The New Mutant Database: R-Z


Clark Randall, "The Corporal". Mutant Type: Feral (Feline). First Appearance: "Dark Star Rising."
Quote: Clark: Leave me. You know I'm dying. Angel: No one gets left behind.
Details: Corporal Clark Randall was one of 14 members of the elite antiterrorist task force Dark Star. When Tricorp Botanicals and Genomex injected the squad's members with an experimental Rafflesia pricei extract to enhance their fighting abilities with feral attributes, only Clark, Beau Longstreet and Angel Dorn survived the drug's lethal side effects. Their vengeance plot to plant a bomb at Tricorp headquarters was foiled by Shalimar Fox, and Clark succumbed to the drug's toxic effects shortly thereafter. After Adam Kane was able to stabilize Angel Dorn's DNA, Angel and Beau buried Clark with fond, honorable farewells.


Sam Raymond. Mutant Type: Psionic (Telempath). First Appearance: "Once Around."
Quote: Do me a favor. Give it another once over while I’m on the phone.
Details: Psionic Sam "The Reader" Raymond was a murderer with the ability to tune into the senses of people he had touched. He had managed to evade trial for 10 years before witness Vic Collaruso reluctantly agreed to testify against him. Sam established a connection with Vic’s lawyer, Ronald Silverman, during a handshake. Sam then used Ronald’s eyes and ears to spy on and stay one step ahead of Mutant X’s efforts to protect Vic from his thugs. As Martin, one of Sam’s flunkies, searched Vic’s home, Sam saw a picture of Vic’s girlfriend Claudia through his eyes and ordered Martin to kidnap her for leverage. Emma deLauro had warned Adam Kane about Sam’s psionic potential, so Mutant X fooled Sam by altering Jesse Kilmartin’s face and voice to resemble Vic’s. Jesse phased Claudia out of her captors’ room, saving her in time for Vic to testify against Sam.


Nick Renfield. Mutant Type: Molecular (Stasis-suspension). First Appearance: "Kilohertz."
Quote: Kilohertz: I thought you'd be glad to see me. Nick: Glad to see you, Barry? We're thrilled.
Details: Nick Renfield was a promising young GSA trainee whose touch could freeze people in time. For his first field assignment, Mason Eckhart asked him to keep the rampage of telecyber Barry “Kilohertz” Sterling from advertising the existence of new mutants to the world. Pretending to be an FCC representative, Nick visited the manager of the WXDV television station where Barry worked, freezing him just long enough to download some of Barry’s broadcasts. Mutant X got to Barry first, however, and Nick began to get caught up in Barry’s “mutant freedom” messages. Noticing Nick’s changing sympathies, Mason ordered that he undergo negative reinforcement by sensory overload to reestablish his GSA loyalties. Nick had previously told Barry that he would be valued at the GSA, but as soon as Barry materialized in Mason’s Genomex office, Nick froze him so that he could be placed into a stasis pod.


Nathan Reynolds. Mutant Type: Molecular (Intangible). First Appearance: "The Prophecy."
Quotes: I'm not on drugs. I'm not crazy, and I'm sure as hell not wrong.
Details: Molecular Nathan Reynolds was one of the four new mutant ‘parents’ to donate DNA to the creation of The Child, Gabriel Ashlocke’s successor. Precog John Bishop had foretold that several signs would occur before The Child’s ascension to power, including ‘two bloods dashed,’ meaning two of The Child’s ‘parents’ would die. Knowing that the omens had begun to take place, Nathan called Sanctuary’s private line to warn Brennan Mulwray, the fourth ‘parent.’ Brennan and Shalimar Fox set out to find Nathan, but were too late to save him from a slimy death at the hands of the insect feral The Guardian.


Kelly Rice. Mutant Type: Elemental (Thermal). First Appearance: "A Breed Apart."
Quote: Morgan: Kelly! C'mon, I thought we were friends! Kelly: Go to hell. And here's a preview.
Details: Kelly Rice was one of Gabriel Ashlocke’s followers who attempted to flee The Links after losing hope that he would ever be freed from his stasis pod. Despite Shalimar Fox and Brennan Mulwray’s best efforts, GS agent Morgan Fortier captured Kelly, reuniting the rogue Links in anticipation of Gabriel’s return. Once Morgan released him, Gabriel used his psionic abilities to brainwash Kelly into helping him find and recruit more Links. Kelly’s wall of fire prevented Shalimar and Brennan from reaching her while she and Gabriel stole Sanctuary’s new mutant database from one of the safehouses.


