"Everything is what I say it is! If I decide that granite is squeezably soft, it is! If I decide that cows have wings, they do! To put it another way, cows do not have wings because I don't want them to! My imagination and reality are virtually indistinguishable! All existence, except me, might as well be a figment of my imagination! Maybe it is! I might have just dreamed all this up, including wingless cows! But then, the whole point is that it makes no difference!"
― The Beyonder (Marvel Comics)

The state of being almost all-powerful. Lesser version of Omnipotence.

Also Called[]

  • Almost Omnipotence
  • Defective/Flawed/Imperfect Omnipotence
  • Limited/Quasi/Restricted Omnipotence
  • Semi/Virtual Omnipotence

Capabilities[]

The user possesses omnipotence-like-power but has a limitation/restriction/weakness that inhibits their potential to become an omnipotent being. The user's near-omnipotence can range from having ultimate or maxed power over a particular domain or having expert-level power, knowledge, and presence over numerous or all aspects.

Despite being limited, the user possesses unimaginable power at their will. Depending on the series, the user's power may or may not backfire on them. Nigh-Omnipotence has various types: Some users are created or born with it and can innately learn their powers like breathing. Some users are awarded and require additional instruction to understand their potential fully. Those who are sealed or fused with it may need to understand their power and how to use it. Some users use supernatural means and can master this with ease.

The demonstration of nigh-omnipotence is not well-proven across all of fiction due to two primary concerns, their morality and the uses of their powers. Users can be a hero, anti-hero, antagonist, in the position of a witch, wizard, chaotic force, tyrant, psychopath, dictator, or any other character in any fictional setting. The second common characteristic of nigh-omnipotent creatures or forces is their behavior and mentality. They can possess features similar to humans, such as selfishness, arrogance, greed, and intimidating or manipulating others because they are "untouchable," even though they are not.

The differences between nigh-omnipotence and omnipotence are the range of applications one character can perform in their franchise. Nigh-Omnipotence is a term for any character that can do anything without severe consequences following them. The user is in a high position in a hierarchy; only beings and forces on the same scale as the user can harm or kill them. Omnipotence, however, is truly limitless, a state of being that no one or anything in the past, currently, or will harm them. Beings with omnipotence are the supreme beings of their reproductive setting, commonly present in monotheistic religions, being God, while users of nigh-omnipotence can use any nigh-omnipotent ability such as divine-level-psionics, being nearly completely immortal or invincible, possessing nearly every power, having nearly infinite knowledge or presence over a subject, and commonly manipulating reality through their mind or another medium, as long as they are not omnipotent.

Types[]

  • Type 1: The users wield nigh-omnipotence via objects/weapons/items that holds nearly unlimited power. These users are almost invincible with their only limitation being that of the object they hold (and usually their arrogance).
  • Type 2: The users who become nearly all-powerful and virtually invincible by transcending themselves into a higher state of power becoming the most powerful being in existence capable of doing almost anything but can be limited to higher beings more powerful than it or just the supreme being as they can be defeated by those beings.
  • Type 3: The users are the most powerful reality warpers who will be nigh-omnipotent over time or after gaining the right control. These users possess a high control over reality, space-time, existence and anything else but yet limited by their natural weaknesses.
  • Type 4: The users are bestowed with nigh-omnipotence via certain almighty forces, almighty objects, or by a supreme being. They can affect reality essentially on a limitless level and control anything, allowing them to achieve almost anything. They may have only one or two weaknesses based on their particular nature.
  • Type 5: The users who are created with or have been given nigh-omnipotence by their creator(s). They can do anything easily and can warp existence beyond their own realm. They are not bound to any rules or laws, allowing them to overcome all of their limitations and weaknesses. They are only limited by their creator(s) and certain almighty laws. Only their creators can defeat them and limit/effect/manipulate/negate their powers. Despite this, they are the most powerful beings in their own realms. They are truly the most powerful nigh-omnipotent beings across all of existence and beyond.

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • The limitations and weaknesses of nigh-omnipotence can vary a lot as the power itself is infinitely diverse with infinite possibilities, variety, types and ways on what it can be. Some can have one weakness while others can have multiple weaknesses.
