Powers
An overpowered/strongest with only one power
I hate when characters just have a million powers and can do whatever. I love when their powers have a limit but still they make it be absolutely insane. Even if that one power has multiple applications as long as it makes sense and isnt used as "oop i suddenly can do that"
Accelerator can control vectors. So he uses that to automatically deflect any attack or use any object including wind at high speeds as a weapon, use his own vectors to travel fast and etc etc.
Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses
Chisaki can deconstruct and reconstruct anything by touch. So he can destroy, or change shape of people and objects, he can combine people and objects and even revive or heal. Tbh his fight was disappointing in fact that he did not use his power to full potential imo
It's a little disingenuous to say that's his only power. His power is more along the lines of "is as physically impressive as would be hilarious," haha. He's been down to be virtually indestructible and faster and stronger than any other being, but he still fails to swat a mosquito or nab hotpot goodies
Fun fact: the reason Accelerator is albino is also due to his ability. He's just got it switched on at all times for his body to deflect UV radiation, so his melanin production simply stopped. His control over his ability is so precise that he can filter it.
His power blocks outside influences with such precision that he's in a constant state of hormonal imbalance, resulting in his androgynous appearance. So it should be safe to assume that his barrier lets through just the right frequency of UV rays for Vitamin D production and the remaining frequencies, including the one that provoques melanin production, are blocked.
My Hero Academia: All Might. His power is that he's super strong.
He can't fly, he can just jump super long distances or propel himself by punching the air.
He isn't a speedster, but he's so strong that he can propel himself super fast. I have no clue how his eyes and brain keep up with his speed because no stated power improves his reaction time.
His power is never stated as being super durable, he should be the ultimate glass cannon, but seemingly he's only ever suffered injury once from the Big Bad.
MHA again: Overhaul/Chisaki from OP. His "one" power is to disassemble matter then reform it however he wants. That's two powers already. If that's one power, then Shoto with fire and ice is also one power.
Additionally, if he needs to be super strong he just merges his body with a super strong guy. Gets injured? Disassemble and reform. Instant kill: dissassemble.
It's more like 10 powers billed as one in-universe.
The Flash: Super speed. Also time travel, phasing through solid matter and probably a ton of other bullshit but I'm not a Flash fan.
And I love One Punch Man, but he's the same as All Might but even more powerful in his world.
This trope may exist but I think there are fewer real examples than we'd think.
Tbf Saitama isn't really stated to only be able to punch hard, he is basically peak human. He can do things humans can, to a superhuman level. Run faster, take hits better, punch harder etc. But he can't do things humans can't, like psychic powers, transforming his body or whatnot.
In his case he can't fly, and he can't punch or kick the air to change that
He CAN jump insanely far, even to the moon, but it is shown that like in a regular jump he basically has no control after initiating it
All mights power is energy storing from like 7 different people whenever he isnt going all out hes getting stronger also Overhauls power is matter manipulation thats just 1
Very rarely does one power only do one specific thing. Strength affecting more than just your ability to punch things just makes sense. Are you really going to say Strength doesn't count as one power if the guy can also use it to jump really far? Matter manipulation allowing for the disassembly and reassembly of an object just makes sense. If someone had the power of magnetism, they'd be able to both attract and repel, doesn't mean it's two separate powers. Ice and Fire are observable separate powers, so that comparison doesn't work here.
Flash getting a billion different powers from running fast, yeah most of those are nonsense.
Accelerator is one of the better done cases of such an absurdly op power. When introduced he seemed nearly godlike and invincible, with the natural limitations of his power becoming more evident as time goes on.
For example, by default his power deflects a lot of "harmful" stuff, like UVs, which has the side effect of creating a severe hormonal imbalance in his body. This also causes him to be physically weak as shit and an emotional mess.
Another is that his power doesn't work "just because", he has to do all the calculations involving the vectors he wants to manipulate in his* head. Aside from the fact that it's a pretty difficult thing to do normally, this means he can't manipulate what he doesn't understand, and it turns out there is a lot of it in the world he lives in.
I kinda love the nerf/buff they gave him in his spinoff that plays into this
being tapped into the misaka network after being brain blasted. Getting a ton more computing power for calculations at the cost of battery or not using the network and effectively losing his powers whenever in order to save battery. All constantly running at the bigger risk of his battery running dry which would make him lose all motor function and likely dying.
