A Power Booster is a superpower that increases characters' abilities and even other's superpowers. Individuals who possess this power can increase their and others' physical abilities beyond their limits. When it comes to superpowers, it gives a stronger output. These effects are usually temporary, especially if range is involved. Boosting superpowers too much may also make others' powers uncontrollable, inducing Power Incontinence.

Inversion/opposite of Power Limiter, which limits a person's power.

The objectified form of this trope is Amplifier Artifact.

Examples of Power Buff include:
