Note: This is a list of features/abilities, not a list of characters by their feature/ability.

Fiction traditionally features characters with superhuman, supernatural, or paranormal abilities, often referred to as "superpowers" (also spelled "super powers" and "super-powers") or "powers". Below is a list of many of those that have been known to be used. Some of these categories overlap.

Contents

Means

Examples of ways in which a character has the ability to generate an effect.

Inhuman nature

These powers are native to the non-human or partially human nature of the character. This includes, but is not limited to, characters who are aliens, demons, and/or gods.

His true form is his fourth form (Dragon Ball Z manga, vol. 10, chapter 109, ISBN 1-56931-939-1), with each of his other transformations meant to restrict his power and conceal it from his enemies. Frieza even says upon transforming to his second state that he has a harder time controlling himself and his power due to the immensity of his current strength (Dragon Ball Z manga, vol. 9, chapter 102, ISBN 1-56931-938-3).
