Prologue:
Touch is a mutant with a strange history. Touch has the ability to shift his mind around between multiple people. This isn't to be confused with telepathy or telekinesis, or any other psychic power that has been recorded before. Touch's mental presence actually enters the mind of the person he chooses. He can allow himself to enter slightly, allowing for basic mind reading, partially, to control a person's body much like a puppet, mostly, to control the body while inside of it, or completely, by actually shifting his entire mind out of his body and possessing that of his target, thereby becoming one with the being. His possession of this power also allows him to alter people's minds, from erasing their memories, to creating illusions, to placing them within a coma. However, if Touch should be in a person's mind when the subject dies, Touch will be affected harshly, depending on how much he has entered the person's body, even resulting in death.
Touch's memory goes back as far as his first encounter with the X-Tremes. He was discovered by the X-Tremes while being attacked by a gang in the streets of New York City. He appeared merely as an older man, as is the original body of the one we know as Touch, and was assaulted without warning, leading to his inability to defend himself. While the X-Tremes were able to disperse the gang, Touch had been mortally wounded and with his last ounce of strength, leapt completely into the body of one of his assailants. The process was so traumatic that both he and the body he over took lost their memories. The essence of Touch was the last thing holding the old man together, and his body turned to dust as Touch left him. He is now inside a body that is just as lost as his mind, and searches to find himself. The X-Tremes offered to take him into stay in Xavier's mansion in an effort to help him find is past while assisting them in any missions that they may need his assistance in. After one adventure with the X- Tremes, Touch had proved himself as an asset to the team, though is acceptance is another question.
