he wants to the environment if it serves his trickster schemes.

* In ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'':
** Sues, by their very nature.
** ''All'' fanfic writers are this as well, as their words literally cause things to happen in the canon 'verse. In badfic, [[RougeAnglesOfSatin unfortunate spelling errors]] or syntax problems can cause some [[LiteralGenie rather weird things]] to happen.

* In ''Roleplay/FreedomCityPlayByPost'', [[SuperheroSchool Claremont Academy]] Mark 'Edge' Lucas is a powerful Reality Warper who's done things like cover the entire city in a helium balloon and blow up city blocks full of enemies. It's for the best that he was raised by a superhero, and naturally GenreSavvy.
* In the Literature/WhateleyUniverse, there are plenty of examples. None of them are near the AGodAmI levels. Mages of varying power levels can alter bits of reality. Some devisers can build devises that can do it. And then there's a class of mutant powers known as Warper: some warpers can affect space or time or dimension, but none seem to be able to warp reality like a powerful wizard.
** One example is Fractious, who can generate fractures and splits in reality. Normally, she can cut a weapon in half. When she gets upset, she can slice a car in half, or slice the facing off a building.
** Devisors, debatably. If they can come up with a reason why something should work, it will, regardless of the actual physics involved.
** Tennyo is perhaps the most likely to eventually reach god-like levels, in light of the Star Stalker's [[TakingYouWithMe primary purpose]]. When captured by the [[KnightTemplar Knights of the Eternal Presence]], she ''shredded'' reality so badly that it took five nuclear weapons to seal the rifts inside Norad-C.
* ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'':
** During [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] two part ''Adamantium Rage/Comicbook/{{Warrior}} # 1'' review, Dr. Insano uses ''Warrior'' to screw up reality, causing it to reformat every five seconds. Everytime it cuts back to Linkara and Spoony, the scene changes; one minute, they've switched characters, then another, Dr. Insano is reviewing the comic while Linkara has a gun pointed at his head, then another, neither of them can act, and on multiple occasions, different Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses contributors are playing either Linkara or Insano. The best one is the universe that features Linkara and Insano as ''stuffed animals''.
** 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".
* In the ''WebOriginal/{{Paradise}}'' setting, a mysterious force is transforming humans into {{Funny Animal}}s (and occasionally [[GenderBender switching their gender]] as well). It turns out that TheVirus responsible for the Change is not a biological virus, but rather [[spoiler:a computer virus altering reality in a simulation running on a post-Singularity computronium computer]].
* In the ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' there is Quantum, a who can manipulate matter and energy on the quantum level. There is also Dagon, a sorcerer-cum-EldritchAbomination who likes to change any area he's in to match H.P. Lovecraft's darkest nightmares.
* It's sometimes implied that one or both of the main characters in ''WebAnimation/ChickenAndMoose'' has this ability.

* In WebAnimation/{{Cyriak}}'s online animated video "Boogie Math", the little boy warps reality with his dancing. Through his dancing, he distorts his body, ejects demonic clones of himself from his mouth, and eventually melts himself and his surroundings.
* Jeannette, from ''Literature/FunnyBusiness'', can basically do anything she wants.
* ''Series/{{Noob}}'' happens mostly inside a MMORPG and one of the characters is a hacker who is capable of altering the way the game works to a certain extent.
* Characters transformed into cartoons in ''WebVideo/TheCartoonMan'' saga have, as Peter puts it, "the ability to bend reality in the service of humor."

* ''WebVideo/MonsterFactory'' has several reality benders, usually thanks to cheats that allow the [=McElroy=] brothers to give their video game characters god-like powers. The most powerful of these characters is the Final Pam, who can summon millions of bombs out of thin air or turn her husband into a giant battle mech. Her abilities even allow her to instantly kill everybody on screen, and then steal their clothes.
* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': The Possessor Ghost had a role in creating the dimension seen in the first episode.
** Ethan can mold and shape whatever terrain is around him as he pleases.

As a general rule, any animated show that makes liberal use of ToonPhysics 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]].
* Wyatt from ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy''. With his "Why Writer", he literally rewrites the reality of the books he is in, replacing words and phrases with options appropriate for the problem at hand.

