Fictional character biography

Snowblind is an underworld drug lord who has been blind since birth. He is a businessman, heading his own narcotics distribution organization, and sometimes works as an assassin. Snowblind has discovered that he has the power to see by generating a mystical field. However, using the same field, Snowblind can blind anyone in his vicinity (high level demons and sorcerers can protect themselves from Snowblind's blinding power). The field also increases Snowblind's physical abilities giving him enhanced toughness, speed, and strength, on par with Ghost Rider who has been shown to be able to lift five tons.

Powers and abilities

Snowblind can generate a mystical "white field" of light in which only he can see, but normal human beings cannot. Snowblind is blind except within his "white field." Ghost Rider can see within this field unless Snowblind turned part of it back upon himself. Snowblind has enhanced strength, endurance, and reflexes within this field of light.
