Powers;
Brian is superhumanly strong, able to lift 90 tons, and possesses enhanced reflexes, stamina and senses (sufficient to pierce holograms, but not on a par with Wolverine). He can also fly up to 770 mph for prolonged periods. He derives his energies from the friction between dimensions, focused in a matrix centered on the U.K., and formerly needed his costume to focus his powers and provide a battery when outside the U.K.; however he may have alleviated this weakness when he briefly severed his mystic connection to the U.K. to empower Kelsey Leigh. As Britannic, he had prophetic visions, tied to memories of experiencing all history while lost in the timeline. He is apparently immune to his sister's psionic powers, though not his elder brother's reality warping abilities.
Abilities;
Brian is a skilled physicist, engineer, roboticist and acrobat.
Weapons;
None
Paraphernalia;Brian's later costumes acted as batteries (storing matrix energy when away from the field) and lens, magnifying impulses and energy fields of the human body, so that he could use his powers in low energy areas. It also allowed him to generate a forcefield, capable of blocking both physical force and energy; at various points in his career, Brian could also extend this forcefield to use as a weapon. His helmet acted as a control, extending his functions into superhuman range; keyed to Brian's specific brain patterns, he could control from a distance the movements of another wearing his costume.
In his original costume Brian wielded a quarterstaff which could extend several feet at press of a button, or project a force-field or flames. This was later replaced with his Star Sceptre, which added the power of flight (for a limited period) to the above.
