Other distinguishing features Omega Red has chalk-white skin. Implanted within his arms are long coils made of carbondium, an alloy that resembles adamantium but is more malleable and considerably less resistant to damage. Omega Red can cause the coils to shoot forward from openings on the underside of his wrists in order to ensnare victims. He can also use the coils as a conduit for his lethal pheromones.
POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Death Factor Omega Red can generate a "death field" around him which can also be channeled through his tentacles. this is almost the reverse of a Healing Factor. The field saps the life force of living creatures. Omega Red can suck the life force out of everyone within 2 APs of himself (with standard Multi-Attack penalties). The ability resolves as the Vampirism power, allowing Omega Red to transfer APs of Body from the opponent's to his own Body. Such an attempt requires an Action Check with AV/EV equal to 12/12 (his APs of Power) and OV/RV equal to the opponent's Str/Body, RAPs gained equal the number of APs transferred to Omega Red. APs transferred through this Death Factor will repair damage Omega Red has received. However, the total Body may never rise above Omega Red's normal AP level (8) through this power. A fully healed Omega Red may still use this power as an attack form to damage an opponent. If the target's Body falls below Zero, the victim dies and the body disintegrates.
Lethal Pheromones Omega Red can release a cloud of pheromones that cause people to feel ill and collapse (Poison Touch). Anyone within 2 APs of Omega Red will be affected. The initial Action Check is resolved with Omega Red's AV/EV equal to his Dex/APs of Poison Touch and the opponent's Dex/Body as the OV/RV. RAPs gained indicate the victims are rendered unconscious for 1D10 Phases. While unconscious, the opponent is further attacked by the Power each Phase with APs of Poison Touch as the AV/Ev and the victim's Body/Body as the OV/RV. These attacks continue each phase until one of them fails. This simulates the poison spreading through the victim's body. Omega Red may not initiate another Poison touch attack on the same victim until the previous attack fails. Characters with Sealed Systems Power, or who do not breathe are unaffected.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Like Captain America, Omega Red is a man out of time. Nationalistic passions, combined with the mind of a serial killer and the finest lethal technology the KGB could devise, make Omega Red a walking agent of death. But he has also been manipulated by the Hand, Sabertooth, Lady Deathstrike, and even his government. He is tired of it.

Exusiai's Notes This was another of those that was hard to find a conversion for, or how to write up the powers for. I loved this character when he came out, he had a unique design, and was pretty much the "anti-Wolverine". I always wanted to see Omega Red show up and fight Wolvie instead of Sabertooth.