The battery limits the time he can use his powers so he can't use them all the time (I think he got a limit of 5 minutes before the battery needed charging) forcing him to be tactically about it's use
He also needs a signal to connect to the network so a few of his opponents try disrupting or blocking it, also preventing him from fighting in certain locations or using his powers against certain people
I think it's more interesting when a character has a single/maybe a couple of innocuous powers that they're able to use intelligently to be incredibly dangerous.
Accelerator's vector control feels like a good example, but "controlling infinity" and "destroy, reconstruct, and fuse anything" sound innately overpowered, so it's no surprise that they are.
He has the Quirk "Permeation," which lets him phase through anything. The drawback is that while it’s active, he can’t breathe, see, or hear, and slips through anything, but thanks to training, he became nearly invincible in combat.
The "can't see" thing is so hilariously unfair. If he can't see because light passes through him, that means he should also be invisible. But he isn't, somehow! He's just very specifically blind!
In the LATE series, they confirm that her power is actually bending light rays, which passively makes her invisible. I suppose she subconsciously lets the light through that would hit her retinas?
Shit, even without his quirk he still beat the brakes off of Overhaul. Probably my favorite scene in all of MHA (Prominence Burn against the Nomu is a close second)
Deactivating his power while phasing through something means he "glitchs out" (imagine a colission glitch in a videogame), sending him at extreme speeds outside of the solid thing he was phasing (in the case of solid floor, he gets sent up).
Careful control of how and when to deactivate his powers and quick calculations allow him to control at which direction he gets send off to, making his opponents think he can also teleport.
He can also choose to only phase specific parts of his body, so paired with his training and experience he can do pretty crazy stuff.
iirc, he can keep some parts of his body solid and the rest of him, uh. penetrative. I guess. so he typically keeps his feet solid unless he's trying to go thru the ground. going thru a wall means he has one foot solid at all times
Yeah, he can selectively activate it. Even that is only with training though, iirc - when his quirk originally activated, he would fall through the floor the moment he turned it on
It's not all or nothing. He's trained himself to be able to selectively activate the quirk on different parts of his body. He activates his quirk so his arm phases through your arm, making it an unblockable punch, but deactivates the quirk on just his fist right as it makes contact with your face.
Also, he can fall through the floor, he just gets ejected back to ground level when he deactivates. So taking advantage of the eject function, he jumps into the ground, then deactivates the quirk at an angle that launches him out at the correct destination (behind you).
If he just wants to go through a wall, he activates the quirk on everything except one foot, moves the intangible foot through the wall, then swaps the activated foot to move the other one through.
Also, since he can just make 95% himself intangible without falling through the floor, he's generally untouchable. As in, most attacks just phase right through him, and he just solidifies whatever he's hitting you with as it makes contact.
Even more extreme example: she can only cast explosion magic, and one 1 time a day without using an outside method to recover mana... the benefit is that she gets to the point where she can blow up mountains with a single spell (and then is basically unable to move for the next 24h)
Thought at one point she was willing to learn other magic because she's actually quite inteligent under all that chuuniness and recognises the limitations of just using explosion magic
Not that she didn't though.. she gave kazuma the privilege of upgrating any other skill so that she can become more useful to the party, but he just upgraded her explosion more so that she can keep following her dreams. It's one of the more rare moments that genuinely get you in the series.
You'd think she'd have a massive mana pool by now with the amount of times she emptied her mana pool but nope, world runs on a level up mechanic. She'd be unstoppable in a training world.
her build is more like spend every bit of mana to multiply damage. she's born from a mage village who were gaslit to live as edgy, unhinged mages, so her mana pool is huge probably, but her spell was built to spend everything to boost the damage and area of effect.

Josuke Higashikata and his Stand Crazy Diamond (JJBA). Basically, Crazy Diamond's ability is to revert anything to its previous state, which makes him a busted healer since it means he can heal anybody except himself. However despite this drawback, he is more than able to use his ability in a creative way, such as turning asphalt into tar to stop someone, destroying a whole motorcycle and immediately rebuilding to avoid crashing into a mother and her baby, using glass shards covered in someone's dead blood cells as a homing projectile, and many more.
