He has only 1 power. Shaw can absorb any type of energy which can then be stored in his body and redirected. Since his body functions differently he is able to fully rejuvenate his cells by essentially recharging them with other forms of energy, which makes him nearly invincible and powerful.

[@FunSkipping]

He is a mirror force trap card but as a human being yes. But he can't hold onto the energy forever or he'd die, if you watch it again he never pulls power he already had out of his ass. and he can't rejuvenate shit or he wouldn't have died to a coin, he doesn't age if that was what you meant.

He not only absorbs energy but is also either able to make objects phase through his body like the bullets or completely absorb them. And although he absorbs kenetic energy passively, a coin can still move through him... Also lets not forget he has the ability to throw a guy into space and he never comes back down in that scene.

[@LuckyHaz42]

I think, his only power is abortion and control over energy. So he probably just absorbs all kinetic energy from bullets on contact, making them pretty much useless, because without energy bullets just cant move

[@uchiha6284]

That guy is still travelling in space

[@amythistxue1]

in the comics he can just absorb energy then use that stored energy to enhance his physical strength most likely he would have just absorbed the energy from the bullets and they would have just fallen at his feet, which would have been a cool touch of CGI for that scene, and yeah like 90% of his defeats are just people not engaging him directly, like destroying the floor beneath him, lifting him helplessly into the air with telekenisis, etc

[@sanguinstein]

That kill with coin scene was clever. Eric slowly buried the coin inside his head so that shaw would absorb a negligible amount of kinetic energy from the coin.

[@itzjermz1749]

He can't make it phase through him he can only absorb the impact

[@kennyrosenyc]

Interesting. Sebastian Shaw, traditionally, absorbs kinetic energy. He doesn't cause explosions, he just get's stronger. Obviously, the films are different. But he's been beaten by the X-men simply by picking him up and not allowing him to make contact with anything that was moving. For example, Jean Grey could just suspend him in the air. In that suspended state he would not be able to absorb any kinetic energy and would just be a large, muscular human. Likewise, if someone hits him, he could hit them back with the same amount of force without being affected by the original hit.

[@MrWadewynn]

He can’t redirect? That makes him lamer than Bishops

[@kennyrosenyc]

@@MrWadewynn He could redirect, just not in kind. If you shot him, his punch would that much more powerful. If Colossus hit him, he would punch Colossus back with the same power PLUS his own power.

[@MrWadewynn]

@@kennyrosenyc I prefer bishops power then, blasts generally seem to spread destruction more. Like bishop redirecting the full blast of cyclops optic blast

[@Commanderziff]

So Shaw is basically Strong Guy, with better looks, and without the heart condition? I don't know much about Shaw, but I remember when Strong Guy fought the Hulk. Hulk punched him, Strong Guy absorbed the force of the punch, and then hit the Hulk back, hard enough to stagger him. Then SG almost collapsed because absorbing the power of a Hulk punch almost gave him a heart attack.

[@kennyrosenyc]

@@Commanderziff Yeah. That's the original Shaw. He just absorbs kinetic energy and uses it to boost his strength.

[@arnodorian1620]

They did darwin dirty, i mean in reality he should be the most powerful person in that room, and its not even close, his ability to adapt is supposed to be so incredinly strong.

[@EmptyMan000]

The fact you fans say that junk shows how little you understand the character or evolution in general. Darwin's powers need time to properly form an adaptive defense against threats. If the threat is too dangerous for his body to adopt fast enough, he will die. Just like any other creature that evolves.

[@BaneSIlvermoon]

​@EmptyMan000 That's exactly opposite of what Darwins power does. It's a completely instinctual (and immediate) response. He turned into a Death God to prevent Hela from killing him with her touch. And more recently, after being swallowed by the earth with two dead and one living team mate, he absorbed the two dead girls bodies and turned himself into pure energy to merge with the remaining team member and give him all four individuals powers. He's gained nightvision after a few seconds in the dark. Become impervious to fire after being exposed to flame. Popped gills after being submerged in water. Being sucked into space and suddenly not needing to breathe. Or just teleporting him away from the Hulk instead of trying to find a way to tank the beating. He's legit probably one of the hardest characters to write for because his power is so ridiculously extreme.

[@None38389]

@@EmptyMan000 In the comics Darwin's power can turn himself into a god in an instant just to survive, it is pretty much supernatural.

@@EmptyMan000 Darwin survived Scarlet Witch using magic to remove the X-Gene from all mutants. It actually hit him and he's not one she just skipped. We know because it made him more powerful. That attack wasn't just magic at that point, it was reality warping, which means he could probably survive Franklin Richards or take an attack from the Infinity Gauntlet. I don't know what else you could try. Maybe the One Above All? It's not like Darwin's someone who could take those people out, it's just that they can't hurt him.

[@gradesam]

technically he could just sunbathe non-stop, the sun has some insane amount of energy, even after it got filtered by the atmosphere.

