Like the night sky, Nyx is stated to contain stars, with The Gods inhabiting its constellations. This is because The Gods of Theros have their physical forms entwined with Nyx, and they are displayed as cosmic entities made up of interstellar dust and constellations. It was stated by Kruphix, The Eldest of The Gods that if Nicol Bolas ever came to their plane, even The Gods of Theros may be powerless to stop him and Theros would be destroyed)[152][153][154][154][155][155] | At least Universe level+, possibly Multiverse level+ (Within the first few seconds of using of The Elderspell Nicol Bolas obtained power equal to his Oldwalker self.

Just by speaking into his gem which contained his power from The Elderspell, his voice spread across The Multiverse spreading terrors and nightmares. The Elderspell is specifically stated that once complete the user becomes 'Omnipotent' and by utilizing it Nicol Bolas states in MTGA that he has the ability to remake the entire Multiverse, which is infinite)[156][157][158][159][160][150]

Speed: Infinite (Nicol Bolas could move so fast that he warped space and could even appear to be everywhere at once. This scene is to be taken literally as he was traveling across the entire length and breadth of The Multiverse which is stated to be infinite)[161][162][163][150] | At least Massively Hypersonic (Nicol Bolas fought against Niz-Mizzet who utilized with Lightning through their entire fight and managed not only defeat him but also kill him)[164], possibly Infinite (Nicol Bolas was capable of travelling across the entire Multiverse, though it is unknown if he can move at the same speeds as before) | Infinite (Within the first few seconds of using of The Elderspell Nicol Bolas obtained power equal to his Oldwalker self)[156]

Durability: High Universe level, possibly Universe level+ (Has fought against many Planeswalkers and beings who are semi-comparable to himself such as Niz-Mizzet and Ugin his twin) | At least Multi-Solar System level (The Gods of Theros have their physical forms are entwined with Nyx, and they are displayed as cosmic entities made up of interstellar dust and constellations. Kruphix The Eldest of The Gods stated if a Planeswalker like Nicol Bolas came to Theros even the Gods may be powerless to stop him) | At least Universe level+, possibly Multiverse level+

Stamina: Infinite (Oldwalkers had infinite power through their sparks and an endless supply of magic energy at their disposal)[147][169] | Nigh-Infinite (Planeswalkers can obtain mana and power from simply remembering places they have been before)[170] | Infinite (Within the first few seconds of using of The Elderspell Nicol Bolas obtained power equal to his Oldwalker self)[156]

Standard Equipment: None notable

Intelligence: Genius (Nicol Bolas has lived for thousands of years and is considered one of the oldest beings in the Multiverse. He is extremely manipulative capable of turning Mortals, Gods and even other Planeswalkers on one another with his words alone. Through his life he became extremely proficient in Magic, capable of replicating spells after only seeing them once and using three colors of mana. Even by other Planeswalkers he is considered to be on a completely different level in combat, having millennia of experience to the point no one could defeat him one on one. In fact, he had acquired so much knowledge that he began to run out of things to learn, even mastering sailing in his free time, he is constantly stated to have genius-level intellect, containing lore and mana spanning the entire Multiverse. After the mending which took away Planeswalkers God-like powers he managed to form a plan that stretched across millennia and took into account all kinds of possibility, circumstances, statistics and even likelihoods, to regain his powers and obtain Godhood. Through his story he is also shown to be a great tactician, leading his army against entire Planes and conquering them with ease. One of his plans involved rewriting the history of an entire plane and corrupting their gods and angels. He made its inhabitants willingly subject themselves to inhuman training so that when they turned into undead warriors, they would be an addition to his army)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Weaknesses: While capable of switching bodies, its stated that this makes him somewhat weaker. On top of this, mana and power are based off of his own memories and the Plane he is on, so if that connection is cut off, he can be weakened. Though it should be noted that can only happen if he is trying to manifest on that Plane.
