Ikon (Heroes Uprising)

These powers..this hunger, when I gave into it, I was a powerful force, but Milo acsended beyond me, because he is not like the rest of us, his power is pure it's true. But I don't give a rats ass, about it's purity, or the truth to it. I will no longer be linked to people like comrades, in a way that ignorant fool is more intelligent to power. Risking my life for others ppft it is foolish, the only true way to power is to take it wherever I get to continue to acculate it and THAT is what I will do, none will stop my Pursuit of Power..
-Ikon Iltore

Name: Ikon Iltore
Codename: Zulan
Alias: Principle I, Z, Intuitive
Age:: 29
Height: 6.1
Weight: 185 lbs
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Identity: Secret
Species: Homo-Superior
Race: Caucasian
Personality:
Ikon, or Zulan as he was know, was and still remains an individual with no qualms about killing other human beings. However, arguments can be made he no longer actively enjoys doing these things as he once did, and if anything he is trying his best to regain some sense of humanity and be worth something to society.
Perhaps his resurrection and persecution by HAMMER opened his eyes somewhat, and he is now on the road to redemption.
Ikon was not always as he started in the story. Once a hero deep down, he attempted to stop what he came to know as the Power Nemesis, as both him and his father had connections to the Hunters. However, his power slowly corroded him, and his hunger for more abilities lead to him becoming a ruthless killer who actively enjoyed causing pain to others.
Him and Milo share a great rivalry that dates back to their first fight in DC, and perhaps as a result they came to respect each other greatly.

Due to joining the Agency, and the Government he's a master of armed, and unarmed combat. He's a skilled tactician, and a master of setting up plans to take down enemies more powerful then him. He's a master of tracking down others, and evading capture.

Powers:
Zulan is an omega level mutant and possibly one of the strongest beings in the universe. He's one of the few beings able to fight Milo on an even ground.

Intuitive Aptitude. He can instinctively understand and manipulate the workings of a complex system. For systems that he already understands (like watches), he can detect and identify flaws in the mechanism with only a cursory inspection.He uses this skill to analyze his victims brains and steal their powers. Zulan does not need to kill someone to gain their ability. However, a physical study of the victim's brain requires direct observation necessitating the removal of the upper part of the skull, so the victim soon dies of blood loss and trauma. His recent ability X-ray Vision allows him to study the brain without physically removing it. However, he's still prone to murder.
Victims with rapid cellular regeneration, however, can survive this by repairing the damage. Zulan has demonstrated that can also "emphatically" copy abilities without injuring the source.
Zulan can also detect some medical conditions, such as someone's aneurysm or brain tumor. He had enough knowledge about it to remove someone's aneurysm without hurting them.
A side effect of his power is the "hunger". In his case, the "hunger" manifests itself in the need for more powers.

He sought out Islam to further peace not wanting to return to physiology with Dracarot, and did not remain starting to develop his own form of religious schizophrenia to satisfy his lust for power.
