*Dynamic Power Growth: The more he feeds, the greater his power becomes, allowing him to overwhelm opponents and dominate in combat with increasing efficiency.
*Adaptive Growth: Nihilus' Hunger for Power allows him to adapt to different opponents and situations based on the Force energy he absorbs. This adaptability ensures that he remains a formidable adversary, capable of responding to various challenges with heightened prowess.
