WAR

 


WAR

Real Name: Abraham Lincoln Kieros
First Appearance: X-Factor (Vol. 1) #11, November 1986

Powers: War was born with the mutant power to create explosions in his immediate vicinity by clapping his hands. His power operates by harnessing the minor kinetic energy created when his hands strike each other, amplifying it to a significant degree, and redirecting it spatially so that it strikes and affects any object within his line-of-sight, causing an explosive release of force.

Kieros was
originally a soldier in the United States Army who sustained injuries during battle which left him paralyzed from the neck down and confined to an iron lung mechanical respirator. The mutant known as Apocalypse modified him into one of his Four Horsemen created a suit of armor which restored his mobility and scattered energy beams directed at it. and could only move thanks to his Horseman armor.

At an unrevealed point, he lost his Horseman powers and gear. Without the armor to support his broken body, he became completely paralyzed again and even lost the ability to speak. However, the mutant named Archangel used his short-lived light powers to heal Kieros's broken body.
