Energy Beings	comment	Creatures that dispense with the need to have a body altogether. Energy Beings are frequently Sufficiently Advanced or Precursors; in fact, non-physicality is a common prerequisite, though they may take on A Form You Are Comfortable With. Often times this means that when they "Touch" a corporeal being it has interesting side effects. Other times they are the result of when a species Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. Even cheaper and simpler to pull off than Rubber-Forehead Aliens — Â they're usually just a blurry blob of light superimposed onto the screen, or maybe a cloud of colored smoke, or they may be outright invisible — which explains why Energy Beings and Human Aliens so often dominate the demographics of the Final Frontier. The Angelic Aliens and Starfish Aliens especially may appear in this form. Never mind that being "made of energy" makes as much sense as being "made of weight". This shows that many still don't know what the word "energy" really means. It is also considered nonsensical because "energy" beings usually act more like floating clouds of luminescent gas, so a better term to use here might be "gaseous beings" — or they might just plain be made of stars. They may often be used as a way to represent gods, angels, the afterlife, and similar subjects without dealing with the religious connotations normally attached to them. Of course, Energy Beings share many characteristics usually ascribed to concepts such as spirits and souls, often making them an example of Sufficiently Analyzed Magic. See Made of Magic for a more fantastic version. See also: Evolutionary Levels and Hollywood Evolution, as well as Ball of Light Transformation. Examples

Energy Beings / int_30a5ebfd	comment	A fairly unusual example are the Tailed Beasts of Naruto. Each of the Beasts is a mass of chakra guided by a malevolent intelligence, but each one assumes the physical form of a massive, feral beast. When sealed into a jinchuuriki, no body is left behind as it's entirely composed of chakra. What makes the Bijuu unusual is that their bodies are solid enough to interact with the world. The entire body is composed of "chakra-flesh" dense enough that mortals can interact with and even eat it as in the case of Ginkaku and Kinkaku. However, the energy is volatile enough to kill most people. The origin story reveals they're fragments of Life Energy from a truly massive Eldritch Abomination. The one who defeated it severed the beast's chakra into nine parts and then imposed the image of a beast on each fragment, likely so they wouldn't merge of their own will. So while they are Energy Beings, they're forced to maintain a physical form.

He was still in the can, as it was all that was holding his energy body together, but at least he could have people move the can around for him, rather than being stuck broadcasting to a fixed point. Sam, the Sixth Ranger in Power Rangers S.P.D., was originally a human from a Bad Future. He became this trope as his timemachine malfunctioned and disintegrated his body. This plot point was introduced because of Executive Meddling; the higher ups did not want to hire another actor to play this ranger, forcing the staff to come up with a solution to still include him.

Energy Beings / int_470a1314	comment	In Resonance Days, everyone is technically this. Because the fic is set in the afterlife, the characters all left their bodies behind long ago and exist only as souls. Since the mind struggles to comprehend that, however, everyone instinctively form their souls to look like their bodies did in life (plus or minus one or two extra traits in the case of Witches). These "bodies" feel and function exactly as they did in life, but if you were to cut into them (even in places where you can feel the bone under the skin) it would just go straight through and release a gaseous substance called Soul Vapors. Realizing this tends to come with some existential crisis and self-harm.

It has the ability to absorb any object or person into itself and transform itself into either them or anything from their memories. For instance, after absorbing Crew Chief Brady Simmons, it imitates both him and his wife Kate. Later, it absorbs the weapons expert Dr. Vaughn Heilman and changes into a nuclear bomb in order to coerce the NASA scientists studying it into releasing it. In "What Are Friends For?", Mike is a being of light who appeared to Alex Mattingly and later his son Jeff as a young boy with whom they could play when they were lonely. Before he leaves, Mike tells Alex that he has "always existed in this place" and will always do so.

Gets subverted during The Second Dream, when we find out that the Tenno are actually flesh-and-blood humans whose mind is remotely projected onto a Warframe body. And then double subverted during The War Within, where we learn that Tenno exist in a "border" state between the physical world and the Void which grants them their innate powers, including the ability to dash-teleport as well as phase in and physically posses other bodies, including their Warframes. So, while they are not pure energy beings, they are not completely corporeal either.

Daniel Jackson also 'dies', but actually 'ascends'. The Ori are the Ancients' Evil Counterpart who reside in another galaxy. They're a race of Scary Dogmatic Aliens who demand blind worship and order their followers to launch a crusade against the Milky Way. In "Legacy", Daniel suspects that some dead Goa'uld are not in fact dead but have become energy beings. They haven't, he's becoming delusional because of some alien technology that got into him. Ironically, this later turns out to be exactly the case with Anubis. In Stargate Atlantis some Replicators try to dispense with their nanite bodies and become energy in an effort to simulate ascension. It doesn't work — or at least, not very well. They become digital, living data, but that's about it. This makes them similar to an entity encountered by the SGC on one of the Milky Way planets that possessed Carter.

