Ahmet Abdol (Earth-616)

**Living Monolith** (*Ahmet Abdol*) is an Egyptian mutant who was powered through an X-gene transfer from Havok.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Optic Blasts:** As the Living Monolith, he has the ability to emit cosmic energy as blasts of concussive force from his eyes. He can only utilize his powers as the Living Monolith and can transform into this state only when cosmic radiation is channeled into his body through a focusing medium, such as the Cheops Crystal, or when cosmic radiation is prevented from reaching his counterpart, Havok.

**Energy Absorption:** The Living Monolith has been genetically altered by splicing his own mutant genes with those of the X-Man Havok. This modification allows him to absorb large amounts of cosmic radiation, although since Havok absorbs the same radiation, the Living Monolith's powers can be limited when Havok absorbs background radiation that might otherwise be used to fuel the Living Monolith. Although there seems to be no clear upper limit to the amount of power he can absorb, it is also possible to overload his powers.

* **Energy Blasts:** Although Havok projects absorbed radiation as energy blasts, the Living Monolith has a broader range of powers. He is able to project energy as intense heat, concussive force, or sonic vibrations.
	+ **Heat Generation**
	+ **Force Blasts**
	+ **Vibration Generation**
* **Physical Augmentation:** Stored energy also affects his physical form, increasing his size, mass, strength, durability, and lifespan.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**
	+ **Superhuman Durability**
	+ **Longevity**

#### Former Powers

**Avatar of Cyttorak:** While the Avatar of Cyttorak, the Living Monolith was granted a god-like body by the Crimson Gem bonding to his soul.

* **Superhuman Strength:** While the Avatar of Cyttorak, he possessed vast superhuman strength. The limits of this strength were unknown.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** His body generated no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him limitless stamina in all physical activities.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Despite his immense size, the Living Monolith's superhumanly strong leg muscles allowed him to run and move at speeds beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. He could run at speeds of 111 miles per hour or more.
* **Superhuman Durability:** The Living Monolith's skin, muscle, and bone tissues were about four times denser than the same tissue in the body of a human being. This resulted in him being near-invulnerable to all forms of physical injury. He was highly resistant to pain and was immune to all toxins, poisons, and disease.
	+ **Toxin Resistance**
	+ **Disease Immunity**
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** If damaged or injured, he could regenerate at superhuman speeds.
* **Self-Sustenance:** He was completely self-sustained as the Avatar of Cyttorak. He had no need to breathe, eat, or drink and cannot sleep. However, his self-generating mystical energies provided him with nourishment that humans receive from sleep, nutrition, hydration, and oxygen.
* **Immortality:** He was immortal and did not age a millisecond past his physical prime.
* **Force Field Generation:** He was capable of generating a personal force field for many purposes, such as preventing physical contact, keeping unwanted materials off himself, and protecting himself and others.
* **Inertia Empowerment:** Once he began to advance in a certain direction, it was virtually impossible to halt his movement.
