Ice Shard: Recovered by UNTIL
Magnus has the mutant ability to decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor in his immediate environment to below zero degrees celsius causing it to freeze. He is able to mold this ice psionically into various dense shapes by altering the crystalline matrix of the ice and in this manner he is able to quickly form a great variety of ice structures, including projectiles and shields.
He does not have to hold the ice physically with his hands in order to shape it, his mental ability to control the formation of the ice appears to extend a considerable distance from his body, however he must have a line of sight to his target. The intricacy of his ice constructs decreases with distance; he is able to form precisely shaped ice blades at his fingertips which he can throw with great speed and accuracy; however at a distance his creations can only be described as chunks of ice which rain down around his target somewhat haphazardly, but do cause greater damage.
Magnus using plated ice shield
Using his ability to chill the air around him, Magnus can create a swirling vortex of iced wind around his body which can disorient attackers as well ans buffeting them around. Magnus can also use his power for other defensive purposes; for example by creating barriers formed of ice columns between himself and any attackers. He has also recently been able to fashion a fairly intricate shield to provide a more focused defense against direct attacks. This shield is formed by creating interlocking hexagonal plates of ice over his forearm. By constantly replenishing the frozen plates, a resilient and flexible shield can be maintained.
Magnus has found this method of protection resists damage and melting far longer than the larger ice barrier.
While it has been conjectured that he should be able to cover his entire body with these ice plates to form a semi rigid armor, Magnus has as yet been unsuccessful in creating more than a dozen or so plates at a time.
By rapidly chilling the air surrounding his body, Magnus has also discovered that he can create massive temperature gradients. These gradients generate sufficient air currents when coupled with the low pressure area created around him by the chilled air give him greatly increased movement speed on the ground. With sufficient effort Magnus has also demonstrated the ability to fly using the same method. While in flight the temperature gradient actually becomes visible as the air around him takes on properties similar to plasma; creating a blue flame-like glow around him.
MarksmanshipMagnus is an above average marksman having been trained in the use of small arms extensively by the Millennial Pride Police Department on his homeworld prior to his mutation manifesting.
Magnus also is willing to use whatever technology he comes across to aid his battle against evil, including swords or even hammers
