| ~ Mxyzptlk explaining his motivations to Jon Kent |
Summary
Mister Mxyzptlk (or originally Mister Mxyztplk) is a whimsical, reality-bending imp from the 5th dimension and a frequent foe of Superman. Rarely malicious, Mxyzptlk spends his days waiting for opportunities to mess with his favorite Kryptonian, killing time with every alternate version of Superman to ease his boredom. Despite his childish and playful tendencies, he is a dangerous entity to ignore, as his god-like abilities allow him to bend space and time to his whim, making him a truly terrifying opponent if he feels like "playing supervillain".

All previous which has been enhanced greatly plus:
Attack Potency: Unknown (He does not fight with destructive power, so we don't know how powerful he is. In addition, he is said to be from the Fifth Dimension, it is not the same as his modern incarnations. This version of the Fifth Dimension is a dimension above the main three dimensional universe, albeit it is unknown if it is infinitely superior. In addition, each universe in the multiverse has their own version of the Fifth Dimension. It is a higher dimension, albeit not transcendent[5]). | Varies, up to Multiverse level+ (Flicked Krypto with his giant hand.[27] When sharing his power with Kull and a robot, the two were overwhelmingly more powerful than Superman and Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family.[32]) | Varies, up to Low Multiverse level physically (Emperor Joker physically overpowered Superman.[81] Easily matched and overpowered enraged Rebirth Superman in a physical brawl[76][Statistics Values 1]), up to Low Multiverse level physically (Emperor Joker physically overpowered Superman.

He did all of this with extreme ease, and it was implied that he could do much more if he tried, but it seems he wasn't interested.[81] Mister Mxyzptlk was going to unimagine the Multiverse with his powers.[111][112][113][114] Beings of the Fifth Dimension can freely move through Hypertime.[115] Perceives Superman through infinite realities on a game board.[77] Sees Superman and Batman's universe as nothing more than a game that he can change[102][Statistics Values 2]))
Speed: Varies, up to at least Speed of Light (Can always keep up with Original Superman,[8][9] back when he could only reach Speed of Light[11][6][20]). | Varies, likely up to Massively FTL+ (Can[25] always keep[27] up with casual[40] Superman and Supergirl. Shown to be capable of flying interstellar distances in a short period of time.[23] Kull with a fraction of his power matched Captain Marvel family in speed[32]) | Varies, up to Immeasurable (Can keep up with early Post-Crisis Superman and Flash.[91] Emperor Joker was able to contend with Superman.[81] Can keep up with Barry Allen.[74] Exists beyond time and space, beyond length and width.[4] 5D Imps can freely move through time and Hypertime.[116] Perceives all past, present and future across all universes simultaneously.[74] The Multispear struck different places and times as a side effect.[117] Vyndktvx - a 5D Imp - latched onto actual times in his assault.[118] Mxyzptlk juggled matter and time and Imps disturb time when they fight[117])
Lifting Strength: Unknown, at least Class K with Telekinesis (Easily lifted a house[13]) | At least Class 1 physically (Lifted a barrel full of syrup[61]), Multi-Stellar with Telekinesis (Restrained Green Lantern[12]) | Immeasurable (Casually held a universe in his hat.[4] Vyndktvx - a 5D Imp, who should be weaker than Mxy - latched onto actual times in his assault and held it in his hands[118])
Striking Strength: Unknown | Low Multiverse level (Scaling from Superman) | Low Multiverse level (Punched through Superman[81][Statistics Values 1], Outerverse level+ with powers)
Durability: Unknown | Low Multiverse level (Krypto's attacks did zero damage against his large hand.[27] Kull and a robot with a fraction of his power were unaffected by Superman and Captain Marvel's combined attacks.[32] Tanked the entire might of Pre-Crisis heroes[12]) | Varies, up to Low Multiverse level physically (Emperor Joker was easily able to tank Superman's attack.[81] Tanked a blast from Linda Danvers[96][Statistics Values 1]), up to Outerverse level+ with powers (Fought Bat-Mite on equal grounds[112][113][114])

