The Marvel Comics crossover series "House Of M" showed just how powerful she is. With one use of her powers, she altered reality and made mutants the dominant species on Earth and put normal humans on the path to extinction. With another use of her powers she restored the world back to the way it was with the following difference: the total number of mutants in the world was reduced to a very small number (IIRC it was less than 300). She also made it so there would be no more mutants.

A character from DC Comics with a related power is Major Disaster. He's able to see all probabilities based on any action and, by taking a specific action, can alter events to achieve the results he wants. As an example from one story: He shoots out one traffic light in Gotham City with a BB gun. Due to a chain reaction of events caused by that one small action it resulted in nuclear missiles being transported through the middle of Gotham City to the exact position where his associates are waiting to steal them.