Energy Beings / int_62570927	comment	Quite a few appear in the Marvel Universe. Two notables are Living Laser, a photonic being made of light, and Klaw, who is composed of solidified sound. Both were human supervillains who got an upgrade into energy beings. X-Men's Phoenix, originally just Jean Grey with a God Mode power upgrade, was famously retconned into an alien Energy Being after they wanted to bring back Jean but have her not be guilty of mass murder. And Wonder Man, too (technically, he's made of ionized matter, which contains a lot of energy). The Celestials are composed of a very intense and powerful form of energy — which is intangible and can't do much of anything on its own. It makes a very handy source of energy for the Humongous Mecha that they essentially "wear". Stardust, one of the later additions to Galactus' ever-growing list of Heralds, already was an energy being before being imbued with the Power Cosmic. In fact, he and his kin were invisible to the naked eye. Venus Dee Milo of X-Statix is another Energy Being in a bag, though not having a body doesn't stop her from becoming an international sex symbol.

They are imperceptible energy beings whose forms exist on a radically different wavelength than ours — for them, gaseous matter doesn't exist, and liquids and solids are gaseous, so the planets of the Solar system are just clouds. To them, light itself is the water through which they swim, and the Sun is their wellspring. "Visiting" a planet means moving into one of those moving clouds and then keeping pace with its orbit to maintain the appearance of standing still, while using some sort of projection to interact with wispy, ephemeral creatures they cannot fully see (i.e.: us).

Whenever human or Zuul fleets meet in node space, they battle in this Negative Space Wedgie. If the battle lasts long enough, strange clouds of energy will appear and converge on the ships, doing damage to them on contact. They are immune to ballistic and missile weapons, so if that's all you have, tough luck. Energy weapons can harm them, though. Occasionally, they get pissed and may attack a random planet in the galaxy, even one belonging to a race that doesn't use bode space. Presumably they're just lashing out at the intrusion.

The only part of a Gem's body made of matter is their gemstone, which serves as a Heart Drive and renders them functionally immortal as long as it's not shattered. When a Gem's physical form sustains heavy damage or has the gemstone removed, they will "poof", that is, release their physical forms and retreat into their gemstones to regenerate a new body, which can take anywhere between hours to weeks. The only exception to all of this is Steven, who is a Half-Human Hybrid, and as such has a half-organic body.

Energy Beings / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Superman briefly became an energy being for a reason vaguely explained as overdosing on sunlight. Being Superman, his new energy powers were just as off the charts as his Flying Brick powers. He once magnetized the Moon to keep it from crashing into Earth. He could turn into a solid being though, which was handy for Clark Kent. After Superman's time as an energy being, there was Sharon Vance, Strange Visitor, who was awoken to her powers after her plane was struck by lightning. She's basically the same as Superman during his time as an energy being. All-Star Superman features a brief appearance by things that look like energy beings, but it turns out they actually have some physical presence. Their energy patterns are contained inside some kind of biogenic crystaline structure filled with a conductive gas. In layman's terms, they're living neon signs. In The Immortal Superman, Kal-El travels to the year 101,970 and faces a synthetic electrical life-form spawned by a strange kind of pulsating energy. The Plague of the Antibiotic Man: In order to fight Superman, Amalak creates an "electro-surrogate", a human-like being made of green energy. Supergirl's Greatest Challenge: A planetary explosion caused by a super-bomb turned its mad scientist of a creator and another animal into massive energy beings. Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes called them Positive Man and Negative Creature because their "bodies" were composed of positive and negative ions, respectively. When the Eradicator first took physical form, it was in the form of this due to the device he was contained in being tossed into the sun. When he was resurrected following Superman's death, he was in this form again until he built himself a new body. Cyborg Superman became an Energy Being with the power to possess machines (his preferred form being a cyborg clone of Superman) after exposure to cosmic energy. He's effectively immortal since energy is indestructible. The driving force behind his villainy is his weariness with life and his inability to die. Most of his heinous acts were merely attempts to goad powerful superheroes like Green Lantern and Superman into finding a way to kill him. He once even joined forces with a Omnicidal Maniac cosmic superbeing because it promised Hank it would kill him afterwards. In Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey, Doomsday was once defeated by a species whose royal family sacrificed themselves to become a being of pure energy called the Radiant, which Doomsday was entirely defenseless against. Unfortunately, they didn't destroy his body, and when it was recovered and woke up, Doomsday was now immune to energy attacks as well, as the former victors discovered to their horror.

