Jobu Tupaki!

"Nothing matters."

Jobu Tupaki is a name that strikes fear in people's hearts all across the multiverse. An omniversal being that has set out to spread chaos everywhere it goes. If Jobu Tupaki has set their sights on your world, the only thing you can do is run and hope they lose interest in you. However, as Evelyn Wang would soon discover, there's something much more pressing than just what Jobu Tupaki is, and that's who she is.

In the Alpha universe, the first world to discover the existence of the multiverse, that world's Evelyn discovered a way for people to link minds with their alternate universe selves. The alpha universe got to work training young minds to verse jump, exploring this new frontier. However, one mind in particular showed promise, Evelyn's daughter, Joy Wang. However, Evelyn pushed Joy too hard, causing Joy's mind to shatter from the strain. When her mind was overloaded, it fractured across the infinite multiverse, causing her to experience every version of herself at the same time (as well as acquiring their skills and other reality warping abilities). Joy became extremely nihilistic, bent on causing chaos in the multiverse since, in comparison to an infinitely spanning multiverse, nothing she or anyone else did truly mattered.

Later, she created the 'Everything Bagel', something akin to a black hole, that she hoped would finally kill her for good. However, not wishing to face her fate alone, she searched the multiverse for a version of her mother that could survive having her mind fractured in the same way hers did. Eventually she found one, but that fateful encounter wouldn't go the way she expected.

“Omniversal threat” in this instance likely just means that she can travel to every single universe at will, rather than possessing power that threatens the greater multiverse. Even if she did, that power is pretty clearly not physical but an aspect of her reality warping. Her goal at this point was to find a version of her mom that had her mind shattered the same way she did so that they could jump into the Everything Bagel together. She is pretty blatantly struggling and failing to jump into the bagel in that scene because her family is holding her back, and the scene doesn’t really work if she could actually overpower all of them with ease.
