47->''A 3-dimensional hologram sprang into being just over their heads. It picked out a portion of the Milky Way Galaxy, then drew in on several planets in distant but related solar systems. From each planet, in turn, images of carnage, wreckage, destruction emerged. [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] and Dev gazed at them. True, they weren’t strangers to sights such as these.

75->''[[VillainProtagonist Danneth]] is eighteen and [[HumanoidAbomination he has the power to eat worlds]]. The government has no choice but to deal with him. At first, the [[SuperpoweredMooks akropolia]] supplement the old forces; they did in the Middle East [[CurbStompBattle in two weeks]] what the president was stumbling over after twenty years. Traditional police are obsolete. Two akropolia can maintain order in each city. Armies follow. Soldiers, weapons, technology, they all become meaningless. [[TheArchmage Danneth]] can render a nuclear reactor inert from halfway across the world. He can boil submarines in the furthest depths of the ocean. He can bring down planes -- or cast a spell that causes the sky to swallow them.''

87->''"Now, as the fable has it, the power that originally forced the Greater Darkness out had broken some important rules to do so. ''[...]'' They're said to have made a weapon which could destroy the universe if used unwisely. So dangerous only the insane would consider even making one, much less using it."\
88"Well, needless to say, the lawbreaker was caught. ''[...]'' In the end [the Isokist] were left with what was apparently an incomplete weapon, but one with some utility."\

Most of the flames landed in San Francisco. Chinatown, Haight, the Mission, all lost. The Golden Gate Bridge turned to slag and slipped into steel in piles of steam. [[MoralEventHorizon More than twenty thousand people died]].\
94Not all the Hierarch's flames met their intended targets. Some fell short. Maybe those were just him warming up. Agnes was at school when two bursts hit Fresno. The one that incinerated the Tower District took both the stationary shop and the chicken pie shop. [[YouKilledMyFather It took both her parents]].''

123'''Lyta Alexander:''' I've only recently begun to understand it myself. You know the Vorlons used telepaths as weapons during the Shadow War, but what no one stopped to consider was that in a war, you have a certain number of small weapons, a certain number of medium-sized weapons... and one or two big ones, the kind of weapons you drop when you're out of the small weapons and the medium weapons and you've got nothing left to use.\
124'''Michael Garibaldi:''' Someone like that would... be the telepathic equivalent of a thermonuclear device, a... a doomsday weapon.\

172Earthquakes stuck every corner of the globe. Skycastles tumbled in the Mountains of Mourn and a ragged breach appeared in [[TheGreatWall the Great Bastion]] of [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Cathay]], through which a hundred thousand vengeful [[HordesFromTheEast Hung Marauders]] swarmed. The lands about ancient Kavzar were blasted apart before being drowned by the sea. Worst hit of all were the World's Edge Mountains, for beneath this range was to be found the [[TunnelNetwork great Underway]] of the Dwarf Empire. Lava surged up from the world's depths to flood the halls of the Dwarfs, and untold numbers were incinerated in an instant.''

If they are not [[MutantDraftBoard controlled]] or [[ShootTheDog purged]], the erratic and awesome forces they can unwittingly unleash may destroy whole settlements or even worlds. Those [[BlessedWithSuck cursed]] with an incredible level of psychic talent are codified by the Black Ships of the Inquisition as [[PowerLevels Alpha-level]] -- the highest category a human psyker can reach. Alpha-level psykers can turn a man inside out with a glance. A mere flick of a wrist can snap a [[HumongousMecha Battle Titan]] in two, or a muttered syllable [[HatePlague turn an army upon itself in a frenzy of bloodlust]]. With such godlike power at their disposal, it is small wonder that Alpha-level psykers are among the most dreaded of foes that the Ordo Hereticus of the Inquisition must face.''

All the darkness would be torn the regions where it was far to early for morning to come. They would become an emptiness where neither light nor shadow reigned and then ''vanish''. Due to that fact, the world could crumble if he merely let go of all restraint and traveled around the globe. Of course, he had no intention of doing so, but there was no denying that he was an entity capable of such destruction.''
