As The One, Neo (Matrix) can break the rules of the Matrix when even Upgraded Agents can only marginally bend them.
Despite his lack of supernatural abilities and actual weapons, Nemesis (Anima: Beyond Fantasy) obliterated every enemy that ever appeared before him, mortals and gods alike, without ever taking the slightest damage.
Anomaly (Marvel Comics) is the living embodiment of this concept, and can invoke its attributes at will.
After his one-of-a-kind resurrection, the Fateless One (Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning) can shrug off destiny and literally bend fate to multiply his battle prowess.
Due to his mysterious past and him being from "Somewhere else", Quest (World of Quest) is outside the rules of the world of Odyssia and as such is only one who can successfully recover the shattersoul sword and prevent the resurrection of Shadow Seed.
Mikitaka Hazekura (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part IV: Diamonds are Unbreakable)
Unlike the Maou's fairy form, True Fairies (Sekai Maou) are considered neither human, demon, nor monster. They seem to occupy a unique place in creation that allows them to exist without the need of magical power which sustains all other living things.
