Definition
无所不能 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'nothing you cannot do.' It describes someone or something with extremely broad abilities, almost godlike versatility. You can use it as a predicate (他无所不能) or an attributive (无所不能的英雄). The structure is 无 + 所 + 不 + 能, literally 'without that which cannot be done.'
