The Star Brand gave its bearer god-like powers, limited only by the wielder's imagination. The name Starbrand was also often applied to the person holding the power. After the end of the series and the New Universe, the Star Brand made appearances in the mainstream Earth-616 Marvel Universe.
It is possible that all these "basic" abilities are the result of the infinite power of the Star Brand responding to the subconscious desires of the bearer.
The Star Brand and its power can be transferred to another person, but former owners are always left with a remaining residue of about 10% of its power, a residue which regenerates and in time will grow to equal that of the original. In the series it was stated that the power of the brand is infinite. So 10% of infinite power is still infinite power.
