ROCKSLIDE

 


ROCKSLIDE

Real Name: Santo Vacarro
First Appearance: The New Mutants (Vol. 2) #3, September 2003

Powers: Rockslide’s mutation is that his body is composed of animated rock, possessing superhuman strength (class 75), endurance, and resistance to all forms of physical impact. He can also disengage portions of his mass such as to remove his hands to pin an opponent to the ground or fire off his hands as high-speed projectile missiles. Rockslide could not control his body parts after they separated from him, though, and so would have to physically go to retrieve his fists after launching them and manually reattach them. He could survive being broken into smaller portions by an outside force, but only if his body was brought back into one piece within a short period of time afterwards. After Nimrod virtually atomized him, however, Rockslide's power evolved to bring him beyond his original physical body.

Santo now practically exists as a psychic phantom, capable of assembling any nearby stone into a "golem" rock body for himself to possess. Therefore, he can now reform himself after being destroyed or deconstructed using any nearby rock and earth, and not just the matter of his original body. He can no longer fire off his limbs as he did in the past, but instead can explosively shatter his entire body at will and then reform moments later.

MAD JIM JASPERS

 


MAD JIM JASPERS

Real Name: Sir James Jaspers
First Appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes #377, September 1981 (Earth-238 Version); Daredevils (Vol. 1) #7, July 1983 (Earth-616 version, image only); Daredevils (Vol. 1) #9, September 1983 (full Earth-616 version)

Powers: Mad Jim Jaspers has the unrestrained mutant ability to alter reality at its fundamental level. His power is simply unlimited and impossible to fully describe: His actions alone were once considered justification for Otherworld wiping out an entire plane of reality just to get rid of him. He can warp space and matter, causing them to collapse in on themselves in completely impossible ways. He can form tesseract space, making the inside of a hollow structure far more expansive than it could possibly be. Jaspers has at least some form of telepathic or clairvoyant ability allowing him to monitor events happening far away from his present location. He can alter the linear progression of time, causing events to more forward at a different rate of speed than should be natural. Mad Jim can affect molecular structures for simple feats like changing white wine into red, or more bizarre feats such as causing humanoid boils to sprout from someone's flesh. He can teleport instantaneously between space and dimensions, drive people stark-raving mad on a whim, and construct genuine alternate realities within the confines of an existing one. Jaspers can alter his own shape to become any form imaginable, and be reduced to nothing more than a charred skeleton, then regenerate himself back to normal within seconds. He is even capable of creating fully autonomous sentient beings from nothing.

ROMA


 

ROMA

Real Name: Roma
First Appearance: Captain Britain (Vol. 1) #1, October 1976 (First UK); Marvel Team-Up (Vol. 1) #65, January 1978 (First US)

Powers: Roma is the Omniversal guardian of Otherworld, a pocket dimension adjacent to Earth along the British Isles. Like her father, Merlyn, she is a gestalt of all her counterparts throughout the multiverse.

One of the greatest sorceresses and scientists of the multiverse, Roma can resurrect the dead, bestow superhuman powers and abilities to living beings, teleport herself and others across space, time and realities, generate mystical shields, bonds, and energy bolts, and magically perform almost any imaginable feat.

Immensely intelligent, her Omniversal knowledge is matched only by that of her father and a handful of similar cosmic entities. She is virtually immortal and immune to aging. She is also an expert swordswoman, at one point leading the defense of Camelot.
