Powers and Abilities
Adam is a Shi'ar/human hybrid, and as such possesses the traits and abilities of both species. His strength is slightly superhuman, and his stamina and endurance is many times that of a normal human. Adam's speed and reflexes/reactions are far superior to both human and Shi'ar. As he is also half Shi-ar, who are evolved from birds of prey, he also possesses superhuman senses, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance which are standard to that alien race.
In addition to being a hybrid, Adam is also a haemopyrokinetic mutant who possesses the X-gene, due to his half-human heritage, and has the power to "flash fry" an enemy. He can cause the electrolytes present in oxygenated blood to ignite, causing the person to burn from the inside out. Any person with an open cut becomes a target for him. To this end he carries Shi'ar blades, known as Thet’je blades, to cut his enemies and thus oxygenate their blood. Adam uses a trigger word of "Burn" to activate this power and his eyes glow red.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“If powers divine
Behold our human actions—as they do—
I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
