Eon (comics) - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

The full extent of Eon's powers was unknown. His most famous power was his cosmic awareness which served as a form of omniscience about anything Eon wished to know. His vast intellect was capable of gleaning any and all information in the entire universe given sufficient time; how long this took depended on the nature of the information. Certain information such as concerning cosmic beings was more easily accessed than other information. One description had it as one searching the memory of a giant computer. Eon could also bestow cosmic awareness to the full amount on other beings such as he did with Captain Mar-Vell and Quasar.

Eon was a small universe-sized organism capable of extending pseudopods of his substance into Earth's dimension. One such pseudopod was one believed to be Eon in its entirety. Eon was able to grow and animate pseudopods at will. It could also generate arms out of an unidentified form of energy and reanimate dead bodies. Eon very probably had other physical powers than he was observed using. It sustained itself by living off the radiation left over from the Big Bang.

Eon possessed other abilities, but due to the being's passive nature the full extent has not been demonstrated. Known abilities include the reanimation of dead tissue, the ability to transport itself and others across dimensions, create dimensional portals, levitation and control its size. It also created a pocket dimension where it created imprints of all the previous protectors.

Its child Epoch demonstrated the ability to fire powerful blasts of energy, a power Eon may have had.

Oblivion described Eon as one of the beings who were the embodiments of Time, and based on its appearances after its death it seems to have had time manipulation powers to an unknown degree.

It was implied that along with its passive nature Eon was bound by certain agreements that may have limited how much it could use its own power to defend itself.
