Powers/Abilities: The Key

History:
(Marvel
Comics Presents II#12/4 (fb) –
BTS) – The Key was a criminal who fled the United States' Superhuman
Registration Act into Canada, where he was apprehended by Omega Flight
and sent
to the CSIS headquarters. While there, his lifeforce and powers were
fed into
the power-absorbing Michael Pointer.
(Marvel
Comics Presents II#12/4 –
BTS) – While confronting Dr. Elizabeth Benning, who had fed Michael
Pointer
Mutant Growth Hormone-enhanced power in order to use him as a weapon,
Michael
Pointer revealed that her confession had been recorded, thanks to
Pointer's use
of the Key's technopathy powers. He then informed her that he would
send all of
the information to Tony Stark within four minutes.
Comments: Created by Rich
Koslowski and Marco
Checchetto.
The
origin of the Key's powers
was not revealed but I choose to believe he was a mutant born with the
powers,
although is equally possible that he was given powers via Mutant Growth
Hormone
or some sort of mutation...
The
Key was never actually seen
in person. He was only seen as a mental projection of his lifeforce
when
Michael Pointer used his powers.
