Strength Level: Maelstrom possesses slight superhuman strength, deriving from his unique Inhuman/Deviant heritage. Maelstrom can lift (press) approximately 1 ton. When his body is enhanced by biokinetic energy, Maelstrom can augment his physical strength. The amount of biokinetic energy he siphons determines how much physical strength he can manifest. Theoretically, there is no upper limit to his strength providing he can draw upon a sufficiently powerful source of kinetic energy.

Known Superhuman Powers: Maelstrom possesses the traditional attributes of the Inhuman race as well as the ability to siphon and control all forms of kinetic energy, the energy of motion. Half Inhuman, Maelstrom's physiology is about twice as strong, durable, and long-lived as that of the average human male.

Maelstrom's major ability is the Terrigen derived capacity to mentally manipulate all forms of kinetic energy and transform it into physical strength. This process, the nature of which is unknown, involves a body-wide interaction with kinetic energy from any ambient source. While Maelstrom can derive power from the motion of a single, room-temperature neutron, it is not yet known what the largest source of kinetic energy is that he can tap, or how much energy he can synthesize for use at the same time. He frequently uses the power of his opponents to energize himself. Once energized, he can direct kinetic energy in great storms of force. His body constantly absorbs kinetic energy and translates it into a bioluminescent plume of force which whirls around his body. Its rate of motion is often affected by his mood, while its depth (volume) is a function of the amount of energy he has synthesized for use. He controls the amount of energy he synthesizes over his body's minimum capacity by force of will.

Limitations: At present, the limits of Maelstrom's power to biologically synthesize kinetic energy is unknown. In order to siphon the power of the Uni-Mind (containing the combined kinetic energy of over a thousand Eternals,), he was required to augment his natural abilities with a mechanism of his own devising.

Anything Sinestro does will cause kinetic energy. Sinestro pounds him with a huge yellow hammer, he absorbs the impact. Sinestro blasts him, he absorbs the impact making himself stronger. Wrap him in a bubble? He easily broke out of Quasar's, what makes you think he can't break out of Sinestro's? Sinestro's best bet? Runaway.

Maelstrom takes it. He took Quasar down, even cut his friggin hands off. Sinestro won't be flying at FTL speeds or blasting Melstrom when his blood stops flowing to his brain.

I said that IF Sin make constructs, Maelstrom could absorb.

How can he absorb light plasma blasts? Thats not kinetic.

You say he absorbs the impact? So then he has the powers of Bishop AND Strong Guy?

If all else fails, mind control.

Maestrom controls blood flow? Doesnt he have to be in contact to do that?
