Powers and abilities
Michael is a Feral which means he has had his DNA spliced with animal DNA resulting in either physical or mental characteristics of the animal.

Ursine Physiology: Michael possesses Ursine characteristics, granting him enhanced physical abilities that are well beyond normal human capability. As a result, his strength, senses, instincts and metabolism function in a far greater capacity than normal humans. When using his abilities, his eyes sometimes take on a glowing red bear-like appearance. Due to his height, he is often very tall. Michael is quite solitary which often disagrees with his human side which craves human interaction. Like Feline and Canine Ferals, Michael is extremely territorial.

 * Enhanced Speed: Michael's speed is superior, allowing him to move and run much faster than normal human beings.
 * Claws: Michael possesses razor-sharp claws which he uses as weapons to fight his enemies. His claws are virused which means it only infects Feral New Mutants like Shalimar Fox who he clawed on her stomach during their fight which infected her.
