Havok (Alexander “Alex” Summers) is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero, a member of the X-Men. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Neal Adams, he first appeared in X-Men #54 (March 1969).

A mutant, Havok generates powerful ‘plasma blasts,’ an ability he has had difficulty controlling. He is the younger brother of the X-Men’s Cyclops and older brother of Vulcan. He often resents Cyclops’ authoritative attitude and reputation as a model X-Man.

In contrast, Havok and his longtime love interest Polaris have had a love/hate relationship with the team, often finding themselves roped into it. Both were also members of the 1990s-era Pentagon-sponsored mutant team X-Factor. After X-Factor disbanded, Havok starred in Mutant X, a series in which he explored a strange alternate reality. He has since returned to the X-Men.

Plasma Generation – Havok has the mutant power to generate his absorbed cosmic into waves of super-heated plasma. Despite past accounts, the energy that Havok releases is not truly a concussive force. When Havok strikes an object with the waves of intensity of hot plasma, the sudden vast Jump in temperature will often cause objects to shatter, explode or disintegrate and an observer might therefore wrongly think that the object had been struck by a concussive force. His power has been shown to have no effect on his brother Scott (Cyclops).

Havok can project his power up to 750 feet with range increments of 150 feet. He can fire it as a burst that deals 10d8 as an attack action or a blast that deals 30d8 as a full-round action. This damage is radiation and disintegration damage. Havok must generate his power along the entire length of his arm to focus correctly and strikes as a ranged touch.

Rather then project his power forward Havok can choose to release it in all directions which inflicts damage in a 360 degree sphere extending 50 feet. A Reflex save (DC 23) is allowed for half damage.
