Reach

History

Powers & Abilities
Alexander possesses no natural superhuman powers or abilities. He possesses the strength of a man his height & weight who engages in regular moderate exercise.

Enchanted Arm Guard: The enchanted arm guards worn by Alexander grants him the following superhuman abilities:
 * Superhuman Strength: Reach possesses superhuman strength enabling him to press lift many tons. His physical strength is sufficient enough to enable him to lift and throw objects as heavy as a bulldozer with ease. His punches and kicks can be fatal to normal human beings. He can lift at least 10 tons, though the exact extent of his strength are currently unknown.


 * Superhuman Stamina: While wearing the guards, Gwin's body produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Reach can physically exert himself at his peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.


 * Superhuman Durability: With the guards on, Gwin's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.


 * Superhuman Agility: His agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Reach is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics.


 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Reach has a low-level rapid healing factor. While not at the most astounding level, it is sufficiently powerful enough to recover from severe injuries from broken bones and large amounts of tissue damage in a matter of hours.


 * Contaminant Immunity: While wearing the guards, Reach has a higher tolerance for drugs and diseases than normal humans, and he can recover from the effects of larger doses rapidly. However, Spider-Man has the normal human tolerance for alcoholic beverages.


 * Superhuman Reflexes: Gwin's reflexes are beyond the levels of the finest human athletes.

ABILITIES
Indomitable Will: As evidenced by his physical restrictions, Mal is possessed of tremendous strength of will, never giving up and often emerging from defeat even stronger.

Skilled Cook/Chef: Alexander is a very skilled cook/chef. He excelled in every cooking class throughout his school years and was the head chef at his first restaurant, before eventually handing the title over.

Master Acrobat: Thanks to his great strength and phenomenal equilibrium, Parker is an excellent athlete, excelling in all gymnastic fields and being able to perform every acrobatic stunt ever performed, including others that can never be performed by even an Olympic acrobat.[187]

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Over the years he has taken private lessons in various fighting styles and claims to be "pretty average" at every single style.

However, when utilizing the powers bestowed upon him by the guards, Gwin is considered a formidable opponent by many. Bulletproof has stated that Gwin's unique style of fighting, which he calls "a little bit of alot, mixed with his own style and ideas", makes his a "significant" ally to have.

Skilled Businessman: Alexander has managed to open three very successful New York restaurants (Gwin's, Derry Uno, Bvovac), of which he is the whole owner. He also is the co-owner of eleven other eateries throughout the U.S. and is the founder/owner of the Sandwich Hut chain of fast food restaurants.

Multilingual: Apart from English, Gwin can speak several languages fluently, including Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Russian and Portuguese,
