- Powers That Be is a saying in The Pretender series about someone who is higher up in charge. Also referred to as PTB, the Powers That Be are mentioned in the episode PTB by Neil, and Jarod appears not to know the reference, but he quickly catches on.

This entry refers to the thing that is represented by a character, rather than the character itself. Not all Big Bads are mysterious enough to be Powers That Be, and not all Powers That Be are threatening enough to be Big Bads.

If the powers are warring with each other, it could be Heaven and Hell. Contrast Pals with Jesus, where the relationship is entirely personal and personable. See also Physical God. Sometimes, this term is used by fans to refer to network executives or other forces behind a work's fate. Not to be confused with Anne McCaffrey's Petaybee series, which has this at the title of the first book and an alternate series title. Examples of Powers That Be include:
