Havok

Alexander "Alex" Summers

  • Havok
  • Public

Alex Summers is the younger brother of Cyclops, separated from him after a plane crash that also cost them their parents, who survived abroad. His mutant ability to absorb cosmic energy and release it as plasma made him a frequent ally and member of the X-Men, though he often clashed with his brother. He went on to lead X-Factor, spent time in space with the Starjammers, ruled a twisted alternate world as Mutant X, and later commanded the Avengers Unity Squad uniting humans and mutants.

Powers and abilities

  • Cosmic energy absorption: passively soaks up ambient cosmic radiation
  • Energy immunity: resistant to most radiation and heat
  • Flight: can propel himself by directing blasts downward
  • Energy shield: forms a brief protective barrier
  • Containment suit: special costume helps regulate his output
  • Scientific training: background in geophysics
