Donald Pierce - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Donald Pierce is a cyborg originally with four artificial limbs, providing him with superhuman strength. His reflexes and agility are also inhumanly fast. These attributes are derived from his artificial body. His body has great resistance to damage and even if it is destroyed, as long as his head is intact he will probably survive. He had the ability to generate a shocking electrical current through his cyborg limbs or to hurl electrical force over short distances. He also had the ability to turn psionic assaults against the attacker to a limited degree. There is now nothing left of his original human body except the head, and how much of the head is even original is unknown. It is unknown if he still has his original brain or if he uploaded his memories, intelligence, and thought engrams into a cyborg computer brain. As a member of the Reavers, he wore body armor.

Aside from his physical advantages, Donald Pierce is a genius in robotics, cybernetics, and electronics. In these fields he has developed technology that exceeds that of conventional science by approximately two centuries. He also has vast financial resources (a prerequisite for membership in the Hellfire Club). He is a college graduate in geological engineering and business administration, and is an accomplished strategist and business administrator. He is a fair hand-to-hand combatant, but relied on his cyborg strength.
