Code Name: X-Man
Real Name: Nate Grey
Age: 19
Powers: A psychic of the higest order, Nate's power is said to rival that of Apocalypse. He possesses the innate ability to tap into the enormous psychic resources of the astral plane in order to utilize his psychic and mental energies for a variety of effects. He usually manifests his psychic energy in the form of hard-psi or soft-psi. Hard psi is commonly known as telekinesis, and Nate can use it to telekinetically levitate and direct physical objects, manipulating the objects in nearly any way imaginable. He can fire and project devastating mental bolts of force that could pierce through solid titanium. He can cause violent explosive reactions in matter, which may be utilized by mentally placing psionic energy inside an object, and cause it to explode. He can use his telekinesis as a form of flight, and is possibly able to break the sound barrier if he wished. He can project psychic force fields and barriers to shield himself and others from physical attacks. He can utilize his telekinesis to help achieve great force behind his punches in order to increase the physical power of his blows. He is even able to create a physical armor from pure psionic energy, enhancing his physical strength and defence. He can use his telekinesis to channel the Earth's magnetic field through the electrocurrent of his brain and generate devastating electromagnetic pulses. Nate even learned that he could use his telekinesis to transport himself into other dimensions by mentally bending the dimensional barriers that separate one reality from another.
Soft-psi is commonly known as telepathy, and Nate usually utilizes it to scan for brain wave patterns in sentient beings. He can project and manipulate thoughts and the mind, usually being able to implant false memories, alter their personalities, even wipe out their entire mind at will. He has the innate ability to learn and adapt by instinctively absorbing the knowledge of others, learning new skills, abilities and even languages almost instantly. He can forge psychic links in order to travel in astral form. He possesses the ability to generate realistic illusions out of psi-plasm, the substance that is created from the mind. His telepathy is so powerful that he is able to establish mental defenses against new psionic attacks. He is able to give a substance to astral energy to solidify psychic forms even pull the astral projections of other telepaths into the physical world. He can fire psionic blasts that can scramble an opponents thought processess (causing the victim either intense pain, or rendering them unconscious).
His knowledge and abilities to use his powers increases as well as the amount his powers take out of him from use decreases with every battle as long as he is given time to rest. He also has an invisible psionic shield around him that helps protect him from minor attacks even when his guard is down as well as offer some form of rapid healing.

History: Nate is grew up an only child and the closest people he had to siblings were his older cousin Sara and his younger cousin Jean. Sara was two years older than Nate while Jean was a year younger, and it seemed with each year Sara became less and less interested in hanging out with her younger, male cousin.
When Nate was twelve Jean's best friend Annie was in a car accident and Jean become somewhat shut off from him and everyone else. During the following year Jean shut Nate out and fourteen-year-old Sara became more interested in sleep overs, boys and make up than rock climbing or any other activity containing Nate. By time Nate was fifteen him and Sara barely spoke and although him and Jean were once again close she was in the process of moving to a boarding school in upstate New York. All these factors made it a no brainer when Nate's parents inquired on his thoughts about moving to California for his fathers job.
At sixteen years old Nate's powers developed during a rock climbing accident. When a less than secure rope came loose Nate found himself free falling toward the rocky ground below, but within fifteen feet of death his drop slowed to almost still and the rock beneath miraculously cracked and spun up to his feet. No longer having his close relationship with either of his cousins he never thought to talk to them about it. Though it would have proved beneficial as the next couple years of his life would take a turn for the worst. All the while Nate's own untapped abilities would block him form Cerebro.
Nate's powers had developed late and were rapidly expanding at a rate he couldn't control. The next noticable incident came when a friend commented on how hot a picture of his girlfriend was, but the picture was Jean and his friend's thoughts were less than acceptable in Nate's protective opinion. What was meant to be warning punched to the chest ended up throwing the other boy across the room and breaking several ribs. During an argument with his father the entire fireplace exploded and destroyed the livingroom. The incident was referred to as a freak explosion caused by too much heat.
In an attempt to control himself better Nate tried to psychicly numb out his own emotions, and in doing so locked up a violent part of himself in an unstable box in his head. This attempt went well for a few months and Nate resorted to simply practicing control of telekinisis. When Nate was sucker punched by his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend it caught him by surprise and led to a mass break out of his built up anger. Although his return punch did send the ex-boyfriend into a wall it was the unseen mental bolt that followed which put him into a coma.
Nate's parents were shocked at his sudden violent streak and transferred him to a more private school in an attempt to give him some space and attention, but an unstable Nate took it as their attempt to get rid of him. It was during his stay at this school that mutants were discovered, and every anti-mutant thought in the school was returned with a coma-inducing mental bolt. Nate could hear everything, every thought no matter where in the school he was, and it drove him over the edge. One night a small suspicion about him being a mutant sent a thirteen year old girl into a coma and Nate left the school for good.
Nate went through the next year of his life alone and in hiding from his parents. Rather than fear his powers he tried to embrace them and at the same time strengthen the barrier around his anger and violence rather than coping with his own emotions. At nineteen years old, after two years of life on his own, Nate spotted someone familiar in one of the first Apocylpse broadcasts; Jean. The news from Apocylpse become the focus of his life; and he was astounded to find his younger cousin posessing, as well as controlling, powers very similiar to his own. After the Apocylpse was thwarted, and Jean came out alive, Nate headed to this institute to see if it could be of any use to him.
Sample Post: Suddenly it dawned on him, his telekinisis. With it he could lift objects up off the ground, even quite heavy objects when he put his mind to it. Why couldn't he do the same to himself? His greatest dream had been to fly, soar up off the ground and become as free as a bird. "All I need to do..." he began concentrating "...is focus my power inwards and..." his feet began to lift up off the ground. Arrgh...my head feels like it'll explode any minute...but I can't stop...I have to push it to the limit! Nate pushed himself as he was surrounded in pure psionic energy, a small trickle of blood came from his nose. He suddenly began to soar high up taking off like a rocket. "Wooohooo!"
But suddenly he lost concentration and started to fall and he pushed his power again to regain flight and took off and flew back down into the ground with a *CRASH!* "Oww...d*** that hurt..." he said no longer glowing with energy. He brushed himself off "well that could've gone better, but for a first try...not bad."
