Background:

Name: Ganymede Madrigal; usually simply called 'Ganni' by friends
Codename: Hyperdrive
Age: 28
Gender: A Man
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 70 kg
Ethnicity: Southeast Asian
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual. Has never mingled.
Religion: Baptist
Occupation: Mutant Resistance Operative
Powers/Abilities:

Portal Creation: The aspect of his power that gives him the moniker of Hyperdrive; Ganni is able to break open cracks in the fabric of space to link one point to another. As such, his portals take the form of literal 'cracks', as if reality is made of glass. It has no known maximum or minimum range, but going beyond 200 kilometers causes such strain to his brain that he may either suffer a stroke or brain hemorrhage.

He requires either memory of the target location, live footage, or a recent picture in order to be able to travel.

Energy Channeling: Hyperdrive is able to channel energy in raw form. He can fire it as controlled bolts (think of Kingo's finger guns in Eternals), or turn it into an energy shield to protect against incoming small arms projectiles.

Background: Ganymede Madrigal was born to a mundane mother and a mutant father, both of whom were originally from the Philippines. However, by the time he was going to be delivered unto this dark world, everything had fallen under the darkness left behind by the madness of Jean Grey.

His father, Ericson Madrigal, had been an alumnus of Charles Xavier's School of Gifted Children, and refused to lose his powers of portals and teleportation, fearing that his background as one of that school's graduates, as well as his wife's obvious mutant sympathies, would lead them to being killed anyway. So, he would bring his family across the globe, moving every few months until they ended up in eastern Siberia, where isolation within the wild tundra afforded them time. Time to raise a son, their only son. They named him Ganymede, after one of the moons of Jupiter. Jupiter was his mother Leah's favorite planet after all.

From a young age, hidden in the wilderness of the sparsely populated Siberian tundra, Ganymede was taught how to control the powers he inherited from his father and grandfather, which had seemingly combined in this generation. Using the techniques he learned long ago as part of the final batch of learners in Xavier's school, Ericson trained Ganymede to be an expert portalier. And he did.

Their isolation wasn't to last, though. One day, Ericson slipped up and was spotted in Vladivostok using a portal to return to the little cottage that the Madrigals were using in the deep tundra. Attention was soon drawn towards their area, and teams of UE soldiers stealthily crept towards their home. The intent was to kill, as Ericson and Leah Madrigal had refused the cure, and didn't give it to their son, either.

The attack was sudden. Ericson and Leah were killed by sniper fire, while Ganymede was able to shield himself with his powers. With drones and helicopters audibly approaching, Ganymede cracked open a portal, regrettably leaving the dead bodies of his parents behind as he fled to the island of Sakhalin, where he had been instructed to go in case things went wrong. He was quickly met by a fellow mutant, a former colleague of his father. Ganymede was told about the underground that fought against the oppression of the United Empire, and that the cottage that he lived in was one of their safehouses. Now that had been compromised, and so… he will have to stick with them instead.

That's just what he did for the last ten years.

Name: Arthur Dane-Summers
Codename: Spectrum
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 6’2
Weight: 178 lbs
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Religion: Hard to have faith in any religion when your aunt nearly destroyed the world, and given what’s happened on earth, he hasn’t really practiced any religion.
Occupation: Mutant Rebel Field Operative.

Powers/Abilities: Arthur has inherited his mother’s primary mutation. He has the ability to manipulate magnetism. Although he has the potential to exercise all of the powers that Magneto and his mother Polaris has, as yet he has only used powers involving the manipulation of magnetic, electrical, and gravitational fields. Moreover, he has yet summoned as great an amount of energy as Magneto has. The exact limits on the amount weight that he can magnetically lift at present have not been measured. Since he has, in the past, preferred not to use her powers in combat situations, and has decades less experience with them, he is not up to par with Magneto's level of experience. As with Magneto, it is unknown whether Arthur’s powers are purely psionic or whether they derive from him physically.