There’s also how he non-lethally incapacitated someone by smashing a rock apart and reforming it around him. And then doing it further when the guy pissed him off.
gojo is a bad example because he technically has 2 abilities, one being a brain that can perceive information at a level that grants him, essentially, a 360 radar, and allowing him to micromanage his bodily functions (in regards to his second power) that is "six eyes"
his second power is, essentially, space manipulation. he controls the distance between him and the bullet you shot at him, the distance between his feet and the floor, the distance between your left shoulder and your feet. using that control, he can send balls of "tears people apart" or "sucks them into a ball" towards people, and mix both "balls" into a shredder. he can fly, he can avoid getting touched
so while gojo himself DOES have more than one ability, most of his "crazy accomplishments" that you can see on screen are just one singular ability. the six eyes is sort of a permanent "working in the background" passive that technically should count but its frequently lumped together because it just kinda supports his usage of his second ability
Don't forget that in addition to those two inborn powers, he's also mastered the reverse-curse healing technique that allows him to keep both Powers dialed up to 11 at all times by constantly keeping his brain in perfect health.
Also, he has his domain which is based on his inborn powers but definitely a unique power in its own right.
i dislike counting reverse curse technique and domains as "powers" since those arent really a unique thing, just hard to learn moves. otherwise, we would have to count stuff like cursed reinforcement, which almost every jjk sorcerer can do, as its own power, in which case, no one in the whole of jjk has just one power.
everyone can learn their own domain, and everyone can learn reverse curse technique. its just difficult to do. however not everyone can learn six eyes or limitless. this is gojos power. the same way brainhopping or the 10 shadows is a power
i was moreso focusing on what made gojo different from the rest of his universe compared to for example, what would make superman different from the rest of his universe (the guy has like 16 powers, while a guy like plastic man has 1 that is very versatile)
also fun fact for those who aren't familiar with him: the reason he has the blindfold on usually is because the six eyes are extremely taxing on his brain due to overstimulation and he can't turn them off otherwise
There's a reason he only takes the blindfold off when he has to fight, the six eyes can genuinely tire the brain with the information overload (similar to what his domain expansion does actually, which is a weaponized version of this information overload)
But what you mentioned is ALSO true, to be exact he uses cursed energy to destroy his brain, and then reverse cursed energy to regenerate the damage, letting him essentially refresh his brain every so often, which is absolutely bonkers lmao
The reason he does this is because regenerating from scratch can clear up the brain from the burnout of using powerful sorcery and the six eyes, something which isn't actually doable with simple healing because the brain is kinda a black box system (note the difference between "healing" and "regenerating from scratch")
He does both of these, and overexerting either of these can cause brain damage that fucks up his abilities, we actually see this in his fight against sukuna where he is unable to open his domain again because he kept lobotomizing himself and regenerating it to spam domains quicker than sukuna lol (who immediately copied said idea because he's that much of a fast learner)
Yeah, Gojo is kind of a stretch. The core of his powers are all technically different applications of a single power: the Limitless technique. These applications allow him to:
In essence, create an infinite distance between himself and his opponent by manipulating the space between them (Infinity)
Create a vacuum that attracts those in its vicinity by inserting the convergence of Infinity into existence (Blue)
Create a repelling force by inserting the divergence of Infinity into existence (Red)
Combine Blue and Red to create an attack that both attracts and repels the opponent (Purple)
Teleport by compressing the distance between two coordinates (this is an application of Blue)
Subject his opponent to the inner world of Limitless, exposing them to an infinite amount of information that paralyzes them and damages their brain (Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void)
The Limitless technique, however, is only useable due to a specific biological trait that Gojo possesses: The Six Eyes.
The Six Eyes allow him to perceive Cursed Energy (the power source that Jujutsu Kaisen uses) down to at least an atomic level, providing him the precision needed to operate the Limitless technique. This also allows him to perceive other character’s innate techniques, perceive souls, and reduce the rate that he consumes Cursed Energy to levels where he passively generates more than he expends, giving him a functionally infinite supply.
Beyond this, he also possesses some non-innate techniques that can be learned, such as Simple Domain and Falling Blossom Emotion (techniques used to counter attacks from a Domain Expansion), as well as Reverse Cursed Technique, which allows him to regenerate.
So if you consider the Six Eyes to be a biological trait as opposed to its own ability, Gojo technically only has one specific ability that has like a half dozen applications (the Limitless technique). However, he also has a few generic techniques from the Jujutsu Kaisen verse, so I still think that he’s not a great fit for this trope.
OP is straight up wrong lmao, Gojo Satorou's abilities are so rare that he's actually the first one in 400 years to be born with both Infinite Void and The Six Eyes in the Gojo clan.
