“Omniponent” gets 5000 hits on Google
It could just be a typo, but it could be based on confusion with “opponent”. Omni-ponent: one who is both opponent and ally, someone feared by both sides of a battle. Or just an opponent who can beat everybody. At least that’s how I thought of the word when I was about 8 or 9.
