Genius Intellect
Radek is a certified genius, and master of several scientific disciplines. He's an accomplished inventor. He's also a cutthroat businessman and gifted strategist, albeit a brutal one. If he cannot simply destroy an enemy outright, he will move to outthink them, and destroy them later.
Radiation Absorption
Radek's physiology, perhaps galvanized by the harsh environment of his homeland, is entirely immune to doses of ionizing radiation that would kill other humans. More than that, his body seems to use the energy to repair cellular damage, thereby improving Radek's healing factor. This makes Radek uniquely suited to investigating - and weaponizing - radioactivity.
Weaponized Radiation
Radek's power armor carries cocktails of radioactive waste and volatile isotopes, and he uses them to pummel his foes with sickening, burning power. Going toe-to-toe with the Irradicator can cause radiation sickness and burns, often to the point of death. He can also use this power to weaken energy shields, disrupt electronics and melt through obstructions. Even when not wearing his power armor, Radek still wears an emitter belt that can dose his enemies with lethal radiation and carries a polonium dagger that's as poisonous as it is sharp.
Power Armor Defenses
Radek's power armor is made of a durable alloy that's impervious to small arms and resistant to heavy explosives, energy weapons and environmental extremes. It also manipulates its native radiation sources to saturate its surroundings and construct particle fields that can disrupt or even repel certain forms of energy.
Power Armor Strength
Radek's power armor augments his strength by a factor of twenty. The Irradicator can bend steel, throw automobiles, and crush bone in his hands.
Power Armor Weapons
In addition to Radek's radioactive arsenal, his armor contains other offensive weapons including tasers, polonium darts and electric nets.
Power Armor Flight
Radek's power armor allows him to fly at just over Mach 1, the speed of sound. Its controls are fine-tuned, and so Radek can also hover in place or levitate to and fro.
Poor Health
While exposure to radiation and wearing his breather keep the effects at bay, Radek is still a man in poor health, and his habits only make matters worse. His lungs have congenital damage that he will never recover from, making him extremely sensitive to particulates in the air (smoke, dust, dander) or harsh shifts in temperature and humidity. His lung capacity is also below average. If separated from any source of ionizing radiation or his breather mask, Radek's chronic health problems come to the fore and weaken him considerably. As such, Radek always wears his mask.
Egomaniac
Radek's ego is massive, and though it propels his success it may also one day be his downfall. Radek's inability to see beyond himself is a blind spot; even more so when challenged. He does not forgive or forget transgressions, and metes out punishment for each one, sometimes in contradiction to prudence or pragmatism. Appeasement could be used to manipulate him, as he has trouble telling this apart from outright submission.
Lone Wolf
Radek abides no others in the world as equals. All are either tools to be mastered or enemies to be destroyed. As such, Radek has no true friends and no allies who would defend him in a crisis. His associations are often temporary and utilitarian. His love life consists of nothing but a revolving door of prostitutes. Even his employees, who are treated a touch better by him than by Arachnos, are worked long hours and kept in a constant state of fear to control them. In the end, it is Radek against the world, and he may one day find that even he, in all his genius and brutality, cannot stand alone.
