For a fictional example on the Batman rather than Superman level of superpower, Miles Vorkosigan in Bujold's The Warrior's Apprentice. Everyone he runs into becomes a component of his schemes.
At the non-superpower levels, many successful political orators (and demagogues) would qualify.
And another fictional example would be Aes Sedai from the Wheel of Time series.
