![]() And this is where he definitively edges out Manhattan. Manhattan, otherwise Rorschach’s death at the end of the original graphic novel could have been avoided altogether, for example. In other words - and this sounds paradoxical - he could keep Martha and Thomas Wayne from being killed, but still make sure Bruce Wayne becomes Batman. He can hold all the threads of time in his hand and change what happened without altering everything that will be. He can exist in multiple segments of time, meaning that he can occupy the present laterally, and slip into the past as an observer or as a participant. Basically anything that is energy (which atomically is everything in the known universe) is something he can manipulate at will. What’s more, no longer requiring sleep, he can change the chemical composition of soil to make it fertile, and he can read minds. Ion also comes equipped with a whole array of secondary powers that aren’t exactly unimpressive, such as the ability to be absolutely undetectable by molding space/time around him, manipulating sound waves as he wishes, unlocking the full potential of his brain and materializing physical matter. He is unbound by space and time, the only limitation on his power is his will. Moreover, he can literally be watching every world in the galaxy, every minute of every day. Meanwhile he fixes the bay doors of an orbiting space shuttle, scuttles an alien mutiny, and ends a civil war on the distant planet of Tendax. He can simultaneously be drawing comics in his apartment, materializing food in Uganda, preventing a drive-by shooting down the block, stopping a truck from crashing into a packed supermarket in Mexico, stopping a bank robbery in London, stopping a tractor from sliding down a cliff in Iowa - and that’s just on Earth. The scope of his actions in the galaxy is virtually limitless. Related: Green Lantern Kyle Rayner: DC Comics’ Most Versatile Lantern Explained
