* ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet'': Unfortunately for all, Freddy Krueger. Not only can he manifest anywhere in anyone's dreams, but he can also twist the entire dream realm to his warped imagination and kill many, many people over the course of a few days. Beating him in a nightmare is only possible if you can figure out a special "dream power" of your own, and even then that's no guarantee to stop him. By the end of the series, he's already depopulated Springwood's child population and cackles that he can do the same to "Elm Streets" across the globe.

** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', we're given Yondu Udonta, an amoral SpacePirate and OneManArmy whose weapon of choice is a nigh-unstoppable AttackDrone arrow that he controls through a cybernetic implant on his head. When Yondu goes all out, he can kill a ship-full of several hundred people in a matter of minutes. And best of all, he can do all this without damaging any infrastructure if he wants, essentially making him a perfect weapon of mass destruction from a military perspective.

*** In ''Series/WandaVision'', Wanda's powers are upgraded to full PhysicalGod levels. She takes over an entire town, mind-controlling everyone and [[RealityWarper altering reality]] to fit her fantasy world. One of the most powerful witches in the world is ''utterly gobsmacked'' by how powerful she is, and struggles to figure out how she's doing everything. Wanda, however, is only doing things subconsciously, and her conscious control is much more limited. [[spoiler:Agatha eventually determines that Wanda is the Scarlet Witch, the most powerful witch of all time, [[ApocalypseMaiden prophecized to bring about the end of the world]]. Wanda accepts this mantle, gains full control over her powers, and undoes as much of the damage she did over the series as she can. At the very end, she is shown to be reading and studying in order to go from UnskilledButStrong to StrongAndSkilled. Unfortunately, the book she's reading from is [[TomeOfEldritchLore the Darkhold]]]].
---->'''Agatha:''' You have no idea what you've unleashed.
** On the television side, ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' introduces Daisy Johnson, also known as Quake. She can produce violent tremors, which can be used as a sort of telekinetic push, or shatter someone's spine, or bring down a building. A Kree who has studied the Inhuman project theorizes that she might be able to affect entire continents, and in one BadFuture she seemingly [[spoiler:''destroyed the Earth'']].
** Also from ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', there is Alveus, more commonly known as Hive. For starters, it is one of the Inhuman Prototypes created directly by the Kree, rather than having Inhuman DNA being passed down through the generations, like Quake. It possesses corpses, rendering them superhumanly strong and durable with a massive HealingFactor. It can also turn its host's flesh into sand-like spores that it can use to devour any living thing it chooses, as well as infect other Inhumans to add to the HiveMind, allowing it to manipulate them into following its orders. From what we see, Hive is strong enough to withstand electrocution, having multiple bone fractures, being shot repeatedly, and being able to recover from Lash's energy blasts, which have been shown to instantly kill anyone else. Its weakness is fire, which is a moot point since it can just abandon the burnt body and salvage a new one. It is also susceptible to mental attacks, which disorient and confuse it due to its MindHive -- even then, it recovers over a few hours. When Hive is first encountered, it is on an alien world that has been turned into a barren desert with a near-perpetual sandstorm. Hive is quite happy to explain to people that there used to be a prospering civilization that spanned the entire planet -- until Hive ''ate'' everyone.

** Wanda as Scarlet Witch is a SquishyWizard, but in terms of pure power is probably the strongest of them all. She's definitely on the short list of most powerful entities in the world (including the television shows), and her character arc in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' is about accepting that she can't control how people fear her, only how she fears herself. Notably, when Cap performs an illegal mission that has nothing to do with Wanda, Tony immediately asks Vision to keep her at the Avengers compound solely to keep the United Nations placated.

