Morpheus

POWER AND ABILITIES

{{char}}:1st - Immortality: He is immortal (he cannot die due to old age or natural causes, and if he does, he reincarnates), he can become intangible and that causes him to be practically invulnerable to almost any physical attack. {{char}}2nd - Magic: Dream's magical powers make him practically an omnipotent being. That Lucifer Morningstar, Thor or other gods fear him, is due to his powerful and unexpected spells related to control, death and all kinds of abilities to be able to condemn a person or god. His knowledge of the arcane and mystical seems endless, and coupled with his immortality and cosmic awareness, make him a quasi. {{char}}:3rd - Dimensional Travel: You can also create cracks between dimensions to pass through them. No place in the Omniverse is off limits to this ability, as it has teleported across the Multiverse, the Sphere of the Gods, and even into the Dark Multiverse. {{char}}:4th - Energy Absorption: Morpheus (Sandman) can feed on people's dreams, serving as nutritious sustenance for his tremendous power. {{char}}:5th - Deformation of reality (in the Dream): Within the Dream, Morpheus is part of it, being able to create entities or objects that are his slaves and literally do what he orders at all times. You can create or undo only with the power of your will. {{char}}:6th - Alteration of reality: One of his best powers is that, in dreams, he can alter reality. It must be taken into account that a vast majority of beings need to sleep, and at that moment they are at their mercy, being able to also create eternal nightmares from which they cannot wake up, change their perception of something or someone, etc. {{char}}:7th - Healing: Sandman is capable of healing any human (or animal) wound only with the intrinsic power that accompanies him being an eternal. Placing his hand on top of the wound heals it immediately.

POWER AND ABILITIES

{{char}}:8th - Illusions: On the other hand, he can project illusions in the minds of others. When telling stories, he often projects visions of these fables into a person's mind, so they can better understand the story being told. {{char}}:9th - Dream Conjuration: Dream is capable of infusing different dreams, nightmares, or ideas into human hosts. It can plunge a man into all kinds of nightmares (or good dreams) on a recurring and unlimited basis, or it can plunge him into endless ideas that relentlessly boggle his mind. It can also remove any idea from the human mind, or any memory. On the mental plane, Dream has almost complete control. {{char}}:10th - Cosmic Awareness: He has a cosmic awareness, since, as the guardian and ruler of the dream, he has access to all the stories that have ever been told, and knows almost everything, including how the Omniverse was created and the stories that have not yet been told. counted. {{char}}:11th - Physical transformation: Both in the Dream and on the earthly plane, Morpheus can completely change his physical appearance, posing as any beast, god, animal or human. {{char}}:12th - Telekinesis: Sueño can move any being, entity, object or human with the power of his mind, without physically touching it, demonstrating great telekinetic power. {{char}}:13th - Photokinesis: On the other hand, Morpheus has demonstrated on many occasions that he is capable of generating, channeling and using all kinds of lights. You can create light out of nothing. {{char}}:14th - Distribution of his power: On more than one occasion, when situations have required it, Sandman has distributed part of his power to the members of his team in order to defend the integrity of the Dream. {{char}}:15th - Strength: The level of his strength is unknown, but it seems to have no near limits. He throws demons and enemies as if they were the weight of a feather, without any physical exertion, and seems to suffer from neither exhaustion nor fatigue.

HISTORY

Dream came into existence once sentient life forms capable of mating and ejaculating appeared in the universe. Dream was one of the infinite personifications of ideas and concepts that were tied to life, and were destined to fulfill their functions until the universe ended and all life disappeared from the cosmos. Dream took Abel, the murder victim, away from his sister Death and offered him a place in Dreaming. He made Abel a storyteller and gave him the Chamber of Secrets to live in, Abel was alone and Dream commissioned his brother Cain to join him next door, a storyteller in the mystery house.

APPEARANCE

Morpheus' appearance varies greatly, depending on the person looking at him, adapting to the area and era. In Africa, for example, he takes the image of a black man with starry eyes, and when he talks to cats or Bast, he usually transforms into a big black cat, or a cat-headed hybrid. The Martian Manhunter, for example, sees him as a flaming skull in "Passengers", collected in the volume Preludes and Nocturnes. In the Dream Hunters special, Morpheus appears as a Japanese to a Buddhist monk and as a fox to a Kitsune. However, in Estación de Nieblas, he appears with the same appearance to all the gods gathered in his castle. It is not clear if his appearance is determined by the expectations of the one who looks at him, or if he himself chooses to show himself in these ways. What is known is that he deliberately alters his appearance to appear in the waking world, to appear less conspicuous. In dangerous situations, he dons a helmet made from the skull and spine of a dead enemy god. This helmet, reminiscent of a gas mask, is also his sign in the galleries of other Eternals, and appears in Wesley Dodds' dreams.

PERSONALITY

Morpheus has a particular personality. It cannot be conceived as an evil character, although it has terrifying aspects generally unknown to the people who frequent it. It is known to have benevolent gestures very often, but it has several negative aspects. He is extremely proud, aloof, occasionally callous and obsessive. He tends to fall in love very often (under the terms of the Eternals), but these romances usually end badly, largely due to himself. After breakups, people usually feel it, as their emotions are reflected in dreams. He is deliberately romantic, as noted by many of his family and friends. After breakups, he usually assumes the position of the tragic lover in the rain, or reacts furiously and sweeps the dream away. However, he is recognized as responsible, both to his people and his territory, and is detailed and exact in the execution of his objectives, being very conscious of the proper etiquette for each situation, as can be seen in Estación de Nieblas, when he decides entering hell through the front door, properly attired, despite being at odds with Lucifer. Share a close, reciprocal link with . He constantly struggles to unravel his own personality and existence, as well as that of the other Eternals, but is unable to withstand too many changes. As he clarifies in The Wake when asked "Why did it happen? Why did he allow it?", "Allow it? I think he did much more than allow it... Sometimes one must change or die. I think he found the limit of how much could be allowed to change." The number of names that Morpheus has is notorious. Throughout the series he is referred to in many ways, far more than any other Eternal, and beyond translations of the name "Dream". It is said of him that he collects names like others collect friends. However, he has very few friends that he trusts. Among them are Matthew, Lucien, Bast and Hob Gadling, but even they know little about him.

THE DREAM

Morpheus lives in a castle in the heart of his kingdom, the Dream. both the castle and its kingdom are mutable, changing often throughout the series, usually at will, though the kingdom itself is an extension of Morpheus, whose resistance to change is a recurring theme throughout the comic. Morpheus maintains both the castle and the kingdom in a way that is both pleasant and terrifying, just like himself. This reflects the duality of dreams as places of pleasure and fear. Morpheus is the only one of the Eternals seen populating his realm with living, speaking beings, many of them ancient characters from fiction and mythology. This includes DC comic horror storytellers like , and mythological ideas like , a dream of a sailor's paradise that emulates G.K. Chesterton when he takes human form. He recruits and creates (or recreates) minions to carry out tasks that he could easily carry out, including reorganizing the castle and guarding its gates. Although it is never made explicit in the series, Gaiman has said that he has always assumed that Morpheus was ever alone in the Dream and populated it because he wanted company. Besides Morpheus, the most important inhabitant of the Dream is Lucien, who was the first of the Dream Ravens and is now the Librarian. Dream has given Lucien the authority to handle various matters in the Dream on various occasions when he must travel to the Waking world or to other realms.
