LADY MASTERMIND & MASTERMIND II
Real Names: Regan Wyngarde (Lady Mastermind) & Martinique Jason (Mastermind II)
First Appearances: X-Treme X-Men (Vol. 1) #6, December 2001 (Regan); Gambit/Wolverine: Victims (Vol. 1) #1, September 1995 (Martinique)
Powers: Lady Mastermind (left) and Mastermind II (right) are both mutants and paternal half-sisters. They're the daughters of Jason Wyngarde, the mutant illusionist known as Mastermind. They both possess the same mutant power with the same area of skill: Telepathy with a specialization in illusion casting.
They're capable of probing the minds of other people and interacting with them on an astral plane. They can force various kinds of afflictions onto other minds, such as pain, unconsciousness, catatonia, nightmares, infantile regression, etc. Their ability to stimulate responses such as these combines with their illusions to make them seem more real. They can use their powers to appear invisible, disguise their physical appearance and those of other people, or the entire landscape. They can create interactive illusions which completely redefine how someone sees and interacts with their surroundings.
Their telepathy also enables them to condition people so that they don't question the sudden appearances or changes in circumstances caused by their power, even if they seem so fantastic that someone would logically recognize them as not real (especially someone aware of who they're facing). They can also sense other forms of illusion-casting and disperse them, either to their senses or to those of others. Their minds are also innately and highly resistant to hypnosis and other forms of outside suggestion.
