The Mast's 30 Days of Comicdom (Day 11): What Is Your Favourite Power?

You think that because a guy reads comics that he can't start some shit?!

Before I get into this, I just want to give a very simple piece of information out to my readers, however many there may be.

Tomorrow (At latest, Friday) there will be an EPIC post. Just keep your eyes peeled.

The Mast's 30 Days of Comicdom (Day 11): What Is Your Favourite Power?

Do you think you guessed what this one is?


Total and Complete Control of...Everything.

Yes, that's right!

I didn't pick a ring that affords the wearer special powers, I didn't pick someone who is blind and can see via echolation, nor a man with the ability to shoot webbing from his hands.

My favourite power, if you can call it such, is the ability that all comic abstracts possess. You know, whether it's in D.C. or Marvel, Vertigo or wherever else, that if cosmic abstracts show up, shit is serious.

It's a hard concept to wrap your head around unless you find this kind of thing interesting, but just imagine being able to do ANYTHING. Yes, flying would be awesome, so would super strength. Imagine the ability to make your very thought come true, become real and materialise as you think of it. Just consider that you have the ability to perceive and control time itself. Trippy, huh? Past, present and future or all three at once, yours to bend and command.

The possibilities are, quite literally, endless. Such users of these abilities include most of the Marvel and D.C. abstracts, Dr. Manhattan and The Beyonder etc.

I suppose that if I had to pick a fairer power, I would go with the likes of Superman. I'd like the ability to do everything on SOME level. Either a cosmic or minor scale, really. I'm a megalomaniacal control freak at heart, what can I say?

Sorry that this one is a bit short, but it IS an abstract power!

What would you choose? Let me know in a comment! Thank you for reading and prepare for the epicness of post-al announcements tomorrow!

Until next time, peace.
