Power Sharing, Regeneration
Lev Balakov, now known as Surge, is a metahuman with the rare power to generate vitality or life force. His abilities include boosting another metahuman's powers, regeneration and unleashing blasts of energy. Surge is also the son of a supervillain, a former villain himself and a convicted felon who now works for UNTIL as a condition of his probation.
Surge is trying to reform himself, but being the good guy is not as easy as it is made out to be.

Personality
Lev Balakov is an animated, energetic and impulsive individual. He is both easygoing and easily distracted. Despite his villainous upbringing, the not-so-outstanding 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, there is definitely no shortage of bad habits. He still struggles with concepts such as personal possession. And following the rules is definitely not an area he excels in yet.
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 his family's many terrible crimes.
Abilities
Hand Blasts - Surge is able to generate far more vitality or life force than his body needs. He can convert the excess life force into energy blasts that release massive concussive force on impact. He unleashes this energy from the palms of his hands. The amount of force that is released depends on the amount of energy Surge put into the blasts, which is typically enough to send a grown man flying or knock down walls.
His energy blasts produce almost no heat and lack the focus to cut through materials like a laser beam.
Enhanced Stamina - Because Surge can generate vitality, he pretty much has an unlimited amount of energy. Another side effect of his power is that his body remains in great shape with very minimal effort.
Power Sharing - Surge can transfer the vitality he generates through physical contact. A regular human would simply feel revitalized, as if their energy levels are suddenly peaking, but for most metahumans this means their meta abilities also gain a temporary energy boost. They may find themselves suddenly able to use their power at its maximum potential, at least temporarily (or as long as physical contact with Surge is maintained), without having to worry about exhausting themselves in the process.
Regeneration - Surge has the ability to regenerate organic matter.
