Prophet (Crysis)

==Summary==
Major Laurence "Prophet" Barnes is the squad leader of Raptor Team during the events of Crysis on the Lingshan Islands and a major character in both Crysis and Crysis 2. A copy of his personality and memories returns as the protagonist in Crysis 3 within the Nanosuit 2.0.
A former seasoned veteran during Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War and Operation Enduring Freedom during the War on Terror, Barnes spent years in schooling before joining the US Army. At some point, he took part in a CIA drug raid which resulted in civilian deaths. Angered by this, Barnes hospitalized his CIA supervisors, and did so again after recieving a reprimand from his superiors, earning him a prison sentence at Leavenworth federal prison, causing Barnes to violently beat them up again since he figured in his own words that he "should really earn it".
While in prison, he received documents from Jacob Hargreave, and was released from prison shortly afterwards, on the condition that he become the first person to wear the Nanosuit 1.0, and this is where he met Dr. Nathan Gould. Eventually, he and four others, Jake "Nomad" Dunn, Michael "Psycho" Sykes, Martin "Jester" Hawker and Harold "Aztec" Cortez are assigned to Raptor Team to investigate the events occuring at Lingshan, which leads to the events of the first game, Crysis.

It can even regenerate any damaged parts of his body using expandable biomass with Cry-Weave, its nanoshell can also self-repair if it suffers any kind of damage, like his re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere which completely destroyed him and the suit as seen in the ending of Crysis 3 after he crash-landed into Lingshan), Energy Manipulation and Energy Projection (after absorbing Ceph energy sources the suit can also become significantly stronger by absorbing Ceph's energy, channeling and unleashing them in the form of energy blasts), Telekinesis, Reactive Evolution, Reactive Power Level, Multi-Lingualism, Extreme Pain Tolerance, Shapeshifting (Upon its complete destruction, the Nanosuit 2.0 reformed itself and restored Prophet's former human appearance) and Resistance to Poison Manipulation, Disease Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation (The nanites inside the suit will prevent any disease and virus from affecting him by blocking and reprogramming them at nano-scale, features hardened Faraday anti-EMP mesh, the Nano-catalysts it absorbed allowed Alcatraz to unlock new features and making him stronger day-by-day, after this Prophet elected to upgrade his suit even further with Nanokit upgrades, His linguistic skills increased significantly, memory becomes eidetic and functionally ambidextrous thanks to Nanosuit 2), Hacking (Can thwart back hackers and hack them back), Radiation Manipulation (Can absorb radiation as a power source) and Extreme Cold and Heat (The nanoshell of the suit allows him to survive any imaginable and extremely harsh environment, ranging from the vacuum of space and the Ceph snowdome which can instantaneously flash-freeze entire mountain-sized regions as seen with the Nanosuit 1, to several thousand degrees of heat gained upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere), Madness Manipulation (Types 1, 2 and 3), Mind Control, Mind Manipulation, Illusion Creation (Repeatedly resisted the efforts of the Hive Mind to control him and ultimately turned the tables by completely dominating the Hive itself) and several other resistances

In the Escalation novel, Prophet was able to view .50 HMG rounds in slow motion, even going so far as to call them a "slow and graceful arcing light show")
