Phoenix Protocol: Life Reboot Each death, only makes the flame burn stronger
Nanites used to save Bu Fang life continues to operate, maintaining his existence, whenever he approaches death, it keeps his form intact. In turn, his body keeps the nanite safe, bonding to him on a molecular level. Yet this also makes his body susceptible to instant change of temperature. If taken from extreme heat like a vat of magma, then dropped into a vat of nitrogen, it shatters the nanites.
Edit: Nothing wrong with this power other than the flavor is a bit bad - I changed it to "Must be Cooked & Eaten" to keep on the nose with concept, but whatever you want I guess.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.
While Incapacitated, your only weakness is must be cooked & eaten, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely. If your weakness is not immediately obvious, attackers may roll to discover it. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

False winter
“Come pry it from my cold dead hands…”
My body melts away leaving my equipment and a small Ice crystal the size of someone’s fist. There is an inscription on the crystal. “Soak me in a bathtub of water so that I may be whole once again.” When placed in a correct size tub of water (fresh or salt) I will absorb all the water and use it to reform my body around the crystal.

Unholy regeneration
Freds exploration into the unholy and the dark as enabled him to grow back from any wounds that are not left by the proper equipment. This has enabled him access to powers that many would consider to be unnatural, when this power is in effect anyone looking can see a black tar like substance continuously oozing out of the wound and then hardening into a rough sandpaper-like skin before finally becoming whole again
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive from a source other than blessed weapons heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.
Injuries you receive from blessed weapons are increased in Severity by 1.
- The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.

Rune of Revival
"Nothing can stop me!"
