Magnificos

Human Disguise:

Unknown to most of the universe, the Crons possess a rare subspecies known as the Monculions. When the Cron Empire began its intergalactic conquest, their first victims were the Monculions—a peaceful people swiftly subjugated.

At the same time, far from the war, an aging scientist on Earth was developing a prototype portal generator to explore the stars. During one of his tests, the machine unexpectedly activated and brought an infant  Monoculion through. Unsure of what to do, the scientist entrusted the child to his son, who ran a small farm with his wife. Upon seeing the couple, the alien infant instinctively took on a human appearance and was adopted as their own.

The boy, named Mason, grew up humble and kindhearted, though shy and with few friends. One day, he stepped in to defend another boy from bullies. In the heat of the moment, his latent powers surged, frightening the attackers away—but also terrifying the very boy he tried to save, who called him a monster.

A few years later, his parents revealed the truth about his origins. Mason accepted it, continuing to cherish them as his true family, eventually inheriting the farm. But as he grew older, he could not ignore those in danger—especially in life-or-death situations. Whenever disaster struck, Mason would assume his Monculion form and intervene. In time, he made a quiet vow: wherever he could help, he would.

Powers:
-Monculion Physiology: Mason's powers come from his alien physiology. The Monculion physiology would seem to be composed of a complex molecular chain that resembles polymer bonds but with the ability to be altered at will. Mason can change his mass, color, relative shape, imitating even clothing if desired. The biopolymer is extremely flexible, durable, incredibly strong for a biological material and apparently self-sustaining. Mason doesn't actually need to eat or drink, but he does enjoy a tasty meal from time to time.
-Superhuman Strength: The Magnificos is one of the strongest beings on the planet. His superhuman strength comes from his plasmorphic structure formed from immensely long and complex moleculer chains, augmented with his psionic and telekinetic abilities allowing him to lift incredible weights without these weights crumbling under the stress.
-Nigh-Invulnerability: The bio-morphic structure of Mason's body allows him to absorb almost all kinetic energies such as high-caliber bullets, shrapnel, or flying debris easily. He can harden his bio-polymers by rebinding them and increase his durability to the point where he is nearly on par with Alex.
-Superhuman Stamina: Mark's endurance is just as formidable as his strength and invulnerability. He can operate under extreme conditions for an indeterminate period of time without showing signs of fatigue. The exact range of this power is unknown.
-Regeneration: Mason's regenerative abilities are so great that he has been able to completely regenerate from nothing but his severed hand, regenerate in moments from nothing more than a puddle of green liquid, and in another instance, survived beheading.
-Flight: The Magnificos flies by manipulation of gravitons (a subatomic particle associated with the force of gravity), manipulation of magnetic fields and control of his moleculer movement (a telekinetic effect). These combined give him the abilty to fly great distances with little fatigue and at great speed.
-Superhuman Speed: Either through flight or natural movement, the Manhunter can maintain speed and reflexes far in excess to that of even most superhumans. Like the power of flight, this is accomplished by manipulating the magnetic fields of energy surrounding his body, as well as ambient gravitational particles. Traditionally, Mason only uses his superhuman speed while flying. He has demonstrated to be nearly as fast as Alex.
-Superhuman Breath: The inner valves and chambers inside the Magnificos air canals are very dense and greatly enhanced, allowing him to create strong hurricane force winds just by exhaling pressurized air from his lungs in an incredibly strong burst.
-Enhanced Senses: Mason possesses nine different senses. One of these senses could account for instances of the Magnificos precognitive abilities.
-Aether Vision: The actual nature of this power seems to vary depending on the reports. Mason can project concentrated beams of Aether for a destructive amount of damage from his eyes. These beams can have a variety of effects including explosion, a concussive force or dispersing. The effect of the beam depends on the user's intent as it has potential to impact an enemy with any applications of Aether. It also grants Mason the ability to see into other spectrums of light. Mason can use his Aether vision to see people and objects that are invisible to others
-Shapeshifting: Arguably one of the most magnificent powers possessed by the Magnificos is the ability to shape-shift. He is able to literally control the molecular structure of his body's biopolymers and manipulate them into any construct he desires, in addition to and including his own body. He can form clothing and weapons with non-moving or non-functioning parts. There does not seem to be any limit to the number of people the Magnificos can imitate and has stood in as a double for many famous people. His ability to imitate people and their mannerisms has stood him in good stead for his disguises. He has recently been seen to shape-shift into the size and shape of a common house fly and to enormous sizes comparable to skyscrapers. He is also able to change colors and turn himself into objects.
-Intangibility: The Magnificos can phase through solid matter. Since it is known that he can alter the density of his biopolymers, it may be that he can simply become less substantial than solid matter, thereby decreasing the molecular density of his body by loosening the bonds within the biopolymers, due to - and further demonstrating - the absolute control he has over them.
-Invisibility: The Magnificos can cause the biopolymers in his body to lose their ability to reflect light, rendering him invisible to normal light and human sight. With more increased concentration, he can render himself completely invisible along the electromagnetic spectrum, including the infrared and the ultraviolet ranges of the spectrum. This invisibily does not affect every other sense and he could still be detected by touch.
-Telepathy: Magnificos is the most powerful telepath on the planet. He is able to read the mind of any human with no difficulties, and the only minds that can cause him trouble are insane minds. He can even read their subconscious mind as well. He can scan the mind of every person on Earth within a matter of moments. He can also read minds over great distances.
-Mind Control: The Magnificos can also control other mind's. Insane minds seem to be the only minds he has some trouble controlling.
-Telepathic Relay: Otherwise known as a telepathic link. As a Class 3 telepath, the Magnificos is able to use his telepathic prowess as a relay station for a group of minds, who can then "speak" to each other through him. This relaying ability seems to be limited to the same range as the Magnificos normal telepathic range.
-Telepathic Assault: Magnificos can also use his telepathic abilities in an offensive manner. He has the ability to cause mental shutdown in a target using his psionic powers. The Magnificos does not use this power often due to the invasive nature and harshness of such a telepathic attack.
-Thought Sensing: Magnificos can use the mental signature of a being to track it, and can detect life forms by their empathic as well as telepathic signatures. He can detect whether a being is intelligent or not, and can communicate with it empathically if it does not have a communicating-driven frame of reference with which normal telepathy may function. He can also detect various states of minds from anywhere in the world.
