Power Booster is a superpower that increases characters' abilities and even other's superpowers.
They 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 can also make others' powers uncontrollable, inducing [[Power Incontinence]].


* [[Power Buff|Boost superpowers]]
[[Averted Trope]] of [[Power Limiter]], which limits a person's power.
* [[Power Limiter|Limit superpowers]]
* [[Power Nullifier|Nullify superpowers]]
* [[Power Copying|Copy superpowers]]
* [[Power Parasite|Absorb superpowers]]
* [[Super Empowering|Bestow superpowers]]


It goes without saying that someone with this type of power has hit the Superpower Lottery. Some superpowers can also be used to manipulate people. For example, Telepathy, where superpowers are controlled by the brain; thus, a telepath can control people's powers.
The objectified form of this trope is [[Amplifier Artifact]].
