ISAAC ALEXANDER BENTHAM
Codename:
Age:Seventeen
Allegiance:Xavier's Institute
Species:Mutant
Power:Ancestral mimicry - He can link with his ancestors mentally for their knowledge and gain some of their abilities (taming, enhanced strength, enhanced senses and enhanced resistance from his Neanderthal ancestors) for a while. When using the powers from the Neanderthals, his appearance flickers between himself and a Neanderthal before becoming firmly Neanderthal until he powers down
History:Isaac grew up as the son of an Archaeology professor in London, learning from birth about all sorts of extinct creatures. At the age of 13 he began hearing strange voices in his head, teaching him things about prehistory in Europe that nobody else could. When he was 15 he was walking home with his friend Darius when they got cornered in an alley by three thugs with knives. The voices began to get louder in his mind and he telepathically linked with them, allowing his physical form to become shorter, more resilient and stronger like his ancestors. He then proceeded to beat the living daylights out of his would be attackers using his newfound brutality. However, before he could defeat them all, one had attempted to run away and stumbled, shoving a knife into Darius's gut. After becoming human again, Isaac took Darius to the hospital, but it was too late; he was already dead. Soon after the attack Storm approached Isaac's father and explained what had happened. Mr. Bentham, after some persuasion, allowed her to take him to Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters, where he could learn to control his powers ad use them for good.[/div]
