==Powers and Abilities==
Empathy and Pathokinesis: Empath can psionically sense the emotions of others and control one emotion at a time, affecting many targets in the same area during that time or controlling the emotional states of multiple victims. He can change the amount of control he exerts over his victims, such as a simple emotional push or complete emotionless zombies bowing to his every whim. He is bombarded by the emotions of people around him, and he must fasten on a single, strong emotion to protect himself from being overwhelmed.
His interactions with Madelyne Pryor appear to have altered and enhanced his abilities. His emotion control is much more powerful but requires visual concentration and/or eye contact. He also uses words to focus his powers. His eyes have always glowed with psionic energy when he uses his powers.
