Takion

==Summary==
Takion, formerly a human named Joshua Saunders, was created as an avatar of the Source by Highfather as one potential failsafe against Darkseid's machinations. He is directly linked to the Source and draws power from it, granting him a huge variety of abilities. Takion resisted his new destiny at first, wanting to return to his human life, but eventually grew to accept his cosmic role and moved to New Genesis, where he served as the replacement for Highfather after the latter joined the Source. Though stated to not technically be a New God, Takion was killed alongside all of them in the events preceding Final Crisis, and he is still with them on Earth-51, recuperating, in the Post-Flashpoint continuity.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: Low Multiverse level (The Quantum Field, as well as the Speed Force and the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, are merely parts of Takion's power)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (Has an "eternity" between moments, with Kyle Rayner appearing completely frozen to him)
Lifting Strength: Unknown, at least Class M via telekinesis (Lifted an aircraft carrier)
Striking Strength: Low Multiverse level
Durability: Low Multiverse level (Took numerous attacks from Stayne, his equal in power)
Stamina: Infinite (His power is channeled directly from the infinite Source)
Range: Universal+
Standard Equipment: None originally, later received Highfather's Wonder Staff
Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscient (Takion's connection with the Source allows him to see and know everything on an instinctual level, throughout space and time. However, being a former human, he felt far more comfortable after he turned his omniscience off, and in his standard state he can simply ask the Source for any information he wants to know)
Weaknesses: Takion's mind is still somewhat humanlike, making it difficult for him to adjust to his nigh-omniscience. This resulted in him limiting his awareness, though he can still ask the Source for any information he needs.
