It's Profile Time again! (Crowd hoots, hollers, screams, chants, and claps. Some hold up signs) This time, as per Goofn1's request, everyone's favorite geokinetic, Avalanche!
Avalanche
Real Name: Lance Alvers
Class: Mutant
Allegiance: Misfits (East Coast Team), formerly Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
Powers: Lance has geological-based powers. He can mentally create earthquakes, fissures, and even alter geographic layouts to a small degree. As a result of genetic damage done by Magneto, Lance is prone to attacks that cause uncontrollable earth-based phenomenon, seizures, and temporary amnesia. He also is prone to hallucinations, especially those of a coyote who has Pietro's voice and claims to be his spirit guide.
Bio: Not much is known about Lance's early life, but he has been shipped from foster home to foster home as a child, and suffered numerous forms of abuse. When his powers emerged, he joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. He became a leader of a small group of misfit mutants, the amphibian-like Toad, the egomaniacal speedster Quicksilver, and the lumbering large Blob. He was driven crazy by the antics of Todd, Pietro, and Fred. Things got worse for him when Wanda, Pietro's twin sister and a hot-tempered hexcaster who would become known as the Scarlet Witch.
Lance tries to maintain an often-rocky relationship with X-Man Kitty Pryde, codenamed Shadowcat. It's not helped by the affections of his rival, Piotr "Peter" Rasputin, the former Acolyte and now-X-Man codenamed Colossus. His teammates often tease him about it, and Pietro has tried to set him up with new teammate Angelica Jones, codename Firestar.
After the battle at Asteroid M, Lance ended up becoming one of the Misfits, alongside Blob, Quicksilver, Toad, Wavedancer, Xi, Trinity, and the Scarlet Witch. As a Misfit, Lance found new purpose in life, and found new friends in teammates Starchild, Darkstar, Pyro, Lila Cheney, Red Dragon, Firestar, and a 'little sister' in the 12-year-old mutant Olivia Osnick, codename Spyder.
Recently, Lance has forayed into the world of rock stardom as the lead guitarist of the all-mutant glam-metal band, the Superstars. His bandmates are keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Lila Cheney, bassist Craig Starr/Darkstar, rhythm guitarist/lead vocalist Paul Starr/Starchild, and drummer St. John Allerdyce/Pyro.

(The Streets of Malibu)
Monet St. Croix and Sharon Smith, the Hellions known as M and Catseye, stalked down a Malibu street, shooting occasional glares at each other.
"You are so lucky that Malibu's laws are rather lenient when it comes to minor brawls." Monet growled.
"And you are lucky that Catseye didn't kill you where you stood for trying to take Catseye's mate!" Sharon snarled.
"Yours?!" Monet snapped. "Ace is mine!"
"Since when?!" Catseye snapped back.
"Since always! There's a passion that flows between us." Monet replied.
"The only place where that happens is in your delusional ape-like mind! Ace and Catseye are both cats at heart, so we belong together!" Catseye exclaimed.
"Delusional!? You should talk! You think you're a cat!" Monet sniffed.
"Catseye IS a cat!"
"Hairball-spitter!"
"Egomaniac!"
"Fleabag!"
"Spoiled brat!" The two girls hissed at each other. They were ready to catfight when they saw Ace race by on a blue 4-wheeled ATV.
"Gotta find the guys…Gotta find the guys…Gotta find the guys…" Ace chanted like a mantra. Monet and Sharon blinked at that.
"ACE!!!" They squealed in delight.
"Taxi!" Monet called. A taxi pulled up.
"Where to, mac?"
"Follow that ATV with the sexy feral on it! If you lose him, I will pound you!" Monet ordered as she and Sharon jumped in. The taxi raced off. It sped by Rictor riding Jack as a horse.
"Whoa, man! You see that?!" Randy asked. Jack nodded. "Hi-O Beast King! Awaaaayyyyyy!!!" Jack turned and raced after the taxi and ATV.

(Malibu Mall)
"What a great haul." Theresa grinned. She, Rahne, and Dial-Up left the mall, carrying several bags each.
"Aye. What a great visit." Rahne laughed.
"I always wanted this novel." Dial-Up smiled as she looked at a book. They saw Ace race towards them on his ATV.
"Guys! We got trouble! We got trouble!" Ace screamed. He crashed his ATV into a bath and body shop. "AAAGH!!!" Ace flew out and landed in front of the two mutants and Malibu Joe. "Oh, healing factor or no, I'm going to feel that one in the morning." Ace groaned as he got to his feet. "Hey guys."
"Guys!" Rictor rode up on Jack. The Mexican mutant jumped off, and Beast King changed back to his normal human form.
"Man, Rictor. You totally need to lay off on the double cheeseburgers for sure, dude." Jack grumbled, putting a hand on his back. The Mexican mutant grumbled something in Spanish under his breath, then turned to the girls.
"We saw Ace riding and decided to follow. What's going on here?"
"Dreadnoks in Malibu!" Ace replied. "They're posing as a rock band in the fair."
"Dazzler's there!" Rahne realized. "She's in trouble!"
"Not to mention the other Blitzers." Ace added.
"Well, how are we going to get there?" Dial-Up wondered.
"I am totally not carrying anybody else today!" Jack snapped. "I had a rough time holding up fat man over here!" Jack pointed at Randy with his thumb.
"Hey screw you!" Rictor snapped. "I'm not that heavy and I wasn't on your back for that long!"
"Guys, stop!" Rahne said, pushing them apart.
"No way an ATV can carry us all." Siryn sighed.
"The jeep we carried can…Oh no." Dial-Up groaned as she turned around. Ace had swiped the keys to a bus as part of a prize sweepstakes display. "Ace!"
"C'mon! This will carry us all." Ace grinned as he leaned out the driver's seat. Siryn shrugged.
"The East Coast guys do this kind of thing all the time, so why not?" Theresa shrugged. She, Rahne, Rictor, Jack, and Dial-Up jumped in the bus, carrying their shopping. The taxi stopped near them.
"Wait! Acey! Take me with you baby!" Monet screamed as she and Sharon ran out.
"Screw her! Take Catseye! Take Catseye!" Sharon screamed. Ace didn't hear them because he was taking off.
"Hey, that lion kid stole that bus!" A mall cop yelled as he ran out. "Somebody call the police!"
Well, looks like the madness just keeps on coming! What insanity will happen next? Can the other West Coast Misfits be gathered up? Will Dazzler and the Blitzers be OK? Will Monet and Sharon stop going after Ace? How many screws are loose in Virus's mind? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
