Exodus' powers
Powers: Bennet du Paris is a mutant possessing vast psionic powers. His true level of power is as yet unknown but he may potentially be an Omega and if not is an extremely strong Alpha level. Currently he ranks amongst the most powerful mutants known to exist. He is limited only by his level of control which weakens dramatically if using his full level of power. Hence he keeps himself to certain limits, unlikely to go beyond these in any circumstances.
When using any degree of psionic ability Bennet's eyes glow, typically yellow through to white. The intensity of the glow is directly proportial to the level of power he is exerting. Also when exerting strong amounts of energy he has a tendency to be surrounded by a visible aura of psionic energy, varying in hue from white, yellow to purple. A static humming noise and a smell of ozone will also frequently accompany him at these times.
His basic capabilities are as follows.
Basic Telepathy: Like most telepaths Bennet is capable of reading thoughts and communicating telepathically. His range for this is around 5000 miles. He is also capable of shielding his mind and his mental barriers are impenetrable to all but a few telepaths. In terms of power he ranks amongst the very strongest and his level of skill is high.
Mental Control: One area of telepathy with which he shows excellent skill is the various forms of mind control. The limit on his number of targets seems to be around a hundred, the level of control exerted increasing greatly as the number of individuals lessens. The length of time control is exerted also increases with the fewer individuals he attempts to control. Only the strongest wills and the most disciplined minds are capable of resisting his commands and only the strongest shields keep him out. He is capable of projecting thoughts and emotions, making them seems as though they are the individuals own and thus causing them to act accordingly. He can create strong suggestions within a person's mind for them to perform a certain act or deed. He is capable of rewriting an individual's memories, altering, editing or adding to them as he sees fit. He is even capable of exerting control over a person's motor functions essentially making them his puppet.
Illusions: Another aspect of his telepathy is the creation of extremely realistic multi-sensory illusions. He can cause others to see, hear, smell, touch and taste things which aren't really there. He can also cause others to see, hear, smell, touch and taste things in ways they could not do so naturally. He can for instance illusionarily disguise himself as another person or even seem invisible. He is also capable of telepathically projecting his illusions straight into another person's mind making them seem that much more realistic.
Mental Force Blasts: He can focus his telepathic ability to form bolts of pure mental force. Directing these telepathic assaults against a living mind he's capable of a variety of effects from breaching mental shields, inflicting severe pain, inducing unconsciousness or even killing or rendering comatose a person. Those with sufficiently strong psychic shields or willpower can resist these assaults however.
Telekinesis: As with his telepathic abilities, Bennet's telekinetic ability is extremely powerful. He ranks amongst the strongest on the planet in the terms of this ability. The upper limit of his lifting ability is uncertain but he has lifted upwards of a hundred tons for a short period. His practical limit seems to be lifting around fifty tons which he can mantain indefinitely.
Like some telekinetics he can use his power to levitate himself and he can also achieve flight with a maximum speed of around 770 miles per hour.
He also has the ability to manipulate matter on a molecular level. Through intense concentration he can shift molecules, warping the shapes of objects into new configurations or disintregating matter. By speeding up the flow of molecules he is also able to achieve pyrokinesis.
Force Fields: Bennet has the ability to create telekinetic force-fields for a variety of purposes. His basic defensive force-field can vary in radius from one inch to about fifty foot. He can mantain a force-field indefinitely though he needs a certain minimum level of concentration to do so. His force-fields are nearly impenetrable to most forms of kinetic or energy attack, although repeated assault will eventually cause them to drop and they can be overwhelmed by a single attack of sufficient power.
He can also create force-fields at any range within his line of sight, around other objects or people, for example to protect or capture them. These force-fields are shorter-lived, lasting for a maximum period of one hour.
He can also create an offensive force-field. This manifests itself as an ever-expanding wall of pure telekinetic energy, delivering a concussive force of around 100 tons on impact. The field will continue expanding so long as he applies his total concentration and will dissipate immediately should his concentration be disrupted.
Psionic Blasts: Exodus can focus his telekinetic ability to create blasts of pure psionic energy. These energy blasts are typically projected from his eyes and hands. He can create pure concussive force beams or explosive pyroplasmic blasts of heat energy.
Teleportation: Exodus can teleport himself or others over nearly global distances. He must have either the intended location in his line of sight or be able to mentally visualise it. The former is almost instantaneous but the latter can take several seconds. The process of teleporting requires his full concentration and if transporting others requires that he be in telepathic contact with them. In all it can take up to ten seconds to prepare the teleportation process. A blinding flash of white light and a static hum accompany the teleportation. It is believed his teleportation works through some combination of his telepathic and telekinetic abilities. The most likely theory is that he temporarily dissipates the molecular structure of the subjects and transports them via some extradimensional plane, most likely the Astral Plane.
Weaknesses: When exerting his power to it's fullest extent his control over it is drastically weakened. It's very easy for his power to then rage out of control making it very dangerous to himself and everything around him.
He is an exceedingly arrogant and overconfident individual. He can easily underestimate other mutants and humans and can also not fully comprehend the danger of a situation until it's too late. Also he's not always the best of team-players and this can have occasional problems working with others.
Bennet greatly fears being imprisoned or otherwise helpless in any way. In such a situation he could easily panic or possibly even suffer a complete nervous breakdown.
Flight: As a powerful telekinetic Bennet has the capability of flight.
Most of them i've seen him do, but teleportation and a few other i haven't actually seen him do, so they might be a bit over the top.
Got that info from Here

Hmm that's weird. It doesn't say anything about him being a psionic vampire. He can steal psionic energy from other telepaths - and I think he can steal life force in general too.
I was wondering the same thing. I was also wondering when he displayed the power of teleportation 😬