* Goo from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' frequently {{lampshade|Hanging}}s, {{subvert|edTrope}}s, and {{deconstruct|edTrope}}s this trope. She's a little girl who can create life by accident. (And somehow she manages not to be too creepy.)
** In this show anyone (at least children) can bring an imaginary friend into being. Goo's the only kid we've met who runs the risk of doing it ''by accident''. If you consider how it takes some imagination and focus to bring an imaginary friend to life (Terrence having to strain himself to create a red block with arms, though that's [[DumbMuscle primarily just because it's Terrence]]), being able to bring dozens to life in detail within a few seconds makes Goo even more impressive.
** Creating an army of them with diverse body types, powers, and personalities...while asleep.
** The surprisingly [[DarkerAndEdgier psychological]] "Foster's Home" made for TV movie "Destination Imagination" gave us a glimpse of what happens when you cause a nigh-omnipotent-within-his-realm character to suffer from ''serious'' abandonment issues...

* The ''WesternAnimation/HeckleAndJeckle'' cartoon "The Power of Thought" deconstructs this trope, as it applies to cartoons, for all it's worth. One of the two Magpies, realizing that they are cartoon characters, causes anything he wants to happen just by thinking of it, and uses the power to bedevil a cop. [[spoiler:The cop finally gets the two in jail by "doing some thinking of my own."]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** [[SdrawkcabName Nosyarg Kcid]], or "Larry", from the episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS2E11Fractured Fractured]]" (an homage to Bat-Mite, mentioned above). And the show goes on to show what happens if a Reality Warper had a PhlebotinumBreakdown (All Robin's fault, NiceJobBreakingItHero).
** Melvin and her [[BearsAreBadNews imaginary friend Bobby]].
** Slightly more over the top is when Raven turns Titans Towers into a horror movie as a subconscious manifestation of her own fear. She never uses it again, but she certainly seems to have shade of it. In general, it would be [[GameBreaker a great deal easier for the heroes]] if Raven could voluntarily do any of the things that can happen when her emotions and thus her powers run wild.
** One episode dealt with a Wizard who had magic that seemed to rival [[Disney/{{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.

* Some Ghosts in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. Notably, Desiree, a Genie-like ghost. As well as anyone who wears the Reality Gauntlet.

* Pluma and the other Penna in "The Ghost of Paradise Estate" episode of the original ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' series. At first it starts as advanced shapeshifting - able to take on not just the look but the properties of whatever you turn into, she's more than a winner of the SuperpowerLottery. Then, just add [[MacGuffin the Flash Stone]]. It's best for all involved that for most of the story it's [[DismantledMacGuffin split in half]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Butters, TheChosenOne... as long as he's in Imagination Land, that is. However, everyone could do that, as it was a massive, pseudo-real lucid dream.
** Kyle also briefly becomes one in the episode "Tooth Fairy Tats 2000," after suffering an existential crisis brought on by finding out the Tooth Fairy isn't real.
* Elyon Brown [[spoiler: aka Queen Elyon of Meridian, and later Cornelia's little sister Lillian Hale]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''.
* Varla, the BarrierMaiden in the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons'' TV series.
** Dungeon Master himself seemed to be this to an extent. He clearly had limits (since Warduke actually captures him once), both some inherent and some self-imposed, but it wasn't entirely clear what they were. When he gave Eric his powers for one adventure, Eric had a lot of trouble learning to control them, but also seemed to gain some valuable insight from the experience (which is presumably why DM did it). DM also warned him that his actions could have unforeseen consequences; for instance, conjuring water in one place could create a drought elsewhere.
* Alien X from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has this as his/her/its main ability. It's quite handy... but it [[BlessedWithSuck only works if Ben and Alien X's two personalities can agree on what to do]]. This happens very rarely, and worst and most dangerously of all ''they quite like having Ben as a tiebreaker, and have more than enough power to prevent him from ever changing back.''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E7TreehouseOfHorrorII Treehouse of Horror II]]" featured a parody of ''The 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.
* ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} is one of the biggest reality warpers of all time, and he does so by punching things. He's punched bulls into freshly cut steaks (with a sign and stand), people into baloney, Indians into nickels, etc, and ripped through the very film he was on, the animators having to stop the cartoon so they could fix it.

