Powers

• Bio-blasts of thermo-concussive
energy able to strike with pure force
or combustion, channeled through
wood as a conductive medium such
as his walking stick
• Viral wood implants symbiotically replaced lost tissue, allowing him to walk without his shillelagh and channel amplified bio-blasts through his own body without an outside medium
• Secondary mutation transformed his body entirely into wood or plant matter, allowing him to control trees and plant life remotely, assimilate additional vegetable matter into his body to increase in size, strength, and scope, rebuild his body when damaged, or perpetually transplant his consciousness between different masses of plant matter to survive the destruction of previous bodies
• Post-Decimation, could still control plant-life but no longer experienced physical transformations to do so
