- Chaos Energy Manipulation (Mid-Tier)
- Energy Projection (The most common form of offense by Chaos Force users, Chaos energy can be cast from the body in a variety of techniques including destructive beams, energy spheres, energy waves, widespread barrage of energy attacks or huge explosions. Chaos energy blasts can be cataclysmic, being capable of destroying celestial bodies, entire space-time continuums and abstract entities)
- Space-Time Manipulation (Chaos Force wielders are capable of manipulating or warping the fabric of space and time through Chaos Control. The extent of Chaos Control is dependent on how much Chaos Energy is added to its usage; with seven Chaos Emeralds included in its usage, users are capable of bending the space and time of an entire multiverse to their will)
- Teleportation (By invoking Chaos Control, individuals can warp across space instantly and do the same to objects as large as the Space Colony ARK, its use also disrupts the space-time continuum)
- Time Stop (Chaos control can freeze opponents in time)
- BFR (Chaos Control allows the user to banish foes to closed off dimensions without going with them)
- Dimensional Travel (Even a single Chaos Emerald allows the user to warp across the space-time of infinite universes)
- Portal Creation (Chaos control allows the user to create portals to different locations, Eggman and Wily were able to create inter-dimensional portals to arrive in the Skull Egg Zone. Scourge can also use Warp Rings to travel between dimensions)

- Space-Time Manipulation, Void Manipulation & Existence Erasure (As the events of Sonic Generations occurred within the Archie continuity, Shadow was unaffected by the Time Eater's erasure on a scale encompassing "all of space-time")
- Conceptual (Type 1), Empathic & Dream Erasure (The scope of the Time Eater's erasure would've extended to Maginaryworld, a conceptual realm which assembles the dreams of those from other dimensions)
- Nonexistence Erasure (Nature Type 1 - Aspect Type 5 - History; The Time Eater can erase non-existent universes, with its erasure extending to Silver's original future, a "universe that never was")
- Data & Information Erasure (Type 2; Withstood the erasure of Digital Realms, which are made entirely of data with beings originating from them being able to affect those in the real world. The information/data within these realms is abstract to the point that it takes the form of whatever Digitized beings perceive it to be with these virtual realities such as Robotnik's implied to be physical, with Sonic while in them being able to make "everything" happen due to it being a "User-friendly world of Virtual Reality", being able to hack Robotnik's distant technology from inside it)
