A side effect of this process was the maximization of his now human/alien genetic structure. Thus, Icon possesses a variety of superhuman abilities that are unusual even for a Terminan. Superhuman strength: Icon possesses superhuman strength that is on par with Superman's. Superspeed and reflexes: Icon possesses the ability to think, move, and react at superhuman speeds. Superhuman stamina: Icon has limitless stamina in all physical activities. Flight: Icon flies by manipulation of gravitons, manipulation of magnetic fields, and utilizing his superhuman speed. Icon can fly far beyond supersonic speeds. Superhuman senses: Icon possesses superhuman sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Enhanced mental perception: Icon possesses the ability to comprehend things on levels far above human capability. Invulnerability: Icon seems to be invulnerable & extremely durable, able to withstand bullets, temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without injury. He can even survive in the vacuum of space. Icon's invulnerability has not been portrayed consistently. If he is not expecting an attack, he can be easily injured. For example, in Icon #2, he sustains a bloody nose from getting hit in the face with the butt of a rifle that surprised him. After being injured by Payback, Icon began wearing alien body armor to grant him further protection. Healing factor: Despite his almost invulnerability, it is possible to injure Icon. If hurt, his body is capable of quickly repairing damaged tissue. Energy generation: Icon has the ability to generate and control a radiant energy based on positrons. He can manipulate this energy for various effects. Concussive force bolts: Icon can release positron energy from his hands as bolts of concussive force. Stun bolts: Icon can project low-energy bolts that render human beings unconscious by disrupting the electrical impulses in their nervous systems. Icon can also use these bolts like an electromagnetic pulse to overload electronic devices. Energy enhanced punches: Icon can focus positron energy into his fists, which he can then use to shatter virtually any substance. Energy pulse: Icon can release all of his body's positron energy as a massive omnidirectional pulse of devastating power. Positron field: Icon can detect the presence of Bang Babies within his vicinity by flooding an area with a field of positrons. The field interacts with the invisible quantum well surrounding a Bang Baby, who then glows as he or she gives off mild gamma particles. Hence, Icon can use these fields to
