You can customize your Vibranium Shield by combining it with dyes in a crafting table.

Craft a Beacon and build a pyramid of at least 3 levels and set its primary effect to Solar Ascension.
The ritual starts when you have both Unstable Radiance and Solar Ascension active. You'll be pulled toward the beacon and ascend. After, you'll receive the Sentry Suit.

To become The Void you need to complete Sentry's skill tree. Reach full Void Corruption by taking damage, killing mobs, or staying in darkness for a long time.

Once charged, right-click with the Sun Totem to become Superman.

Thor

To become the God of Thunder you need to:

Find Mjolnir's Crash Site. A rare structure that generates in most biomes. It contains Mjolnir in the middle and some Uru scattered around.

• Hero of the Village — Successfully defend a village from a raid
Lift Mjolnir by right-clicking it to pick it up. You'll receive the Thor Suit and the God of Thunder power.

To get Stormbreaker, combine a Nether Star and Uru Ingot with awakened Mjolnir at a smithing table. A Mjolnir becomes awakened when you enable the God Mode ability.
