  Maelstrom
History: Maelstrom is the son of an Inhuman geneticist and a Deviant handmaiden, the first known hybrid of these two sister races to humanity.
Maelstrom's major ability is the Terrigen derived capacity to mentally manipulate all forms of kinetic energy and transform it into physical strength.
While Maelstrom can derive power from the motion of a single, room-temperature neutron, it is not yet known what the largest source of kinetic energy is that he can tap, or how much energy he can synthesize for use at the same time.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Maelstrom
Maelstrom is a followup to Peter Watts' debut novel, Starfish, in which a deadly microbe from Earth's prehistoric past is discovered at the site of a deep-sea power generating station.
To contain the danger, the power authority authorizes a secret nuclear strike, which destroys the station but sends earthquakes and tidal waves to savage the coastline of a North America already staggering under a burden of out-of-control disease, teeming hordes of refugees, and environmental collapse.
Bleak as this vision is, it's balanced by the spare vividness of Watts' prose, the fascination of his speculations (particularly the parallels he draws, in his portrayal of Maelstrom's wild evolutionary development, between biosphere and electrosphere), and the subtlety of his characters, who despite their various dysfunctions and ignoble agendas remain sympathetic.

The cities and byways of Maelstrom, from what we saw, are very moldable and destructible environments.
Water plays a big role in the game, as one of the three factions, an invading alien race, is aquatic in nature and derives tactical and strategic benefits from flooding its surroundings.
