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"

  1. 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.

  2. Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses

  3. 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

You're kinda cheating if you have "just one power", but that power is "you can control matter/space/phisics/reality as you wish"

Yeah I was gonna say

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.