* Orson of ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm]]''. He does need to be deliberately using his imagination, and a book helps, though. Either way, if it doesn't merely shut him off to the rest of the world, it superimposes his imagination on a fairly large acreage around him. Those affected need not have known he was reading; they can deduce it from the drastic changes in their surroundings. Reading a book about the ocean? Roy and Wade find themselves at the bottom. A coloring book? Whoops, now they're lineart. Reading "A Pictorial History of Trains", or even just the title? They get chased by a locomotive. But once he's done, it goes away. (If they were in the air, they might still have to fall back to the ground, though.) A notable humourous example is he once read a phone book, and Wade got attacked by an area code.
* Dwayne, a ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' Bang Baby, was able to turn water into cherry soda and create fictional characters with his mind.

* Fred from ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has Bender at the end of "Obsoletely Fabulous" although it's more of him warping his perception of reality. Bender becomes a true reality warper during a later episode where he is overclocked by the Professor's son, Cubert.
* Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. He can make an elevator made out of a bunch of random shit ''that goes to the moon''. [[MindScrew The exit is a microwave, and some of the stuff in the elevator includes a fishbowl, hockey sticks, and anything else you could get your hands on]]. He can also create a rewind button on Edd's hat, helpful when Ed can't quite understand Edd's Technobabble.
** He can also defy gravity, lift entire houses, blow up a house with nothing but the static electricity from rubbing his socks on carpet, clone himself to get an I-beam brought up to the top of the aforementioned elevator, jump at least a thousand feet up in the air, can fly by flapping his arms hard enough, is invulnerable to pain, and can exist in cartoons. When you consider all this, it's little wonder that he almost destroyed reality itself in [[BizarroEpisode 2+2=Ed]].
** In one episode where the Eds are trying to catch a red balloon floating through the sky, Ed manages to make Eddy's [[HelicopterHair hair spin fast enough for him to fly]]. He does this by [[RuleOfFunny pulling Eddy's wallet chain like the starter cord of a lawnmower]], leading to a hilarious reaction from Edd.
-->'''Edd:''' ''(with a look of disbelief on his face)'' Remind me to ask you how you did that, Ed.
** This is mostly because the show operates with ''very'' prominent ToonPhysics, 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 ToonPhysics 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).
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'': According to WordOfGod, Lucius can remake Miseryville on a whim, which is the reason for all the strange things that occur. The reason he doesn't do it obviously is because his {{pride}} [[WeaksauceWeakness would be damaged if he admitted he needed his powers]].
* It's never said, but occasionally hinted that some of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'''s gadgetry borders on this. Particularly the times when it's lampshaded that what they're trying to do is impossible, right before they go and do it anyway.