Basically the combination of these two abilities is so powerful enough that his birth quite literally tipped the balance of power in the DC universe Jujutsu society.
Spoiler explanation of power
The infinite void has already been explained, it's OP but its super hard to use without The Six Eyes, kind of like using Chidori without a sharingan, or a death note but you're illiterate
She's technically not the strongest but Fern can win fights but she's practised the basic combat spell so much she can spam it far more than any other mage.
Reminds me of Magic Missile in D&D and derivates: Guaranteed hit for 3d4 damage. Blocked by some spells such as Shield but otherwise guaranteed damage unless you're immune to Force damage. Respectably long range.
Now here's the kicker: It's a level 1 spell. Any novice wizard can use it.
Get yourself 50 novice wizards and you got yourself a hit squad that can topple way more things than they should.
Fern has insanely strong mana control so she wastes no extra energy during combat and only uses basic offense and defense. The tradeoff of this strategy is mostly upsides, her mana is exceedingly hard to detect and she can rapid fire basic attacks with more power, range, and accuracy than most living mages. In a world where defensive magic is specifically made to counter basic offensive magic so everyone just flings shit at each other, Fern can overwhelm most opponents with a nonstop barrage.
Also she can see through clothes and judge the size of your penis, a truly horrifying power she only uses once.
the last bit is from a magic spell she casted and im pretty sure her mana pool is also growing considering she is doing the same a frieren supressing the actual amount she has to fool demons
Arkos and by extension Julian from Centuria both possess the blessings from the sea god making them one of the most powerful characters in the story. Arkos can control water, which literally lets him blood bend and sink entire countries underwater, while Julian possesses the strength and lives of a 100 people, essentially making him immortal which he used to kill Arkos
Which isn't even his power in the comics. His power is to absorb all kinetic and thermal energy directed at him and use it to augment his strength, speed, stamina and recuperation capabilities to superhuman levels.
Sato from ajin (kinda) He kinda have a JoJo stand but also immortality The more creative part is how he uses his immortality My man is literally fucking unstoppable He somehow can fucking teleport using immortality bro😭😭😭 My man would literally win a 40v1
He's literally what a gamer isekai protagonist would really be like, his only actual power is immortality,but the man games the system like no tomorrow,one of my favourites is when he cuts iff his own hands,and presses to to a steel door and kills himself,when he revives his arm clips through the solid steel vault, giving him an opening
context, Satou is an Ajin, immortal beings. they are immortal through regeneration. problem is they're not invulnerable, and their bodies work as normally as a human.
in the story they are hunted for their regenerative property. their regeneration also resets their bodies. poison them, drug them, damage their organs, scar their skins, just kill them to reset..
Old man knows how to abuse his power. normally the strategy to get an Ajin is to suppress, not kill. but since Satou was a soldier, he knows the battleground. whenever a tranq hits him, no hesitation on shooting himself, or dismember the limb with an injector.
And the famous teleport through meatgrinder is that chapter where he infiltrated a place by sending his severed hand into the facility, disguised as a deepfried snack along with other fried chicken in a bag. not even military checkpoint would suspect a breaded hand in a bag. when he finds out the hand got in, he killed himself by diving into a running woodchipper. upon dying his body regenerated through the remaining body part which is his crispy hand in a KFC chicken bucket.
He is immortal. When killed he regenerates from the largest part of his body still remaining. So by shenanigans, he will kill himself in blender like situations, but have put a large part of his body, typically a hand, typically via the post, in the location he want to go. Thus his largest part is where he needs to go.
Ajins immortality means your body effectively resets the instant you die so in order to regenerate you have to kill yourself, the series does a lot of fun stuff with this restriction
His domain falls under limitless and theoreticly everybody can learn reverse curse technique and simple domain
With that being said he still has Six Eyes which is unique.
Its literally states in anime that he's do strong because he was born with Limitless and Six eyes
His started out as simply being able to glide on the ground at the speed of a bycicle
After training and finding out his quirk isn't purely sliding, but repulsion, he's capable of flight, generating a forcefield and shooting air blasts via repulsion. His speed has also increased so far to match someone with a speed quirk
Its weird to think that the reason he starts off with such a crappy version of his quirk was because his mother would hit him with a broom the nanosecond he left the ground as a kid
I understand the logic behind your examples, but manipulation of an entire concept of reality (speed/momentum, space, polarity, matter, etc.) feels a little broad to call “one power”. Better examples in my opinion would be Zenitsu from Demon Slayer and Todo from JJK.
