Capsule: Karnak is a member of the royal family of the Inhumans, a genetic offshoot of mankind that lives in the hidden city of Attilan. Each Inhuman possesses a superpower derived from exposure to a mutagenic known as the Terrigen Mist. Karnak has moderately superhuman physical attributes and, most importantly, the power to detect the weak points of any creature or structure.
Karnak is a philosopher and a scholar, the most level-headed and restrained of the Inhuman Royal Family next to Black Bolt. His personality is a direct contrast to that of his cousin and constant companion, Gorgon, with whom Karnak has a sort of friendly rivalry.

Notes: Since M&M lacks a proper "Find Weakness" ability, I chose to represent Karnak's ability as a variant of Drain Toughness (a Boost to his Strength or to the offensive powers of anyone he advises would also work, but would go against PL restrictions).
When Karnak attacks a larger structure after detecting it's stress point, the GM should maybe allow his attack to be considered an Area attack against the whole structure.
