@dizzy, no worries, lots of folks of all ethnicities will be present. I stated no specific year because I didn't want to limit myself in creativity but I would allow even japanese via dutch from 1609. I am basing some of Xavier after [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Xavier]St Francis Xavier[/url] who had visited india, borneo, japan and the maluku islands of indonesia in the 1500's-1550's. 

@roman: I like the nightcrawler, but there was a dibs earlier, if he doesn't do nightcrawler then I'll let you have at him. I noticed you failed to mention wall crawling or blending into shadows as powers. I say in humor: if he's going to use flintlocks, at least we know happened to his missing fingers and toes!