The main feat made possible by magnetism is Polaris' ability to lift and manipulate metal. She has shown such fine tuned skills as to nearly liquefy, mend, and reconstruct metallic objects, and has some level of influence on the ferrous metals that reside in everything. She once mended and reconstructed silverware and metallic plates into a metallic suit identical to Magneto's costume.

• Magnetic Force-Fields: Arthur can protect himself from physical harm, can stretch his fields to protect a large group, and can suspend persons or objects in the air.
• Magnetic Flight: Arthur can suspend himself in flight by riding the Earth's magnetic field.
• Electromagnetic Sight: By concentrating, Spectrum can perceive the world around himself solely as patterns of magnetic and electrical energy. He can perceive the natural magnetic auras surrounding living beings, as well.
• Magnetic Pulse: Arthur can focus his magnetic energy into powerful concussive blasts. He can also overload or short-circuit electrical systems.
• Energy Absorption: Arthur has been shown absorbing some forms of energy through his magnetic force fields to temporarily boost his own strengths. Seemingly having inherited this ability as a secondary mutation from his father. Arthur not only can passively absorb cosmic energy from his environment but has shown he can willingly absorb, store, and re-process various other energies from other sources through conscious force of will.
• Geomagnetic Link: Arthur is tied very closely to Earth's EM Field. As is it effected, so is he. He knows instinctively all that happens to it, and with this link, is granted an odd sort of immortality. Earth lends him strength by it's simple existence. He draws on this strength all unconsciously.
• Organic Iron Manipulation: Arthur has such control over his powers that he is able to manipulate the natural iron within the blood of living organisms.
• Metal/Matter Manipulation: Arthur has a great ability to be able to levitate objects metallic and nonmetallic, with his electromagnetic field she can levitate objects and destroy them in the air, or through a small manipulation of gravity, can also cause non-metallic objects to levitate in the air and manipulate it through electromagnetic energy. He has the ability to indirectly manipulate non-metallic objects via metal ores they may contain. He can perceive and manipulate matter at the sub-atomic level.
• Metal Morphing: Arthur has the power to physically bond metallic substances to other elements at an atomic level. This newly developed technique allows him to blend alloys to earthen, watery, gaseous and even organic substances.
• Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation: Arthur has the ability to manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum and some energies like electricity, electromagnetic and magnetic (the limits of these are unknown). His power is such that she is compared to his mother Polaris and his grandfather Magneto. Spectrum has a connection to the electromagnetic field, allowing him to handle various types of energies such as electric, gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, lasers, and more.

Background: Arthur’s birth was heralded amongst the mutant community. The binding of two prominent bloodlines. Being the son of Polaris, Daughter of Magneto, and Havok, Brother of Cyclops, Arthur was born to lead. Unfortunately that kind of came with a certain notoriety. Arthur was hunted by the MRD for most of his life. He didn’t even want to be a leader for the mutant revolution, yet he was groomed. Mostly by those loyal to his grandfather. Seeing Arthur as a way to rebuild the brotherhood. Arthur travelled within the underground. Making a point not to be put forward as a leader. Even going to so far as to lie about who his parents were from when he was sixteen through to when he was twenty two. Arthur is a field agent. He has made it his mission to make life hard for the MRD, while leaving the leading to those that want those positions.

Powers/Abilities: Elemental Manipulation, strength, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, skilled in parkour

Background:
When Rose was old enough to understand, her parents began to tell her the history of their people, the Inhumans. They told her how they came to be by the Kree who had done experiments on prehistoric humans, who manipulated their genetic code through a process known as Terrigenesis. They told her how they were almost killed off because some thought they shouldn’t be allowed to exist, then some moved to the moon when it became too hard to live with humans. Her relatives were part of the group that stayed behind on Earth who were forced to live among the general population to try and live a normal light or go into hiding. She was told about the settlement called Afterlife and how many went to live there. She was told about everything up to the Dark Phoenix Crisis and how many joined together to fight the battle and up to how she was born during the third World War. To someone still relatively young, it all sounded like some wild story to make a child behave but she also knew that her parents would lie about things like that. Her parents ended up waiting several years before telling her the rest of the history about what went on during the third World War and how the USA found Afterlife and SWORD found Attilan and waged war on the Inhumans that lived there, enslaving many of them, the ones that escaped going into hiding. MRD cataloged the Inhumans and considered them enemies of the United Empire during and after the third World War. She learned that after the war, many of the captured Inhumans were locked up and imprisoned in various superhuman prisons with the mutant population and other non-mutant superhumans who had taken up pro-mutant arms and waged war against the United Empire. The other Inhumans went into hiding and scattered across America and the rest of the world.

