TAYLOR

 

TAYLOR

Real Name: Taylor

First Appearance: X-Factor (Vol. 1) #83, October 1992

Powers: Taylor’s mutant ability is to generate an unknown energy substance referred to as “cold fire”. Though it supposedly does not burn, the “cold fire” expels from Taylor's hands looking much like normal fire, at which point it takes shape as sculptures formed from Taylor's imagination. These sculptures became physically solid after creation, but tended to remain surrounded by an aura of “fire” and were not apparently subject to gravity.

PIROUETTE

 

PIROUETTE

Real Name: JoBeth

First Appearance: X-Factor (Vol. 1) #82, September 1992

Powers: Pirouette is a mutant with the ability to rotate her body around its lengthwise axis at superhuman speeds. She can spin as fast as 400 revolutions per minute, and still speak, hear, and see her environment while spinning. Her power makes it possible for her to move along the ground in any direction at superhuman speeds while stirring up high-velocity winds in an air funnel around herself. This wind effect can lift her up off the ground, and can be redirected by her body motion to send cyclonic blasts of compressed air towards her opponents, or create secondary funnels to sweep them off the ground, without tiring appreciably.

While spinning, Pirouette cannot be touched or caught due to the tremendous angular momentum created by her rotation. Piroutte's sense of balance is no longer determined by her inner ears' semi-circular canals, but seems to be derived from her sight.

LUKAS

 

LUKAS

Real Name: Lukas

First Appearance: X-Factor (Vol. 1) #82, September 1992

Powers: Lukas is a mutant-psychoactive shape-shifter. He can psionically scan the minds of other people, drawing on their phobias, fears and nightmares as a template for his morphing ability. His powers have no physical limitations, only those of his victims' imaginations. Lukas has transformed himself into giant dragons and perfectly duplicated the scorpion-like cyborg body of Cameron Hodge.

Also, Lukas has full conscious knowledge of the horrors he draws from the minds of others, and is able to sift through them and choose a form most suitable to the situation.

PRODIGAL

 

PRODIGAL

Real Name: Unrevealed

First Appearance: X-Factor (Vol. 1) #81, August 1992

Powers: Prodigal has the mutant ability to create anti-magnetic energy waves that induce corrosion in metallic substances.

Simply by gesturing from a distance, he can cause any metal to disintegrate, or anything containing metallic parts to break down into smaller unworkable pieces.
