FEEDBACK

 

FEEDBACK

Real Name: Albert Louis
First Appearance: Alpha Flight (Vol. 1) #118, March 1993

Powers: Feedback is a mutant capable of producing bio-electrical energy in various forms, and absorbing outside forms of electromagnetic force directed at him to increase his energy reserves.

He can radiate electrical surges from his skin, or direct the energy out in blasts from his fingertips. Albert can also produce tangible energy fields shaped from his electricity, which could be used for protection or made into animated shapes like a giant, solid fist or his "shocktroopers".

The "shocktroopers" are humanoid masses of electricity with the full range of movement that can physically interact with objects, yet produce high-voltage electricity enough to stun or kill a man on contact. These "shocktroopers" are an inherent aspect of Feedback's powers and not a skill he has cultivated: He subconsciously manifested them before his powers had even stabilized after their initial development, and demonstrated no difficulty or need for concentration to direct their actions. Though they don't speak or demonstrate individual traits or thought, it's possible the "shocktroopers" are actually created with a semi-autonomous portion of Feedback's mind directing them, allowing them to maintain and operate more or less independently of Albert's own active mind.

HINDSIGHT II

 

HINDSIGHT

Real Name: Nathaniel Carver
First Appearance: Generation X (Vol. 2) #1, July 2017

Powers: Hindsight possesses the mutant power of psychometry.

Through physical contact, he is able to read the history of any person or object. Nathaniel can read the psychic residue left on objects by past events, allowing him to potentially read the thoughts people were having in the past when they touched the object. Hindsight also gets a full-immersive experience when touching people, automatically providing him with their memories over a wide period to experience them all at once.

TRIAGE

 

 

TRIAGE

Real Name: Christopher Muse
First Appearance: All-New X-Men (Vol. 1) #1, January 2013

Powers: Triage has the mutant ability to manipulate entropic forces. This allows him to heal himself and others on contact or through close proximity. His power operates through an infusion of life-force energy, similar to Dagger. This excess living energy is absorbed by the injured party and turned towards revitalizing them and accelerating the natural healing processes of the body. Not only can he heal almost any injury, Triage can even restore the recently deceased by rekindling the energy of life inside their bodies with his life-force infusions. If he catches someone a few moments after death, they will fully recover as if they hadn't died at all.

If someone has been dead for a period of time, however, Triage cannot fully reverse the cellular decay which sets in after the body fails. Instead, he creates something akin to a zombie, reanimating the deceased's physical frame and at least an echo of their mind. The life-force cannot be rekindled in bodies like this, so it seems more like Triage's energy infusion serves as an independent animating force for the "zombie". Having only done so once, it's unknown how long a person will last in this state, but presumably it would be only a temporary reanimation as the life-force infusion fades.

EARTH FORCE

 

 

EARTH FORCE

Roster (from top to bottom): Skyhawk (Winston Manchester); Earth Lord (Kyle Brock); and Wind Warrior (Pamela Shaw)

First Appearance: The Mighty Thor (Vol. 1) #395, September 1988

History and Powers: The Earth Force is a team of three human beings who were granted superhuman powers by the Heliopolitan death god, Seth. The leading gods of Heliopolis were once worshipped by the people of ancient Egypt.

Policeman Kyle Brock, businessman Winston Manchester, and housewife Pamela Shaw were all patients in the same New York City hospital to which the injured Asgardian god, Hogun, had been brought. Brock had been shot by criminals, Manchester had been hospitalized due to overwork, and Shaw had attempted suicide after her baby had died and her husband had left her.

Seth brought the three patients to his own "dimension of death," healed them, and infused the three with energy to mutate them into superhumanly powered forms, claiming he wanted to transform them into "a force to preserve and protect the Earth." Thus, Brock became Earth Lord, Manchester became Skyhawk, and Shaw became Wind Warrior.

Skyhawk possesses superhuman size, strength (Class 10), and can fly by means of his powerful under arm-to-rib cage wings.

Earth Lord possesses superhuman size, strength (Class 100), and his power draws strength and mass from the ground to become a giant. Besides his superhuman strength, he is highly resistant to physical injury.

Wind Warrior possesses superhuman size, strength (Class 10), and can transform her body to become winds and whirlwinds of strengths ranging up to tornado force. She can fly by summoning winds strong enough to bear her aloft.

EARTH-MOVER

 

 

EARTH-MOVER

Real Name: Maximillian Stone
First Appearance: Iron Man (Vol. 1) #298, November 1993

Powers: Dr. Maximillian Stone was the Project Director of Stark Enterprises' Acheron Mountain Geothermal Research Facility which was designed inside of an extinct volcano to study geothermal energy. An earthquake occurred which impacted the facility's drill core. In order to prevent the facility from being flooded by magma, Dr. Stone attempted to shut down the drill manually by entering the facility's core level deep within the volcano. An additional tremor created a chasm, and Dr. Stone fell into a layer of magma. Dr. Stone was rescued by a sentient entity of living magma that had been drawn to the local magma currents caused by the drilling rig. Weakened by the cooler magma layer the entity had found itself in, the entity could not maintain Dr. Stone's life for long and would soon die. The entity proposed an alternative: To combine their forms, both physically and mentally, in order to survive. Dr. Stone agreed, and the entity formed a rocky cocoon that enveloped them both. Soon after, their essence became the rocky entity which called itself Earth-Mover.

As Earth-Mover, his body was composed entirely of rock. He had superhuman strength and durability. If damaged or broken, his body could reform itself. He could liquefy by raising his temperature to shift from solid rock into magma. While in his magma form, he could liquefy other rock in his area on contact, assimilating it to become a larger and stronger rock form when he reverted to solid state. Although Earth-Mover still possessed the intellect and faculties of Dr. Stone, he was unable at that time to clearly vocalize his thoughts.

Dr. Maximillian Stone was a gifted intellect with a Ph.D. in geophysics. He was a geothermal scientist with expertise in drilling technology.

CHOIR

 

 

CHOIR

Real Name: Irina Clayton
First Appearance: New X-Men (Vol. 1) #119, December 2001

Powers: Choir is a mutant who possesses at least 4 mouths scattered over the surface of her neck. Each mouth is comprised of the vestibule and the oral cavity proper, and contains lips, teeth, tongue, salivary glands all connected to superhumanly enhanced lungs, throat, and vocal tract.

Her mutant power is to manipulate her voice in abnormal ways. She can create multiple sounds with different melodies and sonic signatures, resembling multiple voices appearing from different locations. She also demonstrated the ability to harmonize, creating a series of several voices that should be impossible for a normal human's voice box and can do so while maintaining a conversation using her main mouth.

MESMERO

 

 

MESMERO

Real Name: Vincent
First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #49, October 1968

Powers: Mesmero has the mutant power of ultra-hypnosis, a psionic ability enabling him use eye-to-eye contact to place other people into a highly-suggestible state where they are extremely open to influence from him. This enables him to control his victims through powerful mental commands that can compel specific actions or specific behavior patterns from them. He can tell people to fall asleep, to hand over their weapon, to remain where they are, etc, and the hypnotic suggestion will be too powerful to resist. His influence over behavior allows him to convince people to do anything he asks without questioning their own reasons for doing so. He can command people to remain his willing slaves, create false memories or personalities for them to act out, or convince them to suddenly feel a different way about a topic or person. Mesmero can also psionically trigger intense pain and anguish in people simply by wishing it, construct mental blocks preventing them from ever accessing certain memories or carrying out certain actions, and create lasting illusions in the minds of others that convince them that they or someone else looks quite different than they actually do.
