1. Body Power (Cosmic Battery/Plasma Generation): Alex has the mutant ability to absorb ambient cosmic energy into the cells of his body, transform it in an unknown manner, and release it at will as waves of energy that heat the air in their path enough to turn it into plasma (Plasma is a super-heated state of matter consisting of charged subatomic particles). The Plasma Blasts' range and damage are calculated a bit differently than normal (both values are now dependent on the amount of PR spent to fuel the attack in question). Instead of rolling a random die for damage, plasma blasts have a set damage value (depending on type of attack) per PR spent. The same is true for Range (a set distance per PR spent) and as such, both damage and range values are linked together since they are based on the same PR cost (i.e. an aimed Plasma Blast that costs 6 PR will do 30 points of damage with a range of 24"). Area Blast: Alex can channel plasma that will emanate from his body in all directions. Attacks as Disintegration Power, +4 to hit, Damage: 4 Points/2 PR spent, Range: 1" radius (attacks all targets, hostile and friendly) per 2 PR spent. Aimed Attack: He can also purposely tries to channel the cosmic energy in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms. Attacks as Disintegration Power, +2 to hit (includes Training Bonuses), Damage: 5 points per 2 PR spent, Range: 4" per 2 PR spent. Havok is himself immune to the intense heat he creates from his Plasma Blasts. Havok's body is constantly in the process of absorbing cosmic energy (regains Heal Rate in Power per hour). When each of his body's power-storage cell enclaves reaches its capacity, excess cosmic energy is thereafter absorbed and immediately re-emitted in negligible quantities. |

3. Special Weapon (Havok's Costume): Created by Larry Trask, this costume has a chest display that monitors the build-up of cosmic energy within Alex. The suit also helps Alex to focus and channel his plasma energy. Havok gains the following abilities as long as he is wearing his costume:
a. Heightened Attack: +1 Damage per Level (+7 total) on all Plasma Blasts (aimed or radius attack). |
||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. Weakness (Low Self-Control): The channeling of his Plasma Generation power is physically and mentally exhausting for Havok. Should Havok spend more than 33 points of Power in an hour, he must make an Endurance Check (d20) or become fatigued (he behaves as if he has no Power Points left). He may attempt to make the Endurance check inbetween turns until he either makes it, or he regenerates 10 points of power, whichever comes first. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 5. Weakness (Prejudice): Havok is a mutant and as such, he is feared and hated by the world around him. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Origin and Background: (American) Alexander Summers is the younger of the two sons of Christopher Summers, a United States Air Force Major and test pilot, and his wife Katherine Anne. When Alex was still a pre-adolescent boy, his father flew himself, Alex, Katherine Anne, and Alex's older brother Scott in his vintage private plane back from a vacation. The plane encountered a scoutship of the extragalactic Shi'ar Empire, which set the wooden plane ablaze. Katherine Anne Summers pushed Scott and Alex out of the burning plane with the only available parachute. Thus the two boys escaped the Shi'ar, although their parents did not. (Scott and Alex both believed their parents had been killed until, as adults, they were reunited with their father, who had since becaome Corsair, leader of the Starjammers). The two boys were hospitalized for injuries they sustained during their landing, since their overburdened parachute had been unable to slow their descent safely enough. Scott and Alex both suffered traumatic amnesia about the incident on the plane. Alex left the hospital in two weeks, and was placed in an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska. Soon adopted, Alex had little or no contact with Scott until years later. Alex was unaware of Scott's developing mutant power or his identity as Cyclops of the X-Men until after the younger Summers had graduated from college. It was at that time that Alex first became aware of his own mutant abilities. A Professor of Archaeology named Ahmet Abdol, who was also a mutant who called himself the Living Pharaoh, had discovered a psychic link between himself and Summers. While both of them had the latent mutant power to absorb and transform cosmic radiation, Abdol's ability to exercise the power was jammed in an unknown manner by Summers' body. Capturing the youth and taking him to his laboratory in Egypt, Abdol found a way to screen Summers' body from ambient cosmic radiation, permitting his own body to attain its latent potential. Abdol was thus transformed into the Living Monolith, a gigantic mutant with vast cosmic power. The Monolith was defeated while in combat with the X-Men when Summers' latent mutant powers surfaced under the stress of entombment within the mechanism designed to screen him from cosmic radiation. Incapable of controlling the shock waves his body emanated, Summers chose to remain in the Egyptian desert rather than accompany the X-Men back to America. Summers was soon captured by one of the mutant-hunting robotic Sentinels and brought to the headquarters of Larry Trask, the son of the Sentinels' inventor. Trask gave Summers a costume whose chest display monitored the build-up of cosmic energy within him, and the codename Havok. When the X-Men finally freed Trask's captive mutants, Summers accompanied his brother and his teammates back to civilization where he began to undergo training to help him keep his energy in check. Eventually Havok gained enough mastery over his power that he would release it only when he wished to do so, and could wield his power skillfully enough to become a formidable opponent in battle. Havok fell in love with Lorna Dane, the mutant now known as Polaris. Neither Havok nor Polaris wished to lead a life as an adventurer, but they discovered that they had a mutual interest in geophysics. Hence, they are now both doing doctoral research in that subject in the Diablo mountain range in Arizonia. Havok and Polaris have never been full-time X-Men, but they are willing to help the X-Men in emergancy situations, and have done so in the past.