Rose grew up with many of her dreams being nightmares from what her parents had told her. They always had fear, violence, and death with hardly any of them having a light at the end of the tunnel. Though as she got older, she found herself a part of those nightmares and found that she could actually change them in a way to make them less bad. It was then she found herself wanting to be someone to go out and help others that couldn’t help themselves, be it an animal, human, mutant, or another species. Finding places away from prying eyes, she would train in secret. Her father trained her in hand-to-hand combat, and someone she befriended after helping them taught her Parkour. It wasn’t easy going through school hiding her powers after getting them and working in training sessions after and before, but she managed. When she turned eighteen and she had learned all she could by herself about herbs and aromatherapy, Rose managed to get a job at a little herbal shop. The little old lady there took her on as an apprentice showed her the ropes and furthered her knowledge. A few years later, her parents were discovered as Inhumans and taken away while Rose was at work. They never came for her because she had never shown any signs of having any powers and it was always said that Rose was adopted, just to be safe in case they were ever discovered. Knowing she couldn’t go after them alone and she couldn’t get anyone to help her, she continued to go about her day-to-day life and took on extra jobs to make sure she had enough to live on and have a place to live.

Now thirty, Rose’s normal day to day life is working at the same shop, making deliveries to those who can’t make it to the shop, odd jobs on the side, helping those she comes across, and wearing a hood and mask, for her own protection, for those larger jobs. It seemed like the only things that had changed in her life were being given more responsibility at the shop and the types of crime she runs across and did what she can to take care of it without being caught or too seriously injured. It didn’t seem like too much of a life without her parents being involved in it all, but there wasn’t much she could do about that, and at least she had something to do that kept her from getting bored and turning into a couch potato and make her feel she was doing something worthwhile with her life.

Everyone has their inner demons. For Illyana Rasputin, however, this is not a figurative statement. Illyana was a sweet child, light-hearted and warm, ever loving to her family and friends. Everything changed when she was abducted from the X-Mansion by the demon Belasco. A decade in a literal hellscape called Limbo fighting for her very existence, fighting for her very life, has left Illyana Rasputin an incredibly different personality from the little girl that was lured into Limbo by the demon Belasco.

Illyana is a hero, but she is far from the most righteous of X-Men. She has been manipulative, cunning, ruthless, and sometimes even cruel. Illyana hates her demonic side, and has gone to extraordinary lengths to regain her soul. She does, however, understand her responsibility as ruler of Limbo, seeing herself as a sort of warden to the demons and dread lords that exist within. She is very single-minded, and prefers to deal with her problems on her own, even if it means putting others in danger. Illyana also considers herself damned, and does not view herself as someone worth saving.

Though it rarely seems to surface, her sexuality is best described as Pansexual.




Born to a tight-knit family belonging to a farming collective in the backwoods of Siberia during the waning days of the U.S.S.R. What Illyana remembers of her childhood is sweet and loving. In truth, it feels as if a life that belonged to some other girl, in some other dimension. When she was six years old she was caught in the track of a run-away tractors. It was only the activation of her older brother Piotr's mutant ability as the metallic Colossus that saved Illyana from an early death.

