| “ | Tick-tock, tick-tock. Girl. Sacrifice. All my poor stray lambs. Wretched sinners, young, and old. Repent for the time is close at hand. The hour of judgement comes. Show me your tears if you please. Bare me your souls, if you please. For all your tragedies, in their millions. Bestow upon me only strength. Hear me, wretched sinners. Rejecters of the pure salvation that I offer. My poor, absurd little Memories. Would you cling to the eternal? Do you seek that which is noble? Pointless, pointless. All things are devoid of meaning. For example- What could be more meaningless than things forgotten? | „ |

Powers and Abilities:
- Abstract Existence (Type 1 - Edison consumed Yog Sothoth to become one of the traits of the Universe, space-time.[1] He is also the very concept of darkness.[2] He has the same name, function and existence as M, who is the Pitch Black ether that drifts between the planets and encompasses the entire universe. He is one of the three elements that make up the world along with time and space.[3] He existed before the creation of the universe,[4] but disappeared when God said let there be light, and is the reason why the night is scary. He is a conceptual entity that is of Jet Black, his "Jet Black" being beyond time, space and causality[5])
- Telepathy (Can telepathically[6] communicate with others)
- Fate Manipulation (Preordained that nobody[6] would listen to Peter,[6] and also preordained that Lily[7] would destroy the Underground[7])
- Cosmic Awareness (Edison can see the entirety of the Underground,[8] and is able to watch the events unfolding[9] in the parallel world of Karashrer)
- Holy Manipulation, & Unholy Manipulation (Edison is both holy and unholy[8])
- Absorption, & Space-Time Manipulation (Devoured Yog Sothoth, who controlled all of space-time,[1] to become all of space-time. From him, came the tick-tock of the clock.[8] Can show others the future.[10] Has the same exact name, function and existence as M, who stopped the time[4] of the entire world,[4] can loop time[4] to make the same day occur endlessly)
- Nonduality (Type 1 - Edison exists within the furthest reaches of the Underground, which is a void, yet also doesn't exist within the Underground.[12] He is both holy and unholy[8])
- Cracking (Wields the power[7] of the Cracking Effect, and it's power comes from him.[7] Bestows Cracking to others, such as The Society, and Cracking brings about the work of God/Edison, thus should have all Cracking related abilities)
- Madness Manipulation (Type 2 - Can drive people insane[10])
- Nonexistent Physiology (Nature Type 2, & 3; Aspect Type 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 - Has the same exact function, existence, and even name as M, who is a fantasy whose nature is akin to an illusion that is there yet not there, and is also the same as Sharnoth, an eternal world of nothingness with no sound, color, nor time existing there. Sharnoth is a realm of infinite darkness that has absolutely nothing yet paradoxically, everything also exists there. No one exists within Sharnoth, while simultaneously everyone exists there. Sharnoth is nothing precisely because M feels absolutely nothing. The entire Underground is just a dream, it doesn't actually exist.[11] It is a void,[7] which no one will remember, and no soul can enter,[7] yet is made from the memories of the dead.[7] When a person fades to nothingness, they lose the data that composes them.[13] Edison has no emotions[10] nor a soul,[10] he is the dead thing[7] at the center of the ultimate void of chaos, the white void beyond the furthest reaches of the abyss of space.[2] He is the Black God on the Throne,[7] which is at the summit of the violet tower,[7] which exist beyond[11] the void of the Underground, and is where[7] the Underground originated.[7] Despite being visible[14] from anywhere within the Underground, the violet tower is impossible to reach by walking or train,[7] and even after the laws which shaped, and gave form to the Underground were destroyed, erasing the Underground from existence,[7] the violet tower still existed.[7] Edison exists in a void,[8] yet it's not a void[8])
- Inorganic Physiology (Type 2 - Edison is made up of gears and steel[10])
- Immortality (Types 1, 5, 7, & 9 - Edison is eternal,[7] and he is the dead thing[7] at the center of the ultimate void of chaos. Has the same exact function, existence, and even name as M, who is an Old One, a fantasy being who is not a human and said to not be living[15] and also stated to not ever die.[16] He is also a highly conceptual being that is of Jet Black who is said to exist before the universe's creation,[4] which also exist beyond space, time, and causality[5])
- Fear Manipulation (His presence alone can cause fear[2])
- Nonexistence Erasure (Has the same exact function, existence, and even name as M who has control over Sharnoth,[17] which is a world[4] of nothingness.[4] Edison is the void that defines what nothingness is.[8] Edison erased Lily,[7] who doesn't exist, sending her to the void,[7] after which Lily was able to regenerate, this merely amused Edison, and he could have erased her even further if he wanted to[7])
- Acausality (Type 5 - Has the same exact function, existence, and even name as M who is beyond time, space and causality.[5] He exists as that which is not within, the outside itself,[18] he is a transcendent being of the outer universe[19] of Sharnoth, which is an eternally unchanging world.[4] M is unchanging, with time, and anything else humans value holding no meaning to him[4] Neither time[10] nor the order of events[10] are important to Edison)
- Sealing (Sealed Tesla[10] in the Alcatraz Time Prison, which is behind the wailing wall,[10] outside of existence itself[13])
