KARNAK

Real Name: Karnak Mander-Azur

First Appearance: Fantastic Four (Vol. 1) #45, December 1965

Powers: Karnak the Shatterer is an Inhuman (Homo sapiens inanthropo), a genetically engineered human offshoot created by the Kree to possess heightened strength, speed, agility, endurance, and reaction time, roughly 50% greater than humans.

Though he was not exposed to the Terrigen Mists, though meditation and intensive training he developed the extrasensory ability to hone in on stress fractures or pressure points found on people or objects. By detecting these flaws, Karnak is capable of striking blows that will topple and cripple superhuman opponents more than 100 times stronger than he, and shattering substances made of considerable durability, up to and including mild steel.

He has an unusually high cranium and worked hard to build up calluses on his hands so that he can strike without feeling pain. Karnak is also capable of mentally influencing his autonomic body processes. This includes his heart rate, breathing rate, sensitivity to pain, healing ability, etc. Through concentration, he is able to slow or speed up any of these factors.