Standard Equipment: None notable | Dimensional viewer. A piece of equipment that allows[56] him to watch practically[54] anyone in the Third Dimension[49] from the Fifth Dimension.[50] His hat. If worn by others, they gain his powers.[50] However, only if he wills it. | His hat. If worn by others, they gain his powers.[100] However, only if he wills it.
Intelligence: Above Average (Mister Mxyzptlk has some decent magical knowledge from his dimension,[11] however, he is very gullible and very easy to manipulate and trick) | Same as before | Nigh-Omniscient (Mxyzptlk exists as a single entity across all universes,[76] perceiving all[77] of time and space[105] simultaneously.[74] As the Mxy Twins, he wrote the Encyclopedia Universal, a book containing virtually all information on everything in existence[94])
Standard Tactics:
- Original: Likes to play around and use his "magic" to warp matter and reality.
- Pre-Crisis: He is similar to his original self in many ways, however, unlike his original counterpart, he cares deeply about Superman and[33] is willing to be humiliated and defeated so Superman doesn't get hurt/die.[32]
- Current Incarnation: In many ways, he is similar to his former selves. On top of that, he likes to set the rules for the game.[70]
Weaknesses: If he says his own name backwards, it will forcefully shun him back to his original dimension. He cannot return within 90 days.[21] In addition, as a wish maker, he always likes to play by the rules. Lois Lane forced him to turn himself 3-Dimensional and seal himself within a concrete and lost his powers.[9] He is rather gullible and has a bit of ego, which often leads to him being outwitted by Superman and his cast.[7][18] | Same as before. In addition, he has been outsmarted by even Krypto.[54] Whatever he does in the lower worlds often wears off[32] once he leaves for his own dimension.[26] Even if a recording of his name backward is played, he gets sent to his own dimension.[53] It is likely, his voice is the key to his powers.[69] | He appears to lack the former weaknesses. Saying his name backwards no longer shuns him to the Fifth Dimension and returning to his home dimension no longer reverts the changes he made to the lower ones, instead he does it by himself.[79] However, he does like to play games. So, if he loses - any game - he will return to his dimension willingly[79] and stay there for a period of time.[78] He never lies and always keeps his word.[78] However, the lying part was rectified later on after he learned from his mistakes.[70] Negative Space nulls his powers.[76]
Notes:
- While the versions of Mister Mxyzptlk are essentially the same, there are some distinct differences between them. Especially between the modern and the original version. While there might be slight differences, he is overall the same person, and powers and abilities of his are the same across his incarnations.
- Reason for his varied tier: Mister Mxyzptlk can control the output of his power levels. He always matches Superman, no matter how weak or strong he is in that story.
- The original Mister Mxyzptlk was rather inconsistent with his dimensions. At first, he was a Sixth Dimension being, but as his story progressed, they changed it to Fifth Dimension.
- After a long discussion, we agreed that World Funnest to be canon to Pre-Crisis Mxyzptlk and its cosmology. As such, the destruction of higher dimensions as well as fractured dimensions does not grant anything above 2-A. Numbered higher dimensions back then were simply higher dimensions and not infinitely superior dimensions.
- The Fifth Dimension being a space-time in the modern times should be disregarded. Initially, it was meant to be a higher space-time, but as time went on and they developed the cosmology, it was changed to something different.
- Dale and Dolores - the Mxy twins - were Mister Mxyzptlk himself after he split himself in half.[99]
- Before making any changes to this page, please read and follow the Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics.
- Please be very careful when scaling anyone from Mister Mxyzptlk as his powers varies greatly. Reading the greater context of said feats will give you a better understanding of his power level at that moment. If possible, try to scale characters from others instead of Mister Mxyzptlk.
- For information about the cosmological scaling that informs the tiering, please refer to the DC Comics Cosmology page.