- Mind Manipulation & Memory Manipulation (Has the same exact function, existence, and even name as M, who improved Mary's brain functions and mental self control.[4] M can attack others minds[4] by sending them images of their past, and he erased Mary's memories[20] of the black city. Edison took the greatest memories[7] of the residents of New York, and gave them form[7])
- Power Bestowal (Blessed The Cyber Zombies[9] with being impervious to all attacks)
- Enhanced Cracking, Void Manipulation, & Non-Physical Interaction with Oblivion Golden Eyes (Edison is in control of the largest piece of Azathoth's Golden Eye.[1] The power of Gold outshines all,[21] and is beyond Cracking,[11] which is the law which shapes the Underground itself.[11] Using this power, which contained the power of the void itself,[7] Lily was able to harm Edison)
- Regeneration (High-Godly - Comparable to Lily, who used Cracking[7] to come back[7] after being erased to the void[7] by Edison. Even after being shot by Lily with the Golden Gun, which contained the power of the void, and disappearing, Edison returned later with a part of his face now metal,[7] a feat akin to Underground Residents, who regenerate even after being metaphysically/conceptually destroyed, but with a part of them becoming metal)
- Dream Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Memory Manipulation (Created the Underground,[7] which is a formless dream of the past,[7] made from the fragments of dead men's memories, and emotions[7])
Edison has the same exact, function and even name as M,[22] thus should have:
- Reality Warping (Can rewrite reality[4] as he sees fit)
- Soul Manipulation (Manipulated the souls[4] of the dead Meta=Critter hosts to talk to Mary. His tentacles[4] can also reach into souls and harm them[4])
- Enhanced Senses & Extrasensory Perception (Can see invisible things.[24] His range of awareness[15] is much higher than that of humans and other creatures. Was able to sense and know[25] the true nature of the "black puppy" Mary took with her as an Old One. M can sense[4] the presence of others)
- Power Bestowal (Gave Mary and Charlie the Sword of Rejection,[4] which can tear through and expand space. Gave some of his original power of Jet Black to The A in order to have him summon his Critter, Howler-In-Darkness)
- Non-Physical Interaction (Can harm intangible beings[24] such as invisible shadow men. Can destroy][20] Meta=Critters Can affect Old Ones, who are formless entities that embody nature and are illusions dreamt up by humanity)
- Large Size (Type 10 - M is the Pitch Black ether that drifts between the planets and encompasses the entire universe.[3] In addition he is the entire universe of Sharnoth,[4] and there are as many Sharnoths as there are humans.[4] He is a transcendent being beyond infinity itself)
- Shapeshifting (Can change his form[27] into something inhuman)
- Avatar Creation (Has a thousand manifestations on a planetary scale to even a galactic scale)
- Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1 - Sharnoth, an infinite world[4] is the way it is[4] because M feels nothing. The infinite darkness of Sharnoth and M are the same thing. All areas of darkness are his domain.[28] his "Jet Black" being beyond time, space and causality[5])
- Telekinesis (Caused the bells in London to move on their own[4])
- Dream Manipulation (Showed Mary a dream[4] and even appeared himself in it)
- Absorption (Absorbed every human in the entire world[4] into his world of Sharnoth)
- Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 & 3 - M is indifferent to all life processes,[4] hence why he doesn't need to breath[4])
- Deconstruction (Can evaporate things[24] merely by gazing at them)
- Existence Erasure (Devoured St. George without leaving any trace of his existence.[15] Stated to make his targets vanish,[20] not just die)
- Sound Manipulation (Nothing can be heard in Sharnoth, because it sucks up all sounds[4])
- Sleep Manipulation (Can cause people to fall unconscious[23] just by looking at them)
- Bodily Weaponry (Can shapeshift, giving himself fangs[4])
- Aura (Overwhelming - His left eye alone can overpower others[17])
- Chaos Manipulation (M stands at the peak of repulsive chaos,[17] as the writhing dark universe incarnate)
- Body Control (Can extend black things[23] from his body to envelop others)
- Temperature Manipulation (Can change the temperature of his body[4])
- Information Manipulation (Type 1 - M can make it hard for anyone to get information[30] about himself or those he chooses, leaving anti-search traps[30] in the information network)
- Invisibility (Has control over the Shadowmen, which are invisible[17])
- Hacking (Took control of an Engine Spirit, and had it break into the Great Information Accumulation Engine[31])
- Madness Manipulation (Type 3 - His eyes are the endless/infinite abyss itself, which drives people insane[2])
- Matter Manipulation (M has control over dark matter[32])
- Beyond-Dimensional Existence (Type 2 - Is the same as Sharnoth, which has absolutely nothing there, including time, while M is also a being beyond time, and space and itself[5])
- Madness Manipulation (Type 3 - Anyone who enters the Bar dies from madness.[33] The Bar is the madness of the abyss,[33] yet no one who visits it, such as Edison, think or even feel the madness[33])
Edison has the same exact, function and even name as M,[34] thus should have:
- Memory Manipulation (Leo's memory erasure ability doesn't work on him[15])
- Perception Manipulation, Mind Manipulation & Illusion Creation (Members of the Society are unaffected[17] by Moran's suggestion camoflauge,[17] which is similar to[24] Jane's ability to manipulate minds[24])
