Summary

Hax is a catch-all term for abilities that can be used to ignore one or more of an opponent's statistics and effectively render them irrelevant, such as soul-based attacks ignoring conventional durability. This can also be used to describe supernatural abilities in a general sense, or just abilities themselves.

The origin behind the term itself is likely rooted in wordplay. Hacking is whenever a system has been exploited or altered so that something unauthorized may happen. Given that supernatural abilities go against normal "authorized" reality, they can be considered hacks in a way. Hax is a essentially a slang term for hacks.

Take note that hax is relative - while atomic destruction and Time Stop might be considered strong abilities for a Wall level character, they are frequently available to much higher-tiered characters. This applies to all hax. It should also be noted that while Time Stop is considered a strong ability for a Wall level character, that's in comparison to other Wall level characters.

Many Wall level characters can use Time Stop at levels high enough to compare with much higher-tiered characters; the scales of abilities are usually more noteworthy than the abilities themselves, especially in versus threads.
