Havok

## Powers & Abilities

* **Ambient Energy Conversion:** Havok absorbs ambient cosmic energy into the cells of his body and processes it into plasma. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. At times he is not entirely able to control this ability, which sometimes makes him a danger to those around him unless he wears a special containment suit to assist him. Havok's body is constantly in the process of absorbing cosmic radiation. When each of his body's power-storage cell enclaves reaches its capacity, excess cosmic energy is thereafter absorbed and immediately re-emitted in negligible quantities. Upon the total expenditure of all his available energy, it takes Havok's body about 16 ½ hours to recharge to its peak level unless he absorbs a large amount of energy at once. The act of concentration involved in releasing his energy in anything other than an omni-directional wave is physically exhausting for Havok if he continues it over an extended period of time. He can absorb cosmic energies from his environment (such as starlight, x-rays, and gamma radiation) and store them within his body cells, metabolizing the energy in order to generate plasma wave discharges that super-heat and disintegrate objects or create concussion bursts by violently displacing air molecules in his path. His ability to absorb energy is so great that he was able to survive being dropped into a large star, and use its energy to augment his powers to the point where he was able to defeat his immensely powerful brother Vulcan. He was also able to overpower Magneto using volcanic energy and blast the Hulk unconscious. Sauron admitted that he was potentially stronger than his brother Cyclops.
	+ **Energy Absorption:** Havok not only can passively absorb cosmic energy from his environment but has shown he can willingly absorb, store, and re-process various other energies from other sources through conscious force of will. He showcased this aspect once when he was thrown into a star: he drew upon its energies to empower himself for the purpose of besting Vulcan and again when he had been cut off from any kind of power source during his stint as a prisoner on Z'nox. He absorbed trace amounts of energy from what little light contact he had whenever the food hatch would open and later released it upon Vulcan's Imperial Guard.
		- **Energy Self Sustenance:** On at least one occasion, Havok has displayed the ability to breathe in space by using the energy absorbed from a star as a barrier between himself and the surrounding vacuum. This power appears to only operate under extreme conditions and require immense levels of energy that are well above what he can regularly obtain.
		- **Heat Immunity:** Havok is virtually immune to the effects of most forms of heat.
		- **Radiation Immunity:** Havok is virtually immune to the effects of most forms of radiation.
	+ **Plasma Generation:** Ability to shoot or emanate plasma in the form of a blast or discharge, with a tell-tale concentric circle pattern. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposely tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. When Havok strikes an object with the intense waves of hot plasma, the sudden vast jump in temperature will often cause objects to shatter, explode, or seemingly disintegrate. Should Havok direct his energy at the lowest level, he can project it towards a human being and his target will suffer a severe headache but will not burn up. Using his plasma-based energy, he managed to retain the mini-black hole effects from Xorn's head for a long time.
		- **Flight:** Havok can also use stored energy for flight by directing it as a downward thrust. At full energy capacity he has an easier time managing his energized propulsion through his powers.
* Havok was once a Nexus of All Realities, being linked to any other versions of himself, most of them killed later by the Timebroker's machination in Exiles #28; off-panel. No versions were seen killed as part of this multiversal slaughter.
* Intellectually gifted, Havok is well-educated in the geophysical sciences and has been trained in martial arts by Wolverine.

## Equipment

* **Havok's Costumes/Containment Suits:** Most of Havok's costumes act as a containment suit and constantly monitor his energy output.

## Weaknesses

* **Uncontrolled Ambient Energy Conversion:** At times, he is not entirely able to control this ability, which sometimes makes him a danger to those around him unless he wears a special containment suit to assist him. This may also be due to psychological trauma similar to his brother.
* **Genetic Flaw:** Havok is not immune to Vulcan's powers, but is partially resistant to it by way of his ability to absorb energy. Havok is immune to Cyclops' optic blasts as Cyclops is immune to his powers. The brothers are also immune to the powers of their half-brother Adam-X, and Adam-X is immune to theirs.
