My superhero name is Incognito, and my mutant power is, I'm sure you will find, utterly invaluable for any sort of covert work. You see, the instant I am not not in someone's immediate perception, I completely disappear from their memory like I was never there. I could shoot someone in front of a dozen people, duck around a corner, and witnesses would be totally confused about how that guy got shot. This even applies to indirect evidence of my presence. Camera feeds delete themselves, footprints vanish, paper trails cease to be. Where I have been, there is no record of my ever existing.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to turn this power off, so it's made my life kinda inconvenient once it manifested. I can't fill out insurnce claims or pay for stuff with credit cards and, well, it's made maintaining relationships kinda hard, never mind holding down a job. I feel this organization will fit my situation perfectly, and being part of the X-Men, even in a junior capacity, will really turn my life around.

Anyway, I'm glad we had this chat, I've left my contact information with the receptionist, so gimme a call if I made the cut, alright?

Wheel hair? Oh, is that why you’re loving bald, poindexter?

Anyway, I’m Depressed-o the Bore-ceror. In a really dark time for me—like most days really—I tried to overdose on a bunch of pills, but it turned out they were these:


So now I have a bunch of different magical powers, none of which are useful or cool. The teleporting is okay but I can only do it a couple of times before I get really tired. Or more tired than I already am all the time anyway.

I still don’t wanna live anymore. Good thing these pills wrecked my DNA, so hopefully I also have cancer. But if you need gravel, I’m yer boi.

You can't just dose to become an X-man. The lady in HR who can make any flat surface nearby grow hair said they have had a lot of pledges who claimed to have psychic abilities and passed their initial exams turned out to be normal homo sapiens and were kicked out when they found out they weren't mutants at all.

Oh, I’m a mutant, it’s just an acquired mutation. But I guess that isn’t good enough for you, you elitist, not that I’m good enough anyway. Everyone’s all “hey, Depressd-o change-o your clothes, you sad-sack slob, and how about you clean your room for once?”

Ehh, gently caress it. I got another fistful of pills I’m gonna take. I’m going back to bed now, hopefully these are barbiturates this time. I never bother to check.

My power is that I can exactly transfer whatever volume or mass perfectly. Like if you need exactly 5ml of vanilla for that recipe... I can do that. You need need exactly 10 dollars of gas in your car? Take me with you, put the pump in my hand, and even if I close my eyes I'll get you exactly 10 dollars of gas, perfectly.

But my power can be more useful than that. Like if you need me to mix solutions in your labs, I can do exactly what you need me to do without even trying.

You need exactly 42 units of insulin? You could fill up a 10cc syringe with insulin and I'd STILL only inject exactly 42 units without even looking.

Hello, I am The (hot)Flash. If I focus real hard the heat I feel internally will radiate around me in a 6' circle and age everyone one month for every second they stay in the field. If I can't stay young and beautiful forever, NO ONE CAN!

Haha, I was never beautiful, what am I on about.

[Also, currently very much not menopausal, but much like AARP invites, it is lurking and waiting for me, biding its time.]

Sorry, I didn't quite catch that, could you come just inside of 6' away from me and repeat that slowly and clearly, perhaps twice? I'm kind of old so my hearing isn't what it used to be.

As long as Beast can confirm this is a genetic mutation then it qualifies, but he's awfully busy lately.

Otherwise a Sentinel has to detect you as a mutant.

I couldn't say it better myself. Know thyself and adorn yourself with an accordion goes with know thy enemy.

The Sentinels know how to do the second part and have no need for the first part.

Xmans rarely know who their enemies are until they are shooting at them and they often are only partially aware who they are.

I'm from the future so I have genetic caused chronopsychosis also my latent magnetic field erases mechanical hard drives, floppies, and swipe cards, so I'm not allowed to work on Cerebro. Which with a couple upgrades would be a non-issue, but take that up with the Dean.
