X-Calibre

Name: Christopher Planes
Gender: Male
Birthday: November 13, 1975
Height: 6’ 0”
Weight: 163 lbs.
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black

Mutant Abilities:
· Energy Projection/Absorption: Christopher's body acts as a living capacitor for all energy inflicted upon it. Once it is absorbed he can rechannel it into any type of blast, usually projected from his eyes or his hands. Powers also convert the energy into nutrients for his body, leaving him effectively
· Cloak: Ability to effectively remove him from sight as well as any immediate objects he is in contact with.
· Telepathy: The ability to enter another's mind. Primarily used for communication Chris has demonstrated the ability of advanced astral projection as well as mental influence.
· Telekinesis: A new ability that seems to be developing through his telepathy the growth has been minimal but definitely there.

Physical Description: Chris is a wiry individual, lithe and tone yet solid and strong. His form is a byproduct of his energy absorption which automatically transforms the energy into nutrients that are automatically dispersed through his body. Artificial hormones and enzymes created by the Weapon-X facility keep his form and he keeps his strength up through constant vigorous exercise. When his power activates his eyes glow a faint red. Christopher's bodysuit is an offshoot of a military smartskin design that was created by Weapon-X scientists as a means of successfully monitoring their agents in the field. It has an organic look about it and the material is malleable allowing for it to change its shape slightly as well as remain nigh impenetrable except for the sharpest swords or the Teflon-coated bullet.

Place of Birth: Madrid, Spain
Family: Father: Michael Planes (deceased), Brother: Alan Planes (deceased)

History:
Weapon-X was a project born from the idea that the newest, rising trend in the mutant anomaly could be used as the next generation weapon's of the future. The Weapon-X project was born and in turn produced some of the finest soldier's in the world - the agent that took Weapon-X as his name being their most notable - that were used for all sorts of clandestine operations ranging from assassination to espionage to all-out assaults on Weapon-X sanctioned targets. Things were looking good for the project when the Apocalypse came. The attack was swift and brutal and the first to go were the Weapon-X agents themselves.

The project went underground as the scientists either died or disappeared, fleeing over the ocean and remaining generally unscathed. Word of the end of the Apocalypse War came to their attention and slowly the original founders gathered together again. With them came all of their original knowledge as well as all the information they would need to restart the program. All that was missing was a location. It was at the suggestion of one of the oldest members that they move to the now long-forgotten lab that was located off the coast of Spain deep under the water of the Mediterranean. The operation was successfully moved and once again brought up to speed.

They turned to artificial DNA creation, working with creating the perfect weapon. Unfortunately some of the best minds in the field had either died or had yet to be found during the years of the War. They worked with imperfect knowledge and finally succeeded in creating a living fetus. Growth hormones were manually introduced and his - the DNA was tweaked to make it develop into a male - age progressed rapidly. Information was manually introduced through virtual learning programs. The scientists decided to skip all of the unnecessary information such as social skills. Things such as espionage, weapon's, fighting styles, and political intrigue - all of these things took top-notch in his 'education' and he learned them well.

Unfortunately the scientists weren't the geniuses they believed themselves to be. Their gene tampering became so unstable that the powers they gave him started to degrade and threatened to tear him apart. Genes were stunted before the scientists could stabilize him but the damage was already done. As the boy developed they realized that his genes were genetically altered and what should have been a mouth and vocal chords were never developed leaving him without a source of nutrients nor a means of communication.

But in denying the boy - now a young man - these things his body seemed to rebel even without him knowing it. His energy absorption powers compensated to continually draw power from his surroundings and convert it into the nutrients his body needed. His mind developed the ability to speak directly from mind-to-mind - telepathy - and it was with these new gifts that the man found himself suddenly outside his tube that had been his home for so many long years. He was free and he had discovered that it wasn't only his genetic growth that had been stunted by his abilities had been altered to such a level that the new powers they had tried to introduce were corrupted.

Powers of cloaking his body from immediate sight worked well. Too well. Genetic tinkering had left him literally nonexistent in the eyes of those around him, living only as a disembodied voice that came from everywhere. It had been a simple enough endeavor to escape from the lab and into the depths of the deep ocean. There were no lungs for him to worry about; no air for him to breathe and his body was easily kept strong from the kinetic energy that traveled through the waves. He broke the surface and made his way inland to the ruined shores of Europe where he went underground. It was easy enough for him to slip out of thought and mind and the Weapon-X Project once again realized they had failed in containing one of their weapons.

Wraith chose a name for himself arbitrarily with no actual thought in mind except the one of not wanting to be known as just Wraith. Not that there would be anyone else around to care about what his name was. Years passed and he was left unfettered and unbothered, finding himself helping where he could but mostly just passing through life as a man who didn't exist. It was four years after his escape from Weapon-X that he found himself in the care of other mutants, mutants who could see in spectrums other than visible light. He found himself on a ship, a ship bound for Muir Island where it was rumored a city was being built -- little more than a town at the moment -- and that on this island were both humans and mutants.

It was on Muir Island that he would learn of the forming of a group of mutants. Mutants that wanted to oppose the wrongs of the world. Wraith too wanted to do just that, to rebel against the nature that he had been created for. To give back to the life he had been so aptly granted. He was readily accepted and soon began his life with them.

Things went well and he found himself to be a quick study, the training that was required of such a group had already been implanted into his mind, perfect for any weapon. It would be on a mission to oppose a rising mutant terrorist group that he would learn that Weapon-X had continued on in their experiments and that he had a brother -- a clone, actually -- that had been improved upon. He saved his brother, who was called Pyre, and made him a part of X-Calibre.

It was with his tenure in the first year that the doctor Cecelia Reyes would find a cure for his permanent cloaking and allow him to once again interact with the world again.

But the years would not be kind to Christopher. When the mutant known as Vein invoked the Cyttorak Crystal and rewrote history everything was changed. It was revealed that Vein had attempted to do this several times before and each time had failed. His son, which had been borne during one of the tempestuous ages, new the truth and needed an avatar to destroy his father. Derek Crownguard found such a host in the form of Wraith's brother and the resulting battle destroyed them both but in the process righted the wrongs and restored the original reality.

Shaken by the death of his brother, Christopher became more withdrawn and turned to inner strength and spirituality as his strengths. He participated in the battles that X-Calibre seemed to find themselves in, both against the resurgence of the mutant killing machines known as Sentinels and again as X-Calibre found themselves deep underwater, entrenched in a battle with a giant Ice Worm that seemed to be a gateway to every universe.

A year after X-Calibre's return from Atlantis they would be challenged again by forces of extreme magnitude. Christopher would come to the realization that he had been perverted with the soul of D’Ken - a long since dead Shi'ar Emperor - and his body would become a slave to the alien's will. He would find himself committing atrocities that ranged from the destruction of an entire world to the annihilation of an entire star system. With the help from the Phoenix Force, Christopher would regain control of his body but the atrocities he had committed under another’s name would weigh upon his shoulders as the single most destructive thing the galaxy had witnessed in a millennium.

He returned to Earth with X-Calibre and lost himself in the day-to-day affairs that plagued his life. Until word was received that the long-since dead madman Apocalypse was once again reborn. X-Calibre would throw themselves to this new threat and prove that once again there was indeed hope.