* [[BigBad Belladonna]] from ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven: The Series'' is a low level one. She was able to teleport most of the cast into a board game (which became a world of it's own) with just a snap of her fingers and this is probably how her VillainSong even makes sense at all (it involved dancing meat). However, it seems she can't directly effect someone's free will or won't.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''
** In the episode "Rainy Day Daydream", everything that Jake imagines becomes real. Finn then has to go through a bunch of obstacles created by Jake to turn off his imagination.
** In "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog", Prismo is a genie who lives in [[PlaceBeyondTime the Time Room]] and can grant any wish you desire.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' are bird-spirits with this power. They'd easily be among the Ridiculously Overpowered Warpers if they (or [[CoconutSuperpowers the writers]]) were a little more imaginative.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Although it was originally only PlayedForLaughs, Pinkie Pie has become a borderline example now that she's using ToonPhysics 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"]]).
** A more malevolent example is Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony, who uses his powers to create a WorldGoneMad for his own amusement. Unlike Pinkie Pie, his powers are ''not'' PlayedForLaughs (well, [[LaughablyEvil not in the same manner]]). He was based on Q from ''Star Trek'', to the point he's voiced by John de Lancie himself. [[spoiler:Fortunately, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe after befriending Fluttershy]], he vows to use his powers for good. [[ReformedButNotTamed Mostly]].]]
** [[FunctionalMagic Unicorn magic]] in general seems to have the potential to become this. Many unicorns don't appear to do much more than use their telekinesis plus a "theme" spell or two, but the variety of effects that the real ''wizards'' among them can spontaneously create with the right spells (which themselves seem more a collection of random effects than they'd follow any actual system or logic that we ever see) is quite dazzling. Alicorn magic is apparently [[PhysicalGod immensely more powerful]].
** Twilight Sparkle has the range of effects but not the raw power of someone like Discord. ''She'' was the one who turned an animal into a fruit, and switched around the cutie marks. (In both cases it wasn't ''quite'' what she was going for.) Twilight's overpowered-if-she-had-better-control powers are explained as most unicorns having magic related to their special talent, whereas Twilight's special talent is ''magic itself,'' giving her an unlimited range of spells (though nowhere near the raw power of the princesses... yet.)
** [[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]].
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E23InspirationManifestation "Inspiration Manifestation"]] is a SpellBook that contains a spell allowing its owner to alter things to match their imagined version of it. Spike gives it to Rarity so she can use it to [[MundaneUtility fix her puppet theater]], which the puppeteer she built it for was disappointed in, but [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity she quickly goes mad]] from the spell's power, planning to alter all of Equestria to match her idea of beauty (which basically means turning everything into a golden, gem-incrusted version of itself).
** There is also [[BigRedDevil Lord Tirek]], who was mentioned by Princess Celestia to be a potential Reality Warper when at full power. Since all aspects of life in Equestria are regulated by ponies, Tirek [[ManaDrain stealing the magic]] of every pony would result in him becoming able to single-handedly control all of these aspects himself. Fortunately for everyone, although Tirek's sheer [[UnskilledButStrong brute magical force]] can allow him to overwhelm even [[MadGod Discord]] (above), he is nowhere as ''skilled'' with magic as Discord is, so "more magic" usually just equals to "'''bigger''' [[WaveMotionGun lasers]]".
** ''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)]].
* Roger of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' is a bit of a subtle reality warper. Whenever he comes up with a backstory for one of his personas, logic bends to his will to make those backstories true. This includes being the birth mother of two fully grown men, and also being the teenage birth son of a human family, complete with pictures of him growing up! When Roger's alter egos are killed, they really are dead; but that doesn't mean Roger is. One of Roger's alter-egos has been seen handling another of Roger's alter egos' bodily remains.

* Some early ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther Pink Panther]]'' shorts had a bit of reality warping.

* {{WesternAnimation/Grojband}}:
** The band's music is capable of raising the dead, bulking up old ladies, breaking a cybernetic network, banishing an evil knight...and basically every abnormal thing that occurs in the series.
** 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 phenomenon happens depending on the emotion.
** Trina and Nick also appear to exert power of bodily functions, while Trina and Mina Trina and Mina can resist sweating and drooling as "it's for farmers".
*** Nick Mallory is able to will away chicken pox as "Nick Mallory doesn'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.
** In "A Knight To Remember" Bonkerton Comet messes with reality when it appears every four years.
** According to the intro video in the website it's shown that the "Wicked Cool Transition" can teleport characters.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'', Alexa's magic and Malucia's magic let them create things out of thin air and change others' appearances, among other things.
* When Creator/SethMacFarlane guested on the season 2 premiere of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', he's portrayed as being such by way of the {{Cutaway Gag}}s his own works popularized.
* ''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]].

* Beetlejuice in ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' is essentially this with his claims on being the ghost with the most.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
** One episode had Stumpy and Quack Quack become this by using [[MediumAwareness animation software to make their own episode of the show]].
** Another episode had Quack Quack develop a singing voice that could warp reality and control people around him to do whatever he sang. The only problem was, the singing voice only affected kids. Mr. Cat, who is physically still a kid but has the mind of an adult, was not affected and used Quack Quack's powers for his own advantage.
* In ''WesternAnimation/XMen'', Kevin/Proteus and his 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.
* WesternAnimation/{{Wallykazam}}: Wally Trollman can do pretty much anything with the magic stick so long as he finds a word with the appropriate sound or letter announced at start. Seen less often, Battle the Witch's broom-based "sweepa sweepa sweepa" spells also appear to have such power.

