Powers Avalanche is a mutant with the superhuman ability to generate powerful waves of vibrations from his hands, creating highly destructive effects. The vibrations can cause an inorganic object to shatter or crumble into dust. When directed against large objects, like buildings or upon the earth itself, the vibrations can produce effects similar to those of an earthquake or an avalanche within a limited area. Avalanche can cause the ground to move like a tidal wave and ride it for quick transportation. He need not touch an object to affect it; he can direct the vibrations against it from some distance away. Avalanche is himself immune to the effects of generating these intense vibratory waves. However, if the vibrations were to be reflected back upon him, he would be injured. Moreover, Avalanche's power has little or no effect on organic tissue. Attempting to use his power on such tissue results in a feedback effect that can shatter the bones in Avalanche's arms. As yet there is no known limit to the amount of area upon which Avalanche can use his powers at a given time. However, there is no evidence that he could create an earthquake capable of destroying an entire city.
