Cataclysm

"[Cat Noir] can use his superpower to destroy anything he touches. Comes in handy for slowing enemies down."

- Marinette

 is a special superpower granted by the Cat Miraculous to its holder.

Description
Cat Noir infuses his ring hand with bad luck energy. Whatever he touches with it is affected negatively: technology malfunctions; solid objects dissolve, corrode, break, or are easily breakable afterward depending on the material; and water evaporates or loses its form if being controlled.

While Cataclysm is a very helpful superpower, Cat Noir must use it wisely, as he can only use it once before reverting back into his civilian form five minutes after using it.
