Powers & Training 

As a result of his biological mother's exposure to a mixture of unknown chemical agents while she was three months pregnant, both Colm's central and peripheral nervous system, along with his cerebral cortex were significantly mutated upon birth. These mutations, originally thought by neurologists to be little more than the cause of a hindering neurological disorder, was in time discovered by Colm to be anything but.
Colm, so long as he isn't on his “recommended” cycle of neural inhibitors, is gifted with what some might call superhuman intelligence, reflexes, and even perception. More specifically, his body is able to receive and process information multiple times faster than that of an ordinary human being. In turn, this grants him the following abilities.
Dexterity
Colm is able to preform feats of dexterity far in excess to that of what a normal human should be capable of, and indeed perhaps only limited by the natural limitations of the human body. Such feats include the ability to dodge gunfire by means of visually tracking the shooter's muzzle and oncoming ballistics, holding his own in unarmed combat with multiple human adversaries, and on one occasion has even managed to survive an explosion by physically maneuvering through a cloud of shrapnel so he only received superficial injuries on one arm.
Intelligence
If one defines intelligence as the ability to acquire knowledge and skills, then Colm's degree of intelligence is certainly beyond that of a standard human. His ability to receive and process information allows him to not just learn quickly, but pick out details and solutions to some problems in a manner of moments that most would take most some time to deduce.
Perception
While not as blatantly obvious as his prior mentioned gifts, Colm none the less has a perceptive ability above that of a normal human. His ability to process information at an accelerated rate allows him to pick out minute details or take note of abnormalities in his environment via smell, sight, and hearing then that which could be called normal.
For three years, Colm has immersed himself in the world of criminal investigative techniques. He's read books, listened to podcasts, taken night classes at the local community college, and incorporated the skills he's learned into the vigilante lifestyle. As such he has a healthy degree of knowledge in the art of forensic, criminal, and crime scene investigation.
When Max Bicketts and a number of associates opened the “Dearborn Academy of Martial Arts” six miles outside of Millennium City in 2013, one of their earliest applicants was fourteen year old Malcolm Cantrell. What initially was a passing hobby for Colm, quickly became a way of life after the same incident that lead him to take up the title of Concrete Gospel.
Colm's five years with DAMA have earned him a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and hopes to eventually work his way up to brown. His time at DAMA has also allowed him to study both orthodox boxing, and wrestling, a staple of the modern martial artists He's participated in several golden glove boxing and amateur wrestling competitions, though goes out of his way to throw fights to ensure he doesn't bring too much attention to himself.
Colm is also an ardent fan of MMA, and often makes time in his schedule to watch martial arts competitions. Even on lulls in his nightly patrols within Westside, Concrete Gospel might occasionally be seen watching fights on his cellphone.
Equipment 

Firefield Nightfall
With bad resolution, and based on antiquated fifty year old technology, this gen 1 night vision monocular is none the less an important part of Colm's arsenal.
Its downsides are somewhat mitigated by his own superhuman abilities, but he still hopes to upgrade in the future.
MBAV Plate Carrier
Your standard easily concealed ballistic plate carrier found at a list of online shops. Reliable, not too hard on the wallet when it comes time to replace, and most importantly can be easily customized with numerous pouches.
Condor Assault Pack
Your standard paramilitary backpack picked up at army surplus. Colm keeps all manner of odds and ends in here that he can't fit in his pockets, on his belt, or in the pockets of the MBAV.
Galvanized Steel Pipe
Colm's melee implement of choice. Easy to find, cheap as hell, and hard to track.
Parabolic Microphone
A staple of late twentieth century police and espionage work, the parabolic microphone allows Colm to listen in on conversations at ranges his own ears would be incapable of. Plus it's cheap and easy to maintain, always a plus for him.
Homemade Smoke Grenades
Three parts potassium nitrate, two parts sugar, one part aluminum foil, and one part lighter. Colm tends to use these to cover quick retreats when odds are against him.
Forsheda A4 Gas Mask
Your standard NATO deployed gas mask. Easy to come by, easy to maintain, and with replaceable 40mm gas mask filter the model tends to last Colm a while before he needs to find something new. Comes with a hood as well, in case of exposure to skin irritant chemicals.
Forensics Kit
Probably the most important item in Colm's arsenal. Contained in a modified, portable tool box which he keeps either slotted in the condor or under the seat of his car, the kit contains a number of items important to forensic investigation.
The kit includes numerous items, including but not limited to forensic gloves, fingerprint lift tape, brushes, and powder, camera, notebook, chalk, markers, bags of several types, disposable tweezers, and fluid swabs.
Cable Ties
Who needs hand cuffs? Colm carries a pack of mil-spec cable ties for quickly restraining Westside criminals. He tends to use multiple when it comes stronger adversaries, who often underestimate the durability of industrial grade nylon.
Maglite
Colm's flashlight of choice. Durable, reliable, and works as a club in emergency situations.
First Aid Kit
Suture kits, bandages, antiseptic, and other emergency medical items can be found within the family sized pack. Like the forensics kit, it's often either in his car of in the Condor.
The Eagle
Colm's ride of choice when circumstance requires him to get behind the wheel is his 1987 AMC Eagle. Colm managed to pick it up off of craigslist for about half a grand, and has spent much of the last year fixing it up.
While it isn't about to win a drag race, the Eagle's notorious reliability coupled with Colm's quick reflexes behind the wheel make it just about perfect for what he wants.
