The Power Cosmic is a fictional type of cosmic energy that appears in comic books published by Marvel, most commonly mentioned in stories involving the cosmic entity Galactus and his heralds. It is a force that replaces the "auras" (or souls) of the characters imbued with its properties, causing each wielder's physical form to uniquely adapt in order to store and control it[1] and enables the user to manipulate cosmic energy according to how they desire. Galactus is able to strip the Power Cosmic away from the person to whom he has given it.[2]
The Power Cosmic can be used to achieve the following effects: size-alteration,[3] the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter,[4] the teleportation of objects (including entire galaxies) across space,[3] the creation of force fields,[4] the creation of interdimensional portals,[5] telepathy,[6] telekinesis,[7] cosmic awareness on a universal scale,[8] creating sentient life,[9] resurrecting the dead,[10] manipulating mortal souls,[11] manipulating the memories and emotions of others,[12] remaking dead worlds (including their populations) in every detail,[12] and energy projection.[13]