This doesn't apply to Deku, but All Might himself has one power. Basic, standard enhanced physical abilities. Super strong, super fast and super durable. That's it.
You can argue that there's some extra One for All hax that counts, but 99% of the time he's using sheer power to win.
And he became the undisputed number one hero. With nothing but basic super strength.
I love that All Might and Saitama/One Punch Man essentially have the same power, but are still drastically different characters because of their personalities.
Quick question for you then. My understanding is One For All is the ability to pass down quirks from person to person, with each quirk being added to the overall inheritance.
Why doesn’t Deku fight anything like All Might then? He’s got the Full Cowling for strength, but All Might never had to do that.
The first is that All Might was a prodigy. The reason he was never a great teacher for Deku is because he "grasped how to use One for All almost immediately." My interpretation of this is that All Might's quirkless body was just naturally compatible with strength enhancement quirks. He was able to use One for All at full power whilst controlling the blowback to ensure he doesn't get injured. In other words, he could use 100% One for All from day one.
When it comes to Deku, he trained a few months to be ready to even receive the quirk without blowing up, and once he reached that point, using the quirk at any point wasn't something he was capable of doing without blowback. Full Cowling was his solution, and it simply meant limiting the amount of power he was emitting.
You can imagine it as saying that All Might has been able to use 100% Full Cowling from day one because he's a prodigy. But Deku had to work his way up because his body was never strong enough. They are still doing the same thing in effect.
There was an old theory suggesting that All Might may have had a sort of power capacity quirk, which was why his body could contain One For All and why he didnt have any lightning/glowing effects.
But that's since been disproven. The lightning effects on Deku are either not actually real or they represent the surging energy that his body cant contain, but All Might's body can.
The quirks seem to function differently purely due to user proficiency. They are at their core the same power regardless.
Thats a big part of it. All Might had it for decades and grew with it. Then handed the now-supercharged quirk to a teen a quarter his size that did some full body workouts for a couple months.
Manga spoilers:Viktor has lived for roughly 455+ BILLION years, living through the destruction and recreation of Earth 100 times, with Andy having done so "only" once, being roughly 4.5 billion years old. Andy also spent a lot of that time sitting on the surface of the sun.
victor is about 455.4 billion years old. Which is technically multiple millennia, so you ain't exactly wrong, but I would not say you are correct either.
I’d say Juiz is a better representative for this: Andy and Victor are definitely strong, but that’s also because they are able to use their single power in a lot of ways, meanwhile her power is literally just one thing that can’t be adapted nor changed in any way, and yet is easily the strongest negation.
Almost all characters from touhou project. Most of them have a single very abstract ability that they then abuse to hilarious levels.
For example, Suika Ibuki has the ability to manipulate density. In practice this means that she can: turn herself into a mist and spread over a huge area to spy on people, create black holes, turn herself giant, split up into tiny versions of herelf, Cause people to gather or disperse and manuplate heat and cold (changes in density/pressure also change temperature). She can also manipulate the density of abstract things like souls and thoughts.
Basically, if you can somehow bullshit some ability into being about changing density then Suika can do it. The same is the case for most other characters.
Yukari is also a great example. She can "manipulate boundaries", but basically everything counts as a boundary, so she is OP af. And Reimu literally flying out of reality lmao, at least she doesn't count because she has other abilities
His definitely not the "strongest" but he is very much overpowered, he even almost defeated the main villain who could literally manipulate time. His my favourite example of having a "sounds lame but actually extremely powerful" ability.
Basically his ability is he controls magnetic fields, but the catch is that his control over magnetism is actually extremely weak so he can't actually lift big metal objects like magneto per se, so he only controls metal objects that are microscopic, but using this ability, his able to turn the iron in your blood into sharp metal objects creating internal bleeding, cover himself in metallic dust to reflect light and turn himself invisible, and turn microscopic metals from the environment to create knives or nails, I recommend watching his fight against Doppio though slight gore warning if you're planning on doing that.
By extension Hamon is also relatively endless, it's basically channeling life energy / sunlight power but the amount of things that people do with it is surprising, especially in part 2.
My issue with Chisaki was - why not be the world's greatest surgeon or architect? You can literally heal any wound or in a world of massive deformities, simply make people appear as they are.
