History

An ancient, tentacled entity named Annona, also responsible for the Dreaming Plague, granted a group of female Skrall powerful Psionics abilities. However, she did this inconspicuously, and the empowered Skrall believed the Great Being Angonce was responsible.

The Great Beings, powerful inventors, experimented with giving their subjects a variety of powers. The results of their activities formed the Element Lords of Spherus Magna, who were each given control over a respective Element. The Great Beings would later come to refine this ability when creating the Matoran Universe, endowing the primary species of the universe with repressed Elemental Powers. The evolved form of a Matoran, a Toa, was granted full command of a certain natural power. Other beings were also given Elemental Powers, such as the Bahrag and then robotic creations like the Bohrok. Some species, Rahi, and even objects such as Kanohi and Kanoka gained less potent abilities.

Mata Nui, host of the Matoran Universe, was given the ability to imbue powers into beings. He created various beings, including more Matoran and the Makuta species, who were granted both the elemental power of Shadow and an additional forty-two powers to help them contend with the Rahi they were intended to create. One of these powers can be passed on to a Kraata produced from a Makuta, and in turn the Rahkshi it may become. The Brotherhood of Makuta also gave powers to many of their Rahi creations, including the Visorak.

Matoran Universe crafters such as the Matoran, the Vortixx, and Artakha would also learn to create objects with powers, such as Kanoka, Kanohi, and various artifacts and weapons.

List of Powers

Elemental Powers

Predominantly used throughout the Matoran Universe, but present on Spherus Magna as well, Elemental Powers allow the creation and manipulation of forces of nature.

Sub-Powers

Several powers exist that involve manipulating only a certain portion of an Elemental Power:

  • Heat - Allows the user to create, control, and absorb heat; a Fire-based power
  • Vacuum - Allows the user to create and control vacuums; an Air-based power
  • Cyclone - Allows the user to create a whirlwind of air; an Air-based power

Abilities

Rhotuka being launched

Abilities are a specific manifestation of powers, wherein users take a naturally occurring trait and use it to perform a power.

Elemental-Based Abilities

  • Nova Blast - Allows the user to release all of their Elemental Power at once in a massive, extremely destructive blast. Possessed by Toa. The Glatorian granted Elemental Powers by Mata Nui could also create an equivalent blast, but doing so would kill them, as their bodies were not designed to handle such a blast.
  • Shadow Hand - Allows the user to release a hand of pure Shadow capable of grabbing and absorbing objects or other beings. The absorption kills the absorbed being, but grants the wielder extra energy. Possessed exclusively by the Makuta. A Shadow-based ability.

  • Shapeshifting - Allows the user to change their appearance to another form with the same mass. Also often allows mimicry of voices. Possessed by numerous beings in the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna.

Rhotuka Powers

Various Rahi and sentient beings in the Matoran Universe are gifted with natural Rhotuka Launchers that allow them to fire spinning wheels of energy that can be manipulated with their thoughts.
