History

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Vartox is possessed of Hyper-Power which he manifests in a variety of ways to fight crime. These variations include such powers as Hyper-vision (and other Hyper-senses), Hyper-teleportation, Hyper-remote-control-blows (a form of telekinesis), telekinesis, and Hyper-charges (spherial globes of energy) --including the powerful Hyper-obliteration-charge.

• His Hyper-Powers can also be used to temporarily dematerialize solid matter, enabling him to pass through barriers unharmed. As well, Vartox has a Hyper-body which he has described as "an ethereal Hyper-body which dwells within my physical essence. On occasion this 'phantom self' has been dispatched into action without my knowledge --directed by my own subconscious wishes."^[1]
• He can also become a being of pure hyper-energy, able to defy gravity and the laws of physics. He can also fire blasts of heat and cold, which can burn a person or freeze them in place. His hyper-energy can also be shaped to make objects, such as nets and force bubbles. As his powers are psychic, he is also telepathic, allowing him to fire mind bolts, communicate mentally, read minds, and cast illusions.

• Vartox is also super-strong, invulnerable, and able to fly (a power which may be augmented by devices attached to his boots). He is able to temporarily transfer these powers to others. As well, he can communicate via ultra-wave lengths while in space.

• Vartox is also an accomplished inventor and scientific genius.

Notes

• This version of Vartox (Earth-One), including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the Multiverse in the 1985-86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series and is now considered apocryphal.
