Powers:
Alloy is a Reactor--that is, possess kinetic powers due to an inherited genetic mutation. As his nickname suggests, his power is ferrokinesis: metal manipulation.

Abilities:
Transformation: Upon activating his powers, in whole or in part, his body turns into an extremely tough metal, whose composition is known only to him. During a full transformation, his hands and feet become sharp metal claws; his elbows, knees, and hair become sharp metal spikes; and his facial features are replaced by beveled imprints (see reference above). This metal body is light enough for him to move freely in while vastly increasing both his strength and damage resistance—enough to crush steel, block/bend swords, deflect bullets, and break through walls with his bare hands. He can also self-repair minor injuries such as cuts, dents, scratches, and small fractures. Alloy can hold this form for very long periods of times—for days, even.. This form is what the public knows to be “Alloy”.

Transmutation: By making direct contact with other inorganic materials, he can transmute objects into metal similar in compound to that of his body.

Manipulation: After transmuting materials into metal, he can shape and manipulate them at will: be it erecting spikes, walls, and/or pillars; crafting makeshift weapons such as swords, spears, and daggers; or trapping his opponents with metal domes, whips, etc. These transmutations, which can be destroyed and/or reverted back to its original form as Alloy pleases, have similar composition to Alloy's metal body. 

State changing: Both his metal body and his transmutations can revert from solid to liquid states at will.*

Strengths:

• Fighting experience
• High level of control over his powers
• Surprisingly high athleticism for his age
• Quick-wittedness and tactical prowess
• Balanced fighting style at all ranges
• Physical Durability
• Deceptively high level of strength

Weaknesses*:

• Limitations of his powers:
  • High energy consumption for massive transmutations
  • High energy consumption for self-repairing
  • Temperature weakness. Despite its high melting point, Alloy’s metal is softened at extreme temperatures. He can still manipulate molten metal, yet it can severely damage him since he has to make contact with it.
  • Large caliber, high velocity projectiles (such as sniper rifles or comparable)
  • Vulnerability in liquid state
• Lower fighting stamina due to age*
• Recklessness when severely agitated

  • Volt: A noisy, goofy troublemaker he has to discipline often. Can’t to stay too mad at him, though.
• His own family

• The general public
