Weakest character that can takke over the real world
Who can bring all significant political and economic institutions in the world, be them national/supranational entities or private ones, under direct or indirect control with the least amount of power?
Any method whatsoever is allowed and they can take their time to do it.
1. Let's say they have 10 years.
2. 1 year maximum
any method is acceptable: overt conquest, assassination, mindcontrol, manipualtion etc.
any superpowers will function normally, but they'll have to make due with whatever technology they can scrape up from the real world. any theoretically plausible tech within the scope of the mad scientists' intellects/knowledge can be created if the raw materials exist.

IMO pretty much anybody who can survive a nuke can take over our earth, as that is out most powerful weapon.
Any telepath who can affect minds on a global scale could do pretty easily.
Technopathy would be a very easy route in today's society, if somebody could crash/takeover earth's technology they could easily send us back to the dark ages.
Intangibility would be a very easy method too, simply go wherever you want, access to anything you want, cannot be harmed by any means.
Weather Control would be insanely powerful on the real earth.
Ra's al Ghul with connections.
Lex Luthor either manipulate/blackmail eveyone, or just straight up walk the UN and declares himself Emperor of the world. Anyone who disagrees gets there country nuked because he already hacked all the system in the World. Luthor being ego manic that he is would give the world back and try to find a way to go back to the comics because Superman's not there to challenge.

surviving a nuke isnt enough as folks like regular colossus can probably survive a nuke and he cant take over the world.
technopathy is good, but crashing systems wouldnt suffice, one must be able to control geopolitics in a global scale.
what I want is people with the means and the smarts to do it. even powerful people may not be good enough strategists, propagandists etc.

The Flash says hi.
But the Speed Force eliminates him here, as it is a perpetually accelerating ball of energy that builds exponential momentum every moment.
