To be metapotent means to be powerful beyond powerful. It is a variation of omnipotence. In the simplest way I can show it, it seems to be Absolute Omnipotence from TV Tropes.

"The character has absolute omnipotence. As in, nothing can challenge them, and they can literally do anything and everything, logic and causality be damned." -TV Tropes

Meta means "beyond" or "after". In other words, you transcend power itself. Really? I did not know Metapotence was that Overpowered, I heard some people argue that it's a stalemate between Metapotence and Unrestricted/Absolute Wish or even argued that the latter can beat the former by wishing the same power but somehow superior. Think of it like this; if someone with metapotence declares that they are invulnurable to anything and everything, that is it. If someone with absolute wish decalres the same for themselves, metapotence would just override that as if his wish didn't exist in the first place. So... If Absolute wish user wishes himself Metapotence, then the Metapotence user overrides that as if that wish didn't happen at all? Precisely. The user who wished the power is not metapotent incarnate. They are not the beginning and the end of it all. If the user wished to be incarnate, they would still be overrun even if there was no logical reason to be overrun. Similar theory how one could make a stone that is too heavy for them to pick up, then pick it up anyways. It doesn't matter all the logic in the universe that anyone could throw at a metapotent user, they would never be affected in the first place. In fact, there wouldn't have even been a fight to begin with. The user with Absolute Wish would only exist with all their power if the Metapotent user wanted them to.

Metapotence is pretty much a synonym for Omnipotence, just a different flavor of it.
