Powers and Abilities
Chainsaw Vigilante has no superpowers but appears to have advanced martial arts training. His only weapon is a Sears and Roebuck brand chainsaw, which he wields with precise skill. He has never killed anyone with it; shallow cuts are typically sufficient to drive away any would-be heroes.
Despite there being a great many bigger threats in The City, the Chainsaw Vigilante spreads fear with his very presence. At one stage he frightened away a massive flock of heroes, who together could have easily defeated him, before he even realised where he was. He has been bitter towards The Tick who was completely immune to his chainsaw, and thus he has no fear of him (or he is too stupid to realise he should be scared).
His trademark costume is biker boots and leather trousers with a leather jacket that has the legend "Kick yourself" emblazoned on the back and an upside-down smiley badge on the left lapel(a parody of The Comedian from The Watchmen), topped off with an obviously-homemade square smiley mask.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“It contributes greatly towards a man’s moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