Before it even finished talking, Mariner pounces on it and tries to force it into a container. The being quickly switches from threats to pleading, promising to give Mariner whatever she wants, stating that it can turn some of its energy into any object. Mariner demands a new tricorder. The entity obliged, growing smaller as its energy is converted into mass. Mariner then demands a power pack for the tricorder, and the entity produces that too, becoming a tiny speck. The women leave, and the entity tries to attack Captain Freeman, slamming into her and dissipating.

Energy Beings / int_986e857e	comment	Ben 10: As an alien trope, you know there is an example: the Anodites. They are alien beings made of Mana and able to manipulate it for a variety of purposes, including taking a physical form. It's discovered that Ben and Gwen are quarter Anodite in Ben 10: Alien Force. Specfically from Verdona Tennyson, their grandmother and Max's wife. She also offered (or rather insisted) on trying to get Gwen to do the same when first met, but eventually backed off. Gwen's Anodite lineage also explains why she is a naturally talented magic user. However, it does make it harder for her to fight a pure Anodite... such as Sunny Tennyson, her and Ben's cousin from Verdona's side of the family and a troublemaker. Ben 10: Ultimate Alien has a radioactive Energy Being in P'andor. But considering he apparently has DNA to scan (where Anodites don't), it's called into question whether he's really "Pure Energy" or not. However, when produced in the Omnitrix (to make NRG), it also reconstructs the containment suit that P'andor was in (though for P'andor, it's because he was a criminal) which helps them control their powers and presumably not affect their environment. Diagon is this as part of his vibe of being an Eldritch Abomination. In his own words, his essence is power. Vilgax defeats him by exploiting this and using an energy draining machine, the same one Vilgax use to take the powers of ten former champions seen earlier. Since Diagon is power, Diagon is absorbed by Vilgax and he becomes a being himself until Ben uses Ascalson to seal the power in it. With Azmuth destroying the sword, it's safe to say Diagon is not coming back.

One such being is implied to be the origin of biological life in the galaxy (maybe even the universe) via accidental Panspermia. The novel quite clearly refers to the entity as "God", even though it's most definitely not immortal and can only exist in powerful magnetic fields of gas giants (in fact, according to the novel, many copies of the being have been created on various gas giants). Another similar race, the Evolgs, similarly evolved when disorganized magnetic fields of a planet became something more coherent. The Emulotti were Human Aliens until they were under threat of extermination by the Shvergs. The Evolgs helped the Emulotti by showing them how to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. At least one human was forcibly turned into energy by an Emulotti machine.

Energy Beings / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The Ideal Masters are immortal beings who were once powerful mortal sorcerers during the Merethic Era. After finding their mortal forms to be too weak and limiting, they entered Oblivion as beings of pure energy and settled an area of "chaotic creatia", forming the Soul Cairn. The Ideal Masters are most infamous for their trafficking in souls, especially "Black" sapient souls. All souls trapped in soul gems end up in the Soul Cairn and are considered property of the Ideal Masters. The Ideal Masters do not usually manifest within the Soul Cairn, but have been known to take the form of giant soul gems through which individuals can communicate with them, and through which they can drain the souls of approaching mortals. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The Augur of Dunlain was a brilliant student of the College of Winterhold, who liked to experiment with very deep magic. But one of these experiments went wrong, causing him to transform into an energy being. In the Dawnguard DLC, you can travel to the aforementioned Soul Cairn and meet the Ideal Masters in the...well, not flesh...but crystalline soul gem form.

Problem is, the meltmassif is completely undifferentiated and doing just about anything to it does not hurt the Melters, and Melters always seek to mix their meltmassif so their individual signals merge. They have no concept of how it's different for others. In the end they are freed from the meltmassif and become proper energy beings... or die. It's Star Wars, and everyone is a "luminous being" functioning in a shell of matter already.

Energy Beings / int_aacd24cb	comment	The Archons and Dark Archons from StarCraft. Affectionately called blue and red balloons respectively by some players, they are made up of psionic energy and are created when two high or dark templar, powerful psychic protoss, merge together. As they lack substance, they're tragically fragile without their energy shields, meaning they may be less useful than the sum of their parts if you're facing an enemy that can deplete shields. Generic archons are made from two high templar, two dark templar make a dark archon, and, in StarCraft II, two of either templar can come together to make a regular archon. Interestingly, at least one dark templar, Ulrezaj, knows of a way to become an especially potent dark archon consisting of multiple templar. The result was probably one of the most powerful beings in the setting. Tassadar apparently became an immortal being made of pure light after his Heroic Sacrifice at the end of the first game. Ulrezaj was a dark templar scholar who found a crystal containing the knowledge to make a powerful Dark Archon. Presumably, he destroyed the crystal after reading it.

