Parallax gives the host crazy levels of yellow energy (Fear) manipulation, from what I can gather as its a living entity which embodies said fear. As far as Hal Parallax goes, he's able to wield both Will and Fear based energies. Plus, if you think about it, since Parallax has supposedly been around since sentient life first felt fear, by definition, that alone makes the entity incredibly powerful and also makes Spectre having troubles with him validated.
Originally posted by Omega VisionWhen Hal originally became Parallax, he was not portrayed as any sort of 'fear entity'. His uber status back then came from the fact that he absorbed all the power of the GL central battery, along with entropic energies. That is how he was able to both destroy, and begin recreating, the DCU... So the 'nigh-omnipotent' claims pertaining specifically to the above, aren't very far off.

Only in more recent years has Parallax been retconned into an, albeit unimpressive, symbiotic yellow bug that embodies fear.

Do you think that Parallax retained any of those entropic energies or Oan energies post Hal's death? It seems lately he's/it's been using his fear based powers and the willpower of its hosts.
