Powers

Shaw is a mutant with the ability to absorb kinetic energy to increase his strength, speed, and stamina to superhuman levels. This makes him excessively difficult to defeat in battle, as every blow struck to him only makes him stronger. Unusual tactics must be used to defeat him, usually by incapacitating him or by attacking him psychically. He absorbs the energy of any blow (whether he is striking it himself or being struck). Without absorbing energy he is merely a strong ordinary human, but normally Shaw works to keep his strength at a superhuman level while awake.

Shaw's abilities can be overloaded by too great an influx of power, such as when he was once rendered unconscious by a lightning bolt cast by Storm. He can also be defeated if an opponent focuses on simply immobilizing him without striking him with significant force.
