Powers
Vibrokinesis: Avalanche is a mutant with the superhuman ability to generate powerful waves of vibrations from his hands, creating highly destructive effects through the air, water, or ground. The vibrations he generates can cause small inorganic objects to shatter or crumble to dust, while causing earthquake-like effects when used on the Earth or larger inorganic objects, such as buildings. Avalanche's control over his ability is so fine that he can move large objects, such as tanker trucks, without destroying them and even use his vibrations to smoothly throw his opponetns off-balance or weaken the structural integrity of buildings. Avalanche is also capable of causing tidal waves when directing his powers at large bodies of water.

Avalanche is immune to the effects of the vibratory waves that he generates, but he is not immune to the effects caused by his vibrations. So for example, he could use his powers to generate an earthquake but he would be affected by all the shaking of the earthquake and could be crushed if something fell atop of him during the tremors.
