I. Origin

So Vulcan has a very interesting story, His mother and father were abducted by the Shiar, in an attempt to escape Corsair (Gabriel's father) attacked the Emperor D'Ken. As a punishment D'Ken had Gabriel's mother murdered while his father was forced to watch. After she was killed they forcibly removed the yet born child from the womb and took him to the Shiar homeworld. After he arrived there he was put into an incubator until he was of the right age to be used as a slave.

He gained his name Vulcan (named after the Roman god of Fire) after he read a book on Roman mythology.

II. First Appearance

Vulcan's first appearance was in Deadly Genesis #1 where he returns from an exile in space (note I will be posting only his first 2 scans here as the others have more relevance to other sections.)

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20028433/1.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20028436/2.png.html












III. Power Level

Stated by Professor Xavier to be one of the most powerful mutants he has ever encountered.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20029439/1.png.html

In X-Men Deadly Genesis #1 Vulcan is stated to be at least Omega level by Emma Frost.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20028521/3.png.html

Stated to be way past Omega by Rachel Summers. This form of energy he received to bump him up tot his was when he was awoken by a backlash of the energies from M-Day he absorbed.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20030434/1.png.html

Then in X-Men Deadly Genesis #6 he is stated to be Past Omega level by Professor Xavier, making him the only Past Omega level mutant along with Franklin Richards and Absolon Mercator.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20029300/55.png.html












V. Energy Absorption

While fighting Adam Warlock he says his magic is just another form of energy and absorbs it from him.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20029476/4.jpg.html

Absorbs an Electron Manipulating blast from Black Bolt.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20029477/205e68f6a1450aeb8650c81de336cc3f.png.html

Absorbs a huge amount of energy from the Eldest, who according to Vulcan's words was powered by his entire species.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20029838/11.png.html












VI. Telekinesis

Vulcan used a form of quasi-telekinesis by solidifying his energy to lift and move objects.

Uses TK to remove Rachel Summers from her bonds.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031008/1.png.html

Uses his TK to guide a plane into Banshee which kills him.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031014/4.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031024/5.png.html

Uses his TK to shut down 3 Shiar warship's power sources.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031026/12.png.html

Uses TK to hold Wolverine in the air.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031027/23.png.html

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031319/21.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031321/22.png.html

Vulcan using energy to make himself fly even faster.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031324/23.png.html












VIII. Energy Detection

Can sense the power cells of 3 Shiar vessels.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20031397/9.png.html












IX. Healing

Vulcan doesn't have a healing factor in the same sense that Wolverine or Deadpool does. But rather he uses his energy to heal himself.

On this occasion he is blasted by a full on scream from Black Bolt at close range. He is stripped of his skin but he quickly recovers stating that Black Bolt can't kill him as he can just rebuild himself.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034765/7.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034826/2.png.html

Havok who is powered by the energy of a star (after absorbing the energy of Hodinn) proceeds to attack Vulcan who shows hardly any visible signs of damage to his body, whether he was healing while this was happening or it was just his durability I am not sure. But I thought it was a good set of scans to show.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034759/6.png.html

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034774/10.png.html












X. Power Supression

Vulcan also had the ability to suppress mutagenic auras thereby negating a mutants powers. He used this ability to disable Cyclops and Rachel Grey's abilities. Rachel states that her power was coming back after some time. But it's revealed Vulcan done this specifically so he could siphon her mind reading power. Note if it was wearing out Cyclops would have killed Rachel by now.

XI. Fights

Now one of the bets parts about Vulcan, his fights. Hope you enjoy. Note I will be placing them in chronological order so you get an idea of how Vulcan evolved as a character over time.

Vulcan vs Cyclops and Wolverine.

Vulcan shows some notable abilities here. Namely being able to manipulate the energy of Cyclops's blast shut down the nerves in Wolverines body and states that he shut off the signals in Rachel Summers brain for a few seconds.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034969/6.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034971/7.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034973/8.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20034975/9.png.html

Vulcan vs a Sentinel.

