When a character with immense power makes a crater with it. The ability to "crater" something may be achieved by whacking it with some variety of [[Super Strength]] power, or unleashing some kind of pressure shockwave that does the same. On some occasions though, a character may [[Invoked Trope|invoke]] [['''Crater Power]]''' by [[Grievous Harm Withwith a Body|using someone else as a medium]].
 
A common variant is for a character with [[In a Single Bound|super jumping powers]] is to land and form a crater on impact, demonstrating the character's [[Nigh Invulnerability]].
 
Sometimes happens when attempting a [[Three -Point Landing]]. Compare/contrast: [[Ground -Shattering Landing]], [[Ground Pound]], [[Shockwave Stomp]], and [[Efficient Displacement]]. See also, [[Chunky Updraft]].
