- "I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening, turns the legs to jelly. I ask you to what end? Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here, or should I say, I am."
- ― Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
- "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper."
- ― T.S. Eliot
- "This is not the convenient plot twist that saves our heroes. This is the convenient plot twist that makes them even more screwed."
- ― Ryan MC (Two Evil Scientists)
- "I am the One Below All. With these hands I break. With this mouth I howl. I devoured the selves that were here in a time long past. Now there is I. And only I. I am all-powerful. And my weapon is hate. I have made of this a thing of hate. A hollow shell. A Hulk. The mystery frightens and disgusts me. I will kill it. Make all hollow as I. Dead and dark as I. And I will be alone."
- ― One-Below-All (Marvel Comics)
The ability to manipulate the limitless and ultimate disasters. Form/Expression of Omnipotence. Technique of Author Authority and Potentiality Lordship. Opposite of Absolute Miracle Manipulation. Perfect version of Disaster Manipulation.
Also Called[]
- Diabolus Ex Machina
- True Hopelessness
- The Unstoppable Disaster
Capabilities[]
The user can create, shape and manipulate the limitless and ultimate disasters. No matter what happens or who tries to "save the day" it is completely and utterly hopeless, absolutely nothing can stop this from happening, just like real death, tragedy will strike in the bitter end.
This can be either the work of a Supreme Being bringing forth a harsh and unstoppable judgement upon their creation, an Anti-God doing their job by bringing utter misfortune and misery upon creation or an author ending a story with a completely hopeless and dark ending.
Unlike Apocalyptic Force Manipulation, this power isn't solely about controlling the final force that causes the end of all existence in a universal cycle, but bringing forth absolute ruin and tragedy that's beyond all hope of stopping, whether it is the end of everything or not.
In practice, this power is akin to Almighty Magic and Almighty Science in that, just as the only explanation you will ever get to the feats of those powers is "because it's magic" and "because it's science", the only real explanation to the impossible feats this power accomplishes is "because it's a disaster".

The seventh seal is opened and heaven is silent for about a half an hour, An angel offers incense and the prayers of all the saints, at the golden altar before the throne. After the smoke and the prayers ascend to God, the angel fills the censer with fire, from the altar, and throws it to the Earth causing noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake...
After the breaking of the seventh seal, seven angels with seven trumpets are sounded, one at a time, to cue apocalyptic events...
The first angel of seven sounded his trumpet: "And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth" burning a third of the Earth's flora, scorching all green grass...
The second angel sounded his trumpet: "And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown in the sea, and a third of the sea became blood" killing a third of everything in the ocean, including ships.
The third angel sounded: And a great star, named "Wormwood", fell from heaven poisoning the water from rivers and water springs...
The fourth angel sounded: The sun, the moon and stars are struck, so that a third of their light diminished to the point of complete darkness for a third of a day, even during the night.
The fifth angel sounds his trumpet; this signals the "First woe". A star falls from heaven to the earth and is given the key to the bottomless pit. It opens the pit and smoke rises, darkening the air and sunlight. The Locusts come out of the smoke, from the pit, and "Abaddon The Destroyer" commands them to torment any man who does not have the seal of God on his forehead for five months...
The sixth angel sounds his trumpet for the "Second woe". The four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates are released. The four angels of the Euphrates raise an army of 200 million cavalry who kill a third of mankind.
The "Third woe" is signaled by the sound of the seventh trumpet. Loud voices in heaven proclaim Christ as ruler forever under the "Kingdom of our Lord". Thanks is given to God, the Almighty and praise for the wrath that came, the dead who were judged, and the bond-servants rewarded. The temple of God in heaven opens and the Ark of the covenant appears in His temple. Lightning and the peals of thunder occur followed by an earthquake and a great hailstorm covers the earth...
Seven angels are given seven bowls of God's wrath, each a set of plagues consisting of judgements full of the wrath of God. These seven bowls of God's wrath are poured out on the wicked and the followers of the Antichrist after the sounding of the seven trumpets...
The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image...
The second bowl: the sea turns to blood. Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died...
The third bowl: The waters turn to blood. Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, oh Lord, the one who is and who was and who is to be, because you have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due. And I heard another from the altar saying, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgements...”
When the fourth bowl is poured out, the sun causes a major heatwave to scorch the planet with fire. The incorrigible wicked refuse to repent while they blaspheme the name of God...
When the fifth bowl is poured out, a thick darkness overwhelms the kingdom of the beast. The wicked continue to stubbornly defame the name of God while refusing to repent and glorify God...
When the seventh bowl is poured out, a global earthquake causes the cities of the world to collapse. All the mountains and islands are removed from their foundations. Giant hailstones weighing around 100 pounds will plummet onto the planet. The plagues are so severe that the wicked's hatred of God intensifies while the incorrigible continue to curse God...
The One Below All (Marvel Comics) is the ultimate personification of hatred and every form of evil there is, it exists within every being and sees from the perspective of any who commits evil acts on whatever scale as they are simply doing it's will...
