Shadowlash

**Name**: Shadowlash

**Species**: Adamantian

**Homeworld**: Visunia

**Appearance**: Shadowlash is a humanoid that looks like a muscular brown Wolverine. He wears a outfit that looks like Wolverine but in black and red. The Omnitrix is on his belt.

**Powers and Abilities**:

**Regenerative Healing Factor**: Shadowlash's body naturally regenerates most (if not all) damaged or destroyed tissues and organs at a rate which exceeds that of any normal human. The rate of regeneration is proportional to the damage caused. This process is automatic and Shadowlash seems to have no control over it. His healing factor, however, does not seem to stop Shadowlash from feeling the pain of his wounds nor the pain of his body regenerating itself. The speed at which he heals has fluctuated considerably in recent years. He is capable of fully healing injuries resulting in massive tissue damage and blood loss such as multiple bullet wounds, slash wounds, and puncture wounds within a matter of minutes. His healing factor is developed to such a degree, he is capable of reattaching severed limbs, such as a hand. He has also proven capable of regrowing an entire arm on his own.

**Contaminant Immunity**: Shadowlash's natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons, viruses, diseases, and most drugs. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated from alcohol. It can be accomplish with extraordinary amounts of alcohol, and even then the entire cycle of intoxication and hangover can be completed in mere minutes. Shadowlash's healing factor has cured him of the mystical curse of lycanthropy after he had been bitten and turned into a werewolf, and from vampirism; though it should be noted that the time it took to cure the werewolf curse was longer than the time it took to cure him of vampirism, when he was infected with vampirism he had also been infected with nanites to temporarily deactivate his healing factor and use him as a 'booby-trap' on the vampires.

**Disease Immunity**: Due to his highly efficient immune system, Shadowlash is immune to all Earthly diseases, disorders, and infections. Shadowlash's supernatural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs.

**Fatigue Resistance**: Shadowlash is partially resistant to fatigue poisons produced from physical activity.

**Decelerated Aging**: In addition, Shadowlash's healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.

**Insulated Weather Adaptation**: His body is highly resistant to certain elemental extremes, particularly cold.

**Telepathic Resistance**: Shadowlash has stated that Adamantians are resistant to telepaths. Shadowlash has demonstrated resistance to telepathy; his mind contains a "trap" awaiting anyone attempting to delve into his head, and his mind is also able to recover lost memories or reject false ones. His healing factor creating “mental scar tissue” blocking it, although he is not completely immune to telepathy as he does appear to be vulnerable to extremely powerful telepaths such as Laura.

**Psychic Defenses**: Shadowlash has demonstrated a level of resistance against psychic probes and attacks: When he first arrived at the Akatsuki hideout it took Emma's Sharingan time to finally break through them and be able to freely probe his mind. His defenses were also strong enough to expel Jackie's consciousness when he attempted to take over his body.

**Retractable Bone Claws**: Shadowlash's skeleton includes six retractable foot-long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Shadowlash could, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin between the knuckles on each hand. The bone claws are naturally sharp and tougher than normal human bone; even before they were infused with the metal, they could penetrate most flesh and many natural materials. After augmentation, his bones became indestructible and his claws are capable of piercing any material (relative to its thickness and the force Shadowlash can exert). The metal bonding process which affected his bones effectively transformed them into a new alloy which, combined with his healing factor, prevents his metal skeleton from interfering with his bone marrows production of blood cells. Shadowlash can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he needs to keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws pass from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are entirely within his forearms, allowing him to bend his wrists when they are extended. He can form a metallic substance around his claws at will.

**Hot Claws**: Shadowlash can cause his claws to heat up several thousand degrees in seconds. A trait which is seemingly tied to Shadowlash's berserker rage, how hot they can get remains a mystery but they can reach high enough temperatures to cause gasoline to ignite on contact with it.

**Pheromone Control**: Shadowlash also possesses empathic pherokinetic abilities as well as an ability to mask his own scent to such a degree that even werewolves senses are unable to track him. He can use his pheromones to manipulate the emotional state and sensory perceptions of other beings, and has been known to use this power to instill intense fear, happiness, depression, fascination, and a false sense of security. The latter allows him to seemingly appear out of nowhere at times, enabling him to inflect damage before an opponent realizes he's there. Such tactics give opponents the belief that he can either teleport or move at superhuman speeds, though he stated during his fight with Hanzo that he doesn't possess either of those powers. He also uses this ability against Diego, telling him that his abilities allow him to distort or hinder an enemy's depth perception and visual acuity, causing them to fight sluggishly. When not deliberately controlled, Shadowlash's pheromones cause those around him to mirror his own moods. Shadowlash's pheromone abilities are at their most effective when a target is unaware of either their existence or their implementation, because unlike omega-level pherokinetics, he cannot assume direct control of a target's actions and reactions, and a wary target can push past their effects as an act of will. He also appears to have great knowledge as to the capabilities of pheromones in general, as well as their taste and smell. In conjunction with his enhanced senses and knowledge of pheromones, he can expertly judge the emotional/physical state of those around him, both animal and human.

