Captain Universe is the generic name for the recipient of the Uni-Power, a special kind of energy that endows an individual with a host of superhuman powers. The Uni-Power is a manifestation of the Enigma Force, an extradimensional energy originating in the subatomic realm called the Microverse, wielded by the etheral Time Travelers. The Uni-Power appears to be a floating globule of luninescent energy that appears seemingly from out fo nowhere to engulf an individual, conferring upon him or her the costume, powers and knowledge of Captain Universe. The Uni-Power only manifests itself in a time of crises--be it personal or worldwide--and withdraws when the crisis has abated. How it chooses the individual who gets full possession of the Uni-Power to solve his or her crisis is nto yet known. The Uni-Power does not remain unmanifest for very long. It transfers from one person to another across the face of the world with no perceptible time lapse between. At all times somewhere on Earth there is a Captain Universe (once, a pair of twins were Captain Universe simultaneously).
The Uni-Power can be manipulated by each Captain Universe in variety of ways, dependent upon each recipient's imagination and strength. The Uni-Power amplifies strength about fifty times. Thus if a person can normally lift (press) 150 pounds, he or she would now be able to lift approximately 7,500 pounds. Each Captain Universeis is also granted the ability to fly by harnessing the Uni-Power's energy to generate antigravitons. The Uni-Power also grants the ability to manipulate the moleculer structure of objects, changing one shape to another, or even transmuting the elements of an object from one substance to another. This power of molecular manipulation extends to both organic and inorganic matter. Thus the Uni-Power can be used to heal wounds by rearranging the molecules of flesh, tissues, or organs, or it can be used to alter the physical characteristics of a person (enlarging in the hands or changing their features). The Uni-Power can also be wielded like an energy-beam, generating a luminous burst of energy with a concussive force determined to an extent by the user's ability. The Uni-Power also grants each Captain Universe Uni-Vision which enables the user to see though walls, or to see long distances away . The Uni-Vision is emitted by Captain Universe's eyes and produces a visible beam of energy. This is energy has certain hypnotic side-effects: a skillful wielder of the Uni-Vision can use it to hypnotize people into telling the truth.
So far, the identities and exploits of but a handful of Captain Universes have been disclosed. The Majority are listed in the CU pics area
