[center][img=http://oi59.tinypic.com/11brp5i.jpg][/center] Name: James Leon Summers Alias: Charge Age: 17 Powers: James did, from a early age show powers similar to those of the other mutants of the Summers family. He holds the ability of energy redirection, theoretically, James is able to redirect and, to some extent, boost all forms of energy, ranging from heat to electricity to kinetic. Currently, his skill allows him to only manipulate kinetic energy, allowing him to redirect the force of a kinetic blast into something else, for instance, turn the force from him jumping from a 5 story window into a shock-wave, or to turn a opponents physical force against him. He's able to manifest the kinetic energy as kinetic blasts, or to charge another object with them, or to direct the energy through his body, allowing him to perform superhuman feats for brief moments. As of right now, he can channel, and safely hold kinetic energy up to heavy arms, he's redirected the kinetic force of a shotgun at pointblank previously. He holds latent psychic abilities in the telepathy-area. Weaknesses: Other energies, that aren't kinetic he can't do much about, not yet. He also cannot generate any form of energy on a superhuman level, only manipulate energy that's already there. Energy generated from his own body isn't enough for him to boost. Higher amounts of kinetic energy comes with greater risk, as if the overload of kinetic energy just builds in him... Well, let's just say it won't be pretty. Unlike other members of the Summers family, he is not immune to the energy waves from his relatives. Personality: Unlike his father, James is something of a introvert, he doesn't mind people but he's not one to actively look for companionship, and sometimes he prefers to be alone. In his life, he's been the kid who's been sitting in the back of his class, and whenever the teacher asked a question he kept his hand down, despite being sure he knew the answer that the teacher was looking for. He's intelligent, well, text-book smart, at least. He lacks tact when it comes to socializing with people, and due to his introvert nature, he's not sure about what he's supposed to say in a situation, that might often lead him into awkward situations. James does have a very high threshold for how much he can take before he gets angry, but when he's angry, he gets really angry just like both of his uncles. Appearance: Jeans, dress-shirt, tie. Always very proper looking. Hoodie and a modified hockey-mask to fit to his face and offer him some protection while in costume. Brief bio: Born to Scott Summers and Jean Grey, James came from the get-go from a very prestigious family, both in the human, and the mutant world. Things were expected of him, by Scott, and by the rest of the world, he was expected to carry on the legacy of the Grey family in the human world, to be a preppy kid who was the top of his class, a role-model of what all children should be like. But at the same time, he was expected to be a force to be reckoned with in the mutant world. Expected to have both the devastating energy powers of the Summers family, and the psionic powers of his mother, James was always under a lot of pressure. Soon in his life, his parents would see that their pressure on him was misplaced, as he couldn't live up to the expectations they had on him, but they loved him, regardless. Scott taught him about the importance of the teachings of Xavier, that mutants and humans should live in harmony, that he should be proud of who he were, and Scott was there to help James with his powers every step of the way. James's powers broke out when he was only nine years old, younger than Scott's had, and about the same time Jean's had when she was a little girl. He was put through a lot of training to learn to control his powers, and as of these days, he's got very good control over his kinetic powers, able to redirect kinetic force that no human could handle being thrown at him. James has always been fascinated by the adventures his parents went through in their youth, and he's always hoped to go on some himself, and with the martial arts training Scott gave him, he's protecting the people of Miami in his hoodie and modified hockey-mask, using his powers the best he can. Notes: Black Belt in Judo, also trained in Kaw Maga and Systema. James excels in handling people much stronger than himself by turning their strength against them and by fluxuating his own strength via a wide variety of dirty tricks. (Blow a stungrenade in his palm and redirect the power into his arm is one of his favorites.) James carries a small pouch with him at more or less all times where he puts two steel knuckle-dusters and a small variety of other weapons. James does not like to flaunt the fact that his parents are loaded, but rather likes to make people think he's just your average middle-class kid, as he does not like the way money affects people. Unknowingly to James, there's some [I] Very[/i] dark secrets in his family tree.
