Craig McCracken’s latest animated masterpiece, “Kid Cosmic” is filled with plenty of cool,
fun superpowers thanks to the Cosmic Stones of Power. 14 Stones of Power,
to be exact! But which of these stones is the MOST powerful, and which ones kind of miss the mark?
I’m Caleb with WickedBinge, and this is Kid Cosmic Stones: Weak to Powerful.
Because the Cosmic Stones of Power can be (and often do get)
used by multiple characters, we’re primarily going to be focusing on the powers themselves,
not the characters that use them. As for our ranking, we’re going to be looking at
each stone’s ability, as well as how versatile it can be or how much potential it may have,
as demonstrated by other superpowered characters. We should also warn you
that there are MAJOR spoilers ahead, so maybe finish up season 3 before you watch this vid.
With all that out of the way, let’s get started!
Earning the title of Weakest Stone of Power is the Invisibility Stone. Now, we’re not about
to say that invisibility isn’t cool or useful, it definitely is. However, this stone’s power
tends to lie more on the defensive side than the offensive. This is the type of stone that you
take on a stealth mission, or the one that you break out when you need to make a quick escape.
With Fantos, we saw him use it to steal nearly all the stones in episode 5 of season 2, showing
how dangerous it can be in the right (or rather, wrong) hands. But what puts the Invisibility Stone
at the bottom of our list is its lack of use as an offensive power - outside of a sneak attack,
that is. Unlike characters such as Sue Storm or Violet Parr, who also have the ability to
create force fields along with their invisibility, this stone has no such power boost. It just turns
people invisible. Really, it’s no wonder this one was used the least out of all the stones.
The second weakest stone is the Longevity Stone. Being the secret fourteenth Cosmic Stone of Power,
it’s technically used throughout the whole series, but it’s used pretty passively. It can be used to
heal, though unlike the Pain Absorption Stone, it can’t then be used as a sort of boomerang attack.
It can also be used to grant its user a longer life, as seen with Papa G who was able to live
to be 112 years old. Because it healed anything that could have been caused due to old age,
Papa G was able to still have the physical capabilities and the stamina of a much younger
man. He was also able to survive being crushed and buried under giant rocks with it. We can’t
put this stone any higher due since it’s just a healing item and can’t offer much beyond that,
but in terms of healing stones, we’ll still say that this is a pretty great one.
The next stone on our list is the Multi-Arms Stone. It could be argued that in terms of
usefulness, this stone is one of the better ones. After all, who wouldn’t need an extra arm or two
every once in a while - especially when working at a diner or as a caterer? Naturally, twice the arms
means twice the fists, so fighting becomes a bit easier as well with this stone. Additionally, with
four arms, it’s also easier to catch and hold onto things. But if this stone is so great, why the low
ranking? Honestly, it’s all about perspective. Compared to the other stones, this one just
can’t compete. We also had to account for the fact that, unlike the Size Enhancement Stone, there’s
no strength boost. So if the person using this stone is of average strength, then the extra arms
will just have average strength too. Still a useful stone, but not exactly ‘super’.
Up next, we’re ranking the Elasticity Stone. In a sense, this is an advanced version of the
Multi-Arms stone. Even if there still isn’t necessarily a strength boost,
this stone can still be used in a variety of ways both offensive and defensive. Powers that
can work at both short and long range always have a huge advantage over those that can only
do one or the other. Because of their super stretchy ability, the user of this stone also
becomes incredibly flexible, and can even use their limbs to bound people and capture them.
For all of this, we felt we had to give it a decent spot in our ranking.
We’re going to rank the Speed Stone next. Throughout superhero history,
Super Speed has become one of those God Tier powers in terms of strength and usefulness.
