Power Level

Low-level Users

Users of this stage cannot break the laws of physics, but they can bend them, such as running on vertical walls. They are the weakest of reality warpers, being severely limited and are debatable to being called "Reality Warpers".

Medium-Level Users

Users of this can mimic animated characters. Users of this level of power can perform a seemingly impossible feat (e.g. producing a mallet out of thin air). Some may be able to impose their laws onto others.

Advanced-Level Users

Users of this power level are a very powerful force to be reckoned with. They can manipulate physics, allowing them to not only bend, but even break the laws of physics. Being the general form of reality warper, 'Physics Manipulators' can invent their own physical laws and impose them on the rest of the universe.

Master-Level Users

These are the rarest among other reality warpers. Not only that they can break the laws of physics, they can control the very rules of logic and reason to perform feats that are not only impossible, but also inconceivable. They are so powerful, they may appear to be practically nigh omnipotent.

Users of Reality Restoration can simply undo everything.
Reality Warping and Paradox Manipulation tend to cancel each other out.
Basic knowledge of things, creativity, and desire for things to happen are needed for the user to warp reality effectively.
Cannot fool users of Reality Perception.
Power can be negated by users of Reality Alteration Negation.
May need to be within a reality to be able to bend it.
If user is placed in a realm with its reality is destroyed, they may be powerless.
Unless they have Reality Awareness or Reality Perception, user may be vulnerable to Illusion Manipulation.
May need to perform certain actions to use the power (rhyming, writing, etc.).
May be hard to control.

Universal Differences

In Marvel Comics, reality manipulators affect the atomic structure of matter as well as energy (much like all kinds of Matter Manipulating powers) in order to affect reality, whereas actual Reality Warping is buried in mystery of how it is really used.