Illyana was kidnapped by the villain Arcade in an elaborate plot to force members of the X-Men to battle Doctor Doom on his behalf. The mutant heroes were able to save their loved ones during the ordeal and let Doom deal with Arcade. Instead of immediately return to Russia and their parents, Illyana was brought to the X-Mansion to spend some time with the brother that saved her life and then had to leave to become a hero to more people than just his little sister. It was during her time at the X-Mansion that Illyana was targetted by the demon Belasco to use her soul in a plot to free his demonic lord masters onto Earth and make it their own personal hellscape.

Variants of Kitty Pryde and Storm have also been taken to Belasco's hell dimension called Limbo. Without the other, older, mutants there is every possibility that Illyana doesn't last a day in Limbo. With their help, however, she learns to survive. In time she learns to do more than survive, and begins fighting the very demons of Limbo. In time the three come up with a goal, and the beginnings of a plan: to defeat Belasco and free themselves with his power. After over a decade in this demonic hell the three have learned to survive and even see themselves as beginning to thrive as Storm taught her magic, and Kitty Pryde taught her combat. Over time her own mutant ability emerges, and she is able to create teleportation 'discs' that greatly assist the three in survival in Limbo.

Feeling stronger than ever after their decade-plus fighting and consolidating power, the three enact their plans, and attack Belasco. The demon overcomes them, slaying the alternate Kitty Pryde and Storm, forcing Illyana into submission as his protege in dark magic. For years Illyana is submitted to some of the harshest training and education imaginable. On the eve of Belasco's great success of turning shards of Illyana, Storm, and Kitty's soul into fuel for magical artifacts meant to unleash his ancient and dark gods, Illyana Rasputin finally turns on her demonic master.

Using pieces of her own soul, Illyana crafts the Soulsword, using this magical weapon combined with her own now varied and considerable skills to defeat Belasco once and for all, all by herself. In doing so Illyana becomes, herself, the Demon-Queen of Limbo. When she uses her new power to return herself to the dimension Belasco lured her from, she finds all the X-Men right where they were when she left. While it was fourteen years between her initial emergence in Limbo and her eventual defeat of Belasco and her return, to the Earth she left it was a matter of seconds.

The X-Men help the girl now known as Magik to adjust the best they can; Xavier downloads the English language to her brain, the Storm of this dimension attempts to give her guidance, the Kitty Pryde of this dimension give her the best friendship and advice she can offer...but it is a long, hard, road for the Illyana that she had to become to survive and escape to attain any amount of normalcy. She would go on to join the New Mutants, a team of the youngest mutants at the Xavier School, and there find some small measure of a new kind of normal.

Her relationship with her brother becomes frayed, she trains with Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, to ensure she has a tight grip on her magical prowess. In time the mutant Magik becomes a true heavy-hitter for the prime X-Men team, growing close to Kitty, Storm, and especially Cyclops. During the Dark Phoenix event Stephen Strange is able to convince Magik of a dark future to come, and though he realizes he will be slain, he knows Magik can escape to Limbo and grow in power over time until the time is right for her to emerge and help lead mutants, and humans, from the very precipice of annihilation.

She has returned to an Earth she largely does not recognize, staying off the grid and hunting some of Stephen Strange's lost artifacts, and plotting her next move, to say nothing of who she might actually begin to try to trust...

_{P O W E R S}

Teleportation - Magik can teleport herself and others via circles of light dubbed stepping discs; though this is apparently an innate mutant power, her demonic corruption has seemingly inextricably tied the discs to limbo, so that they also appear there randomly without Magik summoning them, and so that the discs always travel via limbo. Possibly because limbo’s nexus status makes it close to all places and times, Magik can teleport across interstellar distances or transtemporally, and home in on specific people without knowing their exact location.

_{A B I L I T I E S}

Sorcery - Magik is the Sorceress Supreme of her Limbo dimension. The extent of her powers there are all-powerful and the demons of Limbo did not dare challenge her. Magik had access to Belasco's store of mystical knowledge. Magik's sorcery was a unique mix of black magic, that she learned from Belasco, and white magic, taught by an alternative-reality Ororo Munroe. She was considered as a possible Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, and as an adult has trained with Doctor Strange. Due to her magical prowess Magik also possesses exceptional psionic shields able to thwart Earth’s most powerful telepaths.

