Vaatu (Avatar: The Legend of Korra)

Ichibē Hyōsube's (Bleach) Zanpakutō, Ichimonji, grants him control over all the Blackness in existence, which he can use as a form of ink to rewrite the very definitions & identities of people...

...or using that "Blackness" to utterly erase his opponents from existence.

Danny Fenton/Phantom (Danny Phantom) can use ectoplasmic energy in reverse to create the absence of light by pulling all light into himself, similar to a ghostly black hole.
