Editing Corinthian (comics) (section)

==Abilities==
The first Corinthian claims excellent eyesight, and is shown driving a car even while wearing sunglasses at night. In the same volume, he is shown consuming the eyes of humans through his own socket/mouths, allowing him to view their memories and even see the future. The Corinthian is also able to embody himself in human beings, whereof the eyes are consumed and replaced by teeth and the hair of the victim turns white. During the process, the eye sockets bleed profusely; afterwards, he resembles his victim in most features and can impersonate it.

The second Corinthian resembles the first, but is very skilled at hand-to-hand combat and seems fearless. He possess the ability to detect shapeshifters, shown when deducing Loki's disguise quickly thanks to the memories of his predecessor of living among shifters within the dreaming.  During his search for Daniel Hall, the Corinthian kills a supernatural wolf with his bare hands and later defeats [[List of The Sandman characters#Loki|Loki]] in single combat. He is also a skilled tracker able locate targets across cities and realms with relative ease.   

In 1999, Neil Gaiman stated that the Corinthian is homosexual in ''[[The Sandman Companion]]'', wherein the first Corinthian consumed eyes only of boys. In 2022, he identified the Corinthian as pansexual in the Netflix TV series. <ref name="https://www.tumblr.com/neil-gaiman/693164015053127680/sir-as-i-could-see-youre-fond-of-giving-the">{{Citation | last = Gaiman| first = Neil | author-link = Neil Gaiman | title = Tumblr | year = 2022}}</ref> The second Corinthian is featured with a boyfriend as written by Caitlin R.

In ''The Sandman'' television series, the audience does not explicitly witness many of the Corinthian's abilities. The Corinthian does consume eyes onscreen and receives a glimpse of the victim's memories.
