Powers
Vance Astro is a mutant possessed with the psionic power of psychokinesis, the ability to affect matter with is mind. In some unknown manner Astro's brain generates psionic energy which he is able to project as concussive force. Astro can focus the energy at will, creating anything from a narrow two-inch diameter beam of force to a 360 degree expanding force sphere. At maximum concentration Astro's narrow focus is capable of knocking seven 250-pound men standing ten feet tall from him at a distance of five feet. Major Victory does not have the mental discipline to use his psionic power delicately. He only mastered his abilities to the point of his psycho-blast.

Major Victory can not remove his protective bodysuit. If he does so, the delayed effects of aging will kill him. Major Victory is an above average athlete with a basic knowledge of unarmed combat which he learned when he was in the Air-Force.
