Powers and Abilities
Courier has the ability to control and 'talk to' every cell in his body, giving him the ability to shape-shift (amongst other things). These abilities are so powerful that he can tune his body so that it does not register as a mutant on scanners, and can keep his cells alive after they have been cut off, and order them to 'die', and can re-grow severed limbs. However, his powers do have limitations, such as that he cannot create matter beyond the normal human cell growth. For example: when he was forced to grow back his own finger after Gambit cut it off, he lost an inch of height for quite some time because the matter had to come from somewhere. Also, the willing transformation into a female form took him some hours.

“And as the sun above the light doth bring,
Though we behold it in the air below,
So from th’ eternal Light the soul doth spring,
Though in the body she her powers do show.”

“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.”
