While the Truth of the Universe does not appear directly in the manga, Ness is destined to fulfill the same prophecy that his game counterpart does), possible Magicant Creation (It is implied that all humans are able to create a magicant), Attack Reflection with the Franklin Badge and the Mr. Saturn Hat (Was able to reflect Mr. Carpainter's PK Fire with the Franklin Badge. The Mr. Saturn Hat defended Ness from the Starman's PSI blast by outstretching a hand and reflecting the beam)

Resistances: Mind Manipulation and Corruption (Unaffected by Giygas's influence throughout his journey. Dr. Andonuts stated that the chosen ones should be able to pass through Giygas's psycho barrier), Possession (Buzz and Bahuzz were unable to take possession of Ness's body when they first came to Earth, stating that his "spritual circuitry" was too strong)

Standard Equipment:

• Mr. Saturn Hat: A special hat that is able to outstretch a hand to block and reflect attacks.
• Franklin Badge: A badge that reflects PSI attacks.

Standard Tactics: Ness primarily fights by using his bat for melee combat. If he's backed into a corner, he will try to summon energy from an outside source, whether it be the other chosen ones or the Earth itself.

Weaknesses: Ness is unwilling to harm innocent people who are under Giygas's control, as he did not want to attack any of the Happy Happyists.
