	** I kind of think we should stick with levitation as Abu's power. Abu is likely using the levitation to assist in his lifting and hasn't mastered levitation without touching. There is also the Egyptian artifact at the end of the story which Abu lifts with the edges of his fingers at the end of the novel, which may be him trying to master his ability. And if it is a form of super strength, it is only applicable to lifting. I wouldn't mind splitting Abu's power off and calling it "enhanced lifting" since the levitation isn't 100% confirmed, but "super strength" is definately not correct.--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 15:10, 5 February 2008 (EST)		** I kind of think we should stick with levitation as Abu's power.

	*** Abu Aswan's power is levitation, and it says it pretty clearly a few times in the graphic novel. The only time we would "ignore" NBC's intro would be if it conflicted with something within the GN. It does not, we just didn't see Abu using the power in the same way that Khufu's kin did. Besides, Sanjog tells Abu that the pharaoh shared Abu's power. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:38, 5 February 2008 (EST)		*** Abu Aswan's power is levitation, and it says it pretty clearly a few times in the graphic novel.
