>>6127574>D: Jonathan Hickman>Alt-Text: A chart of 18 circles numbered 1-18, arranged around a central circle with an X inside.>Dialouge Samples: el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, Jonathan Hickman, Peter Milligan>Professor XA genius telepath with an upper-class heritage that dreams of peaceful coexistence between Mutants and baseline humanity. A lifetime of isolation has led to a sometimes obsessive attachment to people and a desperate need for love.
>Advantage: Alpha Class TelepathyProf X can read and manipulate minds, allowing near-perfect access to intelligence and secrets as long as he is physically close to his target. Due to his ethics, he rarely uses mind control, though when he does unintended consequences are possible.
>MagnetoA holocaust survivor with infinite power and even more rage. He believes in Mutant liberation by any means necessary, including violence. While brilliant at leading from behind and fighting on the front lines, his social skills are weak, preferring to rule others through force of will rather than mutual respect.
>Advantage: Omega Class MagnetismMagneto has unlimited control over the electromagnetic spectrum. In matters of pure force, he is nigh-unbeatable.
>Moira XWhile Moira has no apparent powers other than her genius genetic skills, she claims to have the mutant ability to remember past lives. She believes the only way for mutants to survive is for all of them to unify under one House, no matter the ethical differences between them.
>Advantage: Many LivesMoira claims her past lives give her insight into how things will go “this time.” She can't see the future but her predictions are uncannily accurate.
>ApocalypseNathaniel Essex was once a widely respected geneticist. The day his powers activated he claimed his mind was possessed by“ En Sabah Nur” the alleged First Mutant destined to bring about The Revelation. Despite being seen by most as a delusional cultist, Essex now wishes to recruit Homo superior to form a new society built around the survival of the fittest.
>Advantage: Gene masteryEssex is the greatest geneticist in history. He discovered the “Essex Gene,” the source of mutant power. No one on Earth knows more about mutants and their powers than he does.
>SunfireYoshida Mariko is the heir to the Yoshida zaibatsu, one of several family-led corporations that had great power in Imperial Japan. Her mother died from radiation poisoning from the Hiroshima bombing and Yoshida corp was broken up during the US occupation. As a result, she resents the post-war American hegemony and sees mutant power as a way to build a new society in Japan, an evolution from both the flawed Meiji Empire and American domination.
>Advantage: Yoshida ClanWhile her mutant power is solar radiation, the Yoshida clan is her greatest asset. Even after the US occupation broke up its power, the Yoshidas have a large influence over Japanese politics business, organized crime, and connections to ancient mystical sects.
