Grail (WildStorm) - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Like all members of Wetworks, Grail is bonded to a symbiote which normally hides inside him, but can flow out to coat his skin with a golden (or, in Grail's case, pale blue) armour. As well as increasing his durability considerably, this enhances his strength and reflexes. He also has a telepathic link with the other symbiote wearers, the rest of Wetworks.


Grail was a martial arts expert, mostly trained in his native martial Filipino martial arts of Escrima, Arnis de Mano, and Kali as the foundation. His "chi" was enhanced by his symbiote - after a while his Gold began to glow with a blue-white light, called a Chi-State, which enhanced his durability, allowed him to charge hand-to-hand weapons with chi,preferably his Escrima Battons. He is also able to burn organic matter on contact and create forcefields that protect him from all directions as well as healing most wounds very rapidly.

During his later appearances, Grail began to demonstrate considerable energy manipulation beyond simple chi. He was able to contain and dissipate beings made of pure EM energy, contain closing portals in his hands and keep them open, track energy signatures/sources, shift invisible radiation into the visible spectrum, create EMPs and fields that interfered with both radio signals and telepathy and convert himself to pure energy to travel through electrical/phone lines.

    “My Vanquisher, spoild of his vanted spoile;
    Death his deaths wound shall then receive, & stoop
    *nglorious, of his mortall sting disarm’d.
    I through the ample Air in Triumph high
    Shall lead Hell Captive maugre Hell, and show
    The powers of darkness bound. Thou at the sight
    Pleas’d, out of Heaven shalt look down and smile,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