Manipulating shadows, and turning blackness into power,[33] is M's domain, thus he should have all the resistances A has due to his shadows, which consists of:
- Spatial Manipulation (Can resist the First Messengers disruptor field, which can tear apart space itself[6])
- Vibration Manipulation (Can endure the vibrations[6] of the First Messenger)
- Temperature Manipulation (Can endure the heat of the Second Messenger,[35] which can reduce humans to ash)
- Sound Manipulation, Curse Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Dream Manipulation, Memory Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2 - (The roar's of Messengers are a cursed sound[6] which paralyzes the mind and will of anyone who hears it. A is unaffected by this ability,[6] which also manipulates the laws and fate of the Underground, and also gives the Underground it's form, as a formless dream of the past.[7] The Underground is made from the fragments of dead men's memories, and emotions.[7] Can resist the Fifth Messenger's ability, which severs all things on a conceptual level[36])
- Air Manipulation & Telekinesis (His shadows can defend him against the wind attacks[37] of the Third Messenger)
- Life Manipulation, & Corrosion Inducement (His shadows can protect him[38] from the Fourth Messenger, which can rob any creature of its life,[38] and wither any obstacle in its way)
- Absorption, Petrification, & Cracking (Unaffected by the Sixth Messenger's ability which can absorb all matter,[11] into the Cracking Effect itself,[11] and petrify any substance[11])
- Existence Erasure (Unaffected by the Seventh Messenger's[7] distortion power, which can break and erase things[7])
Attack Potency: Low Complex Multiverse level (Has the same exact existence, and function as M, who is the primordial darkness, from which creation itself was formed. Even several infinitely stacked, multilayered universes that multiply indefinitely, were encompassed by him, as he is a transcendent being from the outer universe of Sharnoth, which is infinite in comparison to creation, beyond time, space, and infinity itself. Edison sees everything in the world of the Underground, which has[7] no end to it[7] , as being trivial,[8] and without meaning,[7] just a game for him, with only Gods being able to play chess; it is impossible for non-God's to play chess with a God, and everything in the world of the Underground is just his toy.[7] From his perspective there is no meaning to the Underground, it's just an illusion, fiction, nothingness, which he decides what exactly it is.[7] He likewise sees the entire parallel world of Karashrer, as being meaningless[9])
Speed: Omnipresence (Edison is the same as M, for whom distance and time are both meaningless,[4] and he is beyond time, space and causality. M exists as the darkness, one of the traits of the universe.[26] He is the Pitch Black ether that drifts between the planets and encompasses the entire universe. In addition, he is stated to be all,[7] as he eat Yog Sothoth, to become all of space-time[1])
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Low Complex Multiverse level
Durability: Low Complex Multiverse level
Stamina: Infinite
Range: Low Complex Multiversal
- Mega Engine Clock: A device originally meant for the end. It can both reset, and destroy the world.
- Oblivion Golden Eyes: Kadath's moon, and a large piece of A.Z.Z.T's Golden Eyes. These eyes hold the power of gold, which is said to outshine everything, and even Cracking. This power allowed a non-god like Lily to harm a God, like Edison.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (The same as M, who is a natural science scholar[17] who created the Kruschtya Equation, which is a complicated mathematical formula[20] that was too long to read even for Mary who possesses a Golden Eye,[20] up until before she entered Sharnoth. Edison is a genius who dominated the field of inventions,[7] and is heralded as the world's brightest mind, with ownership over the best and most advanced technology.[39] Stole the idea for Cracking from Von Hohenheim, who was unable to master it, due to the human brain being unable to process the enormous calculation of equations required to transform and rewrite the world, and was smart enough to conduct the Cracking Effect Experiment, where he used Mega-Engine class calculation devices, to grant humanity his power using Cracking. The Bar, which exists at the far reaches of dreams, the boundary between conscious and unconscious, is accessible only to those, such as Edison, who know the secrets of the Collective Unconscious,[40] which is the connection of consciousness, the synthesis of information,[41] a sea of nearly infinite knowledge[41] built up from the past to the present)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques
- Kruschtya Equation: A technique which utilizes a complicated mathematical formula which M wraps himself in, creating black blades from his shoulder and right arm and a crack in his chest. After his transformation is complete, strange black arms devour his opponent, erasing all traces of their existence. It is said to be able to crush, chew, devour, and destroy everything. It is said to be able to crush, chew, devour, and destroy everything. This equation also serves as a restraint on his power, which he can undo with just a thought.
- Cracking: Also known as the Phenomenon Equation. A form of “scientific formula” that was invented by Edison, that’s capable of warping reality to achieve a variety of effects. The effect it could achieve varies, ranging from producing a power more destructive than firearms and bombs, and produce powerful healing techniques, all the way to shaping the laws of reality as the user sees fit.
