[Alexander Trafford]

Energy Necktie - Alex removes his standard silk necktie and augments it with energy - causing the necktie to extend slightly in length, becoming similar to an energy whip or chain. Practically useless and quite stupid to use as an attacking weapon in melee combat, rather it is best used as a limiting or disabling tool. Trafford with use to necktie to grab a body part, probably a limb, and restrain the user's use of that limb (because of the necktie, not a lasting effect). This opens up areas of the body for melee strikes. An example would be if Alex lashes out with his supercharged necktie and latches on to an enemy's left wrist. Holding the necktie taut he restrains the movement of that arm and thus opens up the left side of his foe for a hard punch to the ribs. While performing this technique, the hand that Trafford uses to hold the necktie becomes almost useless - because, while blocking and striking is still possible, the hand is busy holding the garment and will not be as effective.
