MR. SENSITIVE

Real Name: Guy Smith

First Appearance: X-Force (Vol. 1) #117, August 2001

Powers: Born with white hair, purple skin, and antennae, Guy Smith (alias “The Orphan”) developed his major mutant power during puberty: Overstimulated sensory reception.

He possessed hyper-developed sensory abilities, including sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. He had incredibly acute and nearly telescopic vision, which extends slightly into the infrared and ultraviolet ranges of light to give him increased night vision. He could, to some degree, pinpoint and isolate distant sounds, eavesdropping on conversations on the opposite end of a thick wall, detecting someone by their heart beat or muffled footfalls, and also sense certain sub- or super-sonic ranges of audio, enabling him to register the presence of ultrasonic frequencies or vibrations being transmitted between hidden machinery, the distant whine of a falling missile, etc. His sense of touch was sensitive enough to sense people and objects moving around him based on the subtle changes in temperature and airflow their passage creates. He could also count the number of bullets in a gun's chamber by the weight of the barrel. Apparently, his antennae aided his sense of touch. He used his sense of taste to determine the contents and quantity of ingredients in anything he eats.

He also seemed to have some level of heightened physical abilities, including strength, speed, agility, and reflexes. He developed self-levitation power as well, enabling him to hover in place or rise straight up a few stories. His mutant power augmented his senses to a physically debilitating level, forcing him to wear a special exoskeleton designed by Charles Xavier to function normally.

Guy Smith was a world class acrobat who mastered several forms of martial arts, including Tukong, Moosul, and Jeet Kune Do.
