"There has to be a counterbalance; for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction."
― Isaac Newton

The ability to counter anything/everything. Not to be confused with Omnicounter or Absolute Counter.

Also Called

  • Anti-Type
  • Counter Force Control

Capabilities

User can counter anything including events, powers, choices, creations/destruction etc., in a number of ways, from gaining counter abilities (IE. Enemy uses fire, you can use water) to wiping out an entire army, just to protect their interests. They may be tied to the whims of the granter of these powers, may be a god themselves, and unable to pick and choose, or chose to be used by the Counter-Force, or maybe even be the Counter-Force itself.

User is armed for any situation that may arise, and as such, have great skill on their own. This ability also includes not only countering out, or negating a situation that could be bad/good, but also being able to change peoples ways. As simply Countering out something still leaves the situation unresolved.
