Power: Reptilian transformation: Jamal can morph his physiology to a more reptilian variation giving him a scaly alligator like hide that absorbs shock allowing him to take more physical strikes. The scales are acid resistant and don't conduct electricity as much. The transformation also strengthens his teeth to the point where they can bite through non reinforced metal objects like pipes or chain link fences. But the transformation also effects his adrenal gland and he can be thrown into rages this doesn't help his heart condition which he takes pills for daily.
Enhanced strength: Jamal's strength is increased to the point where he can crack concrete and lift a full grown man by the throat with one hand the only drawback is his heart condition which prevents him from exerting it to higher levels for long periods of time.
Acid spit: Jamal can produce a corrosive acid from glands in his throat and projectile spit it in a ball form as an attack. His body is immune to it's corrosive touch but he doesn't continuously use it because his grandmother always said it was a filthy habit and he doesn't like the taste it leaves in his mouth.

His clothing choices are a dark brown hoodie, a green men's tank top, grey cargo pants and black sneakers. He wears a silver crucifix around his neck.
When he's in his reptile form his skin is dark green scales. His eyes change from brown to yellow and take a reptilian appearance. Most of his muscular structure thickens and becomes more prominent. His hair disappears into his scalp but discolorations remain in it's place. His nose also shrivels up into two small slits. His knuckles grow hardened scales that work as natural brass knuckles. His teeth spread out slightly and sharpen like a proper crocodiles. And finally ridges form up his spine and end on his neck.

Overall Personality: Jamal was raised to be polite and usually talks courteously to people. He tends to be soft spoken but is most of the time friendly and will crack jokes with friends. He is genuinely good hearted and tries to use his powers to make a difference. Jamal has a great dislike for the government, having grown up in the mostly ignored slums of New Orleans he sees it a unfair that they're being treated like criminals while there's so much crime that's ignored.
When fighting he's quite hot headed and sometimes can take things too far overwhelming his heart and causing him to have to pop a pill to calm it down. He also does this while exercising in an effort to strengthen his heart and overcome his weakness. He dislikes surprises due to his condition and tends to get punchy if pranks are pulled on him. Jamal enjoys cooking and exercising on his off time. Whenever he does something his grandmother wouldn't approve of he usually starts with. "Grandma always said...." and some form of warning.
Jamal has always been very open about his powers and due to his grandmother's support, she went as far to call them miracles. He knows he's about as ugly as a Mexican Pit-bull when he's in his Croc form he just doesn't care and even jokes about it. Although he dislikes the school he still puts on a good act of being a kind and courteous student in order to hide his affiliation with Battle Front. He doesn't hate all perfects and acknowledges that most of them dislike being in the academy just as much as him. Though this acknowledgment doesn't mean he will hold back if one get's in his way. Jamal also has some strong religious beliefs.
