He also has enhanced reflexes and equilibrium, allowing him to hold almost any position. _Wall crawling_ Because of the radioactive spider, Parker developed microscopic hooks all over his body that he can expose of hide at will. While primarily used on his hands and sometimes feet, They are also used to keep his mask from falling off. These microscopic hooks can cling on to nearly any surface, and only has difficulty scaling things coated in thick, gooey liquids. _Web Shooting_ Parker has the ability to shoot webs out of his wrists, and use them as ropes to swing from location to location. The webs are extremely durable, and can be used in a multitude of ways. While he can run out of webbing to use, it is a rare occurrence that only happens when Parker fails to have enough protein in his body. _Spider Sense_ A heightened danger sense of sorts, the spider sense allows Parker to stay safe from immediate danger. On occasion, his spider sense has overridden his reflexes to keep him from dying. Appearance: Special skills: -_Genius Level intellect._ Parker has an IQ of 250 and is academically gifted. He soars in science, and has a strong affinity for it. -_Master Acrobat_ -_Master at several hand to hand combat styles_ Background: Born in Queens, New York, Peter Parker is the son to SHIELD agents Richard and Mary Parker. At a young and unmemorable age, Parker's parents were killed on a mission, and Peter was handed over to his aunt and uncle, Ben and May Parker. They never told him anything of his parent's involvement with SHIELD, in hopes of having him lead a normal childhood. Of course, his genius intellect and uncanny knack for inventing made him a popular child, even if it was more like notoriety. At the age of fifteen, Peter went on a field trip to Oscorp, the corporation belonging to the father of his long-time friend, Harry Osborn. During the field trip, Parker encountered a radioactive spider, which bit him and mutated him. Soon after, he was given the abilities of a spider. While startled about the abilities at first, he quickly grew to loving them, and became the superhero known as Spiderman. SHIELD was quick to pick up on the Parker child, and monitored him and his superhero activities. It wasn't until Peter became eighteen that SHIELD confronted him and offered to let him into their ranks. He was quick to accept, and learned the tricks of the trade at a rapid pace. Additional notes: -Since being inducted into SHIELD, Parker has stopped using his original Spider-man suit, and has instead begun to use a [New Suit](http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/241/4/3/miles_morales__ultimate_spider_man__by_spidermonkey23-d7x4h20.jpg) while on the job. -Parker has also been known to not use any suit at all if the job requires that he need to be in different attire.

Full name: Pietro Maximoff Codename: Quicksilver Age: 22 From: London, England Mutations: Able to run at speeds close to the speed of sound (770 mph). Has frictional and wind resistance when doing so. Appearance:  Special skills: Was trained specifically in jeet kune do for maximum efficiency with high speed attacks. Has more than natural ability in theft and training in breaking security systems. Background: A foster child since birth, Pietro has always had problems with authority figures. He was constantly caught stealing or causing some other level of mischief. Once his powers manifested however Pietro was on the verge of planning much bigger heists and other crimes to gain enough personal wealth to live well. This all changed however when he was met with an older man. He claimed he was Pietro's natural father and awaited this moment in the young man's life. The experience for Pietro was all at once confusing and infuriating, but he played along wanting to find out if the old man was speaking the truth. He was brought to an underground bunker in the Midwest US filled with other mutants. Where the old man spoke of their time coming and other cult like things. Pietro was unamused and convinced that if this man WAS his father, that he was better off without him. After making a quick escape he was found by members of the Project. Leaving behind his minor criminal ways was a bit difficult for Pietro, but it became easier as he started to exceed in training and even enjoy himself. All in all this was partially finding his cause in life, and partly rebelling against daddy. Additional notes: Owns a small one bedroom apartment and a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. Though he likes the car and will use it, he must prefers running. Much MUCH quicker and always more fun to him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Full name: Nathaniel Reed Richards Codename: Dr. Fantastic Age: 26 From: Liverpool, England Mutations: Able to stretch up to three miles long, while also able to compress, reshape, inflate, flatten, and any other kinds of elastic abilities at will. Appearance:  Special skills: An intellectual genius of an extremely high caliber, Nathan holds doctorates in numerous degrees and countless other degrees in almost all forms of science. Also partial to billiards, darts, and other