Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, the Possessor was a tall, imposing male extraterrestrial humanoid who personified an ancient, monomaniacal scholar driven completely mad by isolation. He possessed a long physical height standing at six feet five inches, paired with a powerful, heavy body build that entirely lacked any organic human warmth or hair, showcasing a completely smooth scalp. His face was deeply lined, characterized by a stark complexion and a pair of opaque, completely blind, pupilless eyes that remained fixed in a vacant, yet deeply suspicious glare. The Possessor’s attire consisted of an elegant, flowing cosmic robe styled after historical academic vestments, featuring loose-fitting dark green fabrics that draped heavily around his tall frame, a high stiff collar, and an unadorned sash fastened securely around his waist. He continuously held the long, metallic Runestaff in his right hand, relying on the artifact to guide his physical movements and serve as his primary anchor within his desolate domain. (Thor v1 #235)
Powers and abilities
The Possessor belonged to an exceptionally rare, ancient cosmic classification known as the Elders of the Universe, being one of the last survivors of the first intelligent races to evolve shortly after the Big Bang. On a basic feats level, this specialized primordial physiology granted him absolute immunity to organic aging, terrestrial diseases, starvation, and mortal physical exhaustion. He was an exceptional member of this immortal collective, having spent eons channeling the Power Primordial—residual energy left over from the creation of the universe—specifically into a monomaniacal focus to increase his own intellect, memory capacity, and mental discipline. The Possessor wielded the specialized Runestaff, a potent alien artifact capable of directly manipulating the life force of living beings, allowing him to siphon vitality from his opponents or inadvertently trap thousands of sentient souls within a pocket limbo dimension contained inside the weapon's matrix. He held no biological vulnerabilities to conventional human weaponry, allowing his cosmic frame to survive indefinitely on barren alien worlds without requiring food, water, or life-support apparatuses. (Thor v1 #235)
