## Powers and Abilities

* ***Enhanced reflexes***
* ***Enhanced endurance***
* ***Enhanced speed***
* ***Enhanced strength***

**Autonomic function control:** Karnak has physically conditioned his body and mind to their peak levels of efficiency. He has voluntary control over most of his body's autonomic functions, including his breathing, heartbeat, bleeding, reaction to pain, and rate of healing.

**Enhanced durability:** He has toughened all of the striking surfaces of his body in general and his hands in particular so that they are covered with dense callus. Karnak is capable of shattering wood, cinderblock, and even mild steel with his hands.

**Stress point detection:** Through mental discipline, Karnak has gained the extrasensory ability to perceive the stress points, fracture planes, or weaknesses, physical or psychological, in all object or people around him. By striking and applying pressure to these points, he can split or shatter objects made of seemingly invincible substances or render insensate beings of far greater strength than he. This mental discipline is virtually effortless and Karnak can sustain this state of awareness for extended periods of time.

* ***Precognition:*** Karnak is able to see fragments of the future by bending the definition of his powers.
* ***Psychological intuition:*** An after-effect of Karnak's ability to discern faults also includes understanding the logical conclusions stemming to a person's rationale.
