Powers and Abilities
The Curtiss Jackson version of Power Broker was an ordinary man until he exposed himself to his own chemical and radiation strength augmentation process. This granted him superhuman strength and durability, but left him with a grotesquely overdeveloped muscular physique which renders him unable to move without artificial aids. Dr. Karl Malus invented a powerful steel alloy exo-skeleton with tongue controls and flight capabilities to enable the Power Broker to move. Jackson has managed to de-augment himself and no longer uses the exo-skeleton. Jackson was briefly the host to a parasitic organism. This allowed him to mind-control anyone infected with the organism's spawn. Jackson has a college degree in business administration, and is a highly skilled administrator and planner.
The second Power Broker wears a battle suit and can project bolts of energy from his hands.

Death his deaths wound shall then receive, & stoop

Shall lead Hell Captive maugre Hell, and show
The powers of darkness bound. Thou at the sight
Pleasd, out of Heaven shalt look down and smile,”