Alice Robins. Mutant Type: Elemental (Thermal). First Appearance: "The Meaning of Death."
Quote: Adam: Alice, what can we do? Alice: Too late. Just go.
Details: Alice was living in the mutant underground when she was infected by the deadly Cladosporium. Adam Kane arrived at her apartment too late to save her, and her rampaging thermal abilities caused her to explode in flames. GS agent Charles Marlowe, protected by his powers of regeneration, remained with her to the end, curious about the nature of death.


Dr. Olivia Robinson. Mutant Type: Psionic (Telempath). First Appearance: "In Between."
Quote: Sometimes in cases of severe trauma, the healing of the mind is as important as the healing of the body.
Details: When Jesse Kilmartin was shot with an explosive bullet by Dr. Ken Harrison, The Dominion sent Dr. Robinson to perform the operation to remove it. Unable to reach the bullet because of its special characteristics, Dr. Robinson helped Jesse to control his body’s massing by telepathically linking his mind to Brennan Mulwray’s. With Brennan calming Jesse, Dr. Robinson removed the bullet before Dr. Harrison could detonate it.


Mike Robson. Mutant Type: Feral (Canine). First Appearance: "Cirque des Merveilles."
Quote: "Have you ever come face to face with pure evil?"
Details: Newlyweds Mike and Donna joined Deklin Charvet’s Cirque des Merveilles circus, believing it was a safe place for new mutants. When Deklin wouldn’t stop romancing Donna, however, Mike packed their bags and Donna tried to reason with Deklin in the house of mirrors, The Chamber of Souls. Mike watched in horror as Donna was sucked into a mirror. He attacked Deklin, scarring his face for life. Grieving his wife, Mike returned to his hometown to hide in dog parks, protected by his own black dog. With their teammates inside the circus, Lexa Pierce and Jesse Kilmartin tracked Mike to reaffirm their suspicions that the circus was not the safe haven it appeared to be.


Candace Rockwell. Mutant Type: Elemental (Electrical). First Appearance: "Brother's Keeper."
Details: After five years of searching, Lexa Pierce found her twin brother Leo rooming with his girlfriend Candace. Unfortunately, ex-Genomex security chief Charles Carter, who was selling new mutant organs for transplantation, had hired his goon William Bain to obtain Leo's heart. Finding Leo away from the apartment, Bain attacked Candace instead and extracted her liver. Lexa and Leo each heard Candace's screams separately, but both dashed in too late to save her life.


Nikki Rogers. Mutant Type: Feral (Feline). First Appearance: "Understudy."
Quote: Nikki: You do this every day, Emma. I’ve spent my whole life just trying to pretend I don’t have these powers. Trying to fit in with the rest of the world, like I’m not some kind of a freak. Emma: We all feel like that from time to time. Nikki: Yeah, but you guys have each other. I never had anyone. And you know what, today was actually the first time in my entire life that I felt like I was a part of something. That I was someplace that I belonged. And for those few minutes, I actually felt good about myself.
Details: Nikki was one of the first new mutants Adam Kane considered for Mutant X along with Shalimar Fox. The two teen ferals became good friends while at Sanctuary, but ultimately Adam chose Shalimar and sent Nikki to a foster family. Nikki’s new mutancy made her a target for her abusive foster parents until she murdered them. Years later, Nikki suddenly appeared while Mutant X was chasing bikers who had stolen a particle decelerator. In the confusion, Nikki covertly shot Shalimar and then helped to defend the team, falsely earning their trust. Back at Sanctuary, Nikki conned her way into the Mutant X members hearts as Shalimar’s suspicion and jealousy of her former friend grew. Nikki killed the biker who had witnessed her shoot Shalimar and tricked Mutant X into searching elsewhere while she obtained the particle decelerator herself. She then returned to Sanctuary to complete her revenge on Shalimar, but Shalimar was able to turn the deadly beam back on Nikki, killing her instead.


