The 'gist' of Sebastian's mutant ability:
---
---
---
---
In short: "Shaw is a mutant capable of absorbing almost any amount of energy -- rechanneling it -- and giving it back tenfold." The absorbing of energy is what enables Sebastian to preform most of his 'Übermensch' feats.
Section II: Absorption/Battle/Strength feats
The following absorption and battle feats will be posted in no particular order…
Sebastian shatters one of Selene's inorganic matter constructs:
---
Casually swats Cable aside:
---
Tanks Cannonball's melee, and b*tchslap-KO's him:
---
Annihilates Ch'vayre:
Section II: Absorption/Battle/Strength feats
Physically dominates Colossus:
---
And again:
---
Decapitates Donald Pierce:
Section II: Absorption/Battle/Strength feats
After being pushed out of a ship by Emma Frost, Shaw became significantly more powerful thanks to the kinetic energy he absorbed after hitting the ground:
---
Jumps to incredible heights and shreds through that same ship:
Section II: Absorption/Battle/Strength feats
Shaw vs. Emma Frost (part II):
After being brutalized by Shaw for the majority of the battle, Emma finally wins by projecting an illusion of Shaw killing her into his mind. Doing so gave her the opportunity she needed to gain entrance into his mind, and force him to forget about her.
However, it should be noted that Emma's attempts to telepathically shut down Shaw's mind beforehand were completely ineffectual (as the first and last scans show/state.) That in itself is a ridiculously impressive TP resistance feat on Shaw’s end, considering Emma’s uberness in that area.
Section II: Absorption/Battle/Strength feats
Shaw vs. Magneto:
I'd say Sebastian did quite well against Magneto (better than most would have)- especially considering the entire battlefield was composed of metal.
Section II: Absorption/Battle/Strength feats
'Out-speeds' Nightcrawler:
---
Endures a freezing blizzard manifested by Storm, and owns her and Nightcrawler (2 birds with 1 stone):
---
Even the highly advanced Nimrod recognizes that physical attacks are useless against Sebastian, and proceeds to passively redirect him into space:
(of course Sebastian's re-entry/crash landing back to earth would only serve to empower him.)
---
Shaw utterly shit-stomps Red Lotus:
A few things you might need to add:
There was a scene where Shaw verbally rapes Sabretooth and makes him back off with his tail between his legs.
Also there is a scene where Shaw is said to hit like the Hulk.
And there was also a scene where X-51 scanned Shaw and stated it's physically impossible to beat him or something.
And that 2nd fight with Colossus wan't real, just pointing that out.
Originally posted by juggernaut74Not into posting verbal bashing feats. Thanks though.

Originally posted by juggernaut74Yeah, I realized I forgot to add that in after my 15 minute editing window had expired. 🙁

Regardless, it *should* be fairly obvious that it wasn't the real Sebastian (t'was a projection courtesy of Cassandra Nova.) I mean, Shaw usually never sustains physical damage when he absorbs energy- yet he was bloodied up by a few strikes from Colossus in that scene. 1+1=?
...Not to mention he had effortlessly dominated Colossus years earlier. /shrug
Originally posted by jalek moyeYears ago Shaw could be, and was, overloaded (his battle with Magneto is a good example.) However, judging by the plethora of energy he's absorbed since those days, I think it's safe to assume that overloading him has become significanty more difficult- though it still cannot be ruled out as a possibility, given a powerful enough opponent and/or an incompetent writer.
So I have a question can shaw be overloaded? Or is he just unstoppable by physical damage means?
