If this character was turned into me by one of my tabletop gaming friends, here are the comments that would get bounced back to them, followed by a "Not Accepted" remark...

Samurai -> reflect would have to be changed to deflect. You can't reflect a bullet back at someone with a sword no matter how bad-ass you are.

Bone Weapons -> The -1 disadvantage of max AN of 6, for an Action that has an AN of 3 would be instantly refused.

Drain Energy ->
Heal needs to be identified (I assume this is healing 1w for every 3w you drain)
No to 2x Touch Only, since that implies "Control" for a power that is "Out of Control".
No to robots and cyborgs.
No to combining "Others not shield from power" with "Power out of Control" (One is just the other taken to the next level).
No to Self Aware Power. Having the GM assign the LoE instead of you isn't a Disadvantage at all.
I would also warn the player that if he abused this power, the Out of Control would change to GM Discretion of Use (and he'd find he didn't need to keep a Red Stone in it to hold it back anymore, and it would most likely work when he absolutely did not want it to work, like when dining with his family...) He's going to piss off players in the group if he uses it, ever, in a combat situation since he will be draining from them as well. This power is a team-breaker power, it can and likely will, kill the game.

CHALLENGES ->
This is the BIG problem... The rest of the character, with modifications, I can live with. If one of my guys turned in a sheet with a list of Challenges like this, the sheet would get automatically rejected.

The book doesn't put a limit on Disadvantages, and thus, neither do I... usually. But when someone turns in a sheet like this, I tend to apply a 10-challenge cap to their characters from then onward.

The reason I don't usually apply such a cap is because sometimes, it's very thematic for say... a vampire... to have -4 because he can DIE from sunlight, -2 because he Looks all pale and corpse like with huge canine teeth, -4 because nearly everyone in the world is his Enemy and knows to hunt him down, -3 because he is vulnerable to holy water, garlic, and crosses, -2 because he can't and won't go into a church, etc, etc...

When the list is Thematic, and fits the character concept well, it works. When the list is obviously someone just trying to milk every disadvantage point possible to turn a 40 point character into a 65 point character, mostly with Challenges that won't enter the game (Ie: not very challenging Challenges), time to put the 10 challenge limit back.

While I am much more generous on the boards, and try to work with people that I don't know, with characters like this, it's mostly because I assume if you're here, it's because you don't get to play anymore in a tabletop manner, and I empathize with that.

As for a general, step-back-and-look point of view, there's nothing really wrong with the character. He's very underpowered for being a 60 point character. Even for a 40 point character, he's not all that. The Drain Energy is going to make him hated by his team, and chances are good they'll be avoiding actually doing anything with him since he's going to drain them at critical moments because he needs the energy.

He will be a good fighter because of Ninjitsu, and I assume, 2 bone weapons, for basically a +6 freebie to combat, and +3 freebie to defense from Toughness. So, most turns, rather than use his Agility, he'll use the 2nd weapon modifier and 5 stones in Ninjitsu and end up with a 14 stone pool in combat. That's pretty much all he can do other than to drain energy from everyone which hurts allies as much or more, than enemies...

ya ment reflect not deflect

the 2x was not saposd to be a mner of control but rather that if tuched by him u would loose alot more energy then if not touchd by him.

altho i see alot of you points pritty cristal clear but he was just an idea i thout might be fun altho he is not a full team player the dran energy is kinda like a challge all on it own where u try to use him to his best while fighting your own power. idk i alway seem to want to make a hero whos bigest enamy is himself and tring to lurn how to deal with his abilty. i never rill see thos done right in comic books and want to try it for myself see if it is to hard to do.

the basic plan for the hero was to be a good fight to make up for the lack of using his "tru" mutant power. as far as that is conserd i think i one.

I'd like to add:

Samurai, Armor Penetration. No way. You wouldn't get this unless you pay for it. Thats +3 to CL.

Shapeshifting. You already have to pay 1 stone/panel to keep up your disguise. You can use the limited duration disadvantage from the Guide to Hulk & Avengers.

I wouldn't give a discount on toughness.