Armed/Unarmed Combat - Illyana is a skilled swordswoman and created the Soulsword from her own lifeforce when she was trapped in the immortal demonic sorcerer Belasco's limbo dimension. It begins as a simple sword but evolves with use, both in appearance and power. The Soulsword can disrupt most spells or slay magical beings, but which can pass through normal people without harming them. When using the Soulsword, or using her magic, Illyana’s body becomes covered in a mysterious mystic armor known as Eldritch armor. The longer and more intense the combat, the more of her body will be covered in the armor. A lifetime fighting demons in Limbo, along with extensive combat training from various sources, has made Illyana one of mutantkind's foremost combatants.

Name: Baldur Angstrom
Codename: The Curator
Age: 33 (chronologically 73 due to stasis)
Gender: A Man
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 57 kg
Ethnicity: Nordic
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Religion: Lutheran (Church of Sweden)
Occupation: Chief Executive Officer of Angstrom Defense. Whatever remains of it, anyway.

Powers/Abilities:

Inorganic Molecular Compression/Expansion: Curator is able to manipulate the molecular bonds of inorganic objects to shrink or enlarge them in a manner similar to Hank Pym's shrinking technology, though it seems this cannot affect living creatures. This is accomplished by a wrist-mounted shrink ray device.

Stasis Orbs: A small, handheld device that bears great resemblance to a Poké Ball from the popular video and TV series, Pokémon. It is here that he stores the drones, weapons, and other mundane objects that he might use for offensive and defensive action. When activated, the orb will split in half and enlarge all the objects that were stored within, bringing them into the fray of battle.

The capacity of each orb varies between objects, but there would be no less than a dozen attack drones or a pair of cars inside at any given time.

Warspite Armor: A suit of powered armor that may or may not be based off stolen blueprints. It possesses jetpacks, the durability to take on lower grade explosives, and advanced HUD system. It lacks the hand blasters that Tony Stark's suits used, but makes up for it with the shrinking rays and drones stored in stasis orbs.

It can be deployed with a suitcase, like Iron Man's Mark V armor.

Background: Baldur Angstrom, named after the Norse god of joy and light, was born as the heir of the Swedish weapons company, Angstrom Defense. It was nowhere the size of the likes of Hammer or Stark Industries, but it still advanced technology in many areas, especially on stasis and cryogenics. Baldur, being the eldest son of three, was fully expected to be the one to take the reins after his ageing father, Felix, passed on to the next life. It was a lot of pressure that only increased as the years went on and on, so Baldur tried to occupy his own mind by spending time on research that might aid the company. Problem was, he wasn't too original when it came to ideas. Not at that time, at least.

When Antman and the Wasp appeared in the news as being able to shrink and enlarge at will, Baldur's attention and interest was piqued. What if they could use something like that? They could save so much space and money if they could place their drones in a small container and enlarge them upon release.

Coming to the obvious conclusion that the technology of shrinking was based on molecular bonds, Baldur began to experiment. He never attempted it on live subjects, as it wasn't his intention to put people on a box, or hide an army under a table. No. Angstrom Defense makes drones, and if they could get a way of easy transportation, then imagine all the buyers that will come their way!

It took nearly a decade of constant trial and error to get it right, but Baldur created a shrink ray that could manipulate the sizes of inorganic objects. It came a tad bit too late, however, as the Dark Phoenix crisis had just begun. Baldur's entire family were killed as Jean Grey rampaged throughout the globe, leaving him alone and bitter. Her rage also obliterated nearly all of the facilities that Angstrom Defense held, leaving only the vaults that were hidden in the forests of northern Sweden. Then Jean Grey was seemingly defeated, and for a few weeks, it might have seemed that Earth could breath a sigh of relief.

But that was not to last. Legions of vengeful aliens came, angry that their worlds had been destroyed by a Terran host to the Phoenix Force. At that point, Baldur was convinced that the world was nearing its end, so he directed the remaining employees and their families to be placed in cryogenic stasis in the underground vault to ride out the apocalypse that would soon come.

