- "Whenever I transform, I get younger. It's part of the curse that gives me my powers. I don't look it, but I'm 24 years old. I used to go by Monster Woman, but it got too hard to explain, so if you don't want to start changing my diapers, three exercises a day are too much for me."
- ― Amanda/Monster Girl (Invincible, "Who You Calling Ugly?")
The power to reverse the age of oneself and others. Sub-power of Age Manipulation and Age Shifting. Opposite to Age Acceleration.
Also Called[]
- Age Regression
- Aging Reversal
- De-Aging
- Retrokinesis
- Reversal of Aging
- Senescence Reversal
Capabilities[]
The user can reverse the age of themselves and/or others/objects, varying between speeds, as in age 2 years in one year, 5 in 3 years or even 10 years in a day or even an instant change. The user can make the reverse aging automatic, so the victim pre-ages at a rapid rate. Target may also be de-aged mentally to cause memory erasure or suppression.
If used offensively, the user can make beings and objects experience pre-life then death, leaving nothing but their cells. Because everything is subject to reversal of aging, this power could be used to destroy everything.