Rucker. Mutant Type: Psionic (Telekinetic Punch). First Appearance: "Lest He Become."
Quote: Rucker: Nowhere to run? Emma: Guess not.
Details: Mason Eckhart used Adam's incomplete experimental procedure to create Mal, Rucker, and Silva with selected mutations. In order to find the DNA Mason required to perfect the process, Silva and Rucker intimidated Dr. Richard Haines into giving them his medical records. The trio were collecting a sample from flower shop owner Elizabeth Burton when Mutant X stepped in. Though Silva and Mal were powerful enough to overcome Mutant X's intervention, one psionic blast from Emma killed Rucker instantly because of his genetic imperfections.


Tyler Ryan. Mutant Type: Psionic (Precog). First Appearance: "At Destiny's End."
Quote: Everything’s already decided; we’re just waiting for it to happen.
Details: Tyler was helping a band of ecoterrorists plant a bomb at Wycoff Chemical Plant when he had a vision of Emma deLauro. Mutant X arrived moments later to stop the bomb's detonation, but Emma and Tyler's instant connection distracted Emma into letting the band get away. After Adam Kane questioned her judgement, Emma took off on her own to convince the environmentalists' leader, Skye, to bring her to Tyler on his jet ski. When she fell off, Tyler saved her from drowning and their bond deepened. Seeing that Emma might die during his next mission, Tyler warned Emma to stay away and tried in vain to leave Skye's group. Emma learned of Skye's plan to blow up OMDI Corp Plant, releasing a dangerous enzyme into the ocean which could destroy all the oil contamination at once. Mutant X failed to keep Skye from puncturing the gas tank with a bullet, but Tyler pushed Emma out of the containment vault before sealing himself inside with Skye. The deadly enzyme disintegrated both men as Emma watched, helpless to intervene.


Dr. Richard Saunders. Mutant Type: Feral (Feline). First Appearance: "Fool for Love."
Quote: Don't you ever get tired of being special? Don't you ever long for a normal life?
Details: A research associate at Genomex, Richard created a serum which had the potential to eradicate the genetic abnormalities in new mutants' DNA after six biweekly treatments. Richard tried the serum on himself and had begun treating another feline feral, Donna Morse, when she suddenly disappeared. While searching her apartment, he ran into Shalimar Fox, who was trying to find out why Donna had refused the new mutant underground. The strong feral attraction they shared as they fought quickly blossomed into love. Shalimar decided to leave Mutant X and take the serum with Richard so that they could stay together after he became human. Yet just after Shalimar's first dose, Richard began experiencing cramps. Shalimar brought him to Sanctuary, where the two learned that a flaw in the drug had proved fatal for Donna. Rather than allow both of them to die, Richard asked Adam to save Shalimar with an extract of his own blood, hastening his own death.


Silva. Mutant Type: Molecular (Pain). First Appearance: "Lest He Become."
Quote: Brennan: Let me guess. We can do this fast, or we can do this slow. Silva: No. I only do slow.
Details: Silva had the ability to transmit concentrated waves of pain. Silva, Mal and Rucker were collecting blood samples to futher Mason Eckhart’s Naxcon genetic research on selective mutation. Silva was able to drive Mutant X away twice, but Shalimar Fox finally convinced her father that he was working for the wrong side. After Mason’s protective skin was breached during the explosion at Naxcon, Silva helped him obtain the results of Adam Kane’s past studies about a cure for his illness. Once Mason’s condition had been stabilized, Silva brought in and tortured Brennan Mulwray to discover Sanctuary’s location. His methods failed, leaving his psionic co-worker Marika to pry the information in Brennan’s mind. Mason had just ordered Siva to kill Brennan when Mutant X arrived to save him. As payback for what he had done to Brennan, Shalimar disemboweled Silva with her hands.


Barry Sterling, "Kilohertz". Mutant Type: Elemental (Cybernetic). First Appearance: "Kilohertz."
Quote: Haven't you heard? Resistance is futile.
Details: A telecyber whose DNA was in a constant state of flux between matter and energy, Barry Sterling was working as a WXDV production assistant when he grew power hungry. Transforming himself into energy waves, Barry transmitted himself by satellite to homes across the city, inciting new mutants to take control and demonstrating his power by affecting the stock market, knocking out the city's power grid in the process. Mason Eckhart, preferring to keep new mutants' existence a secret, sent GSA trainee Nick Renfield to capture him. Mutant X caught Barry first, but Adam failed to convince Barry to cease his harmful actions. Barry managed to escape Mutant X's containment twice, and after nearly suffocating them by withdrawing Sanctuary's air, Barry sent himself to Genomex. When he materialized in Mason's office, Nick froze him in time and Mason podded him. From Adam's diary on Mutant X Lives: BARRY STERLING - It was not Genomex that stopped Sterling. It was fame. The brief national attention his acts as Kilohertz brought fed deep insecurities and pumped his ego out of control. A false sense of power and little control over his rare elemental abilities marked Barry as a falling star that we could only watch from a distance.


