Singularity
You can create a very powerful Gravitational Singularity. The Singularity will engage your foes, assaulting them with various gravity powers. Any foes that attempt to approach the Singularity will be violently hurled away. The Singularity cannot be healed, but it is highly resistant to all forms of damage and nearly impervious to Controlling type powers. Type /release_pets in the chat window to release all your pets.
Though it cannot be healed, the Singularity may have its health Regeneration increased normally. It is virtually immune to Hold, Sleep, Disorient, Immobilize, Knockback, Knockup, and Repel effects, but not to other effects such as Fear and Confuse. It is virtually immune to Toxic and Psionic damage and highly resistant to all other types. Singularity is also intangible to other players; they are able to walk through it, unlike other Pets.

Wormhole
You can open a gravitational Wormhole behind a targeted foe and violently push him, and all nearby foes, through it. The victims are sent flying out the other end of the Wormhole and are left Disoriented. You determine the location of the Wormhole's end, and can place it high in the air if desired. More powerful foes may be resistant to the Wormhole effects.
- Wormhole is only capable of Teleporting Minions, Lieutenants, Bosses and Elite Bosses. Anything higher may appear to teleport, but will not move to the new location. However, all other status effects (disorient, knockback) will be applied.

Notes
- The objects retrieved by Propel vary. Known objects include: barrels, bathtubs, cars, forklifts, gargoyles, globes, lamp posts, photocopiers, sculptures, shelves, shopping carts, statues, telephone poles, television sets, toilets, utility carts, walls, and more.
Historical
- This set has been in the game for Controllers since Issue 0.
- This set was included with the original release of Dominators in Issue 6.
- Singularity was added to the game on May 11, 2004. Before that, Wormhole was the level 32 power and the level 26 power was a team recall called Fold Space. Its Endurance cost was 71.25 and its Recharge time was 60 seconds.
Fold Space
You can Fold Space in order to regroup your team. All teammates within 10,000 feet, and on the same map, will be teleported to you. You can also rescue a fallen teammate in a hostile location, as long as he is on the same map. This power costs much of your Endurance and can be interrupted.
