ULTIMATE X-MEN
Character bios for my upcoming X-men fanfic: Ultimate X-men reboot. This story will also tie in my upcoming Ultimate Avengers story and my Ultimate Spiderman Story.
…..
Professor Charles Xavier
Age: 54
Appearance: standard ultimate appearance, x men uniform is standard black cargo pants with the X logo across them and the black and yellow X-Men jacket
Personality: Still strict with his students and faculty, but acts more as a father figure and friend to his fellow mutants and students. He can be strict, but fair, and never gives and unfair punishment. Always strives to improve the mutant and human disputes without violence, although he does realize that actions must be taken to protect fellow mutants and endangered humans. Maintains an uneasy friendship with Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr/ Magnus), who he has known since his late teens. He still has hope that Erik can see the good in humanity, although he will not hesitate to stop his wayward path.
Powers: His powers are similar to Ultimate counterpart. He possesses vast telepathic abilities including: Mental manipulation/Control, stunning the minds of other beings, probing/reading the minds of others, and astral projection. His Mental powers are great enough that he can freeze large crowds of people in mid stride. He also possesses a weak form of telekinesis strong enough to push a grown human being back several meters.
Cyclops aka Scott Summers
Age: 25
Appearance: Similar to his ultimate appearance in civilian clothes. X-Men uniform is a set of black cargos with the X logo across them. Jacket is similar to professor X's, difference being more pockets. Mask consists of visor for firing his optic vision, connected to a helmet similar to his mainstream counterpart's mask. Also wear a flexible armor padding under jacket for further protection. Visors have several forms of firing, being able to narrow the field of fire to about an inch. Visor also can be set to a blinking mode that will create several rapid-fire blasts instead of the usual straight beam. Gloves also contain a micro switch that can open the visor in case his hand cant reach the firing mechanism located on the side of the earpiece.
Personality: Has a grim and serious personality due to his family's military upbringing. He was taught discipline and respect at a young age. He is an exceptional team leader, even more so in crisis scenarios. Despite his attitude he can be lighthearted at times (though these moments are few and far between). Has a romantic relationship with Jean Grey. He also shares a deep rivalry with Wolverine, partly due to their mutual attraction to Jean, and due to Wolverine's difficulty with authority. Despite this tension, the two are more than capable of working with each other and will not hesitate to aid the other. They have a mutual respect towards each other even if it does not show. Cyclops also acts as a mentor for the younger students though he can be harder on them than necessary, although, the Professor and Jean temper this. His relationship with his younger brother Alex (Havok: Three years younger) is strained to say the least. Both of them had a mutual attraction to the mutant Lorna Dane (Polaris: age 22) with both of them arguing over her. Cyclops and Lorna dated for a time before breaking off. Alex is also resentful of Scott, believing that he was their father's favorite. The tension is further strained as Alex proved to be rebellious and headstrong. Despite the differences between them however they are still brothers and will not hesitate to help the other. Cyclops feels disconnected towards his brother and has difficulty in finding ways to mend the rift, but secretly feels proud of his brother's accomplishments.
Powers: Possesses the ability to fire extremely powerful blast of concussive force in the forms of red beams form his eyes. Although not composed of heat, the force of the blast is powerful enough to create friction on objects hit that it appears to burn it. Due to a head injury (Caused by Alex) he cannot shut off the beams, they fire every time he opens his eyes, although closing them will shut off the beams. Their effective range is about a mile. With concentration Cyclops can increase or decrease the power of the beams. He can make them as weak as being able to knock a large group of people unconscious from pure force, or he can increase their power to destroy tanks.
Jean Grey
Age: 24
Appearance: Similar to her ultimate marvel counterpart but wears cargo pants tucked into combat boots while in the field.
Personality: Friendly, outgoing, and studious, she is encouraging and insightful with her teammates and is easily one of the most level headed, although at times she can become emotional. She is involved in a romantic relationship with Cyclops, although she does have some feeling for Wolverine, which has caused some tension between the two men. She feels some level of guilt over this but tries to hide it. She is a skilled teacher, always striving to aid the younger mutants with their developing powers. Has a dysfunctional relationship with her family and has a strained relationship with them. She considers her teammates her new family and is very protective of them.
