- Statistics Amplification (Via purchasing Upgrades)
- Acausality (Type 1, 4 and 5: Can bring cookies from the past before they were eaten, invite themselves to a party that occurred yesterday, and even rewrite history without any temporal effects or paradoxes]. Can explore and discover a "place lost in time" without issues, presumably. Transcends space-time when Ascending and can break into the Real World)
- Unholy Manipulation (Purchasing the One Mind Upgrade starts the Grandmapocalypse, which turns the world to be filled with demonic Grandmas knowsn as Grandmatriarchs, as well as start Wrinklers and Wrath Cookies to spawn. This causes the world to end. The Elder Pledge is able to contain the Grandmapocalypse, and the Elder Covenant can permanently end it)
- Age Manipulation (Has anti-aging cream that literally has anti-aging properties, preventing Grandmas from growing their power from aging)
- Mind Manipulation (Can inflict Reverse Dementia on targets. Able to enforce Cortex Bakers to have abstract thought. Has access to ambroisa, which makes cookies dangerously addictive. The Baker's Principled Neural Shackles are able to completely stop the planet-sized Cortex Bakers from gaining megasentience and fighting back against The Baker. Able to connect the minds of Cortex Bakers to other Cortex Bakers, a process known as Neural Networking)
- Mind Control (The Baker can utilize mind control, additionally allowing them to change the mood of the target as well)
- Chaos Manipulation (Able to "apply a touch of chaos" into the brains of Cortex Bakers to reduce their stale thoughts, and get them "back on track")
- Reality Warping (Applicable to nearly every single ability. Can create their own programming language to affect and change reality that is separate from the pre-existing programming language the world worked under before. they can affect the code in all of reality, with small minor changes within the code being able to mess up the neurotoxin ventilation of every living person. Krumblor's Reality Bending allows 10% of the rest of their abilities to be activated at once)
- Social Influencing (Charisma, Deception, Social Position and Animal Charming; The Baker's Good Manners Upgrade has them learn the grandma's customs to make the grandmas more "amiable". The Brownie Point System Upgrade involves The Baker giving very small prizes to employees. Although the prizes are small, it's enough to double the efficiency of their workforce. The Behavioral Reframing Upgrade has The Baker use social engineering to convince all their workers that the word "union" is a slur. Can trick the public to make them seem more intelligent, sophisticated and reasonable than they are. Controls so many legislative bodies and branches of the global economy, that donating money to themselves reduces their taxes. Has a cult that became the new world order, turning zillions of people from every corner of the universe into loyal followers. Able to pet the dragon, Krumblor, to get Upgrades for it)
- Transmutation (Able to transmutate others, such as the events of when purchasing the Transmutated Grandmas Upgrade, which turns some Grandmas into gold, which can be then turned into cookies. Whatever Cursors touch, turns into dough. Alchemy Labs can turn gold into cookies. The Polymorphism Upgrade allows The Baker to turn any creature into another. Has the Midas touch. Through the Theory of Atomic Fluidity, The Baker can ignore chemistry by using the fact that anything and everything in the universe can be turned into anything else, which The Baker uses by turning everything into cookies. Can even turn nightmares into physical things. Can turn cookies into better cookies, and can turn people into people who respect things far better. Can turn light itself into cookies using Prisms. Able to turn the entire production of other universes, into cookie producing universes. Has the Universal Converter to turn literally anything, including things from other realities, into cookies)
- Shapeshifting (Using Polymorphism, The Baker can turn themselves into any creature, including a better version of themselves)
- Antimatter Manipulation (Can somehow create Antigrandmas which are created out of antimatter. Antimatter Condensers can condense antimatter and turn it into cookies)
- Light Manipulation (Can somehow create Rainbow Grandmas which can sparkle themselves into cookies. Miner Grandmas have miner hats with lights. Has access to Light Magic, which has killed 178 people in a year. Prisms can turn light itself into cookies. Prisms can emit a blinding flash, so bright that reality isn't ready for the amount of brightness it can emit. The Prism can make a 9th color become visible for normal people. Can generate chocolate light, reverse shadows. Prisms reflect so much light, reflecting a small amount of light can allow it to set an entire area ablaze, with Hyperblack paint only preventing this effect up to third-degree burns to people)
