And what he had to say wasn't helping his situation.
Chuzo stumbled down the street, a pale, stretched figure of a young man, almost, in fact, skeletal, with a face slowly being stretched across his skull.
He stumbled again, catching himself and lifting himself up on the great, black wings he had sprouted over the last three hours. Three hours of hell where unexperienced use of his mutant power had sent him into a self-perpetuating cycle that would be difficult for him to end without help.
He was radiating fear, almost, driving people before him like a mob as he asked for help with the pain, the plea only coming out as a muttered and hissed "pain" and thus further terrorizing the people he was seeking help from.
He shot, and the bullets were simply absorbed into his system and further made the problem difficult.
For, you see, Chuzo's powers were as follows: He had slightly increased physical capabilities, and a permanent gaunt look that, while would not be near as bad as what he looked like at the moment, was still far from human. Then there were the demonic-seeming wings that he could wrap about himself as armor, if he were in better condition.
He was highly telepathic, but had no idea how to use it, so that he was currently only projecting raw fear and single, hissing words. And the power that was going haywire and killing him was also the one that was making him hard for the police to handle.
Chuzo, absorbed metal into his body, converting it to energy. However, it was, if unused, painful. The more energy the more painful it was, and that energy had to be burned off somehow, or else the body burned it off itself, by burning away flesh. And so, as Chuzo took in more metal he took a further skeletal he looked as his body ate away at itself in an effort to get rid of the painful energy.
And all he had to do was release that energy some how, fire it away into the sky, but he did not know how to do that. No, instead, he stumbled through the streets, too weak to give his new wings a try, projecting terror ahead of him and provoking much chaos in his coming, all the while pleading for someone to help him.
