Personality

Lev Balakov is an animated, energetic and impulsive individual. He is both easygoing and easily distracted. Despite his villainous upbringing, the not-so-upstanding young man has managed to maintain a surprisingly optimistic outlook on life. Lev seems determined to not waste a single moment of his newfound freedom.

Lev is still very much a work in progress, he definitely has no shortage of bad habits. Concepts such as personal possession are still foreign to him. You have to remember his main role model was a supervillain.

At times Lev does seem conflicted, but considering his rather sudden and drastic transition from villain to hero it only makes sense for his moral compass to sometimes be spinning. And while the humor and happy-go-lucky attitude are no doubt in part a facade or coping mechanism, there does appear to be a half decent guy beneath all of it who genuinely wants to make up for his involvement in the family's many terrible crimes.

Abilities

Surge's main power is to generate vitality or life force, which grants him a variety of abilities.
His mutant powers often manifest in the form of vermilion tinted sparks and bright warm light.

Energy Attacks - Surge is able to generate far more vitality than a body needs. He can convert the excess life force into energy attacks that release massive concussive force on impact. The amount of force that is unleashed depends on the amount of energy that Surge put into the attack, but knowing Surge it is typically enough to send a grown man flying across the room or to knock down walls.
His energy attacks produce almost no heat and lack the focus to cut through materials like a laser though.

Enhanced Stamina - Because Surge can generate vitality, he pretty much has an unlimited amount of energy. His muscles simply never tire because his body just keeps on rivatalizing itself almost indefinitely.

Energy Transferal - Surge can transfer the vitality he generates through physical contact, infusing someone with life force and energy. A regular human would simply feel replenished, as if their energy levels are being topped off, but for most metahumans this means their meta abilities also gain a temporary boost. They may find themselves suddenly able to use powers at their maximum potential, at least temporarily (or as long as physical contact with Surge is maintained), without exhausting themselves in the process.

Regeneration - Surge has the ability to regenerate organic matter.