* [[Anime/HareGuu Guu]] can do anything.
* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' is an [[TheOmnipotent omnipotent being]] capable of bending reality the way she wants it to be, although [[IAmWho she is not aware of this]]. Most of the other main characters are secretly supernatural creations of hers sent on missions to keep her from finding out about her powers, because who knows what she will do, and to keep her from getting too bored and causing TheEndOfTheWorldasWeKnowIt by subconsciously wishing it were different.

* Some fans have a theory that this was [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Sparda's]] main power and Dante, being his son, channels it on a limited degree leading to why RuleOfCool ALWAYS works for him.
* In ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'':
** [[spoiler: Elizabeth is able, from the beginning, to open "Tears", portals, into other timelines and dimensions. By the end of the game, she becomes even more powerful and essentially [[TheOmnipotent the omnipotent being]] of that universe.]]
** 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]].

* ''Videogame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'': "Your power is very honest. It will bend reality around your wish."
* Amaterasu, the [[AGodIsYou protagonist]] of ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', has the power to alter reality with her Celestial Brush. She can use it to slice things in half, fix broken bridges (unfortunately, she still has to deal with [[BrokenBridge that kind]]), [[GreenThumb bloom trees]], climb walls, [[PlayingWithFire light things on fire]], [[BlowYouAway cause windstorms]], and various other nifty things once she [[GottaCatchEmAll finds out how.]] And did we mention that she's not only a ''god'', but a ''[[BadassAdorable Wolf]]''? Chibiterasu, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', also has these powers, although he is purported to be less powerful than Ammy due to being a "new existence."
* Yukari Yakumo, of the ''Videogame/{{Touhou}}'' series, has complete power over boundaries. Not walls or fences, the boundaries between Dreams and Reality, Life and Death, Truth and Lies, Wave and Particle or anything consisting of two opposites. This power goes to comical levels; she can never truly die, as she can simply manipulate the border of Life and Death and be alive again (she also did this to another person), and she once created a portal to the moon by looking into the moon's reflection in a lake, and manipulating the border between truth and lies (turning the reflection of the false moon into a reflection of the true moon, and then using the reflection to target the protected true moon). She's never been truly beaten (border of success and failure, anyone?) in any of the games (this is a series where everyone is a GameBreaker), and instead leads the protagonists on behind the scenes.
** Reimu Hakurei also somewhat counts in that her Last Word "Fantasy Heaven", the most powerful Spellcard in her arsenal, allows her to simply "float away from reality", making any attempt to attack her futile. Thankfully, because battles are largely regarded as games in Gensoukyou, she has a self-imposed time limit to this spell (around a minute). Doesn't really help much considering that this spellcard is considered by some to be the second, if not THE toughest one to beat in the game. According to WordOfGod, however, if she were to ever use this spell without the time limit, it would be impossible to defeat no matter what the method.
** This doesn't say much in a world where people can move at appreciable fractions of the speed of light, invite mortal souls to death, remove a boundary that keeps the place existing, manipulate fate, or just flat out destroy anything, however. If the characters ever really tried to kill each other, whoever went first would win instantly.
** Other characters, though due to either less power or experience are nowhere near the levels of the above two, possess aspects of this trope as well. Shinki (the Goddess of Demons) created the entirety of Makai and its inhabitants, although her rule is not absolute. Remilia Scarlet can [[WindsOfDestinyChange manipulate Fate]], which has some interesting implications, however either she never uses it or it is an unconscious ability. Keine Kamishirasawa can "eat" and hide history, as well as create brand new history in her hakutaku form, however her mastery of it is tenuous at best, and stronger or more perceptive characters can see right through it (for example, in the Border Team scenario of ''Imperishable Night'', while she could successfully hide the Human Village from Reimu, Yukari could see the village and its inhabitants with no problem). Sanae Kochiya possesses the power to create miracles, but each miracle has a casting time, and the truly impressive ones would require days of continuous casting to perform.
** ''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 perceived as a swindler and liar.
* The villain Entropy in ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'' warps reality by merely existing. Since her continued existence would eventually destroy the universe, the heroes had to take her down.
* Alessa Gillespie, in ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
* The G Man from ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' can stop time, appear anywhere he pleases and seemingly create impossible environments effortlessly. Later the Vortigaunts are shown being able to collectively do similar things, even interfering and blocking the G Man from reclaiming Gordon Freeman for a time.

