Anodite

Anodites are a race of sapient energy beings from the planet Anodyne. They are free spirited and extremely powerful.

Overview
Anodites are a race of beings of pure life energy, most commonly known as Mana. The entire body of a mature Anodite is a humanoid-shaped construct of pure, compressed Mana; a deep-dark purple color with a outline of a lighter-dark purple and their long flowing tendrils of 'hair' are a bright pinkish purple glowing color.

The color of their mana is bright/light blue which was magic (as shown in the original series by Gwen) and many different shades of pink, magenta and fuschia and/with occasional shades of violet-purple mixed together. As a race composed of mana, they are capable of manipulating and controlling mana (the very substance of both magic and life itself) freely at will, making the Anodites a mana-controlling-manipulating race (although they don't see it as 'magic', per-say, but rather as an extension of themselves).

Anodites are potentially immortal, each having an indefinite lifespans; as long as they still have the catalyst for Mana, the Anodite continues to live. Anodites are also able to reproduce with other species (for example, humans) (it is highly possible Anodites can breed with any species, so long as the Anodite takes the form of one) by assuming an appropriate corporeal form, created with their ability to convert energy into matter. Anodites, in nature, are also quite free-spirited and most really don't take life as seriously as most humans do to the point that some disregard the morality of their actions and would rather satisfy their own personal pleasures, but that doesn't stop them from helping others, as Grandma Verdona mentions that Anodites help "scads of people."

Mature Anodites are pure energy (however, they're still tangible and can be touched or struck like a normal human) and are already assumed to have fully mastered their capabilities. It does, however, require about seventy-five years before an Anodite can fully master all of their powers and abilities. Using their full power without mastering their powers would result in them being overwhelmed by the power and forget about their life before they awaken the power (this almost happened to Gwen in War of the Worlds).

If an Anodite reproduces with a human, there's no guarantee the offspring will inherit the powers and abilities of an Anodite. Anodite powers and abilities (which Verdona refers to as "the spark") can also occur in children several generations down the line. Neither of Verdona's immediate children displayed any Anodite powers and abilites, but her granddaughters Gwen and Sunny do.

Powers and Abilities
Anodites in human form can manipulate mana at a lesser degree than in their true forms for a variety of effects like energy manipulation, flight, telekinesis, object creation and dissipation, opening interdimensional portals and vortexes, repairing objects, elemental manipulation, telepathy, dowsing, memory manipulation and invisibility. In their true forms, they're presumed to have fully mastered their abilities to the point where they can warp reality, fly across space, generate energy, transport themselves and others to other dimensions, create a body of their own choice (for assimilation purposes) and are able to draw in the mana around them to replenish themselves if the need arises, such as when they're weakened. The more mana an Anodite draws in, the stronger and more powerful that Anodite becomes. Gwen has also shown the power and ability to grow to giant size when she gets angry. It's unknown if Anodites can use this ability in their human forms.

Trivia
Anodita
 * The word "anodite" came from the latin word "Anodyne" which means to relieves pain of the physical body.
 * Only true female Anodites have been seen, it is unknown what true male Anodites look like.
 * Gwen's mother isn't very fond of Anodites (possibly due to them being not being "normal"), which makes it hard for her to deal with her Anodite in-laws (like Verdona & Sunny).
 * According to Dwayne McDuffie, Anodites can be any age they want so they are practically immortal.
 * It's possible that by becoming one, Anodites can breed with any species, this is uncomfirmed.
 * Dwayne McDuffie has confirmed that Anodites, being energy beings, have no DNA and are not part of the Codon Stream. Because of this, Ben, Gwen and their fathers are 100% human biologically, while are part Anodite through their life energy.