pub sports... despite not being much of a drinker. Background: Nathaniel Reed Richards is an interesting case in terms of people serving under Project: X-Men. Raised in the heart of England, the young man showcased right from an early age an incredible knack for science and technology. Being able to create and innovate even from an early age. That said not too much is really known about him. For a long time Nathan tended to keep to himself. Wasn't very social outside of the schools he would regularly graduate from early. Even if his very friendly and excitable nature would suggest otherwise. When Nathan moved to America to further his studies it was when he first met Susan Storm. He was fascinated by her stunning beauty and equally beautiful smarts. Though at this time she spent half her time in school and the other half working at a store Nathan began frequenting, more so just to talk to her than for any other real reason. He finally worked up his own courage and asked her out on a date. Leading to a relationship between the two. Finally one night Nathan brought her up to his messy but still somehow organized apartment wanting to show her something important. A spacecraft that Nathan believed would revolutionized traveling through the stars. He wanted Susan to join him on its maiden voyage. It was on that faithful first test however the two encountered a rare cosmic shower coming around Earth. The ship wasn't properly protected as much as Nathan planned. Causing him to have to bring it in for an early landing. It was then that the two discovered after a day's time the ship had radiated their molecular structures. Causing the both of them to develop superpowers. Soon after Project: X-Men came around wanting them to join. They both did, but Reed to this day still regrets what he did to Susan, wanting to make things right somehow. Still, Nathan quite enjoys his new life. He is one of the heads of Dr. McCoy's research and development labs despite his young age, and even makes it a habit to go out on missions. After all, all work and no play makes Nathan bored, and the offices know what kind of things happen when Nathan gets bored... here's a hint, usually it involves explosions or something crazy in the name of science. Additional notes: The only real field of training Nathan has no passing score in is firearms training. Nathan very strongly is against guns and that level of violence. Although not having a passing score in every study for agent work typically means not being allowed to have agent work. Nathan was given special permission for it due to the usefulness of his powers, as well as his immense knowledge.

 Full name: Susan 'Storm' Richards Codename: Invisible Woman Age: 25 From: Brooklyn, New York. Mutations: _**Invisibility:**_ Susan has the mental ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy for a variety of effects, including the rendering of herself and other objects invisible, and the construction of solid, invisible force fields. In an as yet unknown manner, cosmic energy interacts with the cells of her entire body in such a way as to produce a new form of energy with unusual properties. _**Force Fields:**_ Susan's second ability is to produce a certain energy manifestation, the cells of her brain produce a different, more potent manifestation. Through concentration, she is able to project a field of psionic force. She can manipulate into a number of relatively simple forms: rectangular planes, cylinders, globes, domes, cones, and so on. Special skills: Susan is an expert at lying to others, because she is a great actress and is trying to do big with movies and such. She is also capable of hand to hand combat, but isn't that good, normal type. Yes, Susan is book smart and street smart, very intelligent but not highly like someone she knows. *cough* Nathan. *cough* Background: Susan was born in Brooklyn, New York. Yes, the hood. There were many bad things that happened there but her parent-mother managed to keep her alive and well. Years later, she grew up to be a beautiful young lady, and people always thought that she was a geeky girl because she never went out with friends, always studied, always in the library... and well she goes to school and comes back home. It's not that her parents didn't let her... they actually wanted for her to go out there and be social, but she didn't want too. What was the reason why she didn't want to do that? Oh because people could actually make fun of the girl. And that was something that she didn't want to do, by that time she wore big around glasses, her mother didn't have enough money for another.. decent looking glasses. But they were the only ones that was use for her. Years passed, Susan was now a young adult.. her parents were dead, may they rest in peace. Her mother died because of a disease and her father.. well he wasn't never there for her, so. And from there... Susan got a job .. far from New york, and she received her mutation powers in space. [You guys know the rest, if I have to write it, tell me. Lol] Additional notes: Susan has a younger brother named, Jonny Storm. She is also dating a guy known as Nathan Richards.