**Organic Metal Skeleton**: His entire skeleton is covered in a metallic substance secreted by his body immediately following the first time he extended his claws. Shadowlash's claws are durable enough to cut through steel. At a later time, he coated his teeth in this substance and now appears to be able to do it with his whole skeleton. As a result, Shadowlash's bones are virtually unbreakable. The presence of the metal has further enhanced the already razor-sharp edge of Shadowlash's bone claws. Aside from being practically indestructible, the claws are capable of cutting through any solid material, with the known exception of Proto-Adamantium (Captain America's Shield). However, Shadowlash's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon the thickness of the substance and the amount of force he can exert. The metal also weighted his blows, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of his punches and kicks. His claws is able to damage Class 100+ durability foes such as Way Big. His claws has been shown to easily penetrate the Titan King, Alcazath in the chest.

**Superhumanly Acute Senses**: Shadowlash's super-human senses are a combination of a separate ability and his Healing Factor since his sense organs atrophy at a much slower rate than normal humans. His most improved senses are sight, hearing and smell. Due to these enhanced senses, Shadowlash has claimed he can function in complete darkness as though it were daylight. Shadowlash's senses of sight, smell, and hearing are all heightened to some degree of superhuman accuracy. He can see much further and with greater clarity than a normal human, even retaining much of this clarity even in near total darkness. Shadowlash's hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to detect sounds normal humans cannot and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. Shadowlash's sense of smell is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent, even if the scent has been greatly eroded by time and weather factors, with an extraordinary degree of success.

**Superhuman Hearing**: Shadowlash is capable of hearing sounds from a far greater distance than any human.

**Superhuman Sight**: Shadowlash sight is improved, allowing him to see further than a normal human.

**Superhuman Smell**: Shadowlash's sense of smell is even more magnified and allows him to recognize and track objects and people just by smell alone. Ben once posited that Shadowlash race's sense of smell is more developed than Vulpimancers.

**Superhuman Taste**: Shadowlash can distinguish individual ingredients in food or drink he consumes at a smaller part per volume than a normal person.

**Superhuman Touch**: Shadowlash's sense of touch gives him greater sensitivity to air direction and temperature differentials in his environment. He is able to sense Eye Guy's incoming power beam based on the shift in air pressure that precedes its arrival.

**Superhuman Strength**: Shadowlash's reinforced skeleton allowing him to withstand high levels of physical pressure. His strength is also boosted to enhanced levels, allowing him to briefly lift over 800 lbs but no more than 2 tons.

**Superhuman Speed**: Shadowlash is able to move at low level superhuman speeds. He has attacked faster than the eye could follow and even Delsin briefly thought Shadowlash was faster than he was in their first friendly spar. His combat speed seems more enhanced then anything else, as he has frequently kept up with Chun in combat, and blitzed people before they pull their trigger fingers.

**Superhuman Stamina**: Shadowlash's healing factor grants him superhuman stamina and is partially immune to fatigue toxins generated by physical exertion and thus has greater endurance than actual humans. His stamina has been described as metahuman, indicating the ability to continually exert himself for several days at peak efficiency. His lung capacity is at peak human level enabling him to hold breath for 6 minutes under water.

**Superhuman Durability**: Shadowlash has superhuman durability due a combination of his healing factor and Indestructible skeleton.

**Enhanced Reflexes and Agility**: Shadowlash's reflexes and agility are enhanced beyond the capabilities of the normal human body. On several occasions, he was able to dodge Eye Guy's optic blasts with ease, although this is partly due to his enhanced senses.

**Animal Empathy**: Shadowlash has been seen to be able to understand the emotions of animals around them and communicate with them on a very basic level. Shadowlash has been seen to be able to show animals his intentions and actions so he would not be perceived as a threat to them.

**Energized Bone Claws**: Shadowlash's claws radiate some form of negative which seemingly augments their lethality.

**Multi-Claw Projection**: Shadowlash  produces multiple jet black razor sharp protrusions coming out of his forearms with which to eviscerate opponents.

**Anti-Healing Factor**: The energy that Shadowlash's claws are laced in have an effect that can negate healing factors.

**Increased Biomass**: Shadowlash gained additional physiological augmentation, such as increased skin density and muscle mass; making him appear bigger and vastly increasing his physical strength.

**Berserker Rage**: When severely injured or angered, Shadowlash can enter berserker rage which it increases his physical attributes and reduces the feeling of pain but at the cost of rational thought, becoming him akin to a feral animal.

**Weakness**:

**Drowning**: Of the few ways to kill Shadowlash, given drowning cuts the brain's oxygen supply. He has admitted that being kept underwater can kill him, with the healing factor only prolonging the agony. Shadowlash added that he is not fond of being on water, as the addition of nearly 100 pounds of his heavy bones to his body reduced his buoyancy.

**Sensory Overload**: One of Shadowlash's weaknesses is the fact that his heightened senses could be taken advantage of. For instance, when Shadowlash was fighting Albedo as Rage Riot, he was nearly killed by Albedo's thunderclaps due to his heightened sense of hearing.

**Hot Claws**: The new addition to his abilities comes with the drawback of weakening his healing factor the longer he has them active, having gone full tilt berserker during a skirmish with the Isolon Fist leaving him drained as they absorb energy from his Healing Factor in order to work.

**Decapitation/Severe Spinal Damage**: Alex once stated that Shadowlash could be killed if his head became separated from his body, causing his brain to be unable to send signals to the section(s) of his body that needs healing. However, it has been shown he can fully heal his own body from a single drop of blood.

**Berserker Rage**: In this state, he loses all self control and rational thought, attacking anyone in his path, including allies.
