- The Corinthian does not seem to suffer in any way from his lack of eyes, and indeed claims to be able to see very well: he is shown driving adequately even while wearing sunglasses at night. He is however fond of taking the eyeballs of his victims and eating them with his own socket/mouths. Consuming the eyes of his victims allows him to view what they have viewed in their lives and even see the future in some cases. The Corinthian is also able to possess human beings. When the Corinthian assumes control of a new host, the eyes are consumed and replaced by teeth and the hair of the victim turns white. During the process, the eye sockets bleed profusely. All other physical characteristics remain the same for the host. This lets the Corinthian jump between bodies and even show himself off as

| - The Corinthian does not seem to suffer in any way from his lack of eyes, and indeed claims to be able to see very well: he is shown driving adequately even while wearing sunglasses at night. He is however fond of taking the eyeballs of his victims and eating them with his own socket/mouths. Consuming the eyes of his victims allows him to view what they have viewed in their lives and even see the future in some cases. The Corinthian is also able to possess human beings. When the Corinthian assumes control of a new host, the eyes are consumed and replaced by teeth and the hair of the victim turns white. During the process, the eye sockets bleed profusely. All other physical characteristics remain the same for the host. This lets the Corinthian jump between bodies and even show himself off as his victims if he is able to hide or explain the physical changes. The second Corinthian is very skilled at hand-to-hand combat. He is extremely resistant to damage and seems to be completely fearless. During his search for Daniel Hall in the Norse land of Swartalfheim, the Corinthian, obviously with little effort, snaps the neck of a supernatural wolf with his bare hands, and later sees through the deceptions of the Norse god Loki and defeats the deity in single combat. Neil Gaiman has stated that the Corinthian is gay in The Sandman Companion in that the first Corinthian consumed eyes only from boys. The second Corinthian is featured with a boyfriend as written by Caitlin R. Kiernan in The Dreaming.
