## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Eternal Physiology:** Ikaris is one of the most powerful Eternals in existence and the second most powerful on Earth, second only to Zuras. Like all Eternals, Ikaris' life force is augmented by cosmic energy, and he has total mental control over his physical form and bodily processes even when he is asleep or unconscious.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Ikaris is stronger than the average Eternal and most others, with the exceptions of Thanos, Gilgamesh, Interloper, and Hyperion of Earth-712. He is capable of fighting powerful opponents such as the Red Hulk and Thanos on equal grounds.
* **Enhanced Durability:** He has an extraordinary level of durability that enables him to survive being submerged in lava or struck by the Red Hulk and Hercules. Among the Earth-bound Eternals, his durability is only surpassed by Zuras.
* **Enhanced Stamina:** Cosmic energy bolsters Ikaris' metabolism so that he does not tire from any physical exertion.
* **Enhanced Regeneration:** Should Ikaris be somehow injured, he can regenerate any injured or missing tissue. An Eternal can only die through an injury that disperses a significant portion of their body's molecules or if they are injured after their mental control over their body's molecules are somehow broken.
* **Flight:** Ikaris can levitate himself by mentally manipulating gravitons around himself. He can also levitate other people and objects while simultaneously levitating himself. Ikaris is able to fly at approximately 850 miles per hour (1.1 times the speed of sound), a rate of speed most other Eternals cannot match.
* **Telepathy:** Ikaris has low level psychic abilities that enable him to scan the superficial thoughts of any mind less adept than his own. He has also used his telepathic powers to comunicate for a short time with Sersi.
	+ **Illusion Manipulation:** He can mentally create illusions so as to disguise himself.
	+ **Mind Manipulation:** He managed to mentally control Yellowjacket.
	+ **Telepathic Communication**
* **Telekinesis:** Ikaris is a highly adept psychokinetic who can mentally control and rearrange matter on an atomic level, being able to construct a ship from its base parts with the power of his thoughts.
	+ **Matter Transmutation:** He can psionically manipulate atoms and molecules so as to transform an object's shape. However, Ikaris is only a second-level adept on a five-level scale in this discipline.
		- **Force Field Generation:** He can rearrange molecules in the air so as to create a virtually impenetrable shield about himself.
* **Energy Blasts:** Ikaris can project cosmic energy in the form of beams from his eyes or beams and flashes from his hands. This cosmic energy, stored in specialized enclaves in the cells of his body, can be released as force, heat, light, and possibly even other forms of electromagnetic energy. He can project a maximum concussive force of at least 260 pounds per square inch. The maximum range of his energy beams is about 200 feet. On a five-level scale, Ikaris is a fourth level adept in this discipline. The expenditure of cosmic energy in this way continually for several hours will temporarily deplete Ikaris' physical strength (but not his durability) and increase his sensitivity to pain. He will rapidly return to his normal levels of strength and pain sensitivity after such lengthy energy expenditure is over.
	+ **Heat Generation:** He can produce a maximum temperature of at least 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to melt iron. It takes about one minute for him to attain this maximum temperature. Because his beams of heat can vaporize solid objects, they are often referred to as "disintegration beams".
	+ **Light Blasts**
* **Teleportation:** Ikaris can teleport himself psionically, although he prefers not to do this since he finds the self-teleportation process to be physically unpleasant, something shared by all Eternals. He can also teleport other people along with himself.
* **Enhanced Senses:** Through thousands of years of training, Ikaris has vastly sharpened his senses to the point that he was able to warn the rest of the Eternals when the Celestials had returned.
* **Immortality:** Ikaris is unable to die by old age.
	+ **Enhanced Immunity:** He is resistant to diseases.
	+ **Toxin Resistance:** He is resistant to toxins.
* **Uni-Mind:** All Eternals are capable of joining the Uni-Mind, an amalgamation of two or more Eternals that embodies the collective will and intelligence of the joined Eternals.
