## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Chaos was once the ace hero of District 17: Dust City, in other words he was one of the Special Forces in the Hero Clan, a designation based solely on combat skill that officially deemed him the strongest hero in the district. Baek-Ji states that he was as powerful as Prosecutor and the other special forces in his prime. With his full equipment he was able to fight Engen during daytime fairly well, but he ultimately lost as his body had been worn down by being overworked by the hero clan to the point where he could no longer use his full equipment and gift to the extent he wants to. Even without his gift and armor, Chaos' tactics, intellect, and experience made him a deadly fighter. He expertly uses his understanding of the environment and his opponent to outmaneuver them, spring traps, and eventually defeating them, as shown in his and Viper fight against both Hero Killer and his fight with the Puppeteer.

### Gift

**Retrocognition:** Chaos can discern the past and past events using various means. He can recall any events that happened in the past, even obscure, intricate events via looking into his targets or touching something like their blood. However, this ability is Occasionally spontaneous as it shows who did what at that particular time; similar to the psionic/extrasensory ability of Clairvoyance but only seeing anything from the past, despite not being there.

Chaos's gift, mainly helps him read the movements or watch a person's actions in the past in order to track down, study, and predict their movements, this, usually is used to predict the enemy's next action by seeing the similarities these movements share between the present and the past.

After his fight with Engen, he can no longer activate or use his gift at will, however as his gift isn't a direct offensive type he can still fight just fine.