Wendy Stone. Mutant Type: Molecular (Gravitative). First Appearance: "Crime of the New Century."
Quote: You vultures make me sick. Souvenir hunting in the midst of someone else's tragedy? Beat it.
Details: GS agent Wendy Stone could increase molecular density by touch. After Joshua Valentine, the son of famous astronaut Corbin Valentine, was kidnapped, Mason Eckhart persuaded the FBI to let Wendy take the case and instructed her to bring the boy to Genomex for study. Wendy did not get to Josh before Mutant X, so she tortured his kidnapper into confessing that Josh's mother Lisa had had him kidnapped to protect him from Corbin. Once Josh was returned to his parents, Corbin brought him to Genomex, thinking Josh would be 'cured' of his new mutancy. Wendy tried to keep Mutant X from taking Josh away a second time by holding Corbin at gunpoint, but Josh used his thermal abilities to make her gun too hot to hold, allowing them to escape.


Diane Taylor. Mutant Type: Molecular (Dimensional Transfer). First Appearance: "Cirque des Merveilles."
Quote: I never cared about them. I only care about you!
Details: Molecular Diane Taylor could to send matter into alternate dimensions. Predicting that new mutants would ultimately overrun the world if he were not around to control them, Mason Eckhart brainwashed sleeper agents like Deklin Charvet to destroy all new mutants in the event of his death. After Brennan Mulwray killed Mason, Deklin created a circus, Cirque des Merveilles. He hired Diane to create a house of mirrors, The Chamber of Souls, where she used her abilities to trap any new mutants who joined the circus inside the mirrors. After she sent Brennan and Shalimar Fox into the mirror dimension, Jesse Kilmartin convinced her that Deklin was only using her to fulfill his mission of genocide and that he would kill her too once it was completed. Realizing that Deklin did not share her love, Diane released the mutants before sending Deklin and herself into the alternate world to be together forever.


Lorna Templeton. Mutant Type: Feral (Arachnid). First Appearance: "Deadly Desire."
Quote: Nothing like cold, hard cash. Well...almost nothing.
Details: To bolster her compromised immune system, Genomex scientists spliced Lorna’s DNA with that of a scorpion before she was born. As a result, Lorna could sprout deadly stingers from her wrists and release a pink pheromone gas from neck pores which caused men to become obsessed with her. Shalimar Fox and Jesse Kilmartin intervened as GS agents were pursuing Lorna, who stung one agent to death and gassed a second, Carl Ames. Under Lorna’s spell, Carl informed her of Mason Eckhart’s plan to buy a computer virus anomite from scientist Dr. Tork. Carl shot Shalimar as Mutant X attempted to keep the anomite from Lorna, but Brennan Mulwray recognized his former associate Tony Reese among Lorna’s team and tracked him to her apartment. Lorna seduced Brennan and conspired with him to sell the anomite to Mason. When Tony became jealous, Lorna murdered him. After an enchanted Brennan chose to protect Lorna over his former teammates, Adam Kane sent Shalimar to surreptitiously innoculate him with an anti-venom he had created from Carl’s blood. Seeing that her charms had become ineffective, Lorna stung Brennan, only to be knocked unconscious by Shalimar. GS agent Halloran captured Lorna, but she gassed him before he could place a subdermal governor on her. The two eloped with the money in Genomex’s safe. From Adam's diary on Mutant X Lives: LORNA TEMPLETON - Is it possible the Insect feral has finally manifested? Dr. Breedlove swore it was an impossible hybrid but nature seems to have proved him wrong. It obvious the females are the dominant deadly ones. They mate, they kill. I must study Brennan’s tainted DNA samples and come up with some combatants to Ms. Templeton’s venom before she crosses our path again. It also brings new light to how to handle Charlotte Cooke in the future. Why are beautiful women so deadly?

