## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Negative Spirit Empowerment**: Larry Trainor was "accidentally" sent into a field of cosmic radiation with the Negative Spirit present while testing an experimental jet in the stratosphere. When he crash landed back on earth his physiology had changed permanently and requires the Chief's bandages to protect those around him from his radiation.
	+ **Radiation Production**: Larry has the ability to release the Negative Spirit, a being composed of an as of yet unidentifiable form of radioactive energy. The being has it's own free will, and can come out at any time it pleases, though this is evidently easier when Larry is under stress. While the being is out, Larry goes unconscious, his mind inhabiting a dream world created by the Negative Spirit.
	+ **Temperature Immunity**: Larry is shown to be able to withstand extreme temperatures, ranging from -100 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
* **Longevity**: Other than the Immortus Initiative, Larry's powers seem to have granted him some degree of slowed aging as he possesses the same body fifty years later as he did when the accident occurred with no sign of change.

### Abilities

* **Expert Pilot**: Larry was once one of the top pilots in the U.S. Air Force. He was chosen to fly the most advanced and most experimental jets and planes.
* **Skilled Combatant**:

### Weaknesses

* **Power Instability**: Larry is not able to control when the Negative Spirit comes out, and when it does, it leaves his body unconscious, while his mind is forced into a vision created by the spirit. While this vision is typically torturous, it doesn't have to be, as the Negative Spirit does sometimes try to make it pleasant for Larry.

## Equipment

* **Special Bandages**: The bandages Larry wears is exclusively made for him in order to contain the radiation he emits.
