History
The Emerald Eye of Ekron is one of the most powerful weapons to ever exist in the universe. It provides it's owner a variety of of powers, similar to the effects of the Green Lantern Power Ring. The eye allows , the user to fly and survive unharmed in the cold vacuum of space. At the users command, it can attack enemies with energy blasts powerful enough to take down even the likes of Superboy. It also protects the user from attack by generating a nearly impenetrable force field around the user.
The owner can also wield the Eye's power to suit more specific needs depending on the users situation: it has given the user superhuman strength on more than one occasion, and in another instance the user was able to use its power to grow to gigantic size.
In a recent appearance, the Eye gave the user the power to cast illusions and alter reality, rebuilding the planet of Orando into a medieval-like society as she envisioned it.
Weakness
- When in possesion of the user is virtually indestructible. It can be temporarily stunned or disoriented if struck by a powerful enough attack, but the effect is momentary. A truly devastating blow can possibly shatter the Eye, but it will quickly re-form itself with no hint of any damage.
- Telepathy: It can sometimes be tricked into shutting down if its ability to 'see' is blocked, e.g; when Sensor Girl masked the presence of the Empress from the Eye, though this is difficult to accomplish since the Eye can see through nearly every spectrum and wavelength.
- Kryptonite: For some reason the Emerald Eye of Ekron has an adverse reaction to green Kryptonite ; when exposed to the material it can become dazed or immobilized. If the Eye is successfully attacked, the Empress will often 'feel' the effects of the attack as well, due to their symbiotic relationship.
Trivia
The Emerald Eye is based upon The Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings.
