Yeah but time traveling requires a time machine that uses an extremely rare single use twin micro protonium battery. Where can you find that?
Note: I have no idea what I'm talking about

I don't think he's gonna do that anymore after the harsh experience with Thomas Wayne!
Well, it's called vivid imagination. You know how childr... I mean, ah, fully grown mature adults like me think

If you are able to time travel, you are practically unbeatable, or at least near impossible to be beaten. Heck, even old age can't get you, you could just revert back to the past, and once you lose consciousness you will still be conscious in the living body (if it is the same consciousness), sort of like a constant loop.

I say yes because more than once I've been unable to prevent a future event that I knew was coming. If the knowledge of the future is evidence-based or metaphysically-based, it shouldn't matter.
I think the ultimate superpower is omnipotence, because the first thing you could use it for is to grant yourself omniscience, and then everything else.
But anyway, I think this idea of seeing the future makes a lot of assumptions about the future. Can time be changed? Is it even logically coherent to be able to see the future?
I'm reading a book right now where the protagonist can see the future, but the problem is that no matter what she does, she can't change it. If she tries to change it, then it turns out that she was part of the reason it happened in the first place. So she has become very emotionally unhealthy, suicidal, nihilistic, fatalistic, because she feels that fate already has everything planned out and that knowing about it doesn't help if she can't change anything.
So if your enemy can see the future but also can't change it, then she or he might see her or his own defeat, and be able to do nothing about it. Or, time could work differently, meaning that they only saw one possible future rather than the only fixed future.

It depends on the method of time travel. If you are using a machine, just watch Doctor Who and see why it's not an all-powerful unbeatable thing.

The ultimate super power is the ability to make anyone squirt a quart of diarrehea into their pants at will. Think of all the day-to-day situations that could fix:
45 in the passing lane? Time for a pit stop! Splash!
Reading the menu at McDonalds? It's a %^%$# McDonalds menu! Kasploosh!
Enjoying your phone conversation instead of waiting on my table? Time for a break! Floosh!
