A while back, I had watched X-Men: First Class (another good movie, btw) and had become interested in the x-men universe. Prior to my learning of many interesting characters in the x-men universe, I had only known of basic characters e.g. Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, etc. Nonetheless, I was extremely impressed by the vast reservoir of intriguing characters as well as their backgrounds, abilities, personalities, etc. As a result, I decided to create my own mutant (pictured above).
-Code Name: Crypsis.
-Code Name Explanation: According to Wikipedia, "In ecology, crypsis is the ability of an organism to avoid observation or detection by other organisms. It may be either a predation strategy or an antipredator adaptation, and methods range from camouflage, nocturnality, subterranean lifestyle, transparency, or mimicry."
-Real Name: Unknown
-Alignment (Good or Evil): He can be considered neither good nor evil. As a lone wolf assassin, Crypsis has no allegiances or notable affiliation with any particular institutions or sides. Crypsis aligns himself with whichever side promotes his personal agenda, more than willing to betray that side if it begins to antagonize his purposes.
-Mutation: Under the cloak of night, Crypsis is able to completely erase his presence. This ability is not limited to visual blending in with nighttime surroundings. On the contrary, Crypsis can, in essence, become part of the night by erasing any scents he may give off, any potentially exuded pheromones, all sounds he may make, and any other indication of his being present. In fact, Crypsis may not even be detected with night vision, sonar (e.g. by bats), infrared heat detectors, etc. In addition, Crypsis can even temporarily erase his physical existence, though remaining mobile, so that attacks (physical, psionic, etc.)pass through him without causing him any harm. However, this ability quickly drains Crypsis of his energy and leaves him temporarily paralyzed after usage, with a longer paralysis time after longer usage, leaving him vulnerable. There are also rumors that Crypsis may possess other powers e.g. some have claimed that he can emit obsidian black optic blasts comparable to those of Cyclops. Nevertheless, these rumors have never been confirmed because Crypsis primarily uses only his presence-erasing ability, and those who spread these rumors end up disappearing before confirmation...
-Abilities: Crypsis' abilities include extreme resourcefulness, well-honed martial arts mastery, skillful motorcycle maneuvering, superlative knife mastery, extremely precise aim, etc. It is believed, due to his wide array of abilities and knowledge of international governmental secrets, that Crypsis is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent gone rogue. These rumors suggest that Crypsis had volunteered for a secret project within S.H.I.E.L.D. (one that few in S.H.I.E.L.D. even knew about), when he began intensive training. After he received training, as well as access to certain secrets, weaponry, and advanced technology, Crypsis, loyal only to his purposes, not those of S.H.I.E.L.D., arbitrarily betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D. and killed all of those associated with the project. This betrayal came as a huge surprise because there had seemingly been no impetus for Crypsis to have done so.
-Strength Level: Crypsis has the strength (and other physical characteristics e.g. speed, reflexes, etc.) of a normal human being with an innate talent in sports and other physical activities that regularly engages in exercise and training. Because of his non-superhuman physical characteristics, Crypsis had trained himself to be able to use his opponents' superhuman strength, speed, etc.against themselves.
-weapons: Crypsis usually uses his spiked knuckle-gloves, shurikens and kunai knives (in the pouch on his pants), and true/primary adamantium knife. Crypsis can also skillfully use many other weapons, but he often chooses not to.
