Unknown super

There's a super *nobody* knows about. That's because when they use their power, no one *remembers it.
Y'see they've got what may be the ultimate power. By its very nature it's irresistible and unstoppabele. The fact that nobody else can remember being used, is a sort of unfornate side effect.
What is this power, you ask?
It's the power of *retcon*. They can make changes to the world, even to the past and it will be as if things had always been that way.
So, of course they are unknown, and they don't even have a "cape" name. Why bother, nobody would believe them.

I suspect trying to alter anything more than a day ago would probably be impossible, given how many memories would need to be changed and how many other events that would alter.

Think of it as being like femto-tech. Not working within the rules of the universe but hacking the server that reality runs on.

Assuming this super has read that story, or has an excess of common sense, they're *not* going to try to find the limits.
Well ...