- Absorption (The entire universe got dimmer due to The Baker absorbing too much light with Prisms, resulting in them having to absorb the twinkles in eyes, or the warm glow of pregnant women. Has sponge cake that can absorb liquids very well due to its infinite surface area)
- Probability Manipulation (Can somehow create Grandmas which are lucky, making them always finding more cookies. Has good-luck charms that can help those who fail at interviews. Chancemakers generate cookies out of nowhere through sheer luck. Able to turn unlucky things into lucky things, turning broken windows and walking under ladders into something lucky. Changed the laws of probability so that everything either happens or it doesn't, leaving literally everything at a 50/50 chance. Dragon's Fortune via Krumblor increases luck)
- Data Manipulation (Can create Binary Grandmas which are made up of data. Javascript Consoles generate cookies from the very code the universe was coded in, using variables to compact their cookies within code. Can generate a literal real stack overflow in the code, which would affect the world itself. Can make code tastier. Can create their own programming language separate from the one the world uses. Later is revealed that they can affect the code in all of reality, with small minor changes within the code being able to mess up the neurotoxin ventilation of every living person. Can trap code, and make it only work from a far distance. Was able to transfer their DNA through email attachments, which ended up having The Baker's DNA be common knowledge for their workers)
- Subjective Reality (Can create a Brainy Grandma which uses its brain power to imagine cookies into existence. Can create and purchase the Cortex Bakers, which through sheer thinking, create cookies out of thin air by dreaming, making reality arbitrary in comparison. The Cortex Bakers have the capacity to become megasentient, and likely is capable of dreaming up more than cookies, but is blocked by The Baker's Principled Neural Shackles, preventing them from thinking further)
- Plant Manipulation (Farms grow cookie seeds in incredibly fast speeds, growing tons of cookie plants every second. Can grow cookie trees. Can bring crops to life)
- Water Manipulation (Can generate pulsar sprinklers by purchasing them. Can turn water into saliva)

- Magic (Coming from Wizard Tower-adjacent abilities and Upgrades, such as Magical Botany and Seismic Magic. Has access to dark magic. Can perform magic without needing to perform gestures)
- Fire Manipulation (The Baker has access to fire to grow infernal crops)
- Explosion Manipulation (The Baker can generate sugar gas, which is a volatile gas. They do this by purchasing the Upgrade. Can mine using tons of hydrogen bombs)
- Biological Manipulation (Upon purchasing, The Baker can immediately use their bio-engineering to create a mole person, through their laboratories. Has complete and total mastery of the human genome, able to change all sorts of parts of a human, as well as give them laser eyes)
- Non-Physical Interaction (Can inexplicably mine the air itself, and can turn nightmares into metals. Can turn light itself into cookies. Can trap code itself, which is described as being transcendental, meaning it exists in a nonphysical realm. Can manipulate and use a material that neither science or philosophy can even conceptualize)
- Earth Manipulation (Can use Seismic Magic to generate earthquakes)
- Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; The Unshackled Mines Heavenly Upgrade can allow The Baker to redefine the meaning of "depth", which likely isn't hyperbole given The Baker constantly warps reality. The Baker was able to gain access to the physical manifestation of pure flavor. Can hijack the complete production of other Idleverses, making each of them going under different rules of the concept of "reality", merely to add extra fun. Can manipulate and use a material that neither science or philosophy can even conceptualize)
- Temperature Manipulation (Having merely 100 Factories allows The Baker to cause global warming. The Infinity Engine Upgrade breaks the laws of thermodynamics. Can utilize and turn anything into any and every state of matter, including the cookie state of matter. Can freeze things into incredibly low temperatures. 250 Time Machines results in a heat death, which would loser temperatures in a universe close to zero. Prisms reflect so much light, reflecting a small amount of light can allow it to set an entire area ablaze, with Hyperblack paint only preventing this effect up to third-degree burns to people)
