  In the first part of the paper I argue that an ontology of events is precise,
flexible and general enough so as to cover the three main alternative
formulations of quantum mechanics as well as theories advocating an
antirealistic view of the wave function. Since these formulations advocate a
primitive ontology of entities living in four-dimensional spacetime, they are
good candidates to connect that quantum image with the manifest image of the
world. However, to the extent that some form of realism about the wave function
is also necessary, one needs to endorse also the idea that the wave function
refers to some kind of power. In the second part, I discuss some difficulties
raised by the recent proposal that in Bohmian mechanics this power is
holistically possessed by all the particles in the universe.
