General Power Information: Ethan;s powers encompass a form of exothermic energy conversion.
Ability One: Thermokinesis. Ethan is able to suck the thermal energy from objects and the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in precipitous drops in atmospheric temperature in the immediate vicinity. As a side effect, Ethan is resistant to the extremes of cold his power produces.

Ability Two: Energy Conversion and projection. Ethan can convert the extracted thermal energy into plasma and store the plasma in his mutated muscle fibers.

Background: Born in Boston, Ethan grew up around the restaurant business, his parent sbeing the owners of the Miss Paragon diner in Waltham. Ethan was always cosnidered a little weird, but his parents never thought much of it, figure he was just a geek, which his mother encouraged. His dad, a Vietnam vet and former college football star, was less then enthused about this, and their relationship was tense, until the day Ethan's powers manifested. On a quiet sunday mornign, during the brunch rush, four gang member barged intot eh crowded diner waving guns and demanding money. Durign the ensuign scuffle, Ethan was pushed onto the hot grill, giving him severe burns on his palms, the scars of whcih he still bears. This trauma triggered his latent X-gene and within seconds every BTU ofheat had been sucked out of the grill and converted to plasma, which Ethan instinctively directed at the nearest robber. Seeing their compatriot have his heart and lungs carbonized, the two others ran. When META and the police arrived, Ethan's father sat him down and revealed a secret, that during the Vietnam War he had been the metahuman supersoldier known as Lieutenant Liberty, and he was always worried that the chemical enhancements the Army had done to him were passed on to his son. His fears were well founded, META's medical workup of Ethan showed the supersoldier drugs given to the elder Hollister had strengthened Ethan's latent X-gene and allowed it manifest.
