| Weight: | 320 lbs |
| Eyes: | Red |
| Hair: | Bald (with black facial hair) |
| Other Distinguishing Features: | Although basically human in appearance for a Deviant, Kro has pointed ears |
| Strength Level: | Kro can lift (press) around 800 lbs. (Most Deviants are not physically stronger than ordinary human beings, although there are indeed many superhumanly strong Deviants). |
| Known Superhuman Powers: | Despite
his Deviant heritage, Kro possesses a number of
superhuman traits characteristic of an Eternal. Kro
maintains a virtually unbreakable mental control over the
processes and structure of his body even when he is
asleep or unconscious. As a result, Kro has a lifespan
that has already lasted over 20,000 years and is immune
to disease and aging. His mental control over his body
enables him to maintain a youthful, vigorous physical
condition. Kro is not as nearly indestructible as the
Eternals. But while sufficient force can kill Kro, he can
use his mental control over his body to heal himself
after being injured. Kro also possesses the power of physical malleability, which is atypical for a Deviant. At will he can cause most of the tissue of his body to become pliant, enabling him to shape it mentally like putty into different configurations. Once the tissue is set in an altered form, Kro has only to stop concentrating and his body will retain that shape until such time as he concentrates upon changing it again. This ability enables him to disguise himself and take the appearance of others (with cosmetic help for skin colour, body hair, and so forth). One of Kro's favourite ploys is to pass himself off among ordinary humanity as a demon by fashioning horns on his head. However, Kro's shape-changing powers are limited. He cannot alter the shape of his skeleton in more than minor ways. Moreover, he cannot eliminate any of his mass while transforming; he can only redistribute his 320 pounds of weight. Hence, he ususally only uses his shape-changing pwer to alter his facial features. He can mentally mold the shape of his skull somewhat. Kro has about three times the physical endurance of an ordinary human athlete. His heart is not located in the same place as an ordinary human being's; its true location is unrevealed. |
| Other Abilities: | Kro is a master military strategist, a superb military commander, a good hand-to-hand combatant, and an expert in the use of Deviant weaponry. |
| PARAPHERNALIA | |
| Costume Specifications: | Unrevealed |
| Personal Weaponry: | Kro has employed a number of weapons developed by Deviant technology. Among his favourites are flame-guns, vibro-whips, and shroud-guns. |
| Special Weaponry: | Kro frequently wears special glasses designed to extend his vision into the infrared and ultraviolet ranges. Hence, if Kro is wearing these glasses in a room where there is no visible light, he can still detect objects by perceiving the heat (infrared radition) they give off. |
| Other Accessories: | Unrevealed |
| Transportation: | Unrevealed |
| Design and Manufacture of Paraphernalia: | Deviant Technology |