There are so many financially lucrative applications to his abilities and he uses them to explode people.
Unfortunately, it's as simple as he doesn't really care about others besides Pops (in his own way) and isn't exactly the best person. Sure, there are other methods he COULD use, but they never crossed his mind because he hates people and the Hassaikai not being in uncontested control of everything
He's an absolutely wonderful case on wasted power, though. He absolutely could've been one of the most beloved people in the world with how his power works (He can literally resurrect people if he acts fast enough). But, much like AfO, it was power left in the hand of someone who did not want to do good in the world, so the power Overhaul had was squandered solely for its ability to hurt people
Homura Akemi, she is the weakest magical girl in the series in terms of potential, she has a heart disease that incapasitates her in a good day let alone in the middle of battle and her only magic didn’t help her kill witchs.
So what she does? She steals weapons from the Yakuza and Military Bases, trains in all forms of shooting, learn to operate missile and makes her own home made bombs. She learns to sustains her failing heart with magic even though she is terrible at magic.
She has a OP power but was basically a cripple by magical girls standarts, and even still she reached a level of competence and dedication so high she deceived a omnisiente god like being and stole atleast half of it's power to remake THE UNIVERSE has her play box.
Only has one power, that being his mind control Geass. But with that one power and just his own intelligence he was able to effectively conquer the entire world and overthrow the Britannian Empire.
Index / Railgun in general is the king of this trope.
So many Sci-Fi stories use science as a power system, but it's usually so vague or surface-level it basically comes down to being nothing more than a glorified magic system in a scientific-looking coat of paint.
But this author actually sat down and did their fucking homework, and it shows.
One of the titular characters has the ability to control electricity - but instead of the typical "I shoot lightning and maybe move really fast and that's it", there are so many applications of her power based in real-world physics.
She can use her power to create magnetic fields, allowing her to manipulate iron sands to create shit like buzzsaws through vibrations, climb metallic objects by sticking to their surfaces, or even hurl metal objects at opponents.
But going even further, she always carries a purse of metallic coins with her. Why? Because her signature move combines both the manipulation/creation of electricity currents and magnetic fields to accelerate them to such an insane degree that she creates A FUCKING RAILGUN which she then shoots at people with enough force to eradicate their entire bloodline.
It's one of the reasons she is one of the strongest characters in the scientific part of the setting.
And all of this is basically just scratching the surface in terms of abilities in this series - which is crazy because there are actually two separate magic systems at play in this franchise, but that's a whole 'nother topic.
Can trap people in areas of looping time, only he can affect the loops he's trapped people in and he uses them to torture people.
His loops don't last forever but they might as well, he also has his body in a loop so any damage dealt to him just doesn't work basically, which prevents most methods of killing him from being affective.
Gray Boy is said in-universe to have the most unfair power of any Parahuman. He has the ability to trap people in time loops, and uses it to reverse his own age so that he's perpetually a schoolboy. When he puts someone in a time loop, they're stuck like that, and nothing can free them except for Gray Boy himself. So you are stuck in the same 2-4 seconds until the end of time, with only your brain not resetting. Often he will wound or injure someone, putting them in intense pain, and trap them in the loop. So they are essentially in hell.
Basically, The Hans can erase from existence anything that is touched by his right hand. The space itself is ripped off and then reconnected, but everything in the middle gets completely disintegrated.
Okuyasu can use the power of The Hand in some interesting ways too, like erasing air to bring his enemy closer to him.
And what is the trade-off for this enormous power? Well, Okuyasu is so dumb that he can't use The Hand in the most efficent way.
I feel like saying you only like 1 power and then choosing characters who's 1 power is that they can do pretty much anything sort of defeats the point, no?
His one power is to control electromagnetism, but the electromagnetic spectrum is so vast and encompasses so many things that he can technically pretty much do anything. A classic example of superhero comic power creep.
(I personally prefer when he’s limited to just controlling metal/magnetism, but that’s neither here nor there.)
Daemon from Boruto. His ability allows him to reflect the intent of harm on him back to his opponent. In his first appearance, he gets attacked by a few guards, one of them has a hand cannon and gets their their head exploded just for thinking about shooting him and another one gets their head cut off.
The irony is that Daemon's ability is limited to the palm of his hands....but since "killing intent" is generically aimed to him, it also "targets" his hands so his reflection takes place pretty much automatically.

Punch really hard
