Explaining Cal's powers

Melee attack:

Sorting rotors accelerate calcium ion concentration in the sarcoplasmic

reticulum, increasing Cal's muscle speed several-fold and multiplying the

damage he inflicts in melee combat

Super strength:

Muscle strength is amplified with ionic polymeric gel myofibrils that allow

Cal to push and lift extraordinarily heavy objects.

Ballistic protection:

Monomolecular plates reinforce the skin epithelial membrane, reducing the

damage Cal receives from projectiles and bladed weapons.

Speed enhancement:

Ionic polymeric gel myofibrils are woven into the leg muscles, increasing

the speed at which Cal can run and climb, the height he can jump, and

reducing the damage he receives from falling.

Environmental resistances:

Induced keratin productions strengthen all epithelial tissues and reduce Cal's vulnerability to radiation and other toxins.

Regeneration:

Programmable polymerase automatically directs construction of proteins in

injured cells, restoring Cal to full health over time.

Cloak:

Subdermal pigmentation cells allow Cal to blend with his surrounding

environment, rendering him effectively invisible to observation by organic

hostiles.

Synthetic heart:

This synthetic heart circulates not only blood but a steady concentration of

mechanochemical power cells, smart phagocytes, and liposomes containing

prefab diamondoid machine parts, resulting in upgraded performance for all

installed augmentations.

Targeting:

Image-scaling and recognition provided by multiplexing the optic nerve with

doped polyacetylene ‘quantum wires’ not only increases accuracy, but also

delivers limited situational info about a target.

Spy drone:

Advanced nanofactories can assemble a spy drone upon demand which can then

be remotely controlled by Cal until released or destroyed, at which a

point a new drone will be assembled, further upgrades equip the spy drones

with better armor and a one-shot EMP attack.

IFF:

Automatic friend or foe identification uses advanced heuristic algorithms to

associate visible objects with known threat categories.

Light:

Bioluminescent cells within the retina provide coherent illumination of Cal's field of view.

Remote detonator:

Aerosol nanoparticles are released upon detection of objects fitting the

electromagnetic threat profile of missiles and grenades; those nanoparticles

will prematurely detonate such objects prior to reaching the user.

Radar transparency:

Radar absorbent resin augments epithelial proteins. It provides highly effective concealment from automated detection systems – bots, cameras, turrets.

Vision enhancement:

By bleaching selected rod photoreceptors and saturating them with

metarhodopsin XII, the “nightvision” present in most nocturnal animals can

be duplicated. Subsequent upgrades and modifications add infravision and

sonar-resonance imaging that effectively allows Cal to see through walls.

Power Recirculator:

Power consumption for all augmentations is reduced by polyanilene circuits

plugged directly onto cell membranes that allow nantite particles to

interconnect electronically without leaving their host cells.

Run Silent:

The necessary muscle movements for complete silence when walking or running

are determined continuously with reactive kinematics equations produced by

embedded nanocomputers.

Yeah... he's intense

Let's compare Cal

-Cal Kingsley's super strength matches that of Rogue.

-His intelligence can be compared to Beasts although Cal is not as good a linguist.

-Cal can be mind controlled but is working on a bionic implant that can interfere with cranial disturbances.

-Cal's speed can nearly match Quicksilver's.

-Cal's cloaking does not render him invisible but matches Predators cloaking ability instead.

-Cal regenerates as fast as Deadpool.

-Cal's agility is parallel to Gambit's.

-Cal's invulnerability is as mighty as Strong Guy's

Quite a formidable adversary!

Keep in mind that Cal Kingsley's powers are from when he's in Ultimate Universe form. Originally, he did not hold such enhanced powers.
