Alex Summers (M-616)

## Havok

***Alex Summers*** was orphaned with his big brother, Scott, when their parents forced them to parachute out of their crashing private plane. The boys were put into the Milbury Orphanage where Alex was adopted without Scott. His new family had recently lost their son Todd and adopted Alex to fill the void of a son in their life. He tried his best to fit in with them, but often felt like an outcast. When his mutant power of absorbing and releasing cosmic energy manifested, it attracted the deadly Sycophant. The attack led to the X-Men intervening to help Alex. It was here Alex was reunited with his brother Scott, whom was the mutant vigilante Cyclops. Alex was invited to attend the Xavier Institute to learn how his powers can be controlled. After a year of training his plasma blasts, Alex joined the X-Men under the name ***Havok***. Shortly before Alex joined the team, he fell in love with his fellow new X-Men, Lorna Dane aka Polaris. The couple would go on to join a different team of mutant heroes, X-Factor. After Lorna and Alex were married, Havok went on to lead a team of mutant heroes and super heroes known as the Unity Squad.

### Powers

* **Mutant Physiology:** Havok's powers are classified as Emitter (Siphoner), Automatic, and Enhanced. These powers have earned him an Alpha threat level.
	+ **Ambient Energy Conversion:** Alex absorbs the nearby ambient energy and converts it into plasma rings he can throw. His customized suit allows him to direct the rings into a chest beam or hand beams, this makes them easier to aim.
		- **Energy Absorption:** Alex is capable of absorbing all kinds of energy into his body.
		- **Enhanced Jumping:** Alex can propel himself a great distance off the ground by using his plasma beams to launch himself.
		- **Heat Resistance:** Alex is immune to the effects of heat as he absorbs it at all times.

## Weaknesses

* **Uncontrollable Plasma Rings:** Alex is constantly absorbing and converting ambient energy into plasma rings. He can control when they are released, but must release them every 60 hours or he will become violently sick. Once he has released his plasma, Alex has no way of directing where they will travel to without his suit to funnel them.

## Equipment

* **Havok Suits:** All of Alex's suits transfer the plasma rings he generates into a beam he can fire from his chest or from his wrists. By directing the plasma energy forward it blasts from his chest. By directing the plasma energy either to his left or his right it will blast from either of his respective wrists.
