Powers and Abilities
Captain Comet is supposedly the pinnacle of human evolution. His mutant mental functions not only give him genius level I.Q. but endow him with a photographic memory, telepathy, enabling him to read or control people's minds (including alien races) and communicate his thoughts mentally. He has telekinetic powers, which enable him to use his thoughts to move, lift, and alter matter without physical contact, mentally lift himself to fly at high-speed, create barriers of psychic force to deflect physical attack, and fire bursts of psionic energy that strike with concussive impact or energy, sometimes in electrical or fire form. His telekinetic shield can simultaneously protect him from the vacuum of space and surround himself with a breathable environment.
Captain Comet's brain also contains evolved sensory centers enabling him to clairvoyantly 'see' events outside of his range of sight. His evolved physiology originally made him superhumanly strong and durable, on par with Superman. After his resurrection, however, his physical power was significantly diminished, although his mental abilities have been enhanced; he now exhibits stronger psionic powers, and a teleporting ability that can also encompass others, but normally requires an hour to recharge after every 'jump'.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The art of using moderate abilities to good advantage is a way of stealing the esteem of others, and often brings a man into greater reputation than does real merit.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