Powers: Arguably one of the most powerful mutants on the X-Men roster, she had the ability to read the thoughts and minds of others as well as connecting minds through a psychic link. She has also shown the ability to manipulate minds, but only subtlety and is no match for more skilled telepaths. She has a very powerful and currently unlimited power of Telekinesis. The strength and limits of her power are unknown, although she can lift multiple objects of great mass and/or weight. She can also release these powers into blasts of concussive force.
Iceman aka Bobby Drake
Age: 17
Appearance: Similar to ultimate marvel counterpart but wears X-men uniform while in ice form, does not wear a bandanna.
Personality: Similar to previous counter parts, fun loving goofy and a prankster. Some consider him immature for his age, although he has rare moments of maturity that surprises his teammates. Very creative in the use and application of his powers, using them in unique ways. Has a tendency to be emotional and cocky, although deeply insecure as he feels he doesn't deserve his place on the team. Very friendly with Kitty Pryde and Kurt Wagner. He also acts as a leader figure (although unknowingly) to the New Mutants training squad. As he is one of the younger X-men the New Mutants look up to him for his cheerful attitude and ability to handle the pressure of the team.
Powers: Can cryogenically freeze the moisture in the air or objects to subzero temperatures, He can accomplish this by using water molecules around him and in other objects, He can lift himself up in the air with the use of ice slides and can also fire ice missiles (Spheres and projectiles of compact ice that shatter into fragments on impact, can also freeze over the object detonated on). He normally uses his ice abilities to transform himself into living ice that can regenerate from harm by absorbing water, his strength is somewhat enhanced while in his ice form.
Shadow Cat aka Kitty Pryde
Age: 16
Appearance: similar to her ultimate counterpart.
Personality: Friendly, outgoing and very caring towards her friends. She has a genius level IQ of 175 (just a little below Peter Parker's: 185). Very clever and perceptive for her age, she is one of the youngest members of the X-Men (second only to Nightcrawler: 15). Despite this she is proud to be on the team and does her best to prove her worth. She also acts as a caring friend to both Bobby and Kurt. Like Iceman she also acts as a mentor and role model for the New Mutants despite their similar age. She is a bit insecure of her love life, which she tries to avoid, fearing the emotional toll that come with it. Despite this she has a crush on Spiderman and developing feelings for Bobby.
Powers: Shadowcat can phase through people or objects, she can also phase part of her body through another person causing them extreme pain. She can also phase other beings through objects or partially through objects. The latter method is a preferred way to trap an opponent, although the bonding of the target to the phased object is weak and will not fuse to the target for about five minutes. Her powers also have a tendency to disrupt electrical equipment when she phases through it.
Nightcrawler aka Kurt Wagner
Age: 15
Appearance: Standard appearance but X-Men uniform is similar to Iceman (i.e. Cargos and jacket) he does not wear boots and has a hole in pants for tail to move. Normally carries a pair of rapiers with him.
Personality: Kurt Wagner was born in Germany to an unknown family and was adopted into the circus, as such he was raised with the belief that family comes first, and he treats the X-men as his new family, although he still has deep ties to his circus friends in the youngest member of the X-men Kurt is good friends with Iceman and Kitty, he also shares a strong friendship with his teammate Colossus as they both hale from European countries and have come to except new social customs. This friendship has been strained when Colossus revealed his sexual preference as homosexual. Kurt was at first angry at Colossus for keeping this secret as he felt hurt by the lack of trust (Colossus felt fearful of his teammate's reaction to his lifestyle). Despite this he has made strides to improve their friendship. Kurt is plagued by nightmares of a baby being thrown off a cliff after a figure was chased by a mob. He also suffers from dreams of three unknown figures, two similar in shape to himself the third being unknown. The professor has attempted to clear these unknown dreams from his students head or at least elaborate on their source or meaning, however they remain a mystery. Kurt has a strong relation to his family back in Germany, his foster mother and foster sister Amanda Sefton (who did not reject him as they were a family of witches and gypsies). He was forced to kill his foster brother Stephen when he went mad and used his witchcraft to murder several villagers. Although his family does not blame him, Kurt still suffers from a large amount of guilt at this action.