The Showa Era Ultras have bones and organs, but are primarily made of light. However, in other continuities, the Ultras bleed light instead of blood. An episode of Ultraman 80 has a flashback to three millennia ago, with a "Warrior of Light" — an anonymous Ultraman — defending humans from the ancient monster, Tabra. This warrior is a humanoid made entirely of light and is implied to be Ultraman Eighty himself, although the episode doesn't really confirm it. Some of their enemies qualify. Two notable examples are Big Bads the Yapool from Ultraman Ace who are made out of the Minus Energy as are all their creations, and Chaos Header from Ultraman Cosmos who is an entity of evil light that corrupts other beings.

However, other episodes confirm the Meekrob were real and notes from Word of God do note that Dib would've allied with them for real to fight against the Irkens, especially in the would-be finale, Invader Dib.

A year on Solos is 2000 Earth years, and each change in its seasons every half-millennium (with aid from a crystal enthused with thaesium) massively altered the Solonians. Each spring, they were akin to humanoids, while when it turned to summer, the Solonians underwent metamorphosis into energy beings. "Planet of Evil" features one of Anti-Matter. "The Idiot's Lantern": The Wire used to have a physical form, but it was executed by its species for undisclosed crimes and escaped as electricity.

It's safe to say that all creatures from that area of space are energy beings in one way or another. In fact, Cole is the only one who manifested his own body based on an underwear ad. The rest took the bodies of people on a train. It's possible that nothing material can pass through a wormhole, so this may have required all the escapees to be turned into energy.

Energy Beings / int_f0ebd635	comment	Phlegethon has giant demons made of light, resembling featureless, glowing humanoids. They can somehow be hurt by bullets (and even bleed), but it takes around 40 shots to finally kill one.

Energy Beings / int_f651fac4	comment	The evil Drej from Titan A.E. appear to be solid beings, but are actually composed of plasma-like energy. This ends up proving handy when they are lured into a trap that siphons away their energy to power the Titan, a ship built to recreate Earth after the Drej had destroyed it years before after an apparently Self-Fulfilling Prophecy warned them that humanity would destroy THEM.

Energy Beings / int_f74b5f80	comment	The Vorlons from Babylon 5 appear to be mostly energy beings, although they apparently still have some degree of physicality left, too. In "Mind War", super-psychic Jason Ironheart, having undergone a Deadly Upgrade, gives up corporeal existence to become pure psychic energy. According to "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars", at least part of humanity appears to be destined to go this way, too, within the next one million years. Note that the far-future human seen in this episode looks like an ordinary man at first, then turns into a cloud of glowing particles which fly into a human-shaped encounter-suit. Similarly, precursor being Lorien is a quite physical humanoid when he feels like it, but can turn into a glowing cloud (possibly his true form) for travelling through space. This suggests that all these beings are basically physical creatures that have gained the ability to turn into a more or less gaseous/plasma/energy form at will. The episode "Soul Hunter" and the film The River of Souls confirm this suggestion: the Soul Hunters trap souls in spheres because of it.

Energy Beings / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Heroes: Kheldians. However, they cannot survive for more than a decade as pure energy though so they inhabit organic hosts. Peacebringers and Warshades (reformed Nictus) do this with the consent of the host, the Nictus just take over whichever body they please. Kheldians (and as a result Nictus) can't take over a body unwillingly though, because the host can eventually just kick them out. However, Nictus get around this by kidnapping them and breaking their will in various ways so that they will become compliant hosts.

Energy Beings / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: Primus and Unicron from the various series were originally Energy Beings before being sealed into planets, which they later took on as bodies. As the Transformers themselves are descended of Primus, they could be also considered such (a Transformer's true self is its "spark," and those can be removed and manipulated), but their bodies are usually much more important to them, with destruction of their body causing their spark to fade.

Energy Beings / int_fc612179	comment	Yet another sci-fi trope pioneered by Edward E. "Doc" Smith, whose Skylark Series included the "free minds" One through Seven, who've spent the megayears since their transformation wandering the universe in search of interesting new experiences. Their power is immense — One converts a human into Freemind Eight, then changes its mind and casually conjures him a new body and a starship, accurate to the last cell and circuit, just to get rid of him.