Of course, it's inclusion in “Kid Cosmic” is no exception. This stone helped Jo finish the
Pyramid puzzle fast enough to save her team, and it also ended up being the key during the
team’s heist in the next episode when Flo used it to swap out the stones in only ten seconds
flat. Carla, who uses the stone the most, was able to run all the way across Erodius several times
within a few seconds. Now that’s fast! Although Carla is more focused on running than punching,
we know based on characters like the Flash just how much getting hit with a super-fast
fist can hurt. What keeps this stone from going any higher is due to it being one of the stones
where it’s sometimes a struggle to use and keep control of - which was pretty obvious,
given how often we saw Carla run off the edge of something. Speaking of which…
Next up, we have the infamous Precognition Stone. We all sometimes wish that we could see the
future. Not only does the Precognition Stone grant that wish, but it also prevents its user from
being surprised by potential dangers - whether they’re only a few seconds away or a few days.
That in itself earned it a fairly decent ranking. It’s also able to look into the past,
as shown by Erodius. However, this stone does have a couple drawbacks. For one, it only alerts its
user of danger, it doesn’t grant any extra powers or abilities to help fight the danger - you’re
on your own for that one. Additionally, those who use the stone can sometimes be overwhelmed
by its visions, much like how Kid was. For these reasons, we couldn’t put it any higher.
Following that, we have the Goo Stone. Though a bit gross, this stone isn’t to be underestimated.
It essentially protects its user from broken bones by turning their body into goo whenever they’re
crushed. It can also allow users to escape danger quickly or get through tight spaces,
allowing them to move almost like a slimy slug, which could also cause enemies to slip up. The
season 2 finale also showed how strong this stone can be when used by multiple people - strong
enough to destroy a damaged Erodius! Yes, this defeat was ultimately revealed to be fake,
but there’s nothing saying that something like this couldn’t be done with a big enough Goo Stone.
It could also potentially be used to suffocate someone, as seen with Fantos’
ultimate defeat in season 3. But even with all these positives and with how versatile it is,
it (much like the previous stones) struggles to compete with the more offensive-focused
and power-focused stones. There’s also the side effect of potentially losing track of one's limbs
while shifting. Still, we felt that it was more powerful than invisibility or multiple arms.
Nearing the upper half of our list, we have the Ice Stone next. Those who use this stone
are able to breathe ice - much like a certain pink-wearing Powerpuff Girl we all know and love.
Now, ice should never be underestimated, and neither should this stone. Just by breathing on
them, users of this stone can trap enemies in thick ice, possibly causing frostbite or even
death. Unfortunately, this power only goes so far. Because this power is mostly dependent on breath,
with only those like Krosh and Fantos able to use their hands instead,
its range is usually dependent on its user’s lungs. Unlike someone like Queen
Elsa who can create giant ice structures or sharp icicles, this stone isn’t nearly as versatile.
We also feel that while yes, ice can be dangerous, it’s not the most dangerous element.
Ranking just sliiiiightly above its twin stone is the Fire Stone. Sorry ice fans,
but fire beats ice hands down. Due to its nature, even if the Fire Stone has the same breath-related
range as the Ice Stone, any fire created by it still has the ability to grow and spread.
It could also be argued that burns can be more devastating than being frozen - stronger enemies
can break out of ice, but you can’t just walk off a third-degree burn. It may be a pretty simple
power, and yes there’s still the issue of it being more short-range than long-range for most people.
Even so, the Fire Stone manages to burn through most of its competition with ease.
Up next, we have the Size Enhancement Stone. Primarily being Rosa’s stone, this toddler was
able to show multiple times just how impressive this stone could be. Anyone who uses it is able to
grow either their limbs or their entire bodies to enormous size with ease, and is also given super
strength. When she uses it, Rosa is able to toss huge rocks, take out multiple baddies at a time,
and even throw a whole ship’s worth of aliens back out into outer space without breaking a sweat.
This stone is also one of the few that doesn’t seem to have any glaring disadvantages or
weaknesses. In fact, it comes with quite a few bonuses! If a user is holding something
while enlarging, any objects they are holding also enlarge with them. While in giant form,
users of this stone also become extremely durable. As we saw, Rosa was able to withstand lasers,
large explosions and falls while in her giant form. Ultimately, it’s the simplicity of this
stone that keeps it from going any higher, as other stones outmatch it in terms of versatility.
