Powers

• Exotic carbon molecule tissue gives him enhanced strength and can reorganize its structure with a charge of bio-energy so that his entire body transforms into organic metal, increasing his mass, strength, speed and endurance while making him virtually indestructible and capable of surviving without food or air
• Formerly defaulted to his armored state, only able to return to human form through concentration
• Formerly suffered a power instability due to nano-Sentinels, causing his body to fluctuate between flesh and metal in waves over his skin; employed chest-mounted regulator that stabilized his condition and allowed him to trigger his conversion manually
• Formerly empowered as the avatar of Cyttorak, becoming a living juggernaut with substantially augmented strength, foot speed, limitless endurance, increased tolerance for pain, nigh-invulnerability, healing factor, regenerative mystical armor that could be summoned at will, including a helmet that protected him from psychic attack, and a force field that redistributed force and helped make him unstoppable while in motion
• Formerly empowered by the Phoenix Force with significant telepathic and telekinetic abilities, powers of molecular manipulation and control over life and evolution, and access to cosmic energies in the form of a fiery bird of prey
• Formerly empowered as the Horseman of Apocalypse, increasing his metallic strength and durability, and allowing him to manipulate the liquid metal of his body to extend his reach or morph coils or other shapes
