Superhero of the universe "Marvel" Havok

In this article we will talk about one of the characters of the universe "Marvel". Havoc is a mutant superhero, part of the X-men team. The character is known mainly to fans of comics and cartoons, based on comic books. On the big screen, like all the famous Wolverine, Cyclops or Magneto, he did not appear.

brief information

For the first time this character appeared in the X-men comic book series, number 54. It was in the distant 1969. But even then the hero got the canonical appearance and character. Havok was always portrayed as a tall blond man with brown eyes, acting on the side of good.

History

Alexander Summers is the youngest child in the family and the brother of Sott Summer (Cyclops). His father served in the US Air Force as a test pilot. Once he piloted a private plane, in which his family also flew. At that moment they were attacked by the ship Shiar. There was only one parachute on board. The mother of the boys fixed it so that both were saved. So the brothers survived the catastrophe. However, with the fall, Scott was seriously injured and sent to a shelter, and Alexa was adopted by the Blanding family, who recently lost Tod's own child.

For the first time, Alex's abilities were manifested at the moment when he was attacked by a man guilty of Tod's death. Summers could not control his strength, and the attacker died. However, at this point, Alex was under the control of Sinister, so no memories of the deed he had left. He also did not know about his supernatural abilities.

The revealed truth

Like many heroes of the studio "Marvel", Havok for a long time did not know about his abilities. While studying in college, one of Alex's teachers was Azmet Abdol, who is also a mutant. He soon realized that there was an extrasensory connection between him and the young man. They were also united by the similarity of abilities - they both could absorb cosmic radiation. However, Alex, without knowing it himself, suppressed Ahmet's strength. Soon the professor ran away from college, kidnapping several students, among whom was our hero.

The abductees were in the laboratory of Ahmet. Here, among other things, he managed to block Alex's ability to absorb radiation, thereby depriving the young man of the ability to restrain someone else's power. Then only the true power of Azmet was manifested. His incredible powers soon attracted the attention of Professor X (Charles Xavier). Soon the X-Men appeared in the laboratory of the professor and defeated him, releasing the prisoners. Then only Alex after years of separation could meet his older brother Scott, who studied with Xavier.

X-Men

This team of mutants - one of the most popular brainchild of the studio "Marvel". Havok, however, was never a regular member of the team, but occasionally worked with the X-Men.

So, being free, Alex decided not to return to people and stay in the desert, because he has not yet learned to keep his abilities under control. Although he was invited to go to the school for mutants Xavier.

But far from civilization, Alex did not find peace. He was found and captured by the Guardian (robot to catch mutants), after which the young man was in the hands of Lary Trask. Trask gave Alex his codename Havok, and the scientist also came up with a special suit that helped control the level of radiation in the body.

However, soon the X-Men discovered and destroyed the Trask laboratory, and all the prisoners were released. Alex, who kept a special costume, decides this time to join the X-Men. In Xavier's school, Summers was taught to control his powers, which helped him to uncover his considerable potential.

Havoc and Polaris

Living in Xavier's school, Alexa fell in love with Lorna Dane (another X mutant). Her code name was Polaris. Together they worked with the X-Men, helping them to fight the villains, and they also participated in the prevention of invasion by extraterrestrials Znors.

However, neither Alex, nor his lover was going to bind his whole life with the team. They wanted a more normal and quiet life. Soon they discovered a common passion - geophysics. Together they took up the study of this science in the West of America. Soon Polaris and Havok left the team.

Unfulfilled dreams

But life did not turn out to be an ordinary life, as often happens in the comics "Marvel". Havoc and Polaris during the research were attacked by Marauders. The girl took control of Malice, a mutant with strong mental abilities, and then moved into her body. Alex had to escape, abandoning his lover.

Havok needed help and turned to the X-Men for her. However, by that time the composition of the team had changed. Therefore, Alex first had to convince mutants of his sincerity, and then long argue about the chosen strategy.

Temporarily, Havok joined the X-Men and worked with them for a while. At the same time, the team tried to track the location of the Marauder base. On one of the missions mutants managed to collide with a long-sought enemy. Alex had to enter into battle with Polaris. However, at the moment of the battle, Zloba lost control over the girl's consciousness, thereby releasing her. Having achieved his goal, the liberation of the Polaris, Havok again left the X-men team.

Abilities

Now let's talk about the forces that are given to Havok (Marvel Comics).

First of all, it is his ability to absorb cosmic energy and to process it in his body into plasma, which gives the mutant an incredible destructive power. And the process of absorption continues constantly, therefore from time to time it is just necessary for him to splash his strength. Havoc can also absorb star energy, X-rays and gamma radiation.

Alex releases his energy in the form of a plasma, which takes the form of explosions or shots. The object attacked by Havoc can decay into atoms, explode or melt. When the forces of the mutant are at an end, the plasma can only cause a strong headache in the attacker.

Also Havok is endowed with:

• Free to fly - for this he uses the absorbed energy.
• It has immunity to radiation and overheating.

Weaknesses

Havoc, like any mutant X, has its weaknesses. First of all, this is his weak ability to control. Even after years of training, Alex is not always able to keep his strength. In addition, Havoc's abilities do not work on Cyclops, in turn, Alex is also immune to the strength of his brother.
