POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Kinetic Absorption Shaw is able to absorb kinetic energy and convert it to physical Strength, Dexterity, and Body. He must be in contact with the energy to absorb it. Whenever Shaw is attacked physically (slugfest, missile weapons, concussive rays, etc., but not wrestling) or by energy attacks that must strike him to hurt him (Cyclops' optic blast, lightning bolts, etc.) the appropriate amount of damage is added to his Power Reserve, not deducted from His Body. APs of Energy in his Power Reserve are distributed first to his Body. For every 2 APs of Body Shaw gains, he then adds 1 AP to Str, then the next AP to his Dex. Therefore if he absorbs 4 APs of Damage, his Body would increase to 7, his Dex to 5, and his Str to 6. and so on, up to a maximium of Dex: 9, Str: 10, Body: 15. This energy dissipates after ten Phases by increments of 5 APs. All damage Shaw does receive (magic, mental, non-kinetic attack forms such as cold and humidity) is taken off his excess Body, his mind or his Spirit first, then his own, and he takes no damage from those attacks he absorbs.
If Shaw is at his maximum of 15 Body and struck by an attack that he would normally absorb, Shaw is in danger of overloading. He must make an Ability Check using Power Reserve as the AV/EV and his current Body as the RV/OV, if he fails, then Shaw will either die, or may spend 50 Hero Points and merely become comatose for 5d10 weeks.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Sebastian Shaw is a stylish rogue who admires the ruthless, indulgent habits of the late 18th-Century upper class. His primary goal is the accumulation of power. His secondary goal is the death of Selene, the new Black Queen. Shaw enjoys fighting, but he never enters a fight personally unless there is a good reason. Shaw intends to seize control of mutants by secretly masterminding the government's Sentinel program , and by pitting powerful mutants, such as Magneto and Selene, against each other.

Exusiai's Notes So, this guy is Lex Luthor, basically with an INSANE Power ability. Basically he can absorb any physical or energy attack against him that is not Magical or Psychic (a TK Blast he could absorb, but a Blast to his brain he could not.)
