  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Chaos Control is a superpower where a person can control disorder, which is paradoxical but ironically works anyway. It’s like a contradiction showing chaos in a certain way. The power would be manipulating chaotic forces that can range from control over probability to altering reality. A superpower like this one is often used by [[Bad Powers, Bad People|evil people]]. At the same time, [[Bad Powers, Good People|some use it for good]], but chaos is complicated. Most view [[Chaos Is Evil|it as evil]] but it is truly a neutral force that brings change.

'''Chaos Control''' is a superpower where a person can control disorder, which is paradoxical but ironically occurs anyway. It’s like a contradiction showing chaos in a certain way. The power would be manipulating chaotic forces that can range from control over probability to altering reality. These superpowers do not always involve controlling chaos but could be related to it, such as being empowered by it. [[Cosmic Entity|Cosmic entities]] of chaos such as [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Anthropomorphic Personifications]] and [[Our Gods Are Greater|Gods]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|other beings]] would have such power. Entities like these can even be empowered by chaos as well. However, this ability has a weakness: powers of order can counter chaos.

Chaos Control

Chaos is a friend of theirs, but they're enemies.

Chaos Control is a superpower where a person can control disorder, which is paradoxical but ironically occurs anyway. It’s like a contradiction showing chaos in a certain way.

These superpowers do not always involve controlling chaos but could be related to it, such as being empowered by it. Cosmic entities of chaos such as Anthropomorphic Personifications and Gods and other beings would have such power. Entities like these can even be empowered by chaos as well. However, this ability has a weakness: powers of order can counter chaos.