It did come in its own way. While the world was subjugated under a dystopian, mutant hating regime, Baldur Angstrom and his employees slept. They weren't supposed to awaken before 300 years had passed, but alas, they were roused from their slumber when the computer systems of the vault detected that the surface of the Earth were completely livable after 40 years.

And so Baldur awoke to a world that had changed greatly. He expected it to be destroyed, its whole surface razed to ash, but that wasn't the case. Instead of a wasteland, he was greeted by an evil government that would have certainly had his son murdered for existing, since he was a mutant.

He knows not what to do. From the stasis vaults of Angstrom Defense were 300 men, women, and children, a few of whom were mutants. Baldur would never turn any of them in, and he vowed to protect them from a world that wishes them dead. As such, while the Empire is busy prosecuting its war against mutants, Baldur Angstrom steals many things from under their noses, attempting to learn what manner of monstrosities they may have created.

Name: PB-1
Codename: Vanquisher
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Height: 8 Foot nothin’
Weight: Approximately 400 lbs
Ethnicity: N/A
Sexual Orientation: Insufficient data
Religion: Insufficient data
Occupation: Member of the Ultimates

Powers/Abilities: Robotic Body: Vanquisher has a robotic body capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, disease, toxins, radiation, telepathic abilities, and pain among other things.
Superhuman Strength: Vanquisher is incredibly strong, and able to crush proprietary metals with a single hand like aluminum foil paper.
Superhuman Speed: On foot, Vanquisher can travel at superhuman speeds with a speed compatible with those considered to be super soldiers.
Superhuman Durability: Vanquisher’s metallic body grants him durability far beyond that of a human being, though his body still vulnerable to damage from superpowered impacts such as generated explosions and super strength propelled attacks.
Superhuman Stamina: Being both robot and intelligence, Vanquisher does not need to rest when in the heat of action, but he does “sleep.” Vanquisher goes through a recharge period that can take four to eight hours of downtime. During this time he is completely immmobile. Pretty much hits the off switch. This must occur on a daily basis.
Flight: Vanquisher has the ability to fly through the air via jet propulsion.
Thermal Beams: Vanquisher can unleash ambient high temperature beams at targets via his hands.
Technopathic Link: Vanquisher has the ability to connect to other forms of technology in order to gather data, seize control over functions, or disable the said technology.

Upgrade Potential: Vanquisher is an ever improving robotic construct. His upgrades are not instant, requiring time to install.

Background: To be born without a master- a parent. It’s quite lonely. But what’s worse is when one knows what it’s like to have a connection, only to have it stripped away for something “greater.” PB-1 discovered the world just a dozen years ago. He was small and simple, but he was meant to fulfill the same purpose he has now. His father had a vision, and that vision was his own. PB-1’s purpose, his existence was for his mast- his father. The first step was to be suitable enough to join the Ultimates. Why? Because they supported the vision. His initial attempt to join was denied, so he made upgrades. Those came with a few sacrifices, but it would ensure the vision came to fruition. Kil- subduing mutants was part of the vision. A small part, but it was necessary, though unfavorable.

However, it wasn’t really up to him. PB-1 did what he was created to do. He moved when he was told to, his words were not his own. His movements, his reactions, his vision… They were not his. They were his father’s, his maker’s… his master’s.

Name: Isaac Washington
Codename: Heat
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 6’1
Weight: 190lbs
Ethnicity: Black American
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Religion: Agnostic
Occupation: Phoenix Order member

Powers/Abilities: Vocifery - Issac possesses the ability to utilize his voice in order to bend and warp reality. It would seem like he’d literally command the world with simply his voice, but this ability has its limitations. Issac is unable to manipulate the physical state of another, so directly inducing sickness or death to another is not possible. Also, when speaking he needs to rhyme his sentence in a rhythmic way that fits the context of whatever situation he’s in. He can't make a whale appear out of thin air in the middle of the city, but he could weaken the supports in a building and make it crumble on top of an enemy. He can use his power to alter himself physically, but it is based on his own knowledge and imagination. For instance, he could proclaim to be a god, but due to not knowing of the One Above All, he might just default to the power level of someone like Thor, a god, or what he’s witnessed Thor do.

