get Faust into the Black Room. In the end, Faust had promised to return Mist's deceased wife back to him. Powers and abilities In his original incarnation, Doctor Mist once held formidable power from the Stone of Life, bolstering his sorcerous powers and could perform magical feats such as object transmutation, teleportation, and cast illusions as well as immortality. After losing much power from the Flame of Life, he retained only a small connection to it, giving him minor magical powers compared to before, and retained his immortality. At the height of his power, he was considered a match for Felix Faust's original power though when deprived much of his might, he recognized himself to be inferior to the likes of a sorceress Zatanna Zatara. To accommodate for his waned power, he would use his magical abilities carefully to portray himself more mysterious and powerful than he really was. In addition to his mystic abilities, he was a capable hand-to-hand combatant. The more recent versions of Doctor Mist retains his immortality but possess the natural ability to initiate magic at a more formidable level sufficient enough to reflect the backwards-casting spells cast by Zatanna Zatara. He could also perform other magical feats including creating bolts of magical lightning, create wards, and teleport. In other media Television Doctor Mist, under his real name Nommo, appears in the Constantine episode "A Feast of Friends", portrayed by Charles Parnell. He is depicted as a shaman who helps John track a hunger demon by entering a hallucinogenic state using a drug called "mist". After the hunger demon Mnemoth began a rampage, John Constantine contacted Nommo to find a way to defeat it. They used the strong psychedelic drug The Mist to trace its origins, before Nommo gave Constantine and himself the Nectar of Nhialic to counteract the trip. Doctor Mist made a cameo in the Powerless NBC series, appearing on a magazine cover of a fictional company known as "Phenom".
