==Powers and Abilities==
Bio-Organic Thermokinetic Blasts: Cassidy has the ability to generate blasts of concussive force or heat by using wood as the focus for his power, typically his wooden shillelagh. Following genetic engineering, Cassidy could channel the energy he generates directly through parts of his body that were grafted to a wood-like substance.
After being seriously injured by Cable, Cassidy's body was healed by an artificial wood-like growth introduced into his body. This substance initially served as a focus for his bio-blasts and later gave him other abilities. The substance was surgically removed after another series of injuries, reverting him to his previous look. Later, Cassidy underwent a secondary mutation which naturally recreated and improved upon the powers he used to have artificially. The powers granted by it were:
Plant-Form:
*Plant Growth: Cassidy can grow to immense sizes.
*Superhuman Strength
*Regenerative Healing Factor: Cassidy can regenerate damaged or destroyed body parts with great speed.
*Chlorokinesis: He can also mentally control all plant life within his vicinity.
*Plant Consciousness: He can distribute his consciousness amongst the plants he controls.
*Life-Force Absorption: Cassidy can drain the life-force or organic beings.
After M-Day, Cassidy seemingly lost all his powers and reverted to a normal human appearance. However, he has since demonstrated both his bio-blasting and plant manipulaton abilities.
Possible Genetic Immunity: Cassidy is highly resistant, if not immune, to Banshee and Siryn's sonic screams, and they are similarly protected from his bio-blasts. This is similar to Cyclops and Havok's sibling power immunity to each other.