[@Commanderziff]

I doubt he could absorb enough to do that much damage. He couldn't absorb the entire output of the sun, only what actually hits him. A solar panel the size of a person only produces about 400-500 watts. Current solar tech is only about 20% efficient, so lets be VERY generous, and say that he's at absolute max efficiency, maybe 2500 watts an hour max. You could certainly run the average house on that much power, you'd be unstoppable in the Olympics, but you wouldn't be a world conquering threat. Somehow Superman does it though, which really confused me once I set up a home solar panel system, and realized just how little sunlight a human sized object can actually absorb.

[@VDA19]

​@@Commanderziff He doesn't really have the powers of a world conqueror. Even if he were to absorb the energy of 10 nukes, he can't detonate those nukes far from him, since the energy is inside him. If he decided to end humanity it would take him ages to do it. Magneto is way stronger than him, his mistake was fighting him in a submarine. If they fought in the open, Magneto could just suspend him in the air and throw him into the sea or something. Shaw has no way of reaching him.

[@TriNguyen-he7xk]

@@Commanderziff that's not how energy works. You can't multiply watts by time to get watts. You underestimate the energy from the sun. The sun on average has an intensity of 1000W/m^2 Assuming shaw absorbs the surrounding light around him averaging 1 m^2 in just one day that's about 1000W x 3600S x 8 for 8 hours = 28.8 megajoules that's just in one day. For reference a grenade like the one shown in the movie has roughly 200-300 kj. One ton of TNT contains 4184 megajoules which would take roughly 150 days to fill. The kinetic energy of bullets and chemical energy of bombs is significantly less than the sun. Realistically getting energy from the grid is far easier and faster than standing out in the sun considering that a human doesn't a very large surface area and a heater or any contraption can use an arbitrary amount of power like a giant room sized microwave at 100 kilowatts

[@Zlysium]

But surface area of his body sitting on the surface of the planet means the amount of energy at any one point touching his skin isn't impressive. It takes awhile just for us to get sunburnt, he's not going to get as much sunbathing as he would eating a grenade. And there are limits to how much he can absorb too if you stuck him on the surface of the sun he'd just die.

[@Hommo_Cosmicus]

[@reecey222]

And no the sentinels couldn’t copy the telepathic abilities.

[@noahgraeme]

@@reecey222 He can absorb anything physical or energy based... dunno how the sentinels could combat that.

[@SkippyC137]

I like to believe that Darwin didn't actually die, but that because like Scotts power, Havoks power is pure energy from another dimension, and for Darwin to adapt to it, he himself became pure energy, turning himself into a being like that of Dr Manhattan. This would kind of explain the bright flash of light that occurred when he "died", it was him essentially transcending the physical plane to a higher form of being. Purely because he can truly adapt to anything.

[@quartzskull8772]

Exactly the only way his body could actually survive the energy was to become energy

[@arthurjunior7241]

Its shocking how supreme his ability us, like only a telepath is dangerous to him

Shaw is basically the Schrödinger's cat experiment which explains why his body multiplies because he is absorbing, regenerating and like quantum sponge his body existing in multiple layers.

Their Immortality genocidal tyrant who seek to start a revolution and rule the world with iron 👊……Pretty much.

[@hornguy04]

The effect where he "multiplies" while absorbing energy looks really cool. I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking "Oh cool, they are using the same effect as was shown in the comics/cartoon." Yet, I can't find a single example of him doing that in either comics or tv series. Am I remembering something wrong or thinking of a different character?

[@nickytheanimal2413]

Bishop does it in the comics I think

The guy with the rocket launcher shouldnt have skipped the first part of the video. Then he would've known about the explosion thing

Had to watch this movie over n over again because of Sabastian Shaw...

[@inanimatesum4945]

I don't think he has super durability as those moments were just his ability to absorb kinetic energy, his suit on the other hand does have super durability, so maybe just super suit.

[@jayhofilena1596]

Stab him with a knife instead. Lets see how he absorbs a sharp, pointy kinetic energy.. That would have saved the Xmen a lot of trouble..

[@zaanredelinghuys191]

I love how shooting someone with a gun is considered a super power.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

I remember in comics, before any confrontation, Shaw would punch concrete walls repeatedly for a while to build up devastating energy to use. Theres one panel where hes just punching a building until his hands are tired and he ends up testing it out and it shatters the entire building into dust. His powers are terrifying when used correctly

[@blumbtumb7404]

Shaw is awesome!!

[@yanniskarpasea]

They shouldn't have killed him so quickly. He was awesome.

[@lucassmith1285]

The way he just eats up a grenade in front of general shepard, price could never😂

This is how they should have portrayed Bishop's character in Days of Future Past. Bishop was nerfed so badly in the movie. 😞

Hope he returns in the MCU

[@rayzen9534]

I don't think Darwin's powers failed .It did exactly what it was supposed to do , adapt to high amount of energy by becoming pure energy and Shaw read him like a book😅

[@MistCorvid]

Holy crap, thats unsettling, mr shaw just consumed darwin.

[@sauradipdas1649]

His body could not comprehend what kind of energy it is. He can only adapt to the general elemental kind of energy like electricity, fire etc.
