What would someone with radiation manipulation realistically look like Question

+2
−0

So I've been designing this character with radiation/ nuclear based powers, and after debating on how to handle the character I decided to settle on radiation manipulation. This allows him to control any form of radiation (alpha ray, beta ray, gamma ray, xray, and neutrons), as well as having extensive knowledge of spectroscopy, radiology, and radio biology. I'm still working on details such as appearance but one thing I'm trying to figure out is his appearance when his powersare active.

I'm trying to avoid the generic appearance of "glowing skeleton" or "green glowing man", so I decided to look online about what someone would likely look like with this power, but due to how specific the concept was it was largely a list of already existing concepts that go back to these appearance types that's been done over and over again. So now that led me to here, so now I ask the question of what someone with radiation manipulation powers look like when his powers are active.

Please Note:

● One of the bonuses of this power is that he has absolute immunity to radiation, so any negative effects from this power would not apply to him, so it's unlikely he'll actually start looking sickly or anything

● This power allows him to generate and absorb these radiation types, being able to store it for later use

● When his powers aren't active he looks like another normal human, so I would rather focus on when his powers are active and he's generating radiation specifically