From Genomex.net: WARNING: To All MALE Genomex Staff. There is a female New Mutant currently being pursued by the GSA who has exhibited a toxic mental hold over all men she comes in contact with. Reportedly, they lose all self-control and become, in a sense, her thralls. The subject, Lorna Templeton (security file being collected), has already taken down two topflight GSAgents (Ames and Halloran) set on her trail along with a host of Genomex associates who have succumbed to her unnatural powers of persuasion. While Mr. Eckhart has kept Templeton's capture a CODE RED priority, he warns that any further male employees who surrender to her feminine temptation, on or off the job, will suffer repercussions of the severest level. At the same time, he is drafting all qualified female GSAgents to resume the assignment. Dr. Harrison has classified Templeton as a Feral, type Insecta. Specifically, she is a scorpion hybrid capable of spraying mind-dominating venom from a stinger that emerges from beneath her skin. Besides this feature, she could also be described as dangerously attractive. As the existence of Insect Ferals has only recently come to light, all company labs have been put on 24-hour shifts to focus on the subject matter until further notice.
All male staff members should be on the guard until Templeton has been apprehended and subdued. Not only are displays of common desire a direct hazard on this project, but also against Genomex policy in any situation. "There is no room for personal needs when the future is in one's hands." (Dr. Breedlove, May 1980).


Terra. Mutant Type: Feral (Lupine). First Appearance: "The Hand of God."
Quote: Cody: No one could have survived the blast from that canon. Terra: I could've.
Details: Terra was the bounty hunter trying to capture the life-giving new mutant Kristoff before The Dominion. She and her partner shot down the Double Helix with a microwave weapon and paid one of Kristoff's followers, Carl, to betray the location of Kristoff's hideout. Tracking the scent of Shalimar Fox's blood to the camp, Terra reneged on her deal with Carl, shooting him rather than paying him as promised. She fatally wounded Brennan Mulwray as he and Lexa Pierce attempted to prevent her from kidnapping Kristoff. As Kristoff healed Brennan, Shalimar defeated her in hand-to-hand combat, but Terra awoke and was about to shoot Shalimar in the back when Lexa killed her with a laser.


Amanda Terry. Mutant Type: Feral (Feline). First Appearance: "Sign from Above."
Quote: Jesse: We’re not freaks, Amanda. Amanda: Yeah, but we’re not entirely normal yet either, are we?
Details: Amanda Terry, who worked by day at a music store, was the attractive feral whom Jesse Kilmartin was dating. Once Jesse had walked her home from after a night of dancing, Amanda was attacked by insect-like aliens who harvested her spinal fluid and dumped her body in the river.


Frank Thorne. Mutant Type: Psionic (Telekinetic). First Appearance: "Shock of the New."
Quote: Gosh. You're such a hot-shot telepath, you should've seen that coming.
Details: Frank Thorne was Mason Eckhart's right hand man at the time that the head of Genomex, Dr. Paul Breedlove, decided to give a public apology about his involvement in new mutant research. To preserve Genomex's veil of secrecy, Mason allowed Frank to murder Dr. Breedlove so that he could take control of the organization and officially create the Genetic Security Agency. Frank captured Brennan Mulwray and Ruby Bishop, frightening Ruby into revealing the location of the mutant safehouse behind his bookstore. Frank brought all the mutants in the safehouse to Genomex, but Adam Kane and Shalimar Fox rescued them and deactivated their subdermal governors. Once again fully charged, Brennan Mulwray chased Frank out of Genomex, never to be seen again. From Genomex.net: SECURITY ALERT: Thorne, Frank All Genomex systems are being set to track and apprehend former GSAgent FRANK THORNE. A telekinetic with an impaired psychological disposition, Thorne has been AWOL since the events of 10/13. He is believed to have a vindictive agenda towards all members of the agency and will strike at any level. Although plugged with a subdermal governor, it is appears to be deactivated or malfunctioning. Mr. Eckhart has advised Thorne be eliminated on sight. Capturing Thorne alive is NOT a necessity. This directive extends to all attached internal and relevent governmental departments and authorizes agents to act as GSA deputies in this exclusive circumstance. Data, visual composites, psych-profiles and psionic mutant analysis on Thorne to be forwarded to all departments and posted here, as it becomes available. WARNING: SUBJECT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (Priority X)


