@MelonHeadWell I've had an idea kind of along those lines, but not in that particular way.
I've been thinking of replacing the fire and ice with kinetic pulses and barriers yeah, but entirely based in movement. Rather than an ability that can be done with a thought. Something befitting the kind of person that he is, much more reactive than passive.
I'm looking back on a character who I used back in my Deviantart Roleplaying days, a guy whose whole thing was kinetic energy. Haven't thought of him in years but I realize that combining the two into one character might be exactly what Dunnaman needs.
A kinetic blast ability would be fitting, as his body's way of mirroring Fury's own blasts of energy. But something like Hit's punches from Dragon Ball Super, where his punches project blasts of energy every time he throws a punch. A subconscious remnant of Fury maybe.
A barrier ability would be useful but coming up with a way for him to use it would be difficult.
Maybe an extension of his passive energy absorption, since it would still de-energize matter in the same way.
Perhaps he either;
A- Absorbs the energy from incoming threats.
or
B- Repulses incoming threats with a burst of energy.
Man, to think, the whole reason that Kanitah exists is because of a story I read online.
And the whole reason I'm thinking about this is because that story has recently been made into a visual novel.
