Powers & History: Leland could mentally control the mass of objects and people around him. During a battle with Nimrod in Uncanny #209, he suffered a heart attack and died, but not before he managed to greatly increase the mass of Sebastian Shaw, who had been thrown into the upper atmosphere by Nimrod. Shaw returned to earth with the force of a small meteor, smashing Nimrod to bits and saving the lives of the Inner Circle and the X-Men.