Allison Turner. Mutant Type: Psionic (Telekinetic). First Appearance: "Shock of the New."
Quote: Allison: So what's your power? Emma: I don't have any power. Allison: Ah. The power of denial.
Details: Allison was the safehouse operator who tried to escort Emma into the new mutant Underground...until Emma gave her the slip. After being captured by The GSA, Allison was rescued by Mutant X. From Mutant X Lives: One of Adam’s original recruits for Mutant X, this elegant telekinetic chose instead to become a major “conductor” of the Underground Railroad. Many owe their lives to Alison’s bravery. She has proven time and time again to not only move objects with her mind, but large groups of hunted New Mutants to new lives with her common sense. When asked why she turned down Adam’s offer to join the main team, Alison answers, “I wanted a family. You can’t do that as a superhero. To me, the fight has always been about being normal. That’s where I put my energy.”


Joshua and Lisa Valentine. Mutant Types: Elemental (Thermal tranfer) and Psionic (Telepath). First Appearance: "Crime of the New Century."
Quotes: Lisa: I’m not strong. I’ve spent my whole life denying I have any power. I’m not like you, Emma.
Mason: What do you think of my world? Josh: I think it sucks.
Details: Josh was the son of the famous astronaut Corbin Valentine and his telepath wife Lisa. Fearing that Corbin's discomfort with mutants might lead him to harm Josh, Lisa hired a kidnapper Burke to keep him from his father. Unaware of this, Emma deLauro used Josh's psychic connection to Lisa to locate the boy, returning him to his parents before GS agent Wendy Stone could catch him. Corbin, hoping that his son could be 'cured,' drugged Lisa and took Josh to Genomex, where he was placed in special observation clinic 6. Emma and Lisa once again combined their psionic abilities to track him. When Jesse Kilmartin and Brennan Mulwray arrived to rescue Josh, Wendy held Corbin hostage, but Josh made the gun too hot to hold by channeling his abilities as he had watched Brennan do. Josh was reunited with his family, looking forward to reconciliation. From The Midnight Press: ASTRONAUT'S SON KIDNAPPED AND RETURNED; MUTANT COVER-UP CITED New mutant or normal boy? Questions still surround his kidnapping and his astronaut father's involvement in a cover-up. Washington DC -- Few personalities have received the positive accolades of Major Corbin Valentine, hero of the space shuttle Evolution crisis that occurred almost a decade ago. However, the averted tragedy that nearly befell the all American idol last month seems to have cast a shadow on his previously glowing reputation. Major Valentine and his wife, Lisa, experienced a parent's worst nightmare when their ten-year-old son, Joshua, was kidnapped from their well appointed home in the middle of the night. FBI agents responded quickly and the boy was returned unharmed without a ransom being paid. The body of his alleged kidnapper, identified as career-criminal Edward Burke, was later found crushed to death in a collapsed building. Authorities describe the inopportune death as "an unrelated coincidence" that occurred before Burke could be apprehended and interrogated. What remains in question is the exact reason young Joshua was abducted. Major Valentine is said to have been a contender for the upcoming senate race but had as of yet to throw his hat into the ring. Without political pull and the obvious financial motives passed over, one can only look at the actual child himself and ask: what was unique enough to take him away from his family? "Josh is a show-off," discloses an anonymous classmate at the exclusive Seton Academy where the Valentines send their son to school. "He's always playing pranks, giving kids hot-foots and stuff like that." To this, the Midnight Press feels obliged to solicit was the boy giving hotfoots or creating them? Is Joshua Valentine a mutant? If so, did that make him a target for gene-splicing kidnappers? Sources report that Major Valentine has taken his son to a series of doctors, psychiatrists and the occasional spiritual healer over the last year and a half although nothing appears to be physically wrong with the boy. At least, nothing natural. Abbie Blossom, former cleaning lady to the Valentines, has described to the Midnight Press exclusively a harrowing incident where Joshua started a fire in his bedroom. "He was having an argument with his mother when, all of a sudden, his bedspread went up in flames!" After witnessing the incident, Mrs. Blossom was let go as an employee with three months severance pay. The FBI has made no comment on the matter since Joshua Valentine was reunited. Curiously enough, the lead investigator used on the case, Wendy Stone, was a regular bureau agent but an "attaché specializing in unique circumstances". Speculating what these circumstances could be also points to a genetic scandal. Although none of the mutant suspicions have been substantiated, the following events have transpired since the fateful abduction: Major Valentine has announced he will not seek political office any time soon; the Valentines have separated and sought counseling; Joshua has been removed from Seton and said to be attending a "special school" while he deals with his trauma. A golden family tarnished by the legacy of tainted DNA.


