Mad Malibu Summer!

To Red Witch: Another 100-chapter nightmare, huh? How do you do it? What I want to see is someone get blown to itty bitty pieces! And have Pyro get conked in the head and think he's Steve Irwin, and that Magneto's a huge crocodile! That'd be so funny to watch Magneto get caught in various traps. I know I suggested it before, but it's such a funny idea, and I'd love to see your take on it.

To Metal Dragon1: Yeah. I'm a big fan of the Teen Titans cartoon, and since I was partially inspired by Beast Boy to create Jack, I thought it'd be appropriate for him to be a vegetarian, too. And since X23 is a feral mutant, and her mutation is that like a wolverine, a predatory animal, that means that she has a natural affinity for meat. So I could imagine the two constantly arguing over their food choices. I suppose that one day, Jester's pranks may explode in his face. Whose jeep do you think Firestorm blew up?

To Wizard1: WHERE ARE YOU MAN?!?!

It's Profile Time Again! Crowd hoots, hollers, cheers, screams, claps, and chants. Some hold up signs This time, we take another look at everyone' favorite fish-man, Chilljaw!

Chilljaw

Class: Mutant

Real Name: Thomas Sharpe

Known Aliases: Formerly Shark Man

Place of Birth: Somewhere near the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Nationality: Australian (1/4 Maori)

Powers: Tommy Sharpe's mutation adapted his body for swimming. His body is sleek, yet powerful. He has dual respiratory systems, standard lungs for breathing air, and gills for breathing in water. Unlike real sharks, the gills can move, so he doesn't necessarily need to. His body is also more resistant to heat, cold, and pressure than normal humans.

He also possesses great strength, able to lift up to 3 tons at his current level. His senses are enhanced, allowing him excellent night vision and the ability to identify people by the scent of their blood. His body is also very durable, allowing him high resistance to injury.

His most famous ability is his most mysterious. He has the ability to store water, where it's somehow cooled to a point beyond freezing, yet remaining in liquid state. He can spit this "ice water" at an opponent, freezing the target solid.

His mutation is also physical, giving him gray skin, gills, sharp front teeth capable of biting through chains (just like a real shark, if a tooth falls out or gets broken, another one pops right in!), and even a fin growing out of his upper back!

Bio: Born in Australia, Tommy is the son of renowned shark experts Garrett and Frieda Sharpe. They accepted Tommy's mutation, finding it funny that he looked like they animal they dedicated their lives to studying.

At the age of ten, Tommy came to America, where their parents accepted job offers at a Malibu marine institute. Tommy was accepted by other kids in the mutant-friendly California town. In Malibu, Tommy developed a love for skateboarding, becoming a local skateboarding hero, and he proved to have quite the appetite. He suddenly developed the chills at age 14, the result of the powers he would develop alongside his looks. He spat a stream of water at a plant that froze it on contact! He would later discover his other powers.

When he heard of the West Coast Misfits, he decided to join them. He met leader Theresa "Siryn" Rourke at Nick's Arcade, a local teen/college student hangout. Siryn decided to give him a shot.

When the West Coast Misfits faced the alien biker gang known as the Crushers, Tommy proved himself by single-handedly catching them by freezing them with his ice water. He was allowed on the team.

Recently, he changed his codename to Chilljaw.

(Malibu Skate Park)

A big skateboarding event was going down today. Some of the world's greatest skateboarders were there, performing tricks and signing autographs for the crowd.

"Oh wow! This is great, mate!" Tommy grinned. "This is so bloody awesome! See, Terrell? I told ya! She'll be apples!"

"What does apples have to do with it?" The African-American speedster scratched his head. Tommy sighed. Obviously, Terrell wasn't familiar with Australian lingo.

"'She'll be apples' is kind of our way of saying that things will be fine. Kinda like we say 'Telly' for TV, and we call a crazy place a 'Ripper'." Tommy explained. Terrell nodded.

"Okay, I got it." Terrell shrugged. He then noticed a couple pretty girls. "Ooh! Excuse me Sharky, but I gotta see if these ladies love to party." He grinned. "Oh, girls! Hey, girls!" Tommy smirked.

"Three…two…one." He counted. He then heard sounds of slaps. "Right on schedule." Terrell walked up to Tommy, rubbing his cheek.

"Not one word." He warned. Tommy grinned.

"Nice try, dude."

"At least I don't come from a country that was populated by almost nothing but felons!" Terrell grumbled.

"That's why chicks dig Australians, mate. We're born bad boys." Tommy retorted with a smirk. Terrell rolled his eyes.

"Right." Velocity groaned. "Hey, you notice that guy? He looks too fancy to be here." The speedster pointed to a muscular 17 year old boy as well as a dark-skinned boy clad in brand-name clothes. They appeared to be looking at the event with disgust. Tommy sniffed the air.

"Yeah. Their blood stinks of bloody Hellion." Tommy snarled. "It's that muscle-bound plonker Beef and that so-called human rocket Jetstream."

"Let's go see what they're up to. And maybe we'll whup them while we're at it." Terrell smirked. The two West Coast Misfits marched towards the two Hellions.

(Malibu City Limits)

"Is anyone gonna get me down from here?" Emma Frost sighed. Yes folks, she still was strung up on the flagpole. A certain jeep, the Firerunner, pulled up near the pole. Firestorm and BR emerged, the Malibu Joe carrying a flag. He looked up and chuckled. "What's so funny?!"

"I knew blondes were everywhere in this state, but dude!" Firestorm burst out laughing. BR screeched in agreement. "Hey wait a minute, aren't you Emma Frost?"

"No, I'm Jenny McCarthy." Emma replied snidely. "Can you PLEASE get me down from here?! I went to bed last night and when I woke up, I found myself up here!" Firestorm chuckled.

"C'mon BR, let's get her down." Firestorm laughed. BR put the flag back and they opened up the trunk.

"Finally." Emma sighed. "Once I get down, I will kill Bevatron and Beef! I know those two jokers are behind this!" She blinked when she heard beeping. She looked down and noticed that the bottom of the flagpole was lined with sticks of dynamite rigged with a remote detonator. "No! No way! There's a pulley right there!"

"This way's more fun!" Firestorm laughed. "Relax, Frosty the Snowlady! I'm a certified explosives expert."

"From where, Clown College?!" Emma hollered in fright. Firestorm arched an eyebrow.

"No wonder no one likes you. Fire in the hole!" Firestorm pressed a red button on a remote. The dynamite exploded, causing the flagpole to fall over.

"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OW!!!" Emma screamed as she came down and hit the ground face-down.

"Uh oh." Firestorm ran to the pole, lifted it up, and looked at a dazed Emma Frost.

"Mommy, can we have pancakes now?" Emma dizzily said. She had a dumb grin on her face.

"BR, I'm no doctor. You think she's fine?" Firestorm asked his Macaque partner. Blast Radius only shrugged. "Yeah, you're right." He dropped the pole, making Emma let out an 'OOF'. "Let's not tell Hardcase about this." They drove off quickly. "We gotta get Twinkies!"

"Pancakes…"

Well, looks like the day is going to get interesting now! What madness will happen next? What'll happen when Velocity and Chilljaw meet Beef and Jetstream? What are the others up to? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
