Overview
Personality and attributes
Powers and abilities
Chase stole telescopic X-ray goggles and the 'Fistigons from his parents' secret laboratory. The X-ray goggles allowed Chase to see through clothing, walls, and even through miles of rock. The Fistigons were metal gauntlets with built-in flamethrowers. The gloves allowed the wearer to mentally shape the produced flame into any form the wearer desired. (Runaways v1 #4) Before the final fight with their parents, Chase nearly drowned and was too weak to go on. He gave the Fistigons and X-ray goggles to Alex, who subsequently betrayed the team to their parents. Nico used the Staff of One to magically destroy the gauntlets while he was still wearing them. (Runaways v1 #17) Meanwhile, the X-ray goggles were incinerated with Alex by the Gibborim. (Runaways v2 #23)
Before Gert's death, she transferred telepathic control of Old Lace to Chase. (Runaways v2 #18) Thus, he shared an empathic link with the dinosaur, so both suffer from one another's injuries and benefit when the other heals. Chase and Old Lace's minds are also directly connected so the dinosaur can telepathically communicate thoughts and feelings to her master. (Runaways v2 #18) Old Lace is engineered to follow Chase's every mental command though she can express dissatisfaction; to date, Old Lace has directly disobeyed only one of Chase's orders and was able to only with Karolina's help. (Runaways v2 #23)
Chase has also used Nico's Staff of One against Nico. (Runaways v2 #23)
Later on, Chase would come to make use of a time machine to travel through time. He returned shortly afterward with newly built Fistigons of his own design; to protect the team from the Yorkes' by conjuring fire and electricity to defeat them. And then protects the Leapfrog from a barrage of missiles by using the Fistigons to shoot out missiles of their own. (Runaways v2 #30)
At one point, Chase obtained Darkhawk's powers, as the original owner was separated from the amulet. After escaping the arena, Chase returned the amulet to its original owner. (Avengers Arena v1 #18)
