Power of the Verse

The verse doesn't have much in strength, characters outside of Strange Men are around Street level with Athletic Human or lower speed, while most characters in Strange Men reach Small Building level and Superhuman speed. However, it does make up for it in some parts with hax. Most noticeably in The Sandman with abilities such as, Dream Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, Reality Warping, Illusion Creation, Time Stop, Wish Granting, etcetera.
