Midas

Midas, aka Daniel, is a SuperNaturals member who can selectively turn anything touching himself into gold at will. He can also turn himself into gold and back, and while he can't turn other things back into their non-gold forms, evidence suggests that his powers could be technologically supplemented to allow this. Already Telekineticlops has developed a special glove that allows Daniel to turn things into other metals that are near gold on the periodic table. A side effect of his original power, which he discovered much later, allows him to sense gold ore in the ground and control it telekinetically, though this ability only applies to naturally occurring gold and not stuff he has turned into gold.

Daniel got his original powers when he was nearly poisoned to death when 100 mg of gold leaf was injected into his bloodstream while he was being pummeled by gamma rays in a very strange kidnapping. Instead of dying, as his kidnapper planned, Daniel passed out, then turned the sinister contraption poisoning him into gold, then escaped. He likes to avoid direct combat, but does enjoy infiltrating a situation and then calculating the best object(s) to gild at the best moment, usually to impressive results. He can be especially clever when working alongside Mirror Coat. Daniel is also very rich since he can turn a granola bar into a gold bar and then sell it, but he doesn't do that too often on any one planet because it would overinflate an economy pretty quickly.
