Charlie Cluster-7 (Earth-616)

## Charlie Cluster-7

**Fantomex** (Charlie Cluster-7), also known as Weapon XIII, was the result of the Weapon Plus Program's experimentation with technological-human hybrids. He was born and artificially "evolved" in The World, a man-made environment designed to create Super-Soldiers using Sentinel technology.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Abnormal Physiology:** Fantomex is an artificially-evolved human and an engineered mutate with three brains for independent parallel processing and nano-active blood. After he was killed, Fantomex was cloned in a way that each of his three brains received a body, leading to the existence of Fantomex, Lady Fantomex, and Dark Fantomex. Later, the clones were thought to have been reabsorbed back into his original body, but this was not the case.

Fantomex's primary nervous system is actually a detachable technological organism called E.V.A. He can see through E.V.A.'s point of view and can take control of her movement. However, this requires extreme concentration on his part. Fantomex is both telepathically and symbiotically linked to E.V.A. and, as a result, whenever E.V.A. is traumatized or injured, Fantomex experiences the same pain.

* **Pain Suppression:** While separated from E.V.A., Fantomex does not possess a nervous system and, thus, feels no pain and seems to be able to ignore most injuries.
* **Electricity Manipulation:** Fantomex has recently shown that he can eject E.V.A. as a ball of bio-electrostatic energy that can shock and immobilize enemies through the usage of her onboard picotech.
* **Superhuman Senses:** Unlike typical humans who possess their neural network on the inside, Fantomex's central nervous system is exposed to the wider world, granting him a vastly increased sensory range. With his enhanced senses, he was able to know about the existence of ForgetMeNot.

**Computer Mind:** Similar to the way Sage possesses more of a computerized program in place of her mind, Fantomex also possesses a technological thought processor for a cerebellum due in part to his Sentinel-like design. This is where his original three minds stem from, and it allows him to swap between the personas of Cluster and Weapon XIII.

* **Superhuman Cognition:** Fantomex has excess cognitive cerebral functioning in the form of two extra programs applied to his design. One of these programs grants Fantomex his incredible social ability and charisma, while the other is a deadly hunter killer of mutants who excels in deception. Fantomex also boasts an impressive analytic cunning when it comes to various subjects.
* **Illusion Manipulation:** Fantomex has the ability to misdirect another person through the use of illusions. Together, the combined consciousness of his three minds can create extremely convincing illusions. His illusions are even powerful enough to fool telepaths.
	+ **Empathic Manipulation:** He can even misdirect a person's feelings.

**Body Manipulation:** His technological brain grants him minor control over his physiological state of being. This was demonstrated by how he managed to reorder his damaged physiology by utilized a digitized variant of the Volga Effect to resurrect and modify himself after he was shot in the head by Domino.

* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** He can place himself in a trance-like state to recover from injuries. In this state, he has been known to forcibly expel bullets and recover faster while placed in water. Additionally, his control over his own physiology grants him a limited healing factor. He cannot regenerate lost or destroyed bodily organs.

**Psychic Shields:** The techno-active bodily fluids within Fantomex's body program his mind to believe that there is nothing greater than himself, making him the dysfunctional epitome of strength for the sake of strength. This makes him resistant to most forms of mind control by giving him the depth of will needed to push through with his own thoughts and desires.

**Inodorosity:** Fantomex's body does not produce any scent, making it difficult for even the likes of Wolverine to track him down.

**Superhuman Strength**

**Superhuman Agility**

#### Former Powers

**Power Bestowal:** After having a pirated copy of Hope Summers' affliction, Fantomex managed to fabricate a digitized version of what ailed her. Rewriting this enabled him to make use of the Volga Effect's empowering abilities without self-destructing but also bestowing himself with new powers whenever he pleased.

* **Wing Manifestation:** He fabricated a pair of techno-organic jet black wings that resembled those of Archangel's. He was able to project the feathers of these wings to use as projectiles.
	+ **Superhuman Speed:** After being teleported to the Sun, he managed to travel back to Earth within mere moments. This showcased his escape velocity to virtual lightspeed motion.
	+ **Flight**
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Fantomex greatly augmented his healing factor under the Volga Effect, being able to revive himself form a bullet to the head in mere moments. Even being sliced apart by a frenzied Marrow and blown apart in an explosion was not enough to stop him, as he was able to rebuild himself.
* **Energy Manipulation:** After being shot in the skull, Fantomex lashed out with countless energized tendrils. After time and practice, he demonstrated the ability to control and discharge other energies in the form of fire balls or plasma.
	+ **Energy Blasts:** He could discharge potent quantities of red energy from various points of his body at will.
	+ **Psychic Energy Manipulation:** He can use the energies under his control to simulate telepathic and telekinetic feats, such as creating powerful "mind screams" to disorient others or to compress and crush a living being into nothing.
	+ **Energy Constructs**
	+ **Force Field Generation**
* **Superhuman Durability:** His toughness had been augmented greatly after he upgraded, taking a bomb blast to the face and shrugging it off with ease. He was able to withstand assaults from multiple X-Force agents and other such superpowered assailants with ease.
* **Superhuman Strength**
* **Size Manipulation**

### Abilities

* **Gifted Intellect:** Fantomex's computerized mind grants him impressive analytic cunning when it comes to various subjects, including psychology, anatomy, mathematics, espionage, and engineering.
	+ **Psychology:** He can read the body language of others with unparalleled precision.
	+ **Anatomy**
	+ **Mathematics**
	+ **Espionage**
	+ **Engineering**
* **Marksmanship:** Fantomex is a skilled marksman.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** He is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant.

### Weaknesses

**Faithlessness:** The programming of the faithlessness his nanites imbue can cause severe mental duress for Fantomex since the lack of faith in empathy can cause him to develop sociopathic tendencies due to being one-upped by people better than him in a certain area.

## Equipment

**Armor:** Fantomex's ceramic armor has goggles (presumably for night vision) that provide some protection. There may be other devices within it. His mask incorporates telepathy-blocking ceramics.

* **Night Vision**
* **Psychic Shields**

**Ceramic Bullets:** Fantomex carries special "mutant-killing" ceramic bullets. They were designed by Sir James Braddock and are unique because the bullets themselves appear to have distorted faces. It is said that those bullets were made from the very skin of another Weapon Plus agent which explains their odd sentience.