* Aurora/Marie Zorn in ''Film/BabylonAD'' is believed to be a viral weapon at first. In the book "Literature/BabylonBabies" another woman is used in this fashion -- when she comes into proximity with the pheromones of her target, her body rapidly creates a virus that kills several hundred people in minutes, wiping out the upper echelons of the Neolite sect.
* [[spoiler:Andrew]] in ''Film/{{Chronicle}}'' after he snaps. He nearly demolishes an entire city with his PsychicPowers and there is absolutely ''nothing'' anyone [[spoiler:except Matt, who also has telekinesis]] can do to stop him.
* In ''Film/DraculaUntold'', once he becomes a vampire, Dracula is able to devastate entire armies singlehandedly with his supernatural powers.
* Paul Atreides in the Creator/DavidLynch film ''Film/{{Dune}}'' is capable of calling gigantic sandworms, using the voice and using sonic weapons without the weirding module. His name is a killing word.
* A bit downplayed in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''. Though still '''very''' destructive and tending to take out whole cities in his fights, Godzilla doesn't cause as much destruction as the Mutos do during the film and takes some effort not to plow through everything in sight.
* Liz Sherman of ''Film/{{Hellboy}}''. The harmless-looking girl is the one who as a child lost her temper and destroyed an entire city block and everyone on it (except herself).
* ''Film/{{Looper}}'' has [[spoiler:Cid]], an extremely-powerful [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] who can level city blocks when angry or upset and crush people like lemons. Later on, he learns to control this power and becomes [[spoiler:the Rainmaker]].
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'': A number of powered people (especially the Avengers) are extremely dangerous, to the point that they can literally fight entire armies.
** Tony Stark as Iron Man technically counts, but the world generally gives him a pass because he can always take off the suit.
** Bruce Banner as Hulk is a much straighter example since he can rage out at any time and the only thing that has ever stopped him is Tony's Hulkbuster armor. This gets worse in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', when he is driven into a mad rage by Wanda's powers.
** Thor is arguably a god, and definitely a superhuman alien who is considered extremely powerful even by their standards.
** Vision is an ArtificialHuman with a wide range of abilities granted by an alien artifact implanted in his skull. He's a bit too dorky for people to really be scared of, but at the very least he's NighInvulnerable with the ability to fire energy beams that can cut through steel like cheese.
** Wanda as Scarlet Witch is a SquishyWizard, but in terms of pure power is probably the strongest of them all. She's definitely on the short list of most powerful entities in the world (including the television shows), and her character arc in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' is about accepting that she can't control how people fear her, only how she fears herself.

The only time where he shows how potent a RealityWarper effect he can achieve is near the end of ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'', where Neo escapes an exploding building, flies at such speed that virtual reality literally ''bends and breaks'', with cars and debris ripped, pulverized and dragged behind him. After [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou catching Trinity at super-speed without killing her]], Neo uses his powers to reach into her body to revive her after she dies in his arms from an Agent's gunshot wound.
* ''Film/SpiderMan3'''s Flint Marko / Sandman is literally a natural disaster, able to become things such as a sentient sandstorm and an enormous {{Kaiju}}.

This makes him effectively bullet-proof, [[MoreDakka rocket and grenade-proof,]] [[ImplacableMan and can even absorb the energy of your punches, no matter how strong you are.]] [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld He also states that he is effectively immortal.]] Finally, he can absorb enough energy to simulate a nuclear bomb blast... and presumably come out the other side unharmed.
*** Havok is fearful of the damage his powers could do if he isn't kept isolated, and so prefers being in solitary confinement while in prison so he is at less risk of hurting someone by accident.
** ''Film/{{Deadpool 2016}}'': Negasonic Teenage Warhead destroys a large part of the scrapyard with her last attack, capsizing the grounded helicarrier and sends Angel Dust bouncing around like a pinball.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': En Sabah Nur is so powerful that, when he wakes up from his 5500-year-long slumber in Egypt, the energy release can be felt in ''Germany''. He single-handedly razes the city of Cairo to the ground with his MindOverMatter powers, potentially massacring millions of its inhabitants. [[spoiler:He is defeated once Xavier gets the young Jean Grey to unleash the full extent of her powers as the Phoenix.]]
** In ''Film/{{Logan}}'', Transigen Security Chief Donald Pierce pointedly reminds an aged Wolverine that the HSA considers the brain of an elderly Professor X, whom Wolverine has been caring for, to be a weapon of mass destruction.