Following that, we’re ranking the Replication Stone. With this stone, users can replicate
themselves into any number of clones. These copies can then think and act independently, essentially
becoming a personal army for anyone who needs one. Or cannon fodder, in Papa G’s case. Speaking
of which, these clones aren’t very durable. Though there’s no time limit for how long they last, they
will disappear after enough damage. But because there’s seemingly no limit on how many clones
the stone can create at a time, someone who uses it can essentially keep replacing the destroyed
clones forever. Even if the clones created through this stone aren’t super strong, there’s still
strength in numbers - especially infinite numbers. As such, while it can’t beat EVERY threat,
its power can beat most threats with enough time, so it earns a spot this high on our list.
Earning the Bronze Medal of Power, we’re ranking the Portal Creation Stone next. The main stone of
Portal Girl AKA Jo, this stone is pretty much the definition of versatile. With the power to open
teleportation portals, this stone can take it’s user anywhere and everywhere to get them out of
danger. This stone’s range is also huge, able to take it’s user across a planet or even across a
galaxy! Compare that to other portal wielding characters such as Voyd in “The Incredibles”
or Leonardo in “Rise of the TMNT”, who had a much smaller range. In terms of how it can be used in
battle, Stuck Chuck personally saw what happened when someone gets caught in a closing portal.
Then in season two, Jo was able to use her portals to take out pretty much every enemy in the Fight
Hole, banishing her enemies before they could even get a hit off her, while at the using the
portals herself to dodge or get a better angle. As such, the Portal Stone can be effective in both
offensive and defensive strategies. It can also be used as a sort of peep hole, as seen in the
first episode of season 2, and it was revealed that it could send people to imaginary fantasy
worlds in season 3 as a way to trap and distract enemies. Really, the only weakness that this stone
has is that its user has to be able to clearly picture where they want to go in their mind.
If they can’t, well… they may just end up taking an impromptu vacation somewhere.
Getting our Silver Medal of Power, we just had to go with the Pain Absorption Stone. Yeahhh,
there’s a reason why Superman is considered OP - and it’s not just ‘because of his strength and
flight. Invulnerability is probably the most useful power anyone could ask for,
and this stone allows its user to not only absorb pain but heal from it instantly. It’s even strong
enough to protect its user against boiling lava, as we saw with Krosh. Additionally,
the stone is able to store up all of that kinetic energy and pain before letting it all out in one
big attack! So it can protect and it can grant users a counter-attack, but what truly makes
this stone amazing is its third ability. When the stone is given to Chuck, we see that he was able
to easily heal and take their pain away before using that pain in a big attack. To sum it up,
this stone is a shield, a cannon and a healing spell for yourself AND your allies all at once,
allowing it to be useful in any circumstance or battle. What more could you ask for? Weeeeell…
For our Gold Medal of Power, we have the Telekinesis Stone. Naturally,
the stone of the main character would make it pretty high up the list, even if it did
take a while for Kid to figure out its true potential. Through this stone, users can levitate
and control objects around them, essentially turning them into various weapons or defenses.
The season one finale showed that those who know how to use the stone can control multiple objects
(and people) at once. We also see that it’s pretty impossible for an enemy to resist this stone,
and as such there’s almost no real way to fight against it. Kid also showed that, through using
the telekinesis on himself, he was also able to levitate and fly, reaching some pretty high
speeds. Finally, in season 3, we saw that the Telekinesis Stone was strong enough to control
and move an ENTIRE planet! That is just… wow. Much like the Portal and Speed stones, however,
this one is dependent on control and high amounts of focus and willpower. Without that,
this stone may be more trouble than it’s worth. But even with that minor flaw, we just couldn’t
ignore the strength of this stone, and had to rank it as the Most Powerful Cosmic Stone of Power.
