Powers
Life Force Absorption: Emplate has the ability to siphon mutant energy from the bone marrow of mutants by way of the feeder mouths on his hands. If he siphons a person's entire energy force from a victim, the victim will die. It is unknown how often Emplate must siphon energy force from another mutant to survive, but he does have to do so or he will die. When feeding from a victim, he cancels out their powers, preventing them from being used.

If Emplate drains only part of a victim's energy, he achieves a measure of psychic control over his victim's mind.