* The JRPG ''VideoGame/MyWorldMyWay'' has something of a Reality Warper as the ''main character'' - a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled-rotten princess]] who becomes an adventurer, and can "pout" to change things (including locations, monsters, etc.) to her liking.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'', you have the power to change the world around you at certain points in stages. This seems like an interesting power. [[spoiler:And later you warp the SugarBowl into a SugarApocalypse.]]
* The first few ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' games revolve the concept of RewritingReality. VideoGame/{{Uru}} and VideoGame/MystV brought this one step further by introducing the Bahro, an enslaved species with the power to warp reality among other untold abilities (ex.: Linking from one Age to another without the use of Linking Books, controlling the weather, and accelerating time). It's possible that Yeesha might be able to do this as well.
* Any weirdness in ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' involving maids, robots, cat girls, [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Attack of the 50 Foot Tsundere]], and 10 year olds [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat suddenly knowing Kung Fu]] gets blamed on the Tatari's Influence. ....despite that's ''not'' [[MagicAIsMagicA how the Tatari worked in the main plot!]]

* The protagonist of ''VideoGame/TheCompanyOfMyself''. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Oh, wait,]] [[YourMindMakesItReal His Mind Just Made It Real For Him]].]]
* Arguably Viki, from the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series. While her teleportation rune explains why she can send people to different places, and her general ditziness means this happens by accident or is done wrongly on occasion, it does not explain why she has the ability to travel through time, entirely by accident, usually after sneezing. In ''VideoGame/SuikodenIII'' you can actually have two copies of her in your party because of this.
* Alf Layla wa-Layla from ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Secret Rings]]'', as he tells you at the beginning of the fight:
-->"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgEj67nrd-g I AM...THE CREATOR...THE STORIES OF THIS WORLD ARE... MINE!]]"
* 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]]]].
* King Blue from ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'' [[spoiler: That's because he is Captain Blue, movie director extraordinaire and the creator of Movie Land]]
* Hemah in ''VideoGame/FallFromHeaven'' does this with dreams. Hemah himself is similar creation of a god's dreams.
* In ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'', Kirby and Yin-Yarn have the power to alter the [[{{Pun}} fabric of space]].
* 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]].
** [[spoiler: “A god — a real god — is a verb. Not some old man with magic powers. It's a force. It warps reality just by being there. It doesn't have to want to. It doesn't have to think about it. It just does."]]

