A resident of Hell's Kitchen, Víctor was the son of a marriage on the breaking point. His father was part of a protest of residents of a building which was scheduled for demolition. The building was destroyed by Bullseye, and the developers left the place, fearing the potential reprecussions of building on land associated with the death of 107 taxpaying citizens.
But there was a 108th resident: Víctor, who somehow survived by harnessing his chi, to transform his body into a thing like unto iron. Crawling from the wreckage, he stayed with his mother.
His activities are unknown, but when Daredevil extended the Hand's power over Hell's Kitchen, creating a blanket of fear, he chose the identity of Power Man, to protect his neighbours. This drew the attention of Luke Cage, the previous Power Man, and Iron Fist, who uses a technique similar to Víctor's. Víctor has expressed disdain for both men, in particular Luke Cage, who he accuses of "selling out".
Victor can absorb chi from his environment, granting him superhuman strength, generation of personal force fields and accelerated healing; Victor glows when empowered in the same way when Iron Fist powers up his chi fist punch. He can explode chi outward through punches, use chi to enhance the vitality or superpowers of others while in direct contact, and can channel messages through bioelectric frequencies. Victor once absorbed chi from multiple sources simultaneously, briefly growing giant-sized with increased strength. He sometimes experencies of those who died in the tenement explosion. Biolectric jamming devices can temporaly inhibit Victor's power.
