    Fighting Ability:

    In his 3000 years on earth he has been a ninja, knight, military intelligence operative, USAF Sergeant Rescue Commando, USAF Colonel, special forces operative, Stormwatch drill master and leader of WildCorps. Due to all this he is considered the best unarmed fighter in Wildstorm.

    Beats Battalion easily in H2H as soon as he stops holding back:

    Toys with a Special Operative before one-shotting her:

    Takes down a super powered human with ease:

    Takes down 3 superpowered brutes with relative ease:

    Slayton also uses stealth a lot in his confrontations and its not uncommon for him to take out the enemy before they even know he's there:

    Misting:

    Backlash's Gen-factor allows him to de-materialize on command rendering him intangible.

    Backlash uses this ability a lot to disappear and take the enemy by surprise:

    Another use is it allows him to escape from situations that would otherwise incapacitate him. Chains, ropes, enemy grasp etc...

    He can also use this ability to infiltrate buildings undetected:

    As he can mist himself on command it can render stabbing weapons useless:

    Backlash's can project his ability onto other people not just himself:

    Marc can also use this ability to enter people's bodies and tear his way out from the inside:

    Durability:

    As a part Kherubim and his Gen-Factor Marc has superhuman durability.

    Survives an explosion:

    Due to his misting Backlash can survive huge falls and explosions without harm:

    Survives being incinerated:

    Survives being sucked into space with no sign of discomfort:

    Strength/Psi Whips:

    Slayton is superhumanly strong and wields a pair of pisonically charged whips that can erupt from his hands.

    Punches through bullet proof glass and destroys a few robots:

    Takes a robot apart with his bare hands:

    Knocks a wall down with his whips:

    His whips are strong enough to 1-shot a military APC and Calobis (deamonite):

    His Whips can be used to restrain people. They were even strong enough to hold Helspont in place briefly:

    Other Abilities:

    Telepath's get a psychic backlash (yay pun) if they attempt to enter his mind:

    Backalsh can send his psionic energy through his whips to incapacitate or kill people:

    No Caption Provided
