Okey doke

I know this ability was in the IStory(demonstrated or not is beyond me) however do we really have enough information to create a page for it?--Steely McBeam - (talk) 08:43, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

  • I think so. There's some more info. I'm adding to it.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:51, 26 March 2009 (EDT)
    • Come on, lets be realistic here, this page shouldn't exist. i mean the image is just poor, but what it would look like :P - but mainly there isnt enough info. --Lolwut 12:04, 27 March 2009 (EDT)
      • This is a demonstrated ability, so it gets a page. Granted, a better image would be nice but we don't really have anything better for the time being.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:10, 27 March 2009 (EDT)

Common name

  • I think "light absorption" is the common name for this ability. It is scientific sounding, and it is used in Marvel for the Lightmaster (a character that appeared in the Spider Man comics), whose suit can absorb light; and in DC Comics, for one of Kimiyo Hoshi's abilities.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:30, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Main Image

Did someone not put in a picture for the main image or is that supposed to be the image?-- Catalyst · Talk · HL 17:15, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

  • That's the best image we have thus far. He makes things pitch black causing total darkness, like in a cave when the lights are turned off. I would prefer to use an image of Abe glowing, but we don't have one yet.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:19, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
    • I love the image we have right now. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:51, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
      • I thought it was a joke. --Litox 23:08, 31 March 2009 (EDT)

Worst Ability Ever?

Name change to umbrakinesis

I guess once the Dark Matters webisode airs on July 24, this power will need to be changed to umbrakinesis.
