Powers

• Possesses a high electrolyte count that increases his personal bio-magnetic field and aligns it with Earth’s electromagnetic field to give him total mastery over magnetism, allowing him to sense metallic substances, levitate and manipulate anything containing metal, release magnetic energy as concussive blasts and protective force fields, generate intense heat within metal, draw forth electricity from magnetic fields, manipulate iron in the bloodstream to cause aneurysms, unconsciousness, or biological ruptures, and increase his power by absorbing electricity or intensely cold temperatures
