Powers
Shaloman is normally an inanimate rock, until someone cries out the words of help "Oy vey!" These words transform the rock into a muscular, curly-haired man.
In human form, Shaloman has
vortices. He has super hearing (he is able to distinguish different sounds even if he is above the atmosphere of the Earth) and "sensor vision" (a kind of telescopic vision). In one story he has telepathy.[2] In Shaloman Vol.1, #3, a substance called "She-nite" can weaken him.[3]
