Omniscience is the ability to have unlimited knowledge, understanding, wisdom and awareness of anything and everything infinitely. No-one, not even the Primordial Beings, is truly omniscient.
Capabilities[]
The capacity to know everything that there is to be known.
There is a distinction between this power:
- inherent omniscience - the ability to know anything that one chooses to know and can be known.
- total omniscience - actually knowing everything that can be known.
The user's mind is unblocked to the entirety of all existence; they know every answer to every question; past, present, and future. However, the user to may or may not have all information at all times, as some knowledge may be spontaneous while some may effect the action of others.
Nigh-Omniscience[]
Nigh-Omniscience is the power to know almost too very nearly everything in existence.
Capabilities[]
User knows almost everything in existence while being blocked from certain details or being limited in other ways, possibly only being able to see one timeline or universe, or have just small patches of information that are missing or blocked out. Thus allowing one to keep their sense of free will and uncertainty.
Characters with this ability[]
- Primordial Beings - As the oldest, wisest, and most powerful beings of all, the Primordial Beings essentially know everything.
- God (nigh-omniscient) - God is nearly infinitely intelligent, wise, all-knowing, and all seeing. However, even His knowledge and intelligence have limits. Additionally, His intelligence is only potentially rivaled by Oracle and his knowledge is superior to even the Primordial Beings, as He is the oldest. He is instinctively aware of anything that happens in the world.
- Jennavieve (nigh-omniscient) - As the embodiment of life itself, Eve is nearly omniscient and her knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom rivals that of her twin brother Death, with her intelligence and wisdom being equal to even God Himself.
- Death (nigh-omniscient) - As the embodiment of demise itself, Death is nearly omniscient and is nearly infinitely intelligent and wise with only Oracle capable of potentially rivaling his wisdom and intelligence. However, Death's knowledge surpasses Oberon and Magnus, as he is older. However, like God, even his knowledge is limited, albeit barely.
- Magnus (nigh-omniscient) - As the embodiment of space and the Speed Force, Magnus is nearly omniscient, having an insane amount of knowledge of the Multiverse. However, her intelligence and wisdom is rivaled only by her siblings and Oracle.
- Oberon - As the embodiment of time, Oberon is nearly omniscient, having an incalculable amount of knowledge of the Multiverse. His knowledge and wisdom is rivaled only by his siblings and Oracle.
- Oracle (nigh-omniscient) - Being the Original Angel, Oracle is practically omniscient. He has immensely tremendous knowledge of anything that vastly surpass all beings and is nearly equivalent to the Primordial Beings themselves. His intelligence and wisdom is nearly absolute and perhaps rivals even his father's.
- Jesus Christ (nigh-omniscient) - He is almost omniscient, though not quite to the same level as Oracle or the Primordial Beings.
Cosmic Awareness or Cosmic Knowledge[]
Cosmic Awareness is the power and ability to be aware of anything that affects the user on a universal scale and to know, and understand, what's transpiring across the universe, and it's fluctuations and changes. It is a sub-power of Omniscience/Nigh-Omniscience.
Cosmic Knowledge is the power to possess immense knowledge of the universe. A sub-power of Omniscience/Nigh-Omniscience. Not to be confused with Cosmic Awareness.
Capabilities[]
- Cosmic Awareness - User is aware of anything that affects them on a universal scale, including threats, anything that would affect them in any way or even somebody talking about them.
- Cosmic Knowledge - The user possesses immense knowledge of the universe. They are aware of most things such as powerful spells, advanced science, where to find someone, etc. Some users knowledge may exceed others with the same power, as there may be some things the user is unaware of.
