Trivia

  • Quantum is the first power that allows Teleportation
  • Prior to March 31st, 2015, access to Quantum powers was included in the Origin Crisis DLC pack. Previous owners of the DLC will retain access to the power.
  • Evil Cosmic Boy from the Legion: HQ Orientation alert uses several powers from the Quantum powerset as his own mechanics during his boss encounter. These are more grey in animation.
  • Several boss encounters in DC Universe Online use variants of Quantum's Gravity Well as a mechanic. This includes a yellow variant (named Gravity Boomerang in the combat log) of the power used by Captain Boomerang while in The Rogues boss encounter in the FP: Flashtastic Voyage raid, and a red variant spawned by Grail's Father Box while in the Grail boss encounter in the Wonderverse: Fractured God Sphere raid.