- Radiation Manipulation (Has access to, and can create radium reactors, which has enough radiation to make cookies glow. Mystical energy is able to cause skin cancer. Can apply cosmic foreground radiation into the universe. The physical manifestation of pure flavor is radioactive)
- Time Manipulation (Inexplicably has an Upgrade that makes days last 78 hours instead of 24. The Temporal Overclocking Upgrade, unlocked with enough Time Machines, allows The Baker to speed up time. 650 Time Machines results in the future, which previously was willing to accept changes in the past, be suddenly able to prevent changes in the past. Despite this, travel to the past affecting the future still occurs for The Baker, suggesting this can be used to prevent other people changing the past. Able to use the Time Paradox Resolver Upgrade to fix time paradoxes. Yestermorrow Comparators Upgrade is able to turn fortnights into milleniums of time. Can add more layers in time by adding more clock hands, which allows The Baker to warp time in all sorts of ways. Krumblor's Epoch Manipulator allows them to extend the duration of buffs)
- Causality Manipulation (The Quantum Electronics Upgrade is capable of making machines not even understand whether they are on or off, which inexplicably boosts their efficiency. The Causality Enforcer Upgrade allows The Baker to enforce causality, likely regardless of changes to the past, which is implied when the description says "what happened, happened". Reverse Cyclotrons Upgrade allows The Baker to uncollision particles)
- Holy Manipulation (Delicious Blessing Upgrade description describes The Baker being offered holy gifts, such as shimmering sugar, night-dark chocolate, etc. An ultimate diety casted its eyes on The Baker's Bakery. Made a deal that results in holy beings coming down to Earth)

- Hair Manipulation (Can use spells to grow eyebrows on furniture)
- Creation (Can use Cookiemancy to summon every part of a cookie out of thin air. The Big Bang Bake Upgrade allows The Baker to generate big bangs)
- Electricity Manipulation (Can use Electricity magic, which is potent enough to shock elephants to death instantly)
- Additional Limbs (Cursors are multiple sentient disembodied gloved hands that click on things, that The Baker can summon)
- Hive Mind (The Grandmatriarchs are all a hive mind across all of the grandmas)
- Fusionism (Grandmas can fuse with each other to grow. Can fuse higher dimensional realities with lower ones)
- Accelerated Development (Passive; Grandmas gain more power the older they become)
- Poison Manipulation (It's heavily implied that Grandmas have access to poison to poison tea. Cookies with too much cookie within them are poisonous)
- Smoke Manipulation (It's implied that Witch Grandmas creating cookies generates poofs and smoke. Has access and can utilize phlogisticated substances, which is air that lacks oxygen and is full of smoke)
- Hacking (Script Grannies can hack into cyberspace. The Baker themselves is capable of hacking into the mainframe)
- Energy Manipulation (Can apply false vacuum theory into reality, which makes the entire energy field of reality metastable, being able to turn from normal, a false vacuum state, to completely collapsing, true vacuum state, turning all space to the true lowest energy level, which would completely annihilate anything and everything, as a biproduct, also completely rewriting all the fundemental laws of the universe to its very core. Cortex Bakers can generate cosmic brainstorms, which spray off pure intellectual energy across space)
- Omnipresence (The Unshackled Shipments Upgrade's description simply says, "everywhere at once".. Uses a mouse cursor that is present in every point in space at once)
- Metal Manipulation (Has access and likely can generate antimony metals)
- Dimensional Travel (It's stated that The Baker can casually hop between universes, which they do in the process of turning three galaxies into cookies)
- Dream Manipulation (Can turn nightmares from children's heads into physical things. Made a dreamworld for Cortex Bakers to sleep into to live out fantasies with other Cortex Bakers)
- Gravity Manipulation (It's heavily implied that The Baker can transmute gravitons. The planetary size of created/purchased Cortex Bakers should automatically give them a huge gravitational pull)
- Portal Creation (Can easily purchase, which effectively creates new portals, which allow access to the Cookieverse. Can make portals small enough to fit in a cookie and transport taste buds, to portals that can fit elder gods within them. Also has portals that simply send a person from one place in space to another, instead of sending them into a different space-time. Has access to portal guns. Can make portals that target specific universes' specific points in space)
- Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Able to fuse higher dimensions with lower ones, inexplicably)