Full name: Riley LeBeau Codename: Gambit Age: 24 From: Louisiana Mutations: Gambit is a mutant who has the ability to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to pure light pink-colored kinetic energy thus “charging” that item with highly explosive results. She prefers to charge smaller objects, such as her ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for her to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object: the larger it is the more time it takes to charge. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of her explosions is dependent on the mass of the object she is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade. Gambit can also use her mutant abilities to accelerate an object's kinetic energy instead of converting its potential energy; for example, she can charge her Bo staff with enough kinetic energy and power to level a house. Gambit's ability to tap kinetic energy also grants her incredible superhuman physical abilities (strength, speed, reflexes and reactions, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance), as her body constantly generates bio-kinetic energy and so is perfectly constructed for constant motion. This gives her an added edge that she has used to her advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style. She also has the ability to create static, because of the charged potential energy always in her body, that shields her mind from detection and intrusion by even the strongest and most powerful telepaths such as Emma Frost, Jean Grey, or even Charles Xavier. The shield has the added effect of destabilizing touch-based abilities. Appearance: Special skills: She was extensively trained in martial arts, particularly French kick-boxing or Savate and the staff style art Bojutsu. She is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, applying street-fighting techniques and acrobatics. Gambit is a skilled card-thrower, so she throws her charged playing cards at opponents with great accuracy. She also excels in all aspects of thievery Background: Riley was abandoned at birth when her eyes glowed bright red, her parents thinking her a demon put her into an orphanage and left, Riley's powers didn't begin to show until she got into her preteens and she left the orphanage to live on the streets, learning quickly the ways of thievery and slide of hand she was able to adapt, and as she grew older she began to apply herself in martial arts and card playing which she took a liking to immediately, she joined a small gang that was known for thievery and quick acrobatic get aways, Riley got into a fight when one of the members tried to get her to take her clothes off and she put one of her playing cards through his skull. Leaving New Orleans Riley continued to excel in card playing and martial arts, she took a particular liking to the Bo Staff. Additional notes: Her eyes aren't always red, only when she's using a lot of her power. When they aren't a blazing red they're a bright blue.

 **Full Name:** Julio Esteban “Ric” Richter **Codename:** Rictor **Age:** 23 **From:** Born in Mexico Grew up in San Francisco, California **Mutations:** _Seismic Shockwave Generation_ – Rictor is capable of generating and releasing seismic energy which he can direct with distorted waves that release through his fingers by striking his hands together. This typically creates a massive shockwave, damaging and/or disorientating all within his line-of-fire, causing objects to shatter or crumble and also using it to create earthquakes. When used against objects with a larger surface, the effects are much like an earthquake. His powers affect organic objects in much the same way as inorganic ones. Rictor is immune to his own vibrations. His hands give off a bright blue light upon impact with each other. _Enhanced Strength_ – Rictor has superhuman strength allowing him to lift about the size of a pick-up truck. He can also channel his strength to his legs allowing him to leap yards at a time. _Enhanced Durability & Endurance_ – Via Enhanced Strength, Rictor possesses a high degree of durability, protecting him against most damage and impacts. His endurance is higher than most humans. _Telepathic Immunity_ – Rictor is immune to most psychic intrusions and manipulations. Even someone as the likes of Jean Grey or Professor Xavier have trouble getting past his mental blocks. (Develops later) **Special skills:** - Rictor is a competent hand to hand combatant. - Rictor is very skilled with computers. **Background:** Rictor was born in Mexico to Mexican parents, but soon relocated to San Francisco after he was born. His parents tried to raise him to have a normal childhood; mainly to keep what his father did a secret. His father was a part of the cartel and did illegal activities involving drugs and weapons. Oblivious to this, he went on to have a normal life of friends and school. When he was old enough to find out, it had been too late. He had spent time in jail with his father for illegal gun smuggling. Rictor was forced to watch his father's murder during a deal gone bad by an opposing gang. When his mutant seismic powers manifested, he accidentally destroyed three city blocks. This brought Rictor to the attention of an anti-mutant group. They gave him the name "Rictor", explained to him his mutation, tortured him and attempted to force Rictor into using his seismic powers to destroy San Francisco. Thankfully, Rictor was saved by the X-Men and was asked to join them in their fight to stop anti-mutant sentiments. **Additional notes:** - Rictor is openly gay. He’s been with women in the past but felt like it was wrong. When he came to terms with it, he admitted that he felt pressure to date women because of society’s standards. - Rictor’s powers have been altered a bit to have a bit of his and Arclight’s. I changed it a little since both cannon characters have similar abilities; the strength part coming from Arclight (if this is okay).

