A fair point, I've seen too many edit wars myself ^ ^;

The believe the hard of the matter in this case is that SPW isn't only a catalogue of existing powers found in fictional media, it also has a creative side dedicated to interesting powers no yet found in any of them, although as Beast mentionned they usually still do exist somewhere in some form, and have just yet to be discovered.

This type of "sui generis" powers is admitedly rare, and is meant to remain so. What Beast meant previously is that many powers used to have no known users, and got some later on as he explained, which is why the category stayed small on the long run.

An important point to keep in mind about the SPW is that is a transversal one, covering many fictional products from many different sources, so there is not universal "truth" about everything by lack of unquestionable central authority (like individual writers are regarding their own work), but rather our collective efforts to make sense of each page. Each of othem is thus a work in progress on a permanent basis, and typically maturing over time and contributions.

I understand it' disappointing to someone who values truth and reliability above all, but that's just the way things work here, and due to the aforementioned absence of truth-maker, I'm affraid it simply cannot be any other way.