- Time Travel (With the Time Machines, which can bring things from the past to the present. Can rewrite history. The Far Future Enactment Upgrade allows The Baker to travel to the future, allowing them to delve deep into the future)
- Precognition (Via Time Travel, used to predict optimal planting times)
- Space-Time Manipulation (The Big Bang Bake Upgrade allows The Baker to generate big bangs. The Baker was then able to tap into the very pulse of the cosmos)
- Matter Manipulation (Reverse Cyclotrons Upgrade allows The Baker to unspin atoms, which would collapse all of chemistry and the rest of the elements, as well as matter, would cease for that atom. Able to somehow candy atoms)
- Law Manipulation (Got rid of the effects of quantum entanglement via a quantum comb. This makes no sense, don't bother questioning it. All of the Upgrades that involve affecting the cosmology with mathematical and scientific theories becoming real stems from The Baker, as heavily implied when The Baker just "decides" that antiphotons exist now, and that light is actually void. The Baker purchasing the Light Speed Limit Upgrade is the reason why there ever was a speed limit to light in the universe to begin with. Changed the laws of probability so that everything either happens or it doesn't, leaving literally everything at a 50/50 chance. The Baker can rewrite the rules to the universe if things don't go well for them, and rewrite their reality. The Baker makes the rules. The laws The Baker dictates can affect an uncountably spatially infinite^5(?) dimensional reality)
- Logic Manipulation (Grasped the logical framework of how other Idleverses' coding worked, even to the most subtle of rules, giving them unparalleled dominion over the multiverse, allowing them to rewrite and shape logic and rules however they want)
- Size Manipulation (Their researchers were able to compress a cookie into a single molecule. The Baker has access to molecular shrinking technology, which they utilized by turning their employees into incredibly small versions of themselves. Was able to turn entire infinite universes into smaller crystal balls that can be used as bowling balls, and yet, still contain an infinite amount of things within them)
- Illusion Creation (Prisms can generate optical illusions)
- Death Manipulation (Has access to Mandelbrown Sugar, which is stated to be lethal upon instant contact)
- Air Manipulation (Has remarkably very big fans, which they use to cool down their Javascript Consoles. Cortex Bakers are so large that they have their own atmospheres that can harbor life. Can make the air glucose-charged, which makes those who breathe in it too much get diabetes)
- Universe Manipulation (Utilizes universe as sandboxes and casually destroys several of them all the time. Able to shrink down universes to the size of bowling balls, while still keeping them infinite in weight. Can poke entire universes, causing trillions of their inhabitants to scream in terror. Was able to put an entire oppisote universe that is identical to their own, in quarantine, for creating anti-cookies)
- Fourth Wall Awareness (Literally destroyed the fifth wall, taking over whatever was on the other side. This would likely be able to completely nullify other fourth-wall breaking abilities)
- Telekinesis (Cortex Bakers have the ability to possess psychokinesis, which The Baker's team has convinced them to only use to scratch their heads)
- Life Manipulation (Upon reaching 500 billion cookies, their cookies gain sentience. Cortex Bakers' neural energy and planetary size were able to generate a new branch of life, based on neural materials and energy)
- Dimensional Storage (Has access to Santa's Bottomless Bag. Uses other Idleverses as storage)
- Sound Manipulation (Can change the sounds that Golden Cookies make when they spawn, and the Jukebox allows them to play through every sound file)
- Memory Manipulation (Neuromancy is stated to allow someone to unsee things that cannot be unseen)
- Natural Weaponry (Krumblor has sharp claws and sharp fangs)
- Aura (Can train Krumblor to have an aura. One of which that increases the likelihood of Golden Cookies spawning, for example. Krumblor can be trained to have a secondary aura)
- Existence Erasure (It's implied that Ascending destroys everything completely in the reality besides Heavenly Cookies, resulting in things going away)
- Void Manipulation (Negative Void Achievement describes The Baker having gotten a negative amount of cookies somehow, even though such a thing isn't possible)
- Heat Manipulation (The Baker is able to withstand the heat of the Earth's core. Has access to a protective suit to protect from deep-bake processes)
- Acid Manipulation (Can instantly apply acid proofing onto things, such as their vaults)
