Karnak (Marvel Comics) render

Background[]

  • Full Name: Karnak Mander-Azur

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Inhuman Metabolism: Besides strength, Karnak possesses certain physical skills superior to those of human athletes. His Inhuman metabolism affords him slightly greater reaction time, endurance, and speed than the human race's most perfect physical specimen, Captain America:
    • Superhuman Reflexes:
    • Superhuman Endurance:
    • Superhuman Speed:
    • Superhuman Strength:
    • Superhuman Durability: He has toughened all the striking surfaces of his body in general and his hands in particular, so that they are covered with dense callus. Karnak is capable of shattering wood, cinderblock, and even mild steel.
  • Autonomic Function Control: Karnak has physically conditioned his body and mind to their peak levels of efficiency. He has voluntary control over most of his body's autonomic functions: breathing, heartbeat, bleeding, reaction to pain, rate of healing, etc.
  • Stress Point Detection: Through mental discipline, Karnak has gained the extrasensory ability to perceive the stress points, fracture planes, or weaknesses, physical or psychological, in all objects or persons around him. By striking and applying pressure at these points, he can split or shatter objects made of seemingly invincible substances or render insensate beings of far greater strength than he. This mental discipline is virtually effortless, and Karnak can attain this state of awareness for extended periods of time.
    • Precognition: At his very end, Karnak was able to see fragments of the future, by bending the definition of his powers.
    • Psychological Intuition: An after effect of Karnak's ability to discern faults also includes understanding the logical conclusions stemming to a person's rational.
  • Contortionist: He is extremely lithe and flexible, able to expand and contract his muscles and contort his body into seemingly painful positions.
  • Master Martial Artist: Karnak is a highly skilled martial artist, capable of taking on multiple opponents with his martial art skill, sometimes with a single strike, defeating monsters with nothing but his martial ability and has easily beaten the likes of Black Widow, Iron Man, Human Torch, and Fantomex, and even briefly fought Daredevil, Taskmaster, Black Panther, and Mantis before being defeated. He is easily the best martial artist in Attilan and is one of Earth's finest hand to hand combatants, with his inhuman speed combined with his fighting ability as well as his ability to find weak spots making him a dangerous and incredibly talented martial artist.
