Power Incarnate
Roman Hand is what one would call driven, focused, dedicated, a man who devotes himself wholeheartedly to his work. His work on the other hand isn’t the most righteous of tasks though, in truth his devotion is to his one true mistress power. In his mind the truth is very simple, power comes not from how much you can lift or how fast you can run. Power comes from who you know and how much that person can lift. The powerful one is not the man with the strength but rather the dog who holds his leash. Through his practices Roman Hand has earned the title of one of the world's most powerful mutants, not in terms of ability but rather in terms of control. His mutant ‘disability’ as he refers to it is public information however(only the fact that he is radioactive, the type of radiation isn't public), he uses this to brighten his look in the eyes of the media. A mutant who is also an entrepreneurial business mogul, the headlines eat that up. His company manufactures synthetic skin and prosthetics for those in need and he uses himself as an example. Because of his mutation his skin is incredibly radioactive and most people can’t come within a few feet of him before risking radiation poisoning. Through the use of his company's synthetic skin though he has been able to counteract this risk allowing for people to come near.
However this is all a front, a disguise that hides what goes on beneath the surface. His power comes not only from his pull with the media but also his pull with the criminal underworld. If he want’s someone dead they wind up dead without him even lifting a finger. Top of the line mobsters hide their tails between their legs when he walks through the door, this is where his true power comes from. His pull in both the light and the dark of the world make him a powerful ally and a horrifying enemy.
X-Gene-Alpha Radiation
Roman’s X-gene is one most would consider a curse, once it began developing his body began breaking down and converting. His skin peeled away and his muscles began to break down, inevitably over the course of three years his body replaced the natural tissue with radioactive material. This material was exceptionally destructive to humans though as it was a type of radiation not found on Earth and only found in space. His body began to emit high energy alpha particles in the form of gas. When these particles are ingested or inhaled they are brought close enough to sensitive tissues to cause permanent damage. Roman’s X-Gene however empowered this effect making the process cause more intense cell damage at a faster rate. These particles not only damage but physically decay internal organs. As they move down your trachea they begin decaying the walls which leads to shortness of breath and the feeling of suffocation. Following that they enter the lungs where they begin ionizing the tissue. This leads to a lack of oxygen in which your brain struggles to function. The particles then begin destroying veins and eating away at other organs. Internal bleeding and the leakage of stomach acid and bacteria into the rest of the body. The result is a slow and painful death depending on the quantity of particles released.
Through practice he has learned to control the output of his radioactive particles, this allows him to increase or decrease the amount that his body produces. This is done by forcing his body to expend waves of Alpha Particles in either a controlled cone or a pulse. The cone allows for a more concentrated application of radiation to a specific target allowing their body to intake more alpha particles and decay faster. The pulse allows for a wider spread allowing more bodies to take in less particles. His decreased output(what his body normally produces when his synthetic skin isn’t on) isn’t enough to kill if you only suffer minute exposure to it. However as he increases the output the time to kill increases exponentially.
His X-Genes mutation to his physical form did more then just allow him to produce radiation, it also made him incredibly resilient to physical forms of damage. The radioactive material his body is comprised of makes the only pain he feels come from his bones and thus bullets aren’t very effective. The material also naturally rebuilds itself meaning that while a bullet would penetrate his body any sign of it being there would be reconstructed. Most bullets won’t get to him though, this is due to his body's heat as the bullet passes through it is melte. Only specific bullets pose a threat to him, even military grade won’t do much. Punches also lead to burned and charred skin and can allow particles to get into the bloodstream which causes an even faster rate of internal decay.
Synthetic SkinAs a precautionary measure to ensure he doesn’t kill the people he wants alive he naturally forces his body to produce minute amounts of radiation. As another precaution he wears a synthetic skin that helps make him more approachable. This skin emits a barrier that repels his bodies radiation thus, while he wears the skin no particles are released into the air. However, because his powers rely on radiation his body's temperature fluctuates with his temper. As he gets angry the stability of his skin become compromised eventually leading to contamination leaks and even full on combustion.
