NATURE GIRL

 

NATURE GIRL

Real Name: Lin Li

First Appearance: Wolverine & The X-Men (Vol. 2) #1, May 2014

Powers: Nature Girl's mutant power is empathic biota manipulation, allowing her to psionically control and communicate with all forms of flora and fauna in her vicinity. She anthropomorphizes the sensations she receives from these organisms, and believes they're actually talking to her. Like Mirage, she may be establishing a quasi-telepathic rapport with these organisms. She can talk to creatures and derive information from them, or ask them to do things on her behalf. Similarly, she can communicate with trees and other forms of plant-life, causing them to act at her direction and even manipulate them on a molecular level.

Her power may also extend to being able to sense a planet's weather patterns, enabling her to exhibit weather control powers similar to Storm's.

SCORPION BOY

 

SCORPION BOY

Real Name: Rico

First Appearance: Nightcrawler (Vol. 4) #1, June 2014

Powers: Scorpion Boy's mutation grants him an arthropod physiology. His body combines the physical traits of an ant, a scorpion, and an arachnid. He has six arachnid-like legs and two arms with pincer claws instead of normal hands. He has enhanced mandibles and eyes with no pupils. His pincers and jaw are strong enough to crush small metal items.

He has translucent wings allowing flight over short distances, but cannot support his full weight for long periods. and a scorpion-like tail with a stinger on the tip. The tail can be used as a clubbing weapon or additional limb with limited prehensile capabilities. It is not yet known if his tail's stinger actually delivers venom, though by itself it can be used as an effective stabbing weapon if needed. With his mixed physiology, it's uncertain to what extent he possesses the proportionate abilities of which arthropods.

It's possible that he possesses superhuman strength, superhuman speed, agility, endurance, reflexes, recuperative powers, balance, coordination, and sense of equilibrium. It has been established that he can skitter over walls and ceilings, which implies the ability to manipulate the inter-atomic binding forces of matter, allowing him to form temporary molecular bonds between his body and another object, enabling him to cling to solid surfaces and scale walls simply by placing his hands on them. However, the full extent of his mutant abilities remain to be seen.

CREEP

 

CREEP

Real Name: Marisol Guerra

First Appearance: Storm (Vol. 3) #1, September 2014

Powers: Also known as Flourish, Creep's mutant power is a form of reactive botanopathy. Seeds, spores, and other forms of tiny or even microscopic plant life and vegetable matter respond to her presence, rapidly expanding and growing to full bloom. Her power is highly responsive to her emotions, creating beautiful flowers when she's happy or spreading spores, mold and fungus when she's depressed. Although she presumably has the potential for greater control over vegetation, she had not reached that level yet.

TIN MAN

 

TIN MAN

Real Name: Owen Backes

First Appearance: X-Men (Vol. 3) #40, March 2013

Powers: Tin Man is a technokinetic, born with the mutant ability to animate and control mechanical systems. He specializes in reconstructing raw materials into lifelike robotics, such as forging a massive hand able to grab and strike at his environment, or building an exoskeleton of metal around himself like a giant robot body. Tin Man's bio-mechanical physiology has also absorbed metal into his biology, using scrap to rebuild and replace damaged organic tissue. This makes him into a naturally-occurring cyborg. The extent to which he can upgrade and alter his own body in this manner is unknown.

SHARK GIRL

 

SHARK GIRL

Real Name: Iara dos Santos

First Appearance: Wolverine & The X-Men (Vol. 1) #20, January 2013

Powers: Shark Girl is a mutant transmorph able to assume shark-like traits. In her transmorph state, she gained mass and altered her physiology to function as a bipedal humanoid shark. Iara has superhuman strength, swimming speed, endurance, reflexes, and her body is more resistant to general physical harm, temperature lows, and intense ocean pressure. She can breathe underwater, has an enhanced sense of smell and sensitivity to bio-magnetic fields, as well as sharpened teeth and claws. Her vision and hearing are also more acute than normal, and attuned towards underwater perception.

SANTI SARDINA

 

SANTI SARDINA

Real Name: Santi Sardina

First Appearance: X-Men Legacy (Vol. 2) #8, May 2013

Powers: Santi Sardina’s mutant power casts an instinctive psychic effect which causes people to praise him. Often times, this causes people to subliminally re-attribute any success or positive outcome in their environment as if it was Santi's doing, giving him the credit. No participatory action is needed from him for the effect to take place. If he's just walking by when someone receives a gift, enjoys a book of poetry, or is saved by a firefighter or super-hero, he gets the credit for the positive event. Even the general good feelings people might have for a given person are re-attributed towards Santi, without a specific event or act in mind.

The exact mechanism of Santi's power is unknown, but it has considerable range: The principal at his school attributed successes to Santi over the morning announcements, despite being unable to see or hear Santi at the time, and Santi's power could be expressed over live television. When Santi actively involves himself in the narrative, people find whatever he says to be positive as well. A group of anti-mutant activists suddenly found mutants to be great when Santi announced he was a mutant in their presence. The positivity effect is compulsive and can produce contradictory instincts: If people have to think about why they're praising Santi or a certain thing, it can causes headaches or make them just give up and move on to something else.

GOLDBALLS

 

GOLDBALLS

Real Name: Fabio Medina

First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 3) #1, April 2013

Powers: Goldballs' mutant ability produces solid spheres of gold coloration, not composition. They tend to manifest in motion, though he can control their size, velocity, direction, and force of their appearance. There is no limit to the number of spheres he can produce. They make a “POINK!” sound upon impact, and it was recently learned that the spheres are actually compact organic matter housing unfertilized and unviable eggs.
