Darwin

Darwin's powers and abilities

Darwin is a mutant with an extremely malleable physiology, including:

• Superior Adaptation: Darwin's powers of self-protection offers continuous circumstantial evolution. Darwin is able to adapt to any situation. His reactive mutation adjusts his capabilities to his environment. Examples of such manifestations include receiving functioning gills after being submerged in water, gaining night vision after being in the dark for several seconds, being able to survive without oxygen when in space, his skin becoming fireproof when it is exposed to flames, his body becoming pure energy, his intelligence increasing itself or the understanding of the Shi'ar language by looking at it in written form. However, his powers do not always take the effect he desires. For example, during his fight with the Hulk, his body teleports him away from the battle rather than supplying a power that would allow him to defeat the Hulk.
  
  
• Immortality or Near Immortality: As a byproduct of Darwin's continuous evolution, he may, in fact, be immortal. He can survive indefinitely in harsh conditions and/or without water or nourishment. Darwin even survived Hela's death touch. He also survived 200 years while in the Vault, a location where time moved much more quickly than time in the outside world.
  
  
• Proactive Adaptation: After his battle with Hela, Darwin became able to trigger mutations that could proactively ensure his survival sometimes even by affecting others around him.
  
  
• Death Harbinger: Although many of his death deity adaptations have gone, Darwin still claims to be a death harbinger. Darwin does appear to be able to detect when someone is dying and still carries much of the darkness of Hela with him.
