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.

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 to 33 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 - 2033 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Everlasting Father?. There's your answer The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near.

[@CheesySammich-ss8jc]

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.

[@BlackMarchChannelAMVBMC]

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

[@saanguiine]

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]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@jayhofilena1596]

Then why not just stab him with a knife... Lets see how he'd release a Knife stuck in his gut..

[@FunSkipping]

Yes but that's as dumbed down as you could have put it, he can't absorb anything beyond electric and kinetic energy (No photons from the sun or radiation) (Yes I know he was draining power from a reactors rods) He only holds power for a few minutes that's why he never pulls an attack out of his ass that he already had power for, and lastly he never ages but he cannot regenerate people are saying he can and it's annoying.

[@gradesam6306]

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]

Now this is sci fi and he is mutant... So anything is possible, if he can absorb exponential amount or his cells can store the electrical charge more than its cellular limit or he had evolved into a walking deadly power collector... It's always one answer,. He is a MUTANT..☺️✌️

Ah yes, his most formidable power; gun.

Kevin Bacon fit perfectly for this character Really an awesome character I really want see him in a movie as Protagonist I know will be EPIC

Broth 😮 Now I can see the genius of this movie and the good CGI, it's a pity that we didn't know how to value this jewel😢 Damn❤

He my favorite one

[@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

[@son9626]

Wait he should be able to adapt to that attack right?? In the comic book he can adapt to anything, even without his desire to adapt, his instict and body adapted to any condition

[@CynthiaLee-wb4bd]

Shaw was a great character I was honestly surprised at how powerful he was, close too if not omega level, he definitely had to be killed otherwise he would have become to powerful lol

[@angelor9211]

I think his power was just kinetic energy absorption, along with longevity that's about it

[@lai7067]

0:25 Amazing.

[@JJ-zy3zv]

This guy is awesome

[@tactknightgaming2066]

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.

[@benjaminlim3936]

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

[@SinnerChrono]

Would have loved to see what he was going to do with the nukes energy.

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

Could Rogue, Kitty, Jean, Blink, Wolverine, or Apocalypses defeat him? How tough would he fare against any of the Avengers?

[@aaryansingh9164]

He was sucking up a nuclear reactor Safe to say most of the Avengers would've died if fought against him Rogue and apocalypse can defeat him i think Rogue can steal his ability, apocalypse can adapt and heal Jean too should be able to defeat him

[@BaneSIlvermoon]

Jean could just shut his body down. And her telekinesis is so strong she could potentially eliminate any opportunities he has to absorb anything. Kitty Pryde could potentially ohass through him and knock him out. Not sure how much Blink could help. Wolverine would have his hands full for sure. The Black King would probably be the first to get the opportunity to end that fight. Though it's probably just as likely that Shaw would underestimate Logan, fail to keep his distance, and give Wolverine the upper hand.

[@fbi-ps8kg]

In the mcu Strange with the time stone can def pull some strings. Even without the stone he can manipulate shaw indirectly. Shaw cannot absorb magic much less chaos magic, so scarlet witch is another one. Shaw has good strength but really shitty human level endurance, the guy died to a coin to his head, so vision can phase and kill him. Thor could make his axe cut through him slowly. Hulk could be a tie or it could be like the ending of 2003 hulk movie with hulk sending energy levels beyond his limit and killing him. Rogue can steal powers, Jean could suspend him in the air, wolverine can't overpower shaw in strength and apocalypse could go either way, unless movie apocalypse can shur his brain down.

[@fbi-ps8kg]

The comics are a way different story

[@loaialmoghrabi2206]

Jean can take his helmet off by her telekinesis then use her telepathy to shut his brain down Kitty can touch his legs to take him with her deeply under the ground and phase again and he can't survive without oxygen under the ground and will die Blink can teleport him a way from her deep in the sea where he can't breath Wolverine has a chance also to defeat him although most of his attacks will be absorbed by sebastian but if he can get close and open his claws slowly in Shaw's skin he will be able to kill him because of the too low kinetic energy to absorb in this situation the sharp part of the claws will penetrante his skin as others said before its not super durability just absorbing keintic energy Rouge will absorb his powers easily Apocalypse has healing powers and adaptation force fields matter manipulation he will make the ground under shaw pull him inside it Now I was talking about shaw without absorbing nuclear power or too much energy because everything will be different about shaw In his maximum potential In this case one hit from him will send wolverine flying back unconscious And even phoniex force won't hurt him too much in that case but still affected by telepathy phasing teleportation powers so kitty blink jean still able to defeat him and Rouge the same Unfortunately for apocalypse the fighting here will be too hard even for him he can absorb the force field its made of energy and power augmentation will just make shaw more powerful and maybe if he did a mistake shaw will kill him in this case

[@magnetarquasar4099]

Podria shaw absorber la energia del fenix?

