the problem is a lot of Sonic fans still think Infinite is the "most powerful villain in Sonic universe" due to Forces hyping him up so much in  the trailers.. when in the actual game he is actually only that powerful for varied reasons : 1) a new cosmic device (Phantom Ruby) / 2) Eggman going completely insane even by his standards, thus Infinite gets unlimited access to whatever madness Eggman can unleash and 3) no chaos-emeralds (that I know of) - if chaos emeralds were around and we got Super Sonic, Super Shadow etc then things would be different.

also Eggman himself showed that the Phantom Ruby is far from omnipotent-granting as he stood happily and watched as the "sun" was going to wipe out the planet - because he would not be harmed, being outside the Ruby's influence at the time (in other words Eggman was outside the "Matrix" - the virtual reality world of Ruby is thus limited, like a bubble).

if Infinite does have reality warping powers they are not on the level of Mad Jim Jaspers or other omnipotents, I'd say at best they are on the level of a planet-buster.. which is below even Silver Surfer (as I said above).
