Powers and abilities
Halflife is an extraterrestrial with the ability to age any living being, through touching, halfway to the point that he or she would eventually die of old age, through their full life span (one would presume "remaining" lifespan, thus stealing half of their life). Multiple contacts with Halflife result in death for the victim. However, the aging effect she has is not immediately permanent and if she loses consciousness fast enough (within a few minutes) her victims will revert to their normal ages.
Halflife also has the ability to manipulate the "weak force" to disintegrate inorganic material, including matter/energy constructs.
She has the ability to generate unspecified intense radiation, producing sufficient heat to melt steal.
Halflife possesses invulnerability to the effects of her own powers, as well as intense heat and atomic radiation. Her costume is made of alien materials that are proof against the effects of her power.

Fictional character biography
Half-Life was a vampire-like creature who drained life energy from living beings in order to sustain himself. In his natural state, he looked like a zombie, but when he absorbed a life he would temporarily appear young and handsome. He was even able to absorb the Hulk's superhuman strength. The Hulk still managed to defeat the creature by outsmarting it.
Through keen powers of observation, the Grey Hulk noticed that Half-Life was mentally ill and had ambivalent feelings about needing to kill innocent people to sustain his existence. The Hulk then used psychology to convince Tony Masterson to kill himself.
Appearances in other media
Video games
The second Half-Life was also featured in the Hulk video game for the PlayStation 2, Gamecube and Xbox. Hulk is a video-game based on the 2003 movie of the same name. The, often abbreviated as GCN, is Nintendo 's fourth home Video game console and is part of the sixth generation console era. The Xbox is a sixth-generation Video game console produced by Microsoft Corporation. This incarnation was the first level boss, and looked different from his comic incarnation: looking more like a bald-headed, vampire-like creature rather than the green-skinned zombie of the comics. In the game, Hulk must defeat Half-Life by throwing heavy objects at the vampire, because Half-Life can drain Hulk's strength through his three-fingered hands. Hulk believes he has killed Half-Life after gaining knowledge that Alcatraz is holding a hostage. Alcatraz Island, sometimes informally referred to as simply Alcatraz or locally as the Rock, is a small island located in the middle of San Francisco Bay Hulk throws the vampire into the water surrounding the prison, although Half-Life manages to swim to an underground set of tunnels, run by Hulk's nemesis, The Leader, where the brainy foe is creating gamma-irradiated soldiers. Half-Life II is later fought by the Hulk, simultaneously with Madman, later on in the game, when Hulk storms the Leader's complex. Madman ( Philip Sterns) is a Supervillain within the fictional Marvel Comics universe. Half-Life may have been killed when the cavern's ceiling collapsed and destroyed everything in the complex, although it is far more likely that Half-Life reached a transportation device to instantly transport out of the cavern.
