Powers and Abilities
Oblivion possesses cosmic powers which he can use for various effects. Originally Oblivion only had dominance over creatures who did not die, but were wiped out from existence (due to a time paradox or being hit by the Ultimate Nullifier for example), while his counterpart Death was set over the actual dead. In his recent appearances though, Oblivion has used Deathurge and Doorman as "Angels of Death", sending them to bring him the souls of creatures who have actually died.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“All the powers of imagination combine in hypochondria.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
