History Main / PersonOfMassConstruction

* Franchise/{{TheFlash}} is able to use his SuperSpeed in order to repair any damage that his battles may cause. One of the biggest examples occurs in the 2010 flash series when Barry Allen rebuilds an apartment that was completely destroyed by an explosion.

* This became a plot point in the solo series of Nate Grey the ComicBook/XMan when Nate's high-order telekinesis started ''literally putting people back together in his sleep''. He restored a doctor's arm in this way, as well as resurrecting Madelyne Pryor outright. Unfortunately, he was creating psionic constructs rather than actual flesh and when his focused slipped, most of what he created vanished (save Madelyne, who used her own power to liberate her body from its dependency on Nate).

* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} can use his MagnetismManipulation to create as easily as he uses it to destroy. He's constructed multiple space stations in this way, including his various Asteroid Ms and Avalon (though Avalon was a pre-existing station called Graymalkin that he expanded and modified). He's also prone to erecting vanity statues of himself, as demonstrated in 2018's ''ComicBook/XMenBlue''.

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', after the battle against Pain, Yamato helps rebuilding whole districts of the Leaf Village by himself with his Wood Art. Though he claims to be very tired afterwards.

* Franchise/{{Superman}} was originally very much like this; he might wreck something, but he would rebuild it at SuperSpeed, and helps out community construction projects, as well as building things on the fly to help combat villains. (His heat vision and super-cold-breath began as NewPowersAsThePlotDemands, welding metal together "with the heat from my x-ray vision" and then freezing it into place.)
* ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is just so quick taking apart the landscape like putting it back together. She has been known to get a giant breakwater up in seconds to protect San Franciso from a tsunami.

By definition, ConstructionAndManagementGames make the player this... [[CaptainObvious Constructing and managing.]]

* Jean Grey and Magneto at the end of ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. Apocalypse himself is this and PersonOfMassDestuction, as he uses city's material to build his sanctum.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' games, a city with high Production can build buildings or units every turn that usually take many turns to complete.

[[folder:Literature]]
* Bran the Builder from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is said to have built Winterfell and Storms End, two of the strongest castles in the world, as well as the Wall in the north. Many characters, however, doubt that he actually existed, or that he was a single person.
* ''Literature/EmpireStar'' has the Lll, a race that the Empire reluctantly keeps as slaves because they are the only cost-effective way to rebuild planets which have been destroyed by war. Just a handful of Lll is enough to restore the most ravished planet.

A PersonOfMassDestruction leaves rubble in their wake, but some people add to the surroundings rather than wrecking them. A [[TitleDrop Person of Mass Construction]] can also be a PersonOfMassDestruction, either at different times or by razing the scenery to make room for their own. It can simply be mundane construction, overlapping in video game examples with CommandAndConquerEconomy, and on the other side of the SuperWeight scale, characters with the PowerOfCreation often fit this trope. However, things must actually exist to count as this; Alchemists from Manga/FullmetalAlchemist would count, but not [[ComicBook/GreenLanternCorps Green Lanterns]], as their constructs are temporary. There can be RealLife examples of people or groups that produce improbably large amounts of things.

[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* Almost all alchemists in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' can create anything they want out of the ground, raw materials lying around, or even [[spoiler: their own bodies]].
* Franky in ''Manga/OnePiece'' serves as the Straw Hat Pirates' shipwright and carpenter. In his first arc as a Straw Hat, Thriller Bark, he puts these skills to use by doing things like constructing a very detailed and ornate bridge while the others with him have their backs turned discussing how to cross a huge gap. In the battle with Oars, he constructed a much more simplistic staircase as fast as he and Chopper could climb it to get them into position for a punch to the giant monster's jaw.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' Sburb players usually become this, often turning the houses of their client players [[{{Bizarrchitecture}} into tall and bizare complexes]] by copy-pasting various parts of the already existing house on top of it. The size of the buildings is only limited by the score the client achieves.

* The player character of ''VideoGame/MySimsKingdom'' is part if a legacy of these known as "Wandoliers." As the name suggests, they use a magical wand assigned by the Crown to construct domestic items for the troubled denizens of the kingdom.

* Every character present in ''VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame'' can rapidly create complex structures, assuming a pile of interactive LEGO Bricks are around. This especially goes for characters with {{Telekinesis}} (ex: the Jedi, Wizards, Green Lanterns), who can manipulate LEGO Bricks from a distance.

* When the Dark Curse from ''Series/OnceUponATime'' is enacted, it causes an entire town to form itself in the middle of the woods in Maine, right around the people camping there! A clock tower, a bed-and-breakfast, town hall, the mayor's office, a well, elaborate mines, a port and more all just pop up, just for the price of the heart of one you love most!

* Every character present in ''VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame'' can rapidky create complex structures, assuming a pile of interactive LEGO Bricks are around. This especially goes for characters with {{Tekekinesis}} (ex: the Jedi, Wizards, Green Lanterns), who can manipulate LEGO Bricks from a distance.
