Powers:
 
Cyberpathy: Black Box can actively receive and store all forms of electronic data and transmissions in his mind. He describes it as 'electronic telepathy.' His power works passively, in a manner that does not interfere with the transmission of any data he might intercept. He can receive electronic signals over a great distance - even isolating himself in a rural area does not completely shut out the information. He has an infinite storage capacity in his mind, containing every piece of information he has been exposed to. Unfortunately, this data is streamed into his mind far faster than he can accurately scan it all consciously. Though the information is present in his mind, it takes a combination of meditation, effort, and sheer willpower for Black Box to locate and extract specific bits of information on command.
Exobody: Black Box wears Protective armour with the ability to store large amounts of data as well as Black Box 's consciousness.
 
Origins:
 
Garabed Bashur, a native of India, was a cyberpath who possessed the mutant ability to psychically retrieve, interpret and store data from any form of electronic media (essentially a highly potent electronic form of telepathy). He was trained in this ability by Professor Charles Xavier until Xavier rejected Bashur upon learning of his criminal tendencies.
Bashur used the knowledge gathered by his power to amass a small fortune and became the leader of a small mercenary outfit, the Executive Elite.
