Marshall Marshall has learned that it is not merely The Great Monkey King that he gains powers from, but from the cosmos itself, including imbuing his non-lethal weapons with the otherworldly power of cosmic lightning. This ability temporarily impeeds the target's chi paths with cosmic energy, slowing or even outright stopping his opponents. His quick reflexes even allow him to shoot this energy to stun an opponent mid-action, making it ineffectual.
