Nord went back to mercenary work and was petitioned by an unknown intelligence agency to take down Doctor Doom after the Latverian overlord was framed for a terrorist attack by a rogue splinter cell flying his banner. Powers and abilities North's primary mutant power is an ability to absorb the kinetic energy generated by an impact without harm to himself. While there are limits to this power, North can survive falls from tremendous heights, energy blasts, and being struck by superhumanly strong foes without being injured. Upon accepting his first offer to work for the Weapon X Program, North is artificially granted a slight healing factor that allows him to recover from mild to moderate injuries much faster than an average human. It also renders him immune to most diseases and toxins and greatly suppresses his natural aging process. However, after contracting the Legacy Virus, his kinetic absorption ability is dramatically reduced in efficiency and his healing factor burns itself out while fighting the virus. After the virus claims his life and he is resuscitated by Elena Ivanova, the Legacy Virus immediately goes into remission and his kinetic absorption ability mutates. After absorbing energy, North must release the energy in the forms of powerful concussive, AoE (area of effect) or heat blasts. He can also channel the energy into his physical attacks, increasing impact force from his punches and kicks to superhuman levels. After being forced to join the Weapon X Program once again, North's regenerative aspects were restored along with having his kinetic absorption ability artificially tempered. Now, aside from channeling the energy to increase the strength of his physical attacks and discharge ranged blasts of kinetic energy, North's fingertips carry a corrosive enzyme secreted through the skin that carried over into his force discharges. Aside from its acidic properties, the enzyme is specifically designed by the Weapon X Program to counteract the effects of an opponent's self-healing capabilities by reversing the process. The more an enemy's body attempts to fix and/or mend itself from injuries sustained, the worse injuries become thanks to the specialized enzyme. As a side effect of the procedure used to grant him this ability, Agent Zero's body now possesses no discernible scent to track. Currently, North possesses no superhuman powers. Like most of the world's mutant population, North has lost his mutant powers following the events of M-Day. Skills and equipment North is a