**Full name:** Katya Annik Rasputina/Rasputin **Codename:** _Sorceress_ **Age:** 21 **From:** Russia **Mutations:** Teleportation, Psionic Shields  **Special skills:** Sorcery spells (black magic), hand to hand combat & weapons training thanks to Project: X-Men (especially talented at the sword and axes) **Background:** Katya was born in 1994 just before her mother caught the Legacy Virus and died. Her father was not a mutant, but died soon after as well, leaving Katya to be raised by her grandmother and grandfather. She was raised to try and subdue her mutant powers, as her grandparents believed their children’s abilities were what sent them away from Russia and led to their demise. Katya believed herself a superhero though, and practiced in secret, saving little animals and fellow school mates. When she was around 7 years old, one of the demons from Limbo that helped her mother develop her black magic showed up and tried to possess the young girl, but was unable to because of her psionic shields. Instead, it began teaching her the art of black magic in hopes to gain her trust and allow her into her mind. Katya began learning spells like how to bind others, awareness of others with magic abilities, astral projection while sleeping, and other simple spells. At the age of 10, Katya met her uncles, Colossus and Mikhail, Colossus having been resurrected by Ord. During this trip, he saw much of his sister in his niece, and wanted to make sure she didn’t go on a dark path there in Russia. He brought her back with him to the USA and to the capable hands of the X-men when she was 11. In the last 10 years, she has learned how to properly control her mutations, and many other skills necessary for an X-man like hand to hand combat (though she sucks at driving despite classes). The demon from her childhood has followed her though and helped her secretly develop her black magic, though she has tried to ignore him for the most part. Her teachers and fellow X-men remain unaware for the most part as she prevents them from reading her mind, but she has gotten remarkably more capable at those simple, black magic spells. **Additional notes:** - I basically tried to make Katya who Illyana (Magik) would have been if not taken to Limbo, but since Magik was the ruler of Limbo in the comics, I felt it only right to include some magic. - She still retains a soft Russian accent.

**Full name:** Megan Gwynn **Codename:** Pixie **Age:** 21 **From:** Abergylid, Wales **Mutations:** "Fairy-like" wings protrude from Pixie's back, essentially making the girl capable of flight. Pixie's mutant abilities have also resulted in her body being perfectly suited for doing exactly that, toughening her skin, making her respiratory systems more efficient, and making her eyes more resistant to debris while flying. Aside from this, Megan is able to produce spores from her wings which she refers to as "Pixie Dust". These can affect people in numerous ways if they are either breath in or come into contact with a persons, such as causing vivid hallucinations. These visions can't be controlled so who knows what you'll see if you're affected! **Appearance:**   **Special skills:** - Megan is adept at close quarters combat, especially with knives, which is what she uses goes into combat with. - As fighting style goes, Megan is very skilled at Savate which uses the hands and feet as weapons combining elements of western boxing with graceful kicking techniques. She mixes this in with her knife work, which is surprisingly effective. - While not essential, Megan has a degree in philosophy obtained from Stanford University. **Background:** Megan had a quiet childhood in the small mining village of Abergylid where nothing much ever happened to her. Her father worked down in the mine while her mother was a waitress in the local diner. She was around 11 when her powers kicked in, and while the growth of her wings came as a shock to her parents, they were accepting and vowed that they loved her no matter what. Growing up, Megan decided she didn't want to end up in some rundown town like her parents so sought to leave and venture to University. When she was 18, Megan enrolled in Stanford University in America and soon traveled there in order to study Philosophy. Megan kept her mutant abilities secret throughout her time there, except for a few good friends. She worked hard, yet still found time to socialize, with her even using her "pixie dust" at parties as a quick way to get high. This all changed however in her final year when she was assaulted at a party by a guy from her course. After discovering her wings, he backed off immediately, calling her a freak, beating her instead of having his way with her. The news of her mutation spread quickly around the campus, resulting in her life turning to hell. This gave Megan a valuable lesson on what the world was really like. A world where no one cared about what the guy had done to her, simply because she was a freak and therefore "deserved it" as everyone said. She was losing all hope in the world when the Project found her and offered her a chance to help make the world a better place. **Additional notes:** - I opted to have Pixie having dyed her hair pink, rather than it being part of her mutation. - I also decided to replace the use of her soul dagger with a general use of knives in combat. This could change if anything similar to the Limbo story-line that took place in the comics happened here. - Following on from above, this means that Pixie also can't use magic either, although she has the potential. - Despite everything which has happened to her, Pixie appears as a bubbly and excitable young woman, with her hiding her true emotions underneath a smile.
