I am trying to find a similar question but they all seem to suggest something completely different.
I want to create a superscript for a superscript. Essentially: 2^2^n

A superscript of a superscript should be grouped. So, depending on what you're after exactly, you can do:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$2^{2^n}\ {2^2}^n$
\end{document}
The first example is 2
to the power (2^n
); using a similar syntax, the styles used are \textstyle^{\scriptstyle^\scriptstyle}
. The second example is (2^2
) to the power n
with the styles denoted by {\textstyle^\scriptstyle}^\scriptstyle
.
$(2^2)^n$
.
