NEW LIFE

FRIENDS

Here are some of Skin's closest allies...

Chamber

Real Name: Jonothon Evan Starsmore

Angelo's best bud and current member of the X-Men. Both monsters trying to forget their previous lives, Jono and Angelo have learned to lean on each other when the going gets tough. Jono was born and raised in England, and had intentions of becoming a musician until his mutant abilities first manifested themselves by blowing a gaping hole in his chest and face. Now his only means of communication is telepathy as his mouth and chest are now a bio-nuclear psionic furnace. He also has an on again off again relationship with Husk.

Husk

Real Name: Paige Guthrie

Paige Guthrie first met Angelo when she woke up as the prisoner of the alien Phalanx and realized that her "blanket" was actually a fellow mutant with distended Skin! She is Skin's closest friend next to Chamber. When Generation X first formed Angelo and Paige spent a lot of time together, often jokingly talking about a relationship, but Paige has since settled on Jono. Paige is one of the many siblings of Cannonball, former team leader and founding member of both the New Mutants and X-Force, so she feels she has a lot to live up to. Since Generation X dispanded, Husk has set out on her own to save lives in her own unique way.

Jubilee

Real Name: Jubilation "Jubes" Lee (called "Jubecita" by Skin)

Jubilee is the youngest member of Generation X, not including the Twins. After her Chinese- American parents were killed by the gangsters Reno and Molokai near their home in Beverly Hills, she was adopted by her stuck-up next door neighbors, also with the surname Lee. After a very brief stay, she ran away, and became a mallrat, until her encounter with the X-Men and their ally, the mutant teleporter Gateway. She spent some time squatting in the X-Men's Australian base, until she was accepted in their ranks after saving the life of Wolverine, and remained with them until the formation of Generation X. Then she uses her firework-like plasma abilities to fight alongside her teammates. Currently she has returned to L.A. along with Skin.

Skin, Chamber, Husk and Jubilee were all members of Generation X, a team of young mutants educated in the use of there powers by former X-Man, Banshee, and former villain, the onetime White Queen.

Howard The Duck

Real Name: Howard

Howard is a duck. Trapped in a world he never made by an accident that can never be recreated he has settled on this hairless-monkey dominated planet in the area known as Cleveland. He first met Angelo on a trip to LA, where he found both Skin and Chamber hitchhiking to Angelo's old home. In LA he joined Jono in a bar-fight do distract Angelo's old gang. He was able to hold his own with the street wise gang members by relying on his tried and true martial arts form, Quack Fu. Since that encounter both he and Angelo have learned to consider each other trusted friends.

Beverly

Real Name: Beverly Switzer

Human girlfriend of the duck from who-knows-where! (just think a ditzier version of Spidey's wife M.J.) As far as we know, Skin has yet to meet Howard's girlfriend.

Wolverine

Real Name: Logan

Wolverine, the ol' Canucklehead with the adamantium claws was Jubilee's mentor before she joined Generation X, now he is a guest instructor at the school from time to time. He has come to the Academy a few times, often facing off against Skin. Although Skin repeatedly failed, Wolverine seems to think he shows potential.

Spider-Man

Real Name: Peter Parker (but shhh, it's a secret)

Spidey's run into the kids from Gen X a few times, the first time was during a trip to South Central L.A. to investigate a threat made to the area (by Major Love), he ran into Skin, Chamber and Husk who were investigating the same claim. Although he wanted to handle the threat alone, he let Skin help him when he found out that it was Skin's home they were trying to protect. Spidey could tell Skin was a rookie, and gave him a few pointers on what it takes to be a hero.

The Beast

Real Name: Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy

Founding member of the X-Men and X-Factor, former Avenger and Defender, and world- renowned geneticist, Hank McCoy is probably the one of the most respected mutants in the world. The bouncing bundle of blue fur has often been both friend and teacher to Generation X, and if it wasn't for him, Skin never would have joined the team.

Speedball

Real Name: Robert Baldwin

Also Known As: The Masked Marvel, Toothpick, Bubbles

Young Robbie Baldwin has the rather useful ability to produce kinetic bubbles that can absorb any impact, and bounce it back! While this ability normally makes him impossible to stop or hit, Skin is one of those few guys that can stop him in his tracks. Skin and Speedball have only met a few times, but every time they got into a fight.

FOES

Here is what little there is of Skin's Rogue's Gallery... don't blame him if they suck...

X-Cutioner

Real Name: Carl Denti

Carl was like any other agent in the FBI, dedicated, and willing to do anything to see justice done. Then, after the death of fellow agent Fred Duncan (friend of Charles Xavier), he was assigned the cases that Fred left behind, and more. Fred Duncan had collected many artifacts from his dealings with mutants, and massive amounts of information on mutants, good and bad. Carl now saw mutants as people who could use their powers to get away with crimes that normal people could not. He made it his mission to punish mutants that had committed crimes against humanity, and punish them. Execute them. He has targeted many mutants, including Skin. After he failed to kill Skin, and after he learned that he may have been wrong about accusing Skin in the first place, Carl became more unstable then ever.

Glorian

Real Name: Thomas Gideon

Also Known As: The Shaper of Dreams

Thomas was little more then a rich man's son until a radioactive accident nearly killed him. He was spared by the being known as the Shaper of Worlds, who gave him the power to shape the dreams of others. Now he calls himself Glorian: Shaper of Worlds, and uses his powers to make others dreams come true, or what he sees as their dreams, once in his dream world, his victims are completely under his control. When he encountered Generation X, he made it his mission to bring all of their dreams to "reality", but no matter how he tried he could not control Skin. As hard as it was for Glorian to believe, Skin had no fantasy that he wanted fulfilled. Finally, angered at his failure, he sent Skin and the rest of Generation X home, well, to Skin's home anyway.

The Dragon

Real Name: unknown

In a fairy and elf filled dimension that intermingles with Cassidy Keep (ancestral home of Banshee) every 300 years or so, Skin met his, biggest, foe yet. A dragon that, for lack of a better term, is a bully to the elfin inhabitants of the land, and according to him, head of an organization that thinks like he does. In order to keep the dragon away from his friends who were trying to fix the "Glamour Machine" (a contraption that cleans the air of that land), Skin attempted to slay the dragon, much to the creature's amusement. Although Skin tried valiantly to defeat his massive foe, it was all for not. It was only with the help of his teammate Penance (then Monet) that he was able to stop the dragon.

Major Love

Real Name: unknown

An old hippie that believes that the world is a harsh place, and that he should do something about it. That something involves putting everyone else out of their misery. He and his team of highly organized military men that he calls Direct Euthanasia Action Division (D.E.A.D.), have made it their mission to kill everyone for their own good, starting with Skin's home in South Central L.A. Major Love believes he cannot be stopped, because he has the two things that, according to him, guarantee success, a righteous cause and rich parents (although his parents would have to be pretty old if they are still alive). Skin, Chamber and Husk traveled to L.A. when they heard something might be up, there they ran into the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, who helped Skin take down Major Love and D.E.A.D.
