  • This ability activates whenever it is needed, and means that the user can cope without food, water or air. Therefore they can survive without these and cannot be killed or even harmed by starvation, dehydration or asphyxiation. They can also survive some damage to the systems which provide these. Injuring the lungs or digestive tract will have little effect, and they can cope with poisoning once the body detects it and prevents further absorption. Blood supply to those two systems is not necessary, and they can also cope a little more efficiently with severe blood loss. Lucia has been shown using this to survive her mother being shot while pregnant, and to survive being four months premature.
  • Self-Sustenance is the power to reduce or remove the need for bodily necessities; as the user(s) can survive without the need for air/breathing/oxygen, water/drink, food, sleep/rest, etc.
  • Self-Sustenance is the ability to survive without air, water, food or sleep. This type of super power varies from person to person. Some characters may be able to survive without food, but not air, and so on. This ability is useful for characters such as Superman, who can fly through outer space unprotected thanks to his ability that allows him not to need air to live. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean that Superman doesn't need to breathe, but it does seem to indicate that he can at least sustain himself without air for a lot longer period of time than a normal person.

  • Self-Sustenance is the ability to survive without air, water, food or sleep. This type of super power varies from person to person. Some characters may be able to survive without food, but not air, and so on. This ability is useful for characters such as Superman, who can fly through outer space unprotected thanks to his ability that allows him not to need air to live. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean that Superman doesn't need to breathe, but it does seem to indicate that he can at least sustain himself without air for a lot longer period of time than a normal person. In fact, persons with this ability have even been noted to communicate verbally in a complete vacuum, even though sound doesn't normally pass through the void of outer space. This seems to indicate they have at least a limited control of sound, and are able to "throw their voice" along with the air stored inside their bodies, in the direction of the person they are talking too, using sound manipulation and air manipulation as an advanced type of ventriloquism. It is also possible that Super Breath could be a factor in this power, rather than air manipulation, in fact this seems more likely. Even when engaged in an in-vacuum conversation in deep space, such a character doesn't seem to be low on air, therefore one can assume that characters with this ability can sustain themselves without air for a very long time--at least as long as their internal air supply remains.
