Talk:David North (character)

More Details on Powers?

Not much is said about what Maverick's actual powers are. At the very least, it should be explain what an "anti-healing factor" is.

Lost powers

re 'During or slightly after this period, North inexplicably lost his kinetic absorption powers.'

I don't think it was ever confirmed but it was indicated that he lost his powers after a 10(ish) story fall in Berlin on his final mission with Sabretooth and Wolverine (Sabretooth and Wolverine being saved by their respective healing powers and Maverick by his ability to absorb kinetic energy) as they escaped from Omega Red with the "carbonadium synthesizer". This is told in flashback in a series of X-Men comics where Wolverine and the rest of the then 'Blue Team' were captured by 'The Hand' and 'Omega Red' along with Sabretooth. I'm not sure of the exact comics though so won't put the correction in....

Maverick says of the 10-story fall in X-Men #6: "It was years before we learned what Creed already suspected...that he and Logan shared an accelerated healing factor...while my mutant power to absorb kinetic impact barely saved me from that ten story drop."

Later, in X-Men #11, he states that he wishes he had his powers again during a fight with Warhawk. This is the first mention that he no longer has powers. One could theorize that perhaps what happened was early symptoms of the Legacy Virus, however, the storyline in which that disease stared, X-Cutioner's Song, occured after X-Men #11.

No writer has clarified when or how Maverick lost his powers, to my knowledge.

Possible Seinfeld Reference

In the episode when Kramer's number is close to the MovieFone's, he mentions an Agent Zero movie. Could he be referring to the X-Men character? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Risico001 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

No. This character was known as Maverick at the time. "Agent Zero" is a recent (and lame) name for the character.