[@patrckhh20]

That's a pretty awesome power.

[@phungquyen3511]

0:20 Shaw survived a grenade but then got killed by a coin

[@marethyu_77gamer93]

Because no telepath was blocking him from using his power when he survived the grenade

[@rodrigom8907]

The clothes absorbs the power too. Cool.

[@matthewlloyd2501]

Is it super durability or just energy absorbtion? If he can absorb the energy he doesnt need to be durable..

[@eltrespiernas7691]

Es prácticamente un dios, es intocable

[@d.b.hemlock]

Shaw from the movies vs. Shaw in the Comics are two vastly different mutants. Arguably Shaw from the movies is insanely more badass... For example, Shaw can absorb energy in the films NOT just kinetic energy. So nuclear energy, solar radiation energy, kinetic and thermo energy. But the insane part is he could in theroy absorb energy from the shifting tectonic plates, our earth's core, and even the rotation of the planet. There's litteraly no end to what energy he could have absorbed IF you just explain him as "he can absorb energy". Theoretically Shaw if he could truly absorb all forms of energy would have put him on an Omega level threat. Bullets don't phase through him, they impact and ALL energy is immediately absorbed rendering the bullets harmless. Same with shrapnel and any object with force applied behind it. The coin scene would have never worked with this version of Shaw. As hard as Magneto pushed, all energy would have been absorbed. They knew they made an Omega threat for the movie just to pose an immediate danger. But they had to kill Shaw otherwise he'd been too powerful for their own universe. Seriously once you start looking into how vast the energy absorption ability is, and what it's capable of, nothing can defeat it. On a theoretical basis of course.

[@dylanpyle6500]

that's why i hate writers,can never let true villains win

[@marethyu_77gamer93]

The coin would have still worked, since it wasn't about the minor kinetic energy of the coin but about Charles' keeping Shaw in place and preventing him from using his power.

[@yanniskarpasea]

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

I don't understand how he suddenly became a mutant when he was just a human

[@shadowx8145]

You'll need to know the comics for that

[@Jackson-ub1uv]

Shaw didn't *become* a mutant, he would've just been hiding it.

[@fbi-ps8kg]

​@@Jackson-ub1uv I thought he experimented on magneto and replicated the mutant dna to put it in him

[@godmysteryeditor9390]

So you telling us that Sebastian Shaw weakness is kineticless assault. We saw Magneto kills Shaw by using a metal coin because of kineticless assault?

[@daphire7602]

Imma pretend to sound smart but sounds like a complete but kinetic energy moves fast and has momentum which he can absorb on impact ( I. E the grenade, bullets, missile, I think that's havok energy blast which were coming at him with extreme speed also Charles was messing with his mind and in the comics rogue just beat him by throwing him up in the air so that's why that coin killed him) so in theory just do something that doesn't take up much energy Can someone much smarter than me explain this😅😅😅

[@a5351451314]

@@daphire7602 because professor x is mind controlling him i guess professor x stop his power for a moment

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

I got ya. Basically, when you hit something, it transfers momentum, so basically exchanges its movement for the object it hits, thats kinetic energy he can absorb. If its a constant push, a force, then its not transferring energy, and he cant absorb it. Basically an explosion or sonic boom vs a tornado

[@matthewbiehl1840]

I think its all about constant exertion plus piercing power. Like bullets have piercing power but theyre done in an instant, but say a knife was used in somebodies hand, its piercing and constantly moving moving forward. Prof x stopping him also makes a huge difference but i still stand by piercing/constant force is the key to beating him

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

@@matthewbiehl1840 Well the impact from something that could pierce him would be absorbed so it wouldnt go through yes, however he would still be crushed by walls closing in. So the constant force yes, the piercing is not necessary

can shaw able to absorb magic?

[@daphire7602]

If I remember correctly comic shaw can idk about this one

[@derpmanaveragegamer7791]

i wouldnt say he has "super durability" as from the scene its clear he is simply absorbing the kinetic energy of the bullets as they hit him. this is supported by his death scene as magneto is able to kill him by just pushing a coin through his head while shaw isnt able to use his absorption powers

[@permeus2nd]

1:11 so this could just be his Energy absorption power as he is just adsorbing the kinetic energy out of the bullets as they get close to him meaning the just fall to the ground before touching him. The super strength could also be this too it’s a little hard to tell.
