==Powers and Abilities==
Ink has no powers of his own. Instead, he had access to a mutant tattoo artist, Leon Nunez, with the power of granting superpowers to other beings by tattooing iconic power symbols on them, evocative of the power he wants to bestow. The downside to this is that it takes away a little bit of his will every time he does it. Nunez made Ink believe that his powers were his own, purposely misleading him into believing he was a mutant. Since granting Ink his last tattoo, the Phoenix Force symbol around his eye, Nunez has been in a catatonic state.
Ink has demonstrated the following powers and tattoos:
*The tattoo on his right palm in the shape of a biohazard symbol which causes his victims to become extremely ill.
*The tattoo on his left hand gives him super strength. The lines look similar to the banding on Colossus' flesh when he transforms, indicating a toughening of Ink's flesh, also.
*The two lightning bolts tattoos on his head give him telepathy, but this can be blocked by psi-shields.
*The tattoos of wings on his back grant him flight.
*The "explosive" symbol tattooed on his right bicep allows him to blow up objects and punch through walls.
*The caduceus symbol on his left hand grants him the power of healing others.
*The Phoenix symbol over his eye allows him to produce energies similar to the Phoenix Force, but not actually tap into Phoenix energies.
*It has not been established what power, if any, the circular tattoo with a serrated interior on Ink's left shoulder grants him, or if it was even made by Leon Nunez.
