SENYAKA

Real Name: Suvik Senyaka

First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #300, May 1993

Powers: Senyaka possesses the mutant power to siphon the life-energy of other living beings, converting it into stores of biological power. Energy he absorbs can rapidly increase his regenerative abilities, even bringing him back from the brink of death. It also temporarily boosts his strength, agility, endurance, and reflexes to a variable degree based on the amount of stolen energy in his system.

When he has an excess of energy in his system, Senyaka can transform it into psionic whips manifested from the palms of his hands. These whips are made of tangible psychokinetic energy conducting bio-electricity through their coils. Senyaka can form the whips at various lengths and their lashing and coiling responds to his mental commands. He can use the whips as a conduit for his energy-leeching ability, greatly extending his reach. The bio-electricity produced by the whips caused them to sear into human flesh, as well as producing immense pain and a paralyzing effect on his opponents. The whips will de-materialize after they leave his grasp, but if they are somehow cut or severed, the feedback can render him temporarily unconscious.
