Notes:

Real name was revealed in Maverick #1. His Legacy Virus infection was revealed in Wolverine (2nd series) #87. Formerly had the power to absorb kinetic impact and disperse it harmlessly from his system. Long dormant, this power resurfaced and mutated in Maverick #1, allowing him to rechannel the kinetic energy into thermo-concussive bursts, hyperkinetic impact, and intense heat through his palms. Powerloss confirmed in New Avengers (1st series) #18.

Several secondary sources, like the Marvel 90's trading cards, asserted that Maverick was a precog, able to look a short period into the future. This was never depicted in the comics, and the source of this information is unknown. Possibly it came from earlier character design notes about Maverick.
