Powers and Abilities[]
Pariah is one of the smartest characters in the DC Universe and has the ability to travel dimensions and universes, during the events of Dark Crisis he was able to tap into a small portion of the Great Darkness, granting him nigh-omnipotent powers and influence but driving him further into insanity, also by tapping into this forbidden power he was further corrupting the Great Darkness and causing untold cosmic calamity that easily ranked him (at least briefly) as among the most powerful beings in DC's multiverse (though it is worth noting that even at his greatest power Pariah only ever succeeded in capturing a small part of Great Darkness, which is beyond all traditional measure of power).