Valerie. Mutant Type: Feral (Feline). First Appearance: "Past as Prologue."
Details: A faithful follower of Gabriel Ashlocke, Valerie attacked Emma deLauro and Jesse Kilmartin when they broke into Gabriel's home to obtain a sample of his blood. Emma repulsed her with a psionic blast, but Mutant X encountered Valerie again as she and two other mutants attempted to steal an ancient Ouija board from Manhattan's Gallery of Games. Psionically sensing that she had failed in her mission, Gabriel punished her with bodily convulsions. Mutant X brought her to Sanctuary, but the dying Gabriel's powerful mind connection to Valerie caused her death before Adam could save her.


Henry Voight. Mutant Type: Psionic (Telempath). First Appearance: "Nothing to Fear."
Quote: Are you ready for your nightmare?
Details: Henry could infect a person's dreams through touch. His intense vendetta against Mutant X was born when his GS agent wife Brianna vanished after an encounter with them. Mason Eckhart harnassed his anger, hoping to obtain Sanctuary's access codes by encouraging Henry to draw the Mutant X members one by one into terrifying dreamscapes where each faced his or her worst fear. Adam's frantic research revealed that Brianna was in fact alive and podded in Genomex's Section 9. Once Henry confirmed that fact by pulling Mason into his own nightmare, he released Mutant X. From Adam's diary on Mutant X Lives: HENRY VOIGHT - An advanced Empath, Voight can tear through dreams like a dagger through flesh. He nearly brought down both Mutant X and Genomex. Now he roams free claiming to be pacified. Any wonder I have trouble sleeping at nights?

Dr. Laura Varaday's report from Genomex.net: Post-Trauma Report: Eckhart, Mason re: attack by subject, Voight. TO: Bureau Chief C. Marston CC: D. Wall, E. Brody FROM: Dr. Laura Varady, Genomex Psychologist. After studying a week's worth of data and examining Mr. Eckhart on three different occasions over the last few days, I can safely report that the psionic invasion of his psyche did no permanent damage. He is in complete control of his faculties and should have no problem resuming his full roster of responsibilities at Genomex. This diagnosis comes as a huge relief considering the potential destruction New Mutant Henry Voight (Genomex security file #EOG7713PVH) could have inflicted on anyone's mental health with the ability to takeover a victim's subconscious and trigger their inner most fears. Mr. Eckhart was subjected to an ongoing onslaught of psychic assault from which he was not able to awaken. Psionic Empath Voight played out Mason's recurring nightmare of having his vulnerable immunity system exposed to devastating filth and squalor over and over in his head. A lesser man would have been emotionally crippled and risked, at the very least, heart failure. I am pleased to state, however, that Mr. Eckhart seems to have bypassed all of this. Aside from his out-of-character edict not to have the GSA pursue Mr. Voight, leaving capture status at CODE YELLOW, there is nothing usual or effected in his thought processes. While on the subject, should New Mutant Voight ever return to Genomex, I would certainly like a crack at examining him. His psionic prowess is extremely rare and could be immensely valuable, if conditioned to be used with discrete purpose. Henry Voight can dictate an average man's dreams, which are a dangerously underrated state of behavioral. consciousness. He is every psychiatrist's aspiration. Concluding, let me reaffirm Mr. Eckhart's complete recovery over would-be emotional wreckage. This solid inner core should, once again, prove he is the right man to head Genomex. Not many could survive nightmare rats crawling through their skulls. Mason has and appears to be stronger for it. As usual he has refused any stress medication, but I believe has asked Dr. Harrison to reline the layers of his daily exo-skin. If that is the extent of his post-neurosis, we are all in safe, gloved hands.


