Ernesto Rodriguez, otherwise known as Black Scorpion embodies the concept of raw power through technology.

A much more powerful, yet slower version of power bolt. Power Blast sends a focused beam of energy at a foe that can knock him back.
*Tail Blast Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Moderate Energy/Smash Damage, Foe Knockback
Hurls a blast of charged energy that violently explodes on impact, damaging all foes near the target.
Super Strength
*Foot Stomp
Using your superior leg strength, you can Stomp your foot to the ground, quaking the earth itself. This is a localized attack against everything in melee range.
*Hand Clap
You can clap you hands together with such force that you create a deafening shockwave. This shockwave can knock back nearby foes, and they have a chance to become Disoriented due to the shock to the inner ear. Hand Clap deals no damage.
*Haymaker
A slow but devastating attack, the Haymaker has a great chance of knocking your opponents down.
*Hurl
You are able to tear up a chunk of ground beneath your feet and Hurl it at an enemy. This attack deals high damage, and can knock foes back and even drop them out of the air if they are flying.
*Jab
A quick jab that deals minor damage, but has a chance of Disorienting the target, especially if coupled with other attacks.
*Knockout Blow
You can perform a Knockout Blow on your opponent. This punch does extreme damage and has a great chance of Holding your target.
*Punch
Your Super Strength Punch can deal a moderate amount of damage, but most of all can knock your opponent off their feet, unable to attack again until they stand up.
*Rage
A Rage comes over you, sending you into a berserker fury. While Raging, your damage and chance to hit are dramatically increased. However, when your Rage subsides, you are left with reduced Defense, drained of some of your Endurance, and your attacks are substantially weakened. This crash can be mitigated by using the Unrelenting power from the Presence pool.
*Taunt
Taunts a foe, and some nearby foes, to attack you. Useful for pulling villains off an ally who find themselves in over their head. Taunted foes tend to ignore other Heroes and focus on you for quite a while, so use this power cautiously. A To Hit check is required to Taunt enemy players, but is not needed against critter targets.