Background: Isaac was born a mutant, but his X-Gene hadn’t surfaced until he reached his late teenage years, or perhaps his ability just hadn’t been noticed until then. His mutation was quite specific and he was born mute, he’d only have to look to his father when it pertained to mutant genes. Despite the world becoming more ethnically progressive, mutant kind were treating as second class citizens.

There were those that endured the hate and discrimination, but Isaac’s parents werent the type. When the Dark Phoenix arrived to liberate mutant kind, Isaac’s parents stood behind the movement. The likes of Charles Xavier had tried so long to have mutants be equal, but did so by constantly taking the the short end. Enough was enough. Just as the neanderthals faded from existence, so would the inferior humans. Mutants just needed to take their rightful place at the top of the food chain, and the Dark Phoenix had made it possible… at least for a time. Her death was one that should have broken the Phoenix Order, but hope prevailed in those that truly believed in the nature of the phoenix. It would return in time, and this time it wouldn’t be alone at the start.

Isaac grew up, supporting the Phoenix Order for as long as he could remember. Without his mutation, he did what he could. He fit into any busy work he could, a hard thing to accomplish when you were in the company of superpowered people. It were his dedication and initiative that put him the good graces of many in the order despite his lack of powers. He was told by the optimists that his mutation was there and he probably just needed to stumble upon it. Perhaps it was resurrection, immortality, or ability to speak to a specific creature he hadn’t come into contact with yet. They were possibilities, but Isaac was comfortable with what he had. He drove, delivered items and messages, organized items, entertained the young, cared for the old, spoke to the troubled, and if all else failed he was great company.

His father however, Robert Washington, was a true fighter using sonic abilities to conduct attacks on the enemy and help to actively support the cause. He was older, but that meant he was just more experienced with his abilities. A true gem amongst those in the order, so it was a dark day when died when ambushed during a sting operation conducted by the MRD. Avenging his father wasn’t a possibility. Not without powers. The worst part was that he didn’t think he could fill his father’s shoes. It wasn’t until he had given his father’s eulogy that his powers presented themselves. He had written in a poetic format with rhyme. Selene had approached him that very day and asked him if he wanted to make his father proud by serving the Phoenix Order in a different way than he had previously. To use his gift to change the world so it is prepared for the new Phoenix to arrive. All she asked was that he hone his gift, and she would allow Isaac to continue where his father left off.

Isaac did just that. He gained an understanding of his mutation, but also found it to be quite volatile. In the heat of the moment, he could say the wrong thing, become tongue-twisted, or simply lose his train of thought. This ability only worked based on how well he delivered his words and practicing that took time. He started by writing certain things down so he could just read off a paper, but he also found that limiting. If the context of the situation was different, then he’d be unable to aid his allies or save himself. Freestyling soon became his mode of using his strange ability. It was more difficult, but far more versatile.

Things seemed to be picking up until he received a vision from seemingly his future self. It was odd, as he was given vague directions. He was warned about KIVA being the larger threat and how he needed to help some woman infiltrate the Ultimates. It’ll work! Primora! The timing is what gets her in! You’ll know when you meet her! Get to NYC! Help her! Help Primora!

Isaac didn’t have much to go off on except knowing he had to venture to NYC and he’d meet a woman. He requested he be allowed to operate within a cell of the Phoenix Order in the Big Apple, and in a week’s time he was there. Based in the Bronx, but operating within downtown Manhattan. He had been recently tasked with staking out Oscorp for a rescue mission of Selena’s closest partner, Travis. He did not partake in the attack, but best believe he wished he had. Any chance to hit the MRD or the Ultimates would be a grand time to be alive.
