Black Tom Cassidy (Marvel Comics)

Thomas Samuel Eamon Cassidy, also known as Black Tom Cassidy, is a mutant criminal and a member of the Hellfire Club.

Powers
Bio-organic thermokinetic blasts: Cassidy has the ability to generate blasts of concussive force or heat by using wood as the focus for his power. Typically, he uses a wooden shillelagh to channel this power. Following genetic engineering, Cassidy became able to channel the energy he generates directly through the parts of his body that were grafted to a wood-like substance.

Energy shields: Recently, he has been shown to form energy barriers using his shillelagh to deflect energy blasts.

Plant form: After being seriously injured by Cable, Cassidy's body was healed by an artificial wood-like growth introduced into his body. This substance initially served as a focus for his bio-blasts and later gave him plant control abilities. The substance was surgically removed after another series of injuries, reverting him back to his previous appearance. Later, Cassidy underwent a secondary mutation which naturally recreated and improved upon the plant-based powers he previously had gained artificially. After M-Day, Cassidy seemingly lost all of his powers and reverted back to his normal human appearance. However, he has since demonstrated both bio-blasting and plant control abilities.
 * Plant growth: Cassidy can grow to immense sizes.
 * Superhuman strength
 * Healing factor: He can regenerate damaged or destroyed body parts with great speed.
 * Chlorokinesis: He can mentally control all plant life within his vicinity.
 * Plant consciousness: Cassidy can distribute his consciousness amongst the plants he controls.
 * Life force absorption: Cassidy can drain the life force of organic beings.

Genetic immunity: Cassidy is highly resistant, if not immune, to Banshee and Siryn's sonic screams, and they are similarly protected from his bio-blasts.
