Mutant Ability:
Audiokinesis Chase is a mutant whose superhumanly powerful lungs, throat, and vocal cords can produce a sonic scream for various effects, in concert with limited, reflexive psionic powers which direct his sonic vibrations. He can hover or fly at the speed of sound, and can carry at least one passenger. He can overwhelm listeners with deafening noise, stun them with tight-focus low-frequency sonic blasts (effective even against shielded ears by penetrating the skull via bone conduction), plunge them into a hypnotic trance, disorient them, nauseate them, or simply render them unconscious. Using sonic waves, he can rapidly vibrate himself or other masses at will. He can generate sonic blasts which strike with tremendous concussive force, liquefying or outright disintegrating targets at his highest levels of power. By radiating sound waves outward and reading the feedback, he can locate and analyze unseen objects in a sonar-like fashion. By modulating his scream's harmonics, he can confuse most scanning equipment. He instinctively can analyze, replicate, and block sonic waves or vibrations from other sources.
Personality and History:
Born with a song in his heart, Michael Chase Broussard came into this world the second of two, with a slightly older sister in Rhonda. A close knit family, they loved their Saint’s, their jazz and their parades. Shy, sensitive and spiritual, Chase had a poets soul even as a boy and spent much of his time learning everything and anything he could about music, including how to play the guitar, piano and saxophone. Tragedy would strike the family as both parents were lost during Hurricane Katrina. During the hurricane, Ronnie and Chase were trapped in their home with the dead bodies of their parents, a terrified Chase let out a horrifying scream that destroyed what was left of their family home, freeing them. Ronnie, a mutant with intuitive abilities, quickly put two and two together and fled with what she could carry, her little brother clinging onto her back, scared to even open his mouth.
Ronnie and Chase found solace with a childless family that adopted them. However during this time, Chase did not speak for a three years after the hurricane, too horrified by what he had done to even open his mouth to anyone. Eventually, when she came of age, Rhonda took her brother to meet Charles Xavier, who used his telepathy to communicate with the silent Chase. Their sessions wielded much progress for a while until the events that unfolded upon the awakening of Apocalypse. At this time, Chase only spoke to Xavier and Ronnie and with the Professors death, he retreated back into himself. Ronnie and Chase hit the road, living life town to town, one day at a time, once crossing paths with Freddie DiAngelo and sparking up a long-time friendship. Over time, Chase began to open up more but was still quiet. When Ronnie decided to settle in Westchester and open a bar, Chase grabbed his guitar and continued on the road.
A quiet man of very few words, Chase has masterfully learned to convey everything with just a look from his sad brown eyes. He has a perceptive and observant outlook, a man who can sit quiet in a room and understand everyone else that was there in seconds. Compassionate, empathetic and protective, Chase may not say much but his actions speak louder than his words.
Extra:
- He drives an old Chevy pick up that once belonged to his father
