Talk:Cosmic Energy Manipulation/@comment-38197911-20190117042620

It's interesting. One thing that may have to be defined is the difference between cosmic powers & cosmic energy manipulation (i.e what The Eternals & Thanos possess) versus The Power Cosmic (What Galactus possesses).

Via different comics description, I think The Power Cosmic is an energy source specifically associated with the Initial Singularity and Galactus's Life Force (Galactus predated the last 2 Marvel multiverses). Beings who use it have their souls replaced, can time travel, can evolve organisms, can manipulate any energy / radiation, can manipulate matter, can manipulate inter & intra-dimensional spaces, can negate / remove the powers of other beings, can use universal cosmic awareness, and can travel to hyperspace. Galactus himself can do more, including create / recreate life, manipulate souls, and discharge energy enough to threaten a multiverse.
