Editing Behemoth (section)

===Radiation===
Another signature ability of Behemoth's is to project radiation around himself. Capes fighting him typically take radiation pills.<ref>“Did last…  time,” Dragon said, her words bearing an odd cadence.  She approached me, holding an armband and a silver packet.<br><br>I accepted them, turning both over in my hands.  “Radiation pills?”<br><br>She nodded, holding up one finger.<br><br>“Take one?”<br><br>“Yes,” she said.  “Still.” - [[Drone 23.5]]</ref> When Behemoth uses this ability, he glows with white light.<ref>
Behemoth was ''glowing'', his gray skin tending more towards white, a stark contrast to his obsidian horns and claws.  The heroes were backing off a measure, and Behemoth was taking advantage of the situation to stampede forward, tearing past buildings and barricades.<br><br>“Grue!”  I shouted.  The noise in the distance was getting worse.  If Behemoth was continuing the path I’d seen him traveling, he was wading through a series of buildings.  Grue didn’t hear me.  I raised my voice, waited until the noise died down, “Radiation!  Use darkness!”<br>[...]<br>And just beyond this point, Behemoth, in the flesh.  He glowed white, marking the radioactive glow, and Grue’s darkness wreathed him, containing it. - [[Crushed 24.2]]</ref> His ability to emit concentrated radiation is limited to a radius of around 100 feet, which is enough to saturate the area with radiation and inflict acute radiation syndrome.<ref>They were the lucky ones, Chevalier thought.  The radiation was generally observed to be ''concentrated'', limited to a certain range, manipulated to strike only those within a hundred feet or so of Behemoth, to saturate the landscape and render it uninhabitable.  These capes were close enough.  Their deaths would be slow, painful. - [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref>

As a last resort and if not stopped, Behemoth can turn himself into a bomb with enough time.<ref>Scion followed up with another shaft of light, and the forcefield shattered in an instant.  Behemoth was slammed into the road, three streets down from the gathered heroes outside the temple.<br><br>The Endbringer glowed, and the swelling light was too intense to look at.<br><br>Just seeing it, there was no question of what he was doing.  ''A final act of spite''.  Turning himself into a bomb.<br><br>A stream of darkness poured from one of the helicopters, filling the street Behemoth lay in.  For an instant, the Endbringer was almost entirely obscured.<br><br>Scion fired one more beam, and the darkness was obliterated, swept away.<br><br>The silhouette of the Endbringer flickered, then disintegrated.  There was no detonation, no destruction to the landscape.  Only the cleansing light. - [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref>