Powers: He possesses the ability to teleport himself and others to different locations. His power is limited to his eyesight as he cannot teleport if he has not seen the destination before, or if he can't see it. He has superhuman reflexes and above average strength. His tail is very is strong enough and has enough dexterity to wield a rapier with great precision.
Colossus aka Piotr Rasputin
Age: 21
Appearance: Looks identical to his ultimate counterpart
Personality: Piotr is a strong willed and passionate individual. He is good friends with Kurt, Bobby, and Kitty. He is a kind soul inside a giant's body. He does not like violence but has no qualms over resorting to it. He has many issues of coming to the US, mainly leaving his family and younger sister behind in Russia. He is homosexual, a piece of info he tried to hide from his friends and family out of fear of rejection (although his sister was apparently his confidant in Russia). Although Nightcrawler was hurt from the lack of trust none of his friends rejected him. This has boosted his confidence and has allowed himself to better open up to his teammates. He is currently in a relationship with Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier) the mutant leader of the Academy of Tomorrow.
Powers: In human form Piotr possesses enhanced strength and stamina. These traits are extremely augmented when he shifts into his armored form. His strength reaches superhuman levels, as does his durability, even Wolverines claws have severe difficulty in piercing his armored skin. He can however be injured given sufficient force.
Beast aka Hank McCoy
Age: 34
Appearance: Uniform is similar to his ultimate counterpart although his physical appearance is identical to his mainstream counter part (i.e. a blue furred lynx)
Personality: the definition of the fun teacher everyone wants. Beast is a gentle and endearing man who has striven for mutant equality by teaching at universities, showing that mutants and humans can coexist in peace. He has a genus level IQ and possesses several doctorates in genetics and mutations. He is a scholarly man who is both fun and professional. He does have some self-doubt over his mutant appearance but has learned to move passed it with the aid of the X-Men. He is one of the older members of the team as well as one of the few X-Men who is strong friends with Wolverine (the others being Storm and the Professor), acting as a trusted confidant. He is a pacifist by nature but will not hesitate to use violence to end further violence. He is the favorite teacher at the Xavier institute do to his creative ways of demonstrating science as useful.
Powers: Beast has heightened sense and reflexes as well as blue fur and a human/lynx like physique. This has given him near superhuman strength and razor sharp claws, as well as a weak healing factor.
Storm aka Ororo Munroe
Age: 30
Appearance: Ultimate counterpart uniform and short hair has small cape that is attached to her wrists.
Personality: Storm hales from Africa, a nation which she prides herself on retaining her countries culture. She has adapted to life in America but has always kept her home country at heart. She can be strict when needed but mostly retains a calm and composed personality, although easily approachable. She acts as a mentor for the younger students and has known Charles the longest as she was the first mutant he rescued from another in Cairo, Egypt. She has a strong friendship with both Beast and Wolverine (Logan) and is one of the few who can approach him without fear. She is a fierce combatant and has a deep belief in Xavier's mutant dream of peaceful equality.
Powers: Storm possesses the ability to psionically influence the weather. She can create hurricane speed winds in small areas or directed at single targets, she can also summon lighting and ice. Her powers take precise control, which she has shown to be a master of. Alongside Jean and Bobby she is one of the most powerful X-Men.
