X-Men: The New Recruits

[Corbis]

Story:
With the recent defeat of the X-Men by the power mad super-mutant Apocalypse, Professor Xavier realized that he needed to find some new recruits not only to help stop Apocalypse, but to protect them from other dangerous factions that would do them harm. The war on Apocalypse has hit a quiet resting point, giving both sides the time they need to recoup and boost their numbers. A war is not without losses, Apocalypse has captured Beast, Polaris, Havoc, and Forge; making them his new horsemen.

Rules:
Follow the rules of M&L. Nothing profane/obsene/innapproate will be allowed.
No insane God-modding. You character isn't all-knowing, keep that in mind when you post.
The process of making the captured mutants become horseman takes a while, so it is possible to save some of them.
Angel is playable as Arch-Angel ONLY. He is seperate from both Apocalypse's forces and the X-Men.




Here's a basic template for your character. You can use an existing X-Man or make a new mutant. (Brotherhood might be included later.)

Background: Michael grew up always feeling like he should help people. Michael grew up with his twin brother Justin. Michael and Justin discovered their powers earlier than most mutants. Michael learned slight control of these powers, but still had trouble controlling them. Mulitple times he saved people, without revealing himself. Then one day his powers went out of control and seriously injured civilians in the area. Xavier discovered him and Justin and brought him to the mansion. Since Michael already had practice in controlling his powers, he was made an official X-man on his 15th birthday.

Power: Michael has the abilities to control and manipulate any kind of energy and can manipulate it to use against his enemies. He can also use the energy to enhance his natural human abilities. Such as: enpowering muscles to give him imense strength and speed. He can also use the energy to push himself off the ground and fly.

ok im gonna giv this a go haha:

Code name: Spectre

Name: Justin Shepard

Age: 15

Power: teleportation and semi-super strength(ok not as invincible as he sounds. its not lik superman strength. its kinda in the 30 ton range)
occupation: none

location: charlotte, nc

appearance: athletic but lean (so lik skinny but muscular lol idk how to explain it. kinda lik princes guy). medium brown short but not too short hair. brown eyes. mildly tan skin. about 5'8"

Backround: Justin grew up with his brother, michael, and their family. he found out his powers early lik his brother, and could control them fairly well, but didnt use them often at all. because of not using them he was not asked to go to the x mansion lik his brother, but after michaels accident with some civilians, his parents thought justin would turn out to be a freak lik his brother and kicked him out. he now lives in charlotte, nc. he has joined an underground fighting league to earn money, but he is very careful to not use his full strength to give away his powers, and he never uses teleportation. the government allowed him to buy a really nice condo, because they kno he can pay for it with his mysterious income.

Umm, juggernaut and superman are both at class 100 superstrength, which means they can lift over 100 tons (thats over 200,000 pounds).

Colossus is in the 70 ton range.

Spidey and Venom are both in the 10 ton range.

About what area of strength is your character?

Sorry for dissecting your powers, it's just that I'm a major nerd in these areas.
