Powers and Abilities
Blizzard has no superhuman powers. However, he wears a battle-suit that contains microcircuited cryogenic units which allow its wearer to generate and focus intense cold on a level beyond that of his predecessor, the original Blizzard. By manipulating this cold, Gill can create blasts of cold, ice missiles and walls of ice from ambient moisture, as well as forming sleet, snow, and freezing rain. He can emit freezing rays capable of lowering the temperature within the ray's range by 50°F (28°C) in about 15 seconds. At the risk of depleting his water supply, he can encase people in snow or ice, create an ice barricade, or form an ice slide beneath his feet.
The current costume used by Blizzard has been improved upon by the members of the Thunderbolts formerly known as the Beetle and the Fixer. It can essentially emulate most of the powers originally wielded by the mutant known as Iceman, including the spontaneous generation of Ice Bridges for extremely swift and maneuverable transportation (it does not give the wearer thermal vision). The limits of this costume are not yet known.
Donnie Gill is otherwise an athletic man, with extensive experience in street-fighting techniques.

“The shadow of a mighty Negro past flits through the tale of Ethiopia the shadowy and of the Egypt the Sphinx. Throughout history, the powers of single blacks flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“One never gets to know a person’s character better than by watching his behavior during decisive moments.... It is always only danger which forces the most deeply hidden strengths and abilities of a human being to come forth.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