Wolverine "Logan" aka James Howlett
Age: unknown presumed to be over 50 years old minimum
Appearance: Same as ultimate counter part
Personality: Logan is a gruff and troubled individual. His past has been nearly completely erased as he only remembers brief periods of his life, namely his time in an American colony, and his service in World War II alongside Captain America. There is a large gap of memory from his childhood and from his time in the 1950's to about 1990. He is still troubled by memory fragments of a team he had been assigned to during this time gap. He remembers several details of the organization but refuses to share it even with the Professor, partly out of shame for the things he did while he was a member of weapon x and partly out of fear of what he might discovered if he pushed further into his memories. Despite his often rude and loner-type personality, Logan is a loyal member to the X-Men and is rather protective of the younger group (the New Mutants, Bobby, Kitty and Kurt) the latter three understand him the most out of the younger group as he has instructed them on survival training, which he performed in the Savage Land. He also shares a mutual rivalry/respect with his team leader Cyclops. Like the former he also possesses some feelings for Jean Grey. He is troubled by several interpersonal problems other than his past. He has apparently met Nick Fury when the latter served as a soldier in the Gulf War, and claims that his life was saved by Logan, although he does not remember it. He is also the father of Jimmy Hudson, his now eighteen year old son currently residing in Canada with his foster Parents the Hudson who's lives were saved from a bear attack by Logan in the early nineties. He subsequently watches his son every year on his birthday. He also carries a pair of dog tags that carry both his given name and nickname, they are also marked with his codename Wolverine. Where the tags came from he can't remember. He is also in possession of a pair of wedding rings, though he doesn't know if they're his or not. He was good friends with Captain America during the Second World War, and mourned his apparent death. His relationship with the now revived ultimate is strained, as Logan greatly distrusts the government that Rogers still believes has some merit left (Although recent actions have made Rogers doubt said beliefs).
Powers: Logan's powers include an incredibly powerful healing factor that seemingly makes him nigh unkillable. He has greatly enhanced speed, strength and stamina. He also has a pair of adamantium claws (three on each hand) as well as a skeleton laced with the near indestructible metal. He also possesses enhanced senses.
Magneto aka Erik "Magnus" Lehnsherr
Age: 55
Appearance: ultimate Marvel appearance
Personality: Unlike his original Ultimate counterpart, Magneto's hatred for humans is not all encompassing. He recognizes the good that they have done and appreciates the humans that do strive to improve the human-mutant relations. However he believe that humans will try to destroy mutants that they see as a threat. To this end Magneto has used his powers and mutant followers to eradicate the humans that fear and attack mutants. He holds no grudge against humans who do not hate mutants, and has no dreams of genocide. But he believes humanity will respect mutants if taught to fear them. This has brought him into repeated conflicts with his former friend Charles Xavier and his team of mutant heroes the X-Men. He respects his friends dream and beliefs but he himself cannot abide by them as he has seen the worst of humanity during his time in the Nazi concentration camps. He does have some respect for the humans that saved him, Captain America and his team of Howling Commandos (Wolverine included amongst their ranks, though neither men remember each other.) He also shows his tolerance of humans as he has had a relationship with a human women (The mother of his children, Pietro and Wanda). It is strongly hinted that Magneto still loves her. He is currently the Mutant ruler of Genosha, an island nation made for mutants and given to Magneto as a peace offering. This has created an uneasy truce between Magneto and the humans, although he has made clear that if mutants or his nation were to be attacked, the world would know his wraith one again.
Powers: Magneto has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields to create a variety of affects; he can levitate himself and control all forms of magnetic metals. He can control them on a molecular level although doing so is difficult. He can also tap into the electromagnetic spectrum to create powerful EMP burs that can be used against both machines and humans (The electrical burst can stop a mans heart). He is also a genius level planner and a skilled politician.
The Academy of Tomorrow: an organization that functions much like its ultimate counterpart. It accepts students of all races (i.e. mutants or humans) without discrimination. The academy accepts people based on their unique 'gifts', which can range from powers, intelligence, or something more. The Head master is Emma frost (Age 27) and Sir James Braddock founded it and currently funds it. It is stationed in London and has its own team of heroic adventurers, the AoT squad.
Members:
Emma Frost
Age: 27
Appearance: Very similar to her mainstream counterpart
Personality: Emma Frost is a complex person. She can be manipulative and cold to some while warm, inspiring, and welcoming to others, mainly her students. She has high hopes for them and tries to set them on a noble path although some of her students have trouble excepting themselves. Xavier mentored her on the use of her Psychic mutant powers, although she has used them for less than noble intentions she does try to restrain their use.
Powers: Her psychic powers are almost identical to Xavier's albeit not quite as powerful (although Xavier believes she could eventually become more powerful than him.). She also has a secondary mutation that transforms her body into living diamond, granting her near invulnerability. She cannot use her telepathy in this form.
