;Invulnerability: Blain is impervious to harm from all known sources, including bullets, edged weapons, electricity and fire.
;Super Strength:
;Wind Manipulation: Control of the wind grants Blain the ability to fly and pick up objects using the air around him.

Some time after [[Calamity]] had come, Blain Charleston's wife and home were destroyed by an unnamed Epic. He survived with his son, [[David Charleston|David]]. Still, Blain was very adamant that "good" Epics would come to save them.
They had a funeral for Blain's wife some time after this. David later remarked that this was the only time he heard his father raise his voice.{{book ref|Steelheart|prologue}}
Two years after Calamity had come, Blain attempted to withdraw a large sum of money from [[First Union Bank (Newcago)|First Union Bank]]. He brought with him all he had as collateral, but the mortgage man claimed that it was not enough. Blain protested that the previous person he had talked with had said it would be enough, but this mortgage would not agree. During this time, [[Deathpoint]] entered the bank, and began killing people. Blain attempted to sneak towards one of the fallen guard's guns, in an attempt to kill Deathpoint. Deathpoint saw Blain before he could shoot the gun, but Blain was saved by [[Steelheart (Epic)|Steelheart]]. However, when Steelheart claimed that he was the emperor of the Chicago, and that anyone who did not serve him would die, Blain spoke up and said that Steelheart was better than the other Epics were, and that he was there to save them.
Because Blain was already dead when Steelheart turned the city into steel during the [[Great Transfersion]], Blain's body was turned into steel. When the Reckoners found the buried First Union Bank, David discovered Blain's steel corpse.
In the alternate reality with Firefight, Blain Charleston had actually become Steelheart. He had the same power portfolio, but he fought evil instead of ruling Newcago. He wore the same outfit that Steelheart had worn in the "real" world, but included the Faithful's symbol on the front.{{book ref|Calamity|50}} Sometime after [[Invocation]] arrived,
When David brought Calamity into this alternate reality, Calamity saw the love and kindness in Blain. This caused Calamity to question his assumptions about humanity, and he stopped influencing the Epics in the "real" world to do evil.{{book ref|Calamity|51}}
After Calamity was gone, Blain was able to restart a relationship with David, thanks to [[Megan Tarash|Megan's]] powers.
