Overview

Earth Control is a standard power set that is a primary set for Controllers and Dominators.

"You can control the forces of the Earth. You can manipulate earth and stone to defeat your foes. The crushing force of many Earth Powers can reduce a target's Defense. Being of the Earth, many of these powers need to be performed while on the ground."
