Name - Anders Swanson
Alias - None yet
Age - 22
Powers -
-Persuasion: Anders is able to convince people to do thing through the sound of his voice. This power allows him to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. However, powerful minds have proven immune to his charm. (That and ear plugs)
-Energy Manipulation: Anders can tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy by touching it. When he thus charges an object and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on contact. (Though he isn't as skilled with this as his persuasion ability)
-Agility: ability to tap into energy also grants him superhuman agility and dexterity, as well as creating a static interference that shields his mind from detection and intrusion by even the most powerful telepaths.

BRIEF Bio -
Anders had a fairly typical childhood. Though his parents died when he was 18, so he had to go into independence faster then he would have liked. He went through the motions of trying to make something of himself, going to college for a bit getting a job that type of thing. 9 months ago, he discovered that his voice had a certain affect on people when he wanted it to. He has taken full advantage of that and has found his way into money and women. His lack of caution will most likely catch the attention of different individuals.

Key Differences - There are several differences between him and gambit. Gambit does not seem to focus solely on one of his abilities so that is one large difference.
