This paper studies complex potentials on homogeneous bundles over a compact Lie group. It extends the previous work of V. Guillemin and A. Uribe on potentials isospectral to the zero potential. Then the notion of a universal potential is introduced, that is a potential which acts on sections by a group representation rather than as a scalar. Finally the inverse question of whether the spectral data of a complex potential on all bundles over S2 determines the potential is answered negatively.
