So I had posted about my character idea in the interest check but it seems to have been missed, so I’ll reiterate it here in the OOC. My character was supposed to be born as a part of conjoined twins, where days before the birth, one twin’s X-Gene activated prematurely and turned it into energy that was absorbed by the remaining twin. This wouldn’t amount to anything until my character hit puberty and his X-Gene activated.

Now he could hear the voice of his twin in his head, with the twins being able to separate for short periods of time. My character would fall unconscious during this separation while the twin becomes an energy being that can fly, shoot blasts, and change shapes. Initially they would only be able to separate for a few minutes at most.

But as I was coming up with stuff to expand the back story, I wanted to know just how involved the non-mutant Marvel stuff is involved with this RP? I was wondering if superhero teams were a thing, specifically Alpha Flight? They are a team of Canadian superheroes that my character idolizes and wants to join, but is rejected due to his lack of control over his powers. This would be one of the reasons to join the institute as he wants to grow stronger.

Once I get an answer on the setting and if Alpha Flight is a thing, I’ll start working on my character sheet.
