Powers and Abilities
Mr. Sensitive was a mutant with a variety of powers. The most obvious aspects of his mutation were his purple skin and two antennae protruding from his forehead. He possessed superhuman enhanced senses and a radar-like detection ability from his antennae. He could sense vulnerability, whether emotional or physical, and possessed a corresponding superhuman reflex/reaction rate and level of coordination. If exposed to too much external stimuli, his senses would overload and he would have a seizure. Guy relied on meditation to help alleviate the constant pain (for even a fine mist felt like needles stabbing his skin) until Professor X developed a special suit and ointment to dull his senses and allow him to live a normal life.
Having spent time training in Asia learning various martial arts, Mr. Sensitive was also an extremely capable hand-to-hand fighter. He was noticeably able to strike at "nerve points" with superhuman accuracy, paralysing enemies or putting them to sleep, and was also able to levitate, which was explained as an extremely difficult martial arts skill he actually mastered due to his perfect control over his own senses.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“The art of using moderate abilities to good advantage is a way of stealing the esteem of others, and often brings a man into greater reputation than does real merit.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (16131680)
