Powers

• wears an electromagnetic body suit that augments his strength, speed, and reflexes, fires concussive force beams, electrical bolts, and magnetic field effects, generates an inertia-dampening force field that disperses energy and physical impact, provides for supersonic flight, and can place him at rest with Earth's magnetosphere, allowing for near-instantaneous spatial shifts at high altitude
• formerly (?) possessed cybernetic enhancements that internalized his suit's features and introduced a secondary computer consciousness in his mind, increasing his intelligence, recall, scanning capabilities and ability to calculate probabilities
• formerly employed a massive terraforming exoskeleton that used hydraulics to boost his strength, used concussive blasters for tunneling, ultrasonic and directional hearing enhancements, and boot rockets for flight