Defeats the Sentinel easily and ends the life of it's operator.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035130/3.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035142/4.png.html

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035152/7.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035156/8.png.html

Vulcan vs X-Men (Wolverine, Colossus, Katherine Pryde and Cyclops)

This wasn't really a fight as such as Vulcan wasn't trying to attack them but it is a good scene to show for Vulcan.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035335/18.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035341/19.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035344/20.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20035347/21.png.html

(I reached text limit here so I am continuing in the next post)

Note I will be sure to say when I am finished with the thread.

Vulcan vs members of the Shiar Imperial Guard plus Gladiator.

This is actually a good fight to showcase one of Vulcan's weaknesses, the fact that he is stubborn and very hot headed. Halfway through the fight we have Cosmo and Neutron who begin to absorb his power, and with Vulcan if he expends too much of his power he becomes weaker. So when he has had some of his energy absorbed he still challenges Gladiator, attacking him in a weakened state. Which allows Gladiator to inflict the injury that left Vulcan with the scar on his eye.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036029/1.png.html

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036056/8.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036057/9.png.html

Vulcan and the Shiar Imperial Guard vs the Uncanny X-Men.

Vulcan at the start blocks an attack from Havok then as he is distracted by Rachel Summers after she manipulated his energy blast. Polaris uses this time to effectively crush the majority of Vulcan's insides. Severely weakening him.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036665/5.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036670/6.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036674/7.png.html

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036685/10.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036690/11.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036695/12.png.html

Vulcan and Gladiator vs the Eldest.

The Eldest was a supremely powerful being who was powered by his entire species. He was virtually impervious to harm as shown in this battle. Vulcan later on discovered his source of power as shown in my energy absorption section.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036874/1.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036875/2.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036877/3.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036878/4.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036879/5.png.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036880/6.png.html

Vulcan, Havok and Gladiator vs the Eldest round 2.

This time with all of them together this helps Vulcan a bit. As Vulcan isn't the thinking type and usually goes head on. With 3 of them fighting the Eldest this gives Havok the time to analyse that the Eldest is powered by a form of energy. An energy that Vulcan swiftly removes from him.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20036953/12.png.html

Vulcan vs Havok.

On this occasion Havok is at one of his most powerful levels. He in his words dropped himself into a star. He attacks Vulcan with this said power and Vulcan appears to show no physical damage from it. Havok says he is about to kill Gabriel but whether he would have actually died from another hit is not known.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20037011/9.png.html

Vulcan and the Shiar Imperial Guard vs the Starjammers.

This is the same battle in which Havok absorbed the energy from Hodinn to attack Vulcan with except from this is the whole fight.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20037078/10.png.html

Vulcan vs Adam Warlock.

Now this is one of my favourite fights from Vulcan. This is an interesting fight because we get a new dimension to Vulcan absorption ability. We now discover that to him magic is just another form of energy and then he proceeds to absorb Warlock of his power. The next scan that follows shows a briefing given by Warlock saying that Vulcan absorbed so much of his power that he had no choice but to evade him.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/20037149/9.png.html

Vulcan vs Black Bolt.

Now is the time for Vulcan's final fight in his life (if he did die that is). This fight actually is very impressive for Vulcan. Although he gets hit by what looks like a very powerful scream from Black Bolt he still managed to rise up from it. Overall another brilliant battle.

So I just wanted to say thanks for whoever viewed this thread and enjoyed it. The next category I am adding will be a mix up of various energy blasts Vulan has done and other miscellaneous feats that couldn't really be categorized. I will be putting all these images in now.

So for all intents and purposes this respect thread is finished. Hope everyone enjoyed it.

Yeah there was a What If where the battle on Krakoa turned out different. I wasn't sure whether non canon was allowed on threads or not. Do what ifs count as non canon?

Yes, they are non canon BUT you can still post them in a respect thread if you want and if you write that it is a What if, no one should complain. ^^

Thanks Leonidas. Glad you liked it.

Again nice job. I never heard of way past Omega as a classification lol.

Great job!
Keep them respect thread coming...313

Great job with the thread. I had completely forgotten about his and Adam Warlock's fight.

The omega+ thing was just nonsense by the way.

Omega is simply a definition for unlimited potential. It has nothing to do with powerlevel, it was just Brubaker talking out of his ass, as always

Ah okay I only got it from the Marvel wiki.

Him, Absolon and Franklin Richards are apparently on there.

Glad you liked the thread.