* Sammun-Mak in ''{{VideoGame/Sam and Max|FreelancePolice}}: The Devil's Playhouse'', who rewrites the history of the world to put himself in charge and make everyone love him. And possibly Max depending on whether you believe Papierwaite's or Sam's explanation as to why [[FantasticVoyagePlot Max's insides]] look like a trendy [=70s=] house - Papierwaite says it's this trope, Sam claims Max's insides have always looked like that.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', Master Xehanort is able to ''effortlessly destroy an entire world'' using nothing but his keyblade!
** Xemnas's power over "Nothingness" allows him to manipulate The World That Never Was to his liking, most notably by throwing large sections of the buildings at the player. He's also heavily implied to be able to change a Nobody's type, making him TheDreaded among the other Organization XIII members and allowing him to keep them in line.
** 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 a non-existent surface, giving him the appearance of walking on an invisible ceiling.
** Luxord, being Xigbar's "Time" counterpart, can convert the stage into a TimedMission and force the player into timed minigames that inflict various positive or negative status effects depending on success or failure. Additionally, his weaponized cards and dice can change size and function as {{Pocket Dimension}}s for him to hide in.
** Zexion wields a YourMindMakesItReal version of "Illusion". Additionally, ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'' allows him to briefly convert his book into other weapons during combos, and the Final Mix version of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' allows him to use said book as a portal to an EldritchLocation PocketDimension under his control.
** Sora and Riku have a very mild version of this in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' using the Reality Shift, which has a different effect in each world. Such as rewriting actions of enemies and programs in [[Film/TronLegacy The Grid]].
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesRingOfFates'' it's revealed that this is the principle on which all magic works. One cannot create a fire, but instead swap out the present universe for one that it is identical in all ways except the target being on fire. The number of possible universes are unbelievably vast, but still finite. [[spoiler: The Starsingers on the other hand can choose from any universe at will, allow them to make changes far greater then normal magic users. In the end Yuri and Chelinka surpass even this, becoming true reality warpers capable of creating their own world from scratch.]]
* Apparently, Edea [[spoiler: when possessed by Ultimecia]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. She does things that do not fit into the neat little Final Fantasy magic system of Curaga, Blizzaga, etc. merely by wanting to do so, not bothering with any spellcasting procedures. Things like flying through walls, stopping bullets in mid-air, giving herself an instant haircut without cutting anything (her hair just shortens), mind-controlling an entire huge crowd, and so on. Probably any sorceress is capable of such things, but she's the only one who demonstrates them very visibly. The only other sorceress with a lot of screen-time is [[spoiler: Rinoa]], who is inexperienced and has, really, no idea what she's capable of.
** Low end of the scale at best. Edea's original power set was ice powers, but when she gained [[spoiler: Ultemecia]]'s powers, she gained power over Space and Time.
* The Black Jewel from ''VideoGame/WarioWorld''. The first thing it does upon being freed is destroy Wario's castle and create its own realm in it's place.
* 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'':
** To use extremely esoteric "lore speak", the universe the series' takes place in was created using metaphysical "tonal architecture". Many beings and races throughout the backstory have discovered ways to alter these "tones", creating all sorts of reality warping effects by [[LoopholeAbuse abusing the loopholes]] in reality.
** 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 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]].
** The [[TheOrder Psijic Order]], a powerful MagicalSociety and the oldest monastic order in Tamriel, is another group believed to be capable of this. It is believed that the abilities of the Psijics come from their manipulation of nature itself ("The Old Ways") rather than through the application of [[{{Mana}} Magicka]], like standard magic. However, the end result is largely the same. Still, the Psijics are capable of performing this in ways (and on a scale) which no other extant group in Tamriel is capable.
** [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]] are a [[DragonsAreDivine divine]] species with immortal [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Aedric]] souls, to whom their LanguageOfMagic (referred to as the "Thu'um" by mortals) is so intrinsic to their very beings that it gives them a small scale reality warping effect. Using the Thu'um, dragons can ''[[MakeMeWannaShout command]]'' elements into existence. While it make look like a dragon is, for example, [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]], the dragon is actually channeling magical energy through his words to create fire. When the dragons came to dominate early mankind, mankind prayed to the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Divines]] for aid. Their prayers were answered when they were taught to use the Thu'um themselves against the dragons.