- Law Manipulation (At 5 trillion cookies, the mere existence of their cookies rewrites the fundamental laws of the universe. The Baker is able to do so many things, due to them being able to ignore the existing laws of physics in their world, and requires equipment that specifically does this. This implies that all of the things The Baker can do that breaks physics themselves, is due to this ignoring of the universe's laws)
- Madness Manipulation (Types 1, 2, and 3; The Sanity Dance Upgrade implies The Baker performed such a dance to leave their brains behind, as in, completely giving up their normal brains, and being willing to go insane when meeting other various universes in the Cookieverse)
- Light Manipulation (Has access to lab goggles that presumably protect them from the intense light from Prisms)
- Data Manipulation (Seemingly unaffected by Javascript Consoles and the code they rewrite, which upon having a slight mess up, they can affect the code in all of reality, with small minor changes within the code being able to mess up the neurotoxin ventilation of every living person, killing thousands of people, due to the neurotoxin ventilation code that the universe ran, being outdated. Was unaffected by a runtime error)
- Reality Warping
Attack Potency: High Hyperverse level+ (ℵ3 * ω-D; Can destroy the entirety of the cosmology and spiritually ascend it completely through Ascension. Can fuse higher-dimensional realities with lower ones. The Baker can bake more cookies than Farms, which can till the universe. The Infinity Engine Upgrade breaks the laws of thermodynamics, presumably due to it having an infinite amount of heat. The Baker can bake far more than 100 million cookies in 1 click, which generates a cookie quasar. Able to poke entire universes)
Speed: Infinite (By their very nature. Transcends and is as powerful as the cosmology, which is past infinite spatial dimensions, granting them this speed by default), Infinite speed signals, likely Irrelevant travel speed ships (People can pilot Shipment ships. Relativistic Parsec-Skipping Upgrades instantly make Shipment ships be able to skip parsecs, which are tiny distances, which is stated to be physically impossible, meaning that Shipment ships are able to ignore the existence of short distances, barely making them Irrelevant speed. Shipment Ships can be piloted and sent to various nebulae, travel through wormholes, and even go into warp drive, with robot crews only being hired after that Upgrade, and aren't even autopilots, and are literal robots that pilot the ship instead, only to prevent the death of humans. Dug to the Earth's core. Able to bake sexdecillions of cookies in a millisecond. Has technology that can transmit signals across completely other space-times)
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable (Transcends the cosmology. Can easily lift up an infinite amount of weight)
Striking Strength: High Hyperverse level+ (ℵ3 * ω-D)
Durability: High Hyperverse level+ (ℵ3 * ω-D; Effortlessly withstands the annihilation of the cosmos constantly when Ascending)
Stamina: Infinite, likely Inexhaustible (Through time travel, can additionally never get tired. Starts and ends universes and realities at a whim and sees them end and restart again)
Range: High Hyperversal+ (ℵ3 * ω-D)
Standard Equipment: All Upgrades, All Buildings
Intelligence: Omniscient (Knows the exact position and movement of every particle in the universe, and can utilize it to their advantage. Created Cortex Bakers, which exerted enough intellectual computation to have been able to think of every possible idea that could be possibly thought up. And The Baker can steal and use the ideas from the Cortex Bakers. Created effectively an infinite loop of contingency plans in case any number of things go wrong with their universe. Can manually clone themselves. Creates incredibly advanced technology all the time. An Achievement refers to them as a financial prodigy, and patently genius. Has a clear mind and does yoga. Went to monetary school. Possesses the Secrets to the Universe. The Baker's Good Manners Upgrade has them learn the grandma's customs to make the grandmas more "amiable". The Brownie Point System Upgrade involves The Baker giving very small prizes to employees. Although the prizes are small, it's enough to double the efficiency of their workforce. The Behavioral Reframing Upgrade has The Baker use social engineering to convince all their workers that the word "union" is a slur. Can trick the public to make them seem more intelligent, sophisticated and reasonable than they are. Controls so many legislative bodies and branches of the global economy, that donating money to themselves reduces their taxes. Has a cult that became the new world order, turning zillions of people from every corner of the universe into loyal followers)
Weaknesses: Is implied to be incredibly sadistic. Doesn't seem care about the misery of anyone else but them, as long as they gain more control.
