POWERS

Mutant Powers:

Physiological Augment - Enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, agility, stamina.

A reduced form of these powers were already part of Zed’s mutant heritage.

Perception - Hyper-keen senses (sight, hearing, nose, touch, taste) able to scan the environment around and isolate specific targets.

Indeed, Zed was the top marksman of the Exterminators - his hunt/pursuit performances heavily increased by the outstanding senses.

Resilience - The ability to recover quickly from physical and phychic damages. Extremely-accellerated healing system and unlimited immunity to any veneficious batteriological/chemical agent.

Genetic immunization to viral diseases is shared by all the Outlanders. Healing system accelleration was yet present in Zed as 'Mutant', on a reduced level.

Total Recall – Encyclopedic and eidetic memory. Absolute control on the stored informations with possibility to "unlock" them to any type of mental detection.

 

Superior Powers:

All enhanced and trascendental faculties manifested by Zed, once his gentic transition from Mutant to Superior had been stimulated, refined and completed.

Intellectual Osmosis - Ability to absorb and store "infos" through intense tactile encounters with other subjects.

Bio-Energization - Dermal production of an endocrinal substance able to "charge" other subjects with a state of euphory. Such enzimal toxin is released in either aerial or liquid way (sweat). A long, uncharted distribution can debilitate the producing organism.

"Pheromone: any chemical substance released by an animal that serves to influence the physiology or behavior of other members of the same species."

Clairvoyance - The supernatural power of seeing objects or actions removed in space or time from natural viewing, through mental glimpses.

Zed is apparently not able to scan the past so easily; from time to time, he "perceives" flashes from near future events.

Projection - Faculty to "project" a self-simulacrum into parallel planes and dimensions. This counterpart is a faithful reproduction of both mind and body, and works as virtual extension of the subject.

Zed uses this ability to penetrate the Crystal.

Aura - Multi-layered, conscious-induced energetical shield protecting subjects and/or objects in the surrounding area from the effects of unspecified forces.

Time-Manipulation - Capacity to emit psyonic blasts to pierce and/or bend the chronological flux in localized areas, reversing on-going events. This ability opens the door to retroactive continuity, thus the possibility to interact with "recent" happenings (from a present perspective) and "modify" them once and for all.

Zed's greatest power. In a specific moment, he used his Aura in order to repel the effect of the blast on Friend and the other Eternals who stayed behind him.
