Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Powers

Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Durability
Resurrection: Despite his superhuman toughness, it was possible to kill John Tower. However, upon his death, Tower's body would begin to repair the fatal damage he suffered so that he would revive days later. There were limits to how much damage Tower's body could be healed from through this process. When Tower returned to life after being killed by Holocaust, Tower still bore the horrible scars he suffered from the crimelord's pyrokinetic attack.
Decelerated Aging: John Tower aged a slower rate than a normal human being. Thus, though he was around 90 years old, he physically resembled a man in his early forties.
Total Recall

Q-Juice Siphon: Exposure to Bang Baby blood altered John Tower in a form more powerful than what he originally possessed. His mutated physiology enabled him to absorb the powers of any Bang Baby by ingesting his or her blood. Tower later created a serum made from Bang Baby blood that enabled his body to more quickly and efficiently acquire the power of his victims.

At the height of his power, John Tower displayed the following abilities:

* Energy Projection: John Tower could project beams of destructive energy from his hands and eyes.  At least with his optic blasts, Tower could cause his energy beams to change direction, thus making it harder for opponents to evade them.
* Teleportation:  John Tower could teleport himself or others over great distances.
* Superhuman Strength Beyond what he normally possessed.
* Superhuman Speed
* Superhuman Agility
* Superhuman Reflexes
* Superhuman Durability Beyond what he normally possessed
* Telekinesis
* Pyrokinesis
* Flight
* Superhuman Equilibrium
* Weather Manipulation
* Shape-Shifting
* Time Travel
* Accelerated Healing
* Invisibility
* Intangibility
* Energy Manipulation
* Matter Manipulation

Strength level

John Tower possessed superhuman strength. He could increase his strength to a potentially incalculable degree by ingesting the blood of Bang Babies who were superhumanly strong.

Weaknesses

Q-Juice Withdrawal: If John did not regularly drink his Bang Baby blood serum, he went into power withdrawal. As a result, his power level would quickly diminish to their normal though still superhuman levels. Thus, Tower refreshed his maximum power level every day.

ParaphernaliaEdit

Transportation

Self generated flight, super speed, or teleportation powers stolen from his victims.

Weapons

During his crimefighting days, John Tower wielded a nightstick.
