Mister Majestic - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Majestic possesses great strength, speed, flight, eyebeams, a genius-level intellect, micro vision, ice breath, the ability to survive in space and is invulnerable. He can also project energy from his hands and, in one instance, used this to levitate items. His strength and durability can vary greatly from story to story, but the majority of his appearances portray him with powers fairly similar to those of Superman. Like all Kherubim, he is enormously long-lived if not immortal. Majestic is a Kherubium High Lord, though this seems to be a political or royal title rather than an indication of power.

Most members of the Kherubim Pantheon have been shown to have a combination of at least some of these powers: super strength, super speed, super senses, incredible levels of durability and healing, energy manipulation, psychic powers, flight (in and out of space), hand blasts, laser vision, ice breath and longevity. While Majestic has all these powers, their levels are much higher than any other Kherubim for reasons that are unknown. It has been said that he was enhanced by aliens called the D'rahn (beings capable of prompting evolution in other creatures) in an act called "Enlightenment", but there are no other details. Also, his powers aren’t always as strong as they have been shown. For most of his WildC.A.T.s appearances his strength, speed and intelligence, while still great, were not at such levels as they are in his other appearances. Later books have him doing things like easily moving planets, flying through the center of the sun, moving at faster-than-light-speeds for months at a time and building complex machines in nanoseconds. Unlike most heroes with super strength, Majestic has also been trained to use bladed weapons with great skill and is a master of armed and unarmed combat. In the armor he wears on his shoulders, he carries an invisibility suit, a double-bladed invisible sword and pills that take away his powers in case he needs to work stealthily in places where his power signature would give him away. He can infiltrate areas with even the highest security in order to take them down from the inside. Majestic is a Kherubim Lord and all Lords have psychic abilities. He hasn’t shown much in the way of offensive uses psychic powers, but he has immense amounts of raw psychic power and potential and has been able to resist the efforts of other psychics. He has used telekinesis as well but only on one occasion.

Aside from his physical strength and psychic powers, Majestic is a genius. His intelligence (and control over his body) allows him to use his powers in unique ways. For example, he once displayed that he knows how to manipulate photons and transmit information and data with his eye beams and used this ability to rewrite Eradicator's genetic code (subatomic programming), giving him cross-dimensional awareness. He's also used his laser vision to turn a star ingot into a replacement for the sun as well as alter the composition of Jupiter on a pre-atomic level. By using his intelligence with his super speed he can create things he imagines within seconds. Two of his named inventions were the Molecular Disentangler, used to detach a shape shifter's mind from the building it was controlling; and Planet Movers, gloves that let him move planets without them being destroyed by their own weight. Majestic has also built ships for interstellar travel, sentient machines, bombs, mechanical combat suits and other things using scrap metal and other basic resources. He usually has access to highly advanced Kherubim Technology that he can use, but sometimes he doesn't and has to make do with what he can find. To aid in his creating, he built a Kherubim Forge powered by “pure primal energy operating in tandem with arcane alien metallurgy”. When faced with obstacles that can’t be overcome with brute strength, Majestic can evaluate a situation to find the proper solution and implement it correctly. He is knowledgeable in many fields (including physics, cosmology, chemistry, engineering, biology, earth and alien technology) and has more than once shown himself to be as smart as, if not smarter than, the most brilliant minds on his and even other planets. When he met and became one of the Universals, Majestic inherited his father's position as a guardian of Life itself. As a result, his powers were raised to even higher levels. When he returned to Earth after other adventures he said that he'd gotten over being a Universal. He no longer carried the title, but he didn't lose his powers. Mr. Majestic also has the ability to alter reality, but has only done so twice. The first time was in order to trick a universe devouring entity and the second was when all of creation was coming to an end and he and the three other beings at the end of time wanted to create a new universe. Kherubim are able transcend their natural states and become things known as High Lords. What exactly being a High Lord entails isn't known (when Emp, another Kherubim did it, he seemingly died in a burst of energy and hasn't been heard from again), but Majestic becoming a Universal has been referenced since then as him reaching that state of being.

When he is transported to Metropolis, he says that he is able to sense that he is in a different universe, though it is unclear if this is a specific ability or just a quickly drawn conclusion. Majestros demonstrated this power again in Countdown: The Search for Ray Palmer: Wildstorm. Majestic is able to sense the presences of Kyle Rayner, Donna Troy, Jason Todd and Bob the Monitor in his universe and is able to locate them before they are beaten by the Authority.

Majestic is also a skilled warrior, especially in the use of bladed weapons like most Kherubim warriors.

When Majestic and the WildC.A.T.s were being attacked by a shape-shifting building, he scans it on a molecular level and decides he needs to go build something. On the very next page, he's returned. He's researched and built a brand new piece of technology almost instantly. (The time it took to build the machine is measured in nanoseconds and thousandths of a second.) In Savant Garde, Majestic and Savant are sent to an alternate Earth heavy in magic users. He shows some major magical resistance here, ignoring powerful magical blasts being thrown at him. He even gets turned to stone and has turned himself back to normal by the next page. During issue #1 of Mr. Majestic, he moves around the solar system and performs a variety of feats. Aside from moving around planets, Majestic uses his eye-beams to change the chemical composition of Jupiter, catches a comet and adds it as another planet to the solar system, and spends weeks in the center of the sun. Before he leaves he does something involving ancient rituals and secret equations to become one with the cosmos. It only takes moment, but in that time he’s able to alter reality to create a brand new sun. In the same issue, he flies (under his own power) out of the Milky Way Galaxy and back to Earth in less than a year, which puts him somewhere around a few thousand times faster than light. After a ship the size of a mountain crashes on Earth, he picks it up and flies it to Pluto in under two hours. Majestic moved a literal mountain-sized object at multiples of light speed. He also traveled from Earth to Saturn in less time than it took one of his enemies to utter a sentence. At one point, Majestic is transported to the DC Universe. In Metropolis, he flies into a diner for some coffee and realizes he has no money. To pay for his drink, he crushes carbon from a pencil into diamonds. When attacked by an upgraded Eradicator later on, Majestic uses his laser vision to manipulate photons in order to reprogram Eradicator in mere moments. In addition to super strength, super speed, super intelligence, multi-purpose laser vision, and energy/matter manipulation powers, Majestic also has super senses. He uses his eyesight to detect the radiation of an active nuclear warhead. When sent to the DCU, he senses the difference between dimensions. He also is able to detect the difference in the atomic structure of matter and also measure the disturbance in causality and the way time flows. He is also able to see the Kirlian auras (life force) of the people around him. One of the greatest examples of his durability was when he stood at the center of an explosion that destroyed Earth and the Moon, and survived.

Superhumans in the WildStorm Universe are apparently categorised into named "classes". Characters such as Apollo and The High are considered to be "Majestic-Class superhumans", presumably a class based on Majestros himself.