** Achieving [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence CHIM]], essentially realizing that everything, including yourself, is just a dream of [[TheOmnipotent the Godhead]] but having the mental fortitude to exist as one with it, grants this ability. Only two beings in history are believed to have achieved it - the [[OurElvesAreBetter Chimeri/Dunmeri]] [[PhysicalGod Tribunal deity]] Vivec and (MindScrew warning) the being known variously as ([[MergerOfSouls some or all of]]) Tiber Septim/Talos of Atmora/Hjalti Early-Beard/Zurin Arctus/Wulfharth Ash-King. Following the death of Tiber Septim, [[FounderOfTheKingdom founder of the Third Tamrielic Empire]], though an unknown but hotly debated means possibly involving the Numidium and/or the spirit of Lorkhan, the DeityOfHumanOrigin known as Talos came to be the Ninth Aedric Divine. Talos then ([[UnreliableCanon allegedly]]) used this power to change Cyrodiil from a jungle to a temperate grassland, a change that was retroactive, essentially making it so Cyrodiil had ''always been'' a temperate grassland. As well as achieving CHIM, Septim was also Dragonborn, giving him natural use of the Thu'um, and used the Numidium in his conquests. Taking all of that into account, it's not surprising that he was able to conquer all of Tamriel. Beyond CHIM supposedly lie two other states of being: Amaranth and Zero-Sum. Achieving Amaranth means that one exits the dream of the Godhead to create his own reality, while Zero-Sum occurs when one fails to maintain his individuality upon realizing the dream, fading into it and [[CessationOfExistence ceasing to exist]].
** Alteration is one of the series' eight (later six) [[FunctionalMagic schools of magic]], and focuses on very small scale reality warping. It includes spells of paralysis, [[UtilityMagic levitation, jumping, water breathing, water walking, locking, lock opening, feather, burden]], and personal elemental shields such as flame cloaks. One in-game book on Alteration says that the key to using it is to [[YourMindMakesItReal recognize that there is no reality and that by embracing a temporary form of madness to impose one's will on the normal laws of the universe.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'' ends with reality warping on an epic scale. The activation of the aforementioned 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.
** The aforementioned Numidium's main weapon was its ability to literally refute someone or something out of existence. The sheer amount of divine power that drove it, coupled with its embodiment of the Dwemer's skepticism, gave it the ability to take a target, declare "You don't exist," and then ''force'' that statement to become a truth. The only way to counter this is to fight back with one's own affirmation that they do exist and to enforce that truth with one's own force of will and metaphysical power.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', a mage at the College of Winterhold attempts to recreate the event that caused the Dwemer to disappear. He recovers one of the original tools used to tap into the aforementioned Heart of Lorkhan and sets you on a FetchQuest to find something that can simulate (if a little incompletely) the Heart itself. [[spoiler:It leads to him being incompletely wiped from reality. But hey, you get him as a nifty, [[AndIMustScream permanently wailing and hurting]] summon!]]
* Magic in ''VideoGame/{{Arcanum}}'' works this way, which is why it is [[MagicVersusScience incompatible with technology]] - while technological contraptions use the laws of physics and chemistry to function magic alters them to allow the user to, for instance, [[{{Fireballs}} turn air into plasma and hurl it at something]] or [[ThinkingUpPortals more comfortably travel via space-time distortion]].
* ''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.]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' introduces us to the Magikoopa, who can teleport and fire blasts that can transform nearby objects into obstacles, enemies, etc. ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' takes it even further by giving said blasts the power to make the Goal/Axe vanish, essentially making the level unwinnable unless you can kill him.
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' has a rather odd example in Peacock. During gameplay, ''all'' of the playable characters operate under a degree of cartoon physics ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation this being a 2D animated fighting game, it's excusable]]). But in the game's actual story setting, physics function as normal--Peacock is the only exception. Interestingly, this is explicitly defined as a ''power'' of hers; she's managed to essentially ''weaponize'' [[ToonPhysics cartoon physics]], which is what makes her such a terrifying force. Peacock is able to conjure all manner of outlandish objects and weapons out of thin air, teleport via [[PortableHole portable hole]], and summon her imaginary friends into reality to help her fight, among other things.
* 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 paradisiacal 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.
** This is the end goal of the Vex: to effectively establish their existence as a law of physics. And going by what's encountered in the Vault of Glass, they're on the way there, as they have already developed Gorgons, which can define what does and does not ''exist'' within a certain area, and apparently other Guardians have actually been completely erased from time and space when they assaulted the Vault.
* Mages in ''Franchise/DragonAge'' warp the very fabric of reality with their mere existence since each mage is essentially a living, breathing weak point in the Veil. Magical education simply allows mages to focus and control the effects. Mages essentially make the world a little less "real". Templars by contrast possess AntiMagic abilities that reinforce reality. Curiously enough, both make use of [[GreenRocks lyrium]] to augment their abilities.

* In VideoGame/KirbySuperStar's ''Milky Way Wishes'' segment, the 'clockwork star' NOVA is one of these. When Kirby activates it, it simply says, "I WILL GRANT ONE WISH...> " [[spoiler: before Marx hijacks it and goes OneWingedAngel]]. It gets the mother of all callbacks in VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot when, during the final boss fight, Kirby shoots off the Haltmann Works Company mothership's armor— [[spoiler:and the mothership's a NOVA series 'star' itself, which proceeds to try and knock Kirby into next week]].
* ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'': [[BigBad Ruvik]] is this [[spoiler:since the game takes place in his own MentalWorld]]. The fun part? He's a [[AxCrazy psychopathic]] SerialKiller.
* ''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 however many times they like]].
