==Powers and Abilities== | |||
Federation Man possesses no extraordinary powers other than his genetic defaults from his cross-bred species. For most of his existence, it is the arsenal of genes that have included strength, intelligence, longevity and stamina. In the early stories, Federation Man's powers were dependent upon the weaponry and "gadgets" given to him by Starfleet and the FBN, which he would utilise through the course of the comic. | |||
With the evolution of the character and the story, there was the chance to create and evolve other "powers" for the character. After his return from the alternate universe in 2378, Federation Man helped a colony on Betazed defend itself from the criminal racquets which had set up on an orbiting station. In order to infiltrate the base, he was trained to use his Betazoid genetics to the full extent and become empathic as well as partially telepathic. This is perhaps the most significant rewrite for the character. | |||
Due to the lack of superpowers, Federation Man has no specific weakness other than his dependency on the FBN for support. His link to the FBN is contained inside a chip at the base of his brain which not only amplifies his genetic abilities but allows Starfleet to monitor his movements and transport items of use to him at any given moment. This link has been severed on several occasions, one resulting in his untimely death on the Borg cube in 2378. | |||
