Powers And Abilities

One of Cosmo’s main abilities is telekinesis. He can move things with his mind and is extremely accurate with it. Along with that he can also control other animals or people’s minds and know what they’re thinking about.

With his telepathic powers Cosmo can do a variety of different things. For defense Cosmo can hide his presence and powers from other psions or psychics.

The power works on anyone he wants to but can be sensed by more powerful beings than him. He can create a psychic shield to protect anybody around him too.

The telepathic illusion skill he has makes intricate illusions and can make people hallucinate for a short period of time.

Using his telepathic camouflage ability he can change the way people perceive things. Doing this allows Cosmo The Spacedog to change how him and his friends look to other people and can even make himself invisible.

The mental paralysis ability can make anyone immobile physically and mentally.

This power is so strong that he made an evil version of the Hulk pass out by just going into his mind. This also allows him to cause amnesia or wipe out any awareness of certain memories.

The mental sedation ability lets Cosmo render his opponents useless for as long as he is constantly using the ability.

He combines this with his Psionic blast to do serious mental damage. The psionic waves can’t harm anyone physically and is used to put people to sleep or change how their brain works.

Cosmo can also detect people that are near him by sensing their brainwaves with his mental detection. Unlike other dogs, his extended longevity lets him live way longer than any other animal.
