The effective treatment for obsessive whisperings (waswas) is to completely disregard them, to stop being preoccupied with them, to cut off their continuation, not to inquire about them, and to supplicate to Allah for recovery from them, while also consulting psychiatrists. Attempting to treat them by following jurisprudential branches and loopholes is not a cure for them. Regarding characters with superpowers in games or movies, what is permissible is that which does not involve claiming attributes of Lordship or Divinity, is not a form of imitating magic and sorcery, and does not involve a similitude between the Creator and the created.
