The consequence of repeated experiments upon himself, gene-splicing has hardened his flesh to the point where it's comparable to some low-grade metals.

A few weeks after the initial rounds gene-therapy, an unintended side effect was finally realized. A small organ had formed next to his small intestine. It possessed something akin to a pulse, beating a half a dozen times a minute.

It's function was simple enough. It generates trace amounts of electricity, stockpiling it within Morgan's epidermis. Upon a predator striking him, a shock is sent out to try to dissuade them from attacking again. After retaliation, the organ skyrockets to 24 BPM to rebuild it's stockpile.