Havok aka Alex Summers
Age: 22
Appearance: identical to his ultimate incarnation
Personality: Unlike his brother Alex is brash and some times impulsive (matching his powers) he was the black sheep in his family, being rebellious and difficult as opposed to his brother. Being the younger of the two, he always felt he was in his brother's shadow. They're argumentative relationship hit a breaking point when both brothers became attracted to Lorna Dane (Havok's future lover and teammate Polaris). Alex smashed his brother in the head with a tire iron, rendering him unconscious, horrified Alex got his brother to a hospital where Scotts mutants power flared up and blew a hole in the building room. Xavier arrived and defused the situation, taking Scott to the Xavier institute to better control his powers. Xavier later told Alex that as a result of the blow to the head, Scott would never be able to fully control his powers. This revelation became a source of secret guilt that the younger Summers brother has struggled to cope with (although Cyclops seems to have forgiven him). When Havok's powers first manifested, he was approached by both Frost and Xavier. Unable to cope with his own guilt, Alex chose Frost to distance himself from his brother. As the second in command of the AoT team (leader being Northstar) Alex has matured and become a hero in his own right, earning the respect of both his team and secretly his brother who is proud of the person Alex has become. Despite the rocky relationship between the two brothersneither would hesitate to aid each other if needed.
Powers: Havok has the ability to superheat the air around him and generate plasma. He cause these blasts of superheated plasma to incinerate his targets or create concussive burst by heating the air and causing a flameless combustion. His powers have no affect on his brother and vice versa.
Other AoT Members
Polaris: Alex's girlfriend and mutant with ability to control magnetic fields
Sunspot: Mutant with the ability to generate intense heat and flames allover his body, can fly and fire blasts of heat (similar to The Human Torch)
Multiple-Man: Has the ability to create multiple copies of himself all with same memories and experiences, although each duplicate looks the same (an 18 year old male), his real identity is a comatose, 14 year old boy named Jamie Madrox. Only Frost, Northstar, and Loki know this fact
Northstar: team leader and has the ability to travel near speed of light, can create blinding flashes of bright light, lover to Colossus
Hellion: Telekinetic mutant (age 17) and secret favorite of Frost (she sees a lot of herself in the young man and hopes to guide him on the right path, though she is a bit tougher on him than the others)
Wind Dancer: Young mutant (age 17) with the ability to manipulate air currents. Has feelings for Hellion but does not act on them (secretly supported by Frost).
Captain Britain: London's most famous superhero, no longer a main stay member but is always willing to aid his fellow team mates, uses specialized exo-suit to give him a force field superhuman strength, speed and durability.
Loki:
Age: 16, in his mortal guise
Appearance: Normally dresses in plainclothes
Personality: Norse god of tricks and lies, like Thor, he has been reincarnated from an Asgardian to a semi-human being (they are mortal but much stronger than humans, Thor is a god but in human form, weapons and armor are all Asgardian weapons). Currently a member of the AoT team after Ragnarok turned all the Asgardian gods into humans (albeit stronger and with no memories of their past lives). After seeing Thor on TV, Loki remembered who he was. Unlike Thor who is certain of his Godly heritage (Odin having been restored to full godhood told him of his true identity) Loki is unsure of his real self, so he uses the name as his codename, claiming he has no real name as he is an orphan in his mortal life. He is crafty and charming, and has a strong friendship with Jamie Madrox (Multiple-man) aware of boy's true state (comatose). He acts as his friend and astral projects the real Jamie to himself and Frost. He is not as evil as his mainstream counterpart and instead feels a sense of guilt as he played a key role in Ragnarok. Thor has attempted to contact Loki, but he repeatedly turned down, due to Loki's insecurity. He and Multiple-man frequently play pranks on their team members.
Powers: Has the ability manipulate energy he creates to produce blasts of destructive force, heal, create illusions (like the ones in the Thor and Avengers movies) and can create constructs from the energy as well. Although the latter method is dangerous, if the construct is destroyed the backlash could kill him. He posses enhanced human strength and healing abilities.
