Wiccan and Speed
Full name: Thomas "Tommy" Shepherd
Alias/Codename: Speed
Year: Freshmen
Skills: He knows how to hotwire a car (don't ask)
Powers: Superhuman speed (enhanced perception, reflexes, durability)
Brief bio: Tommy's parents, Frank and Mary, divorced while he was still young. A troublesome child, the divorce didn't do him any favours and he spent most of his youth in and out of one juvenile hall and another.
Eventually he fell in with a few local gangs, used his powers for no good and veered off on a criminal path that, given his history, didn't surprise anyone.
No one was surprised when he ended up in a high-security Young-Offenders Facility either.
His story isn't quite so simple though. Tommy wasn't arrested for joyriding, underage drinking or shoplifting. He wasn't even arrested for a fistfight or damaging property. Tommy was arrested when his powers manifested and he vaporised half his school building. While some would argue it was an accident, Tommy's checkered past didn't earn him much sympathy and many doubted it was an accident at all. Whether accidental or an act of pent up teenage angst paired with boredom and gang violence, Tommy was sent to a special facility built for super-powered and highly dangerous individuals. He was locked up for months and subjected to experiments, in a bid to create a human weapon ... They only made Tommy more angry ...
When SHIELD were made aware of Speed's powers and his situation, Steve Rogers took sympathy on him. He didn't see a psychopathic criminal, he saw a troubled young kid. He saw potential. Rogers volunteered to enrol Speed in the Academy to give him a second chance. Suspecting he was going to be subjected to more experiments he lashed out during the "transfer", only stopping his rampage when he recognised Captain America (who fortunately had the foresight to appear at the detention facility in his Captain America costume). When Rogers asked him to stand down and offered him the choice to join a school for specially selected individuals, Tommy agreed.

Initial observation report: Thomas is a very unstable young man, but resilient. Rogers has great hopes for him. Despite his background, Thomas does not appear to lack a moral compass, he seems open to guidance from certain individuals. His power potential is tremendous, he can upset the molecular stability of objects, forcing them to explode simply by shaking them at super speed.
Training regimen/expertise: Speed's abilities are highly developed, attention should be paid to "social conditioning" to ensure he can work well in a team. Finding suitable partners is a priority.
Potential outlook: A valuable agent for extraction missions and intelligence gathering particular. Speed can be in and out of a conflict before the enemy even sees him.
Best case scenario: If paired with the right instructors and peers, Thomas could become a well adjusted, socially conscious teammate. He already possesses great power, teaching him to use it responsibly would yield great results.
Worst case scenario: If he disagrees with his instructors or peers, Thomas has the potential to cause significant damage to the school and personnel.
Full name: William "Billy" Kaplan/Maximoff
Alias/Codename: Wiccan/Demiurge
Year: Freshman.
Skills: Hero Trivia & Norse Mythology.
Powers: Electrokenisis, teleportation, flight, [Reality warping magic]
Brief bio: The reincarnated son of Wanda Maximoff a.k.a the Scarlet Witch. Billy's soul was lost, when Mephisto cast his soul, and the soul of his twin brother, into worlds unknown. As a result of the loss of her twin boys, Scarlett Witch lost control of her powers wreaking devastating destruction. In her grief, she vanished, never to be seen again ... but the fate of her two boys was not quite over yet... Nor was she. Those two lost souls reincarnated, Billy was one, his brother Tommy (a.k.a Speed) was the other. Taking after his mother, Billy inherited devastating magical abilities which lay dormant for most of his childhood.
Billy was raised with two younger brothers in a Jewish family completely unaware of his "other" birth and his extraordinary powers, Billy had an average upbringing. High school was tough, he got bullied because of his nerdy-obsession with Heroes, Norse Mythos and comicbooks and also his homosexuality.
As luck would have it ... Billy wasn't entirely alone in the world. After another incident of bullying in school, he met Teddy Altman and encountered Scarlet Witch, whom told him he had great powers, he had to stand up and believe in himself.
Instilled with confidence thanks to Teddy and Wanda, Billy faced up to his bullies, accidentally awakening his powers and electrocuting the thugs. Fortunately there were no fatalities.
This terrifying awakening startled Billy and he refrained from using his powers, for fear he couldn't control this mysterious force. He was later coaxed into experimenting with and learning to control his powers by fellow "mutant" Teddy Altman (Hulkling). Unaware of their origins, the two believed they were both "mutants" and found comfort in one another and quickly formed a relationship.
Despite initial hesitance, for fear of losing control of his abilities. Billy showed great promise, particularly when Hulkling helped him practice controlling his power (through self-help books no less). Together they discovered that chanting a spell helped Billy to stay focused and maintain some control of his powers. The pair began using their powers to clean up the streets, under the aliases "Asguardian" and "Hulkling" and came under SHIELD's radar. In the field, "Asguardian" greatly reduced the level of his power, to protect his partner and civilians and also to try and keep a low profile. He limited his attacks to lightning based and flight, emulating one of his heroic idols, the Asguardian prince, Thor Odinson, however the true extent of his powers goes far deeper than levitation and lightning bolts.

Initial observation report: William exhibits great potential but lacks confidence in his ability to control his power, limiting his skill-pool and refraining from pushing himself to achieve his full potential.
Training regimen/expertise: Training in flight/levitation is required to ensure safety in combat. William will also require tutoring in electrokenisis/precision training to prevent cases of accidental friendly-fire from stray shocks. Reality-warping magic lessons should be approached carefully and incrementally, focusing on maintaining control primarily and secondarily focus on increasing magical strength and dexterity. [William displays great awareness when meditating on his powers, however in extreme stress or emotion he shows less control and restraint (e.g. when T. Altman faced peril in combat, William unleashed substantially more aggressive/uncontrolled attacks.]
Potential outlook: A powerful asset. He shows a desire to protect his peers and would be a valuable asset on any team if he can maintain control of his emotions and his powers.
Best case scenario: A loyal Avenger with the ability to devastate enemies of SHIELD.
Worst case scenario: If he loses control of his powers/emotions, particularly after achieving Demiurge level of power, the results could be catastrophic. SHIELD must also be cautious about introducing William to his long-lost twin brother, Thomas a.k.a. Speed
