Cosmic Colossus is an ability that grants the wielder immense strength, enhanced by the energy of distant stars and cosmic forces. While not godlike, the user gains the ability to lift massive objects, endure extreme physical stress, and perform feats that would break normal limits. Their muscles glow with subtle cosmic energy, and their physical power is amplified to a level that pushes the boundaries of human and earthly capabilities, making them a formidable force in any situation.
The gift of Cosmic Colossus was passed down through Caine’s Native American ancestors, a power that originated not from earthly forces, but directly from the stars themselves. It began with a celestial encounter long ago, when Caine's first ancestor, Takwah, a great warrior, was chosen by the night sky during a fateful vision quest. On a night when the stars shone brighter than ever, Takwah sought wisdom from the heavens, offering his spirit to the sky in exchange for the strength to protect his people. In response, the stars above shifted and aligned, sending a torrent of starlight cascading down upon him, binding his very being to the cosmic forces.
This celestial power wasn’t an earthly force; it was the raw, untapped strength of the stars themselves—fiery, ancient, and infinite. The stars granted Takwah the ability to harness the essence of the cosmos, amplifying his physical prowess far beyond normal human limits. His muscles became vessels of stellar energy, pulsing with the power of supernovas and quasars. His strength came from the stars' light and gravity, and with it, he could lift massive boulders, move mountains, and withstand blows that would shatter a normal human body.
