Powers and Abilities
The Goddess is the abstract representation of the "positive" emotional elements of Adam Warlock's persona, made manifest into a physical form. Her body has certain cosmic energy receptive-cells, granting her superhuman strength and durability, telepathy, cosmic awareness, and mind-control, the ability to fly at supersonic speed, and the ability to manipulate cosmic energy for a variety of other effects. She is also an accomplished self-taught philosopher, and a master planner and schemer.
Her powers are mostly unconfirmed, since all of the recorded actions of the Goddess were during her possession of the 30 Cosmic Cubes. Nevertheless, since she was able to gather the Cubes in the first place, an extremely high degree of personal power must be assumed, presumably similar to those shared by her "brothers" Warlock and Magus.

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)
“Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
