- Mutant Tattoos - Ink possesses tattoos printed on different parts of his body, each representing and granting him a different ability. Ink has a biohazard symbol on his right palm, a Caduceus symbol right hand and forearm, two lighting bolt symbols on his head, the symbol of Colossus organic steel skin on his left hand and forearm and a Phoenix symbol over his right eye.
- Illness Inducement- The biohazard symbol on his right palm grants him the ability to induce sicknesses onto other people. When directed at other people (without any visible energy projection between them), this causes his target to suffer the effects of radiation poisoning: specifically, it made them start vomiting uncontrollably, though it is unclear if prolonged exposure would have done more damage.