Skeet Vosberg. Mutant Type: Elemental (Botanical). First Appearance: "Altered Ego."
Quote: Defoliation. It's no big deal in the city, of course, but...
Details: A new mutant who could defoliate plants, Skeet was the high school acquaintance of Charlotte Cooke whom she bullied with her morality-altering abilities. Mutant X saved Charlotte when the GSA burst into the apartment the two shared, but Skeet was taken for questioning. Threatened with suffocation by GS agent Lynch, Skeet obediantly delivered Charlotte's whereabouts. His cooperation was not rewarded with freedom, though he did gloat when Charlotte realized the truth about the GSA.


Michael Ward. Mutant Type: Feral (Ursine). First Appearance: "Whose Woods These Are."
Details: Michael contracted a virus while a subject in Project 318, a Genomex experiment funded by the space program to produce enhanced feral astronauts who could survive alien environments.

Quote: I know who you are, and I know what you've taken from me. And I know what you want.
Details: Kara was one of four new mutants who contributed DNA to create Gabriel Ashlocke's successor, The Child. Despite Brennan Mulwray and Riley Morgan's attempted intervention, the insect feral who protected The Child murdered Kara when The Child reached a certain age, as forseen by the precog John Bishop.


Todd and Jerri Wiley. Mutant Types: Molecular (Propulsive) and Molecular (X-ray vision). First Appearance: "The Meaning of Death."
Details: Todd and Jerri Wiley were unhappily married when Brennan and safehouse operator Rick Bellamy ushered them into the new mutant underground. As they waited in a safehouse, Rick developed the first signs of the deadly Cladosporium illness, so Adam advised that Brennan remain in quarantine with the couple. During the course of their internment, Brennan discovered that each had unwittingly been carrying on an extramarital affair with a GS agent. By the time a cure had been found for the disease outbreak, the couple had reconciled their differences and went into the underground ready to give their marriage another try. From The Midnight Press: COUPLE MISSING AS HEALTH OFFICALS DENY OUTBREAK OF FATAL MUTANT VIRUS Victims of a deadly virus or new mutants on the run? The Surgeon General has denied any such virus exists. Washington, DC -- The Surgeon General and spokespeople from the National Institute of Health held a brief press conference last week to officially put an end to a circuit of rumors that alleged a deadly strain of virus, lethal only to genetically engineered human beings, was ravishing the country. "We have enough medical issues to focus on without creating hype that perpetuates this mutant nonsense," S.G. Hudson charged. "Spreading word of any type of virus is dangerous enough. It could create a nationwide panic. To let this happen over pure comic book fancy is appalling to me." "It borders on irresponsibility even to acknowledge these fairy tales," added NIH head, Dr. Gerald Drake. "But things have gotten too out of hand for us not to make a statement." Despite the official denouncement, many still believe that the disease felled their mutant friends and neighbors. Sandra Green-Ives of Providence, RI informed the Midnight Press of one such case. "The Wileys down the street from us just disappeared when this virus talk started. No one has seen them in weeks." Todd and Jeridanne "Jerri" Wiley, a young, middle class couple who leased a condominium on the Ives' suburban cul-de-sac have not been in contact with any of the associates or co-workers they use to see on a daily basis. A trace on them, initiated by the Midnight Press, has come up blank. Although Wiley, a cars salesman, and his wife, a paralegal, have not been officially reported missing, few in their community doubt that they were mutants. "He was just too fast, always running, and she seemed to be constantly ogling my husband as if his Brooks Brothers suit was see-thru," describes Mrs. Green-Ives. "I've no doubt they were weirdoes and am glad they're gone…but I hope they didn't die a horrible death," she quickly adds. Local authorities have stated that the Wileys are off on an extended second honeymoon and have not been the victims of any plague "mutant or otherwise". The neighbors feel differently. "They were headed for a divorce, if anything," Mrs. Green-Ives insists, "I'm certain the mutie pox did them in and their bodies were hauled off to a quarantine in the night." The mystery of the Wileys is among dozens where suspicious types have vanished from every day life. "A mutant plague is not an unreasonable conclusion," declares specialist Dr. Garrett Segall, "The government would elect to keep it under wraps as they do the fact of mutant kind in our general population." Dr. Segall also notes that such an illness would have no effect on normal DNA. "We're safe," he assures. But if mutants walk among us, are we really? *Our editors ask your help in verifying the existence of mutants and any illness they might suffer from or spread.
