X-Men: eXemplary students
Featuring appearances by the student body and eight new students.
- Animal - A Mediterranean teen named Sander, he's brutish and fast, with a short temper and claws. For some reason like to take other's things but doesn't care about them once he's got them.
- Armament - Teri, a Blonde Irish teenager who seems to be getting into scuffs with the other students, much to Elysium's displeasure. The Staff keep confiscating various weapons from her person, where she gets them from is unknown.
- Artisan - Tom, a creative Thai boy who seems to be able to create and build anything he can think of if he puts his mind to it, which is quite a task. He'd rather be doodling and vandalizing the mansion with graffiti!
- Atrophy - Sho, a reclusive Japanese teen, he wears a mask and heavy leathers at all times and emits a particularly foul odor. Has a tendency of breaking things, with several chairs collapsing under his thin frame. He'd rather just sketch and avoids physical contact with anyone.
- Brunt - Marc, the largest of the eight and strangely the most familiar. He's a bit of a klutz and bumps into things, which has caused disarray when combined with his muscular frame and super strength!
- Elysium - A quiet African girl named Alison who has some form of Telepathic ability, however to the other telepaths, her thoughts are a din. She is surprisingly appears to be the leader of the eight despite being the youngest of them, keeping the other in line and ensuring they do not stray far from her.
- Kindle - Ann, a teen from the southern USA. She's a bit of a hothead as most flying pyrokinetics are and struggles to control the blazes she creates though she'd much prefer to work on her flight powers instead.
- Turbulence - Hailing from France, Gisette is passionate about the environment and preserving animals and their natural habitat. Occasionally having outbursts against the students who she see's as contributing to environmental decline, she's adamant about stopping climate change - even if she has to use her wind based powers to do it herself!
Solicitation 1
Eight new teenagers arrive at the Institute, but the something seems off about them... The existing students can't help but put their finger on it, but something about them seem vaguely familiar.
They keep causing trouble around the mansion and the teachers - THE X-MEN won't even talk about it? It's going to be up the the NEW X-MEN and friends to crack the case!
Solicitation 2
As the students continue to attend classes and training sessions one thing becomes certain - they are NOT fitting in with everyone else.
Despite the newcomers causing trouble at every turn, and constantly causing issues with each other and the students, they receive nothing but praise for their successes and pardons for their transgressions.
With rumors and theories flying as to why the teachers are giving the students so much lee way, a group of the student body ebbs closer to the truth!
Solicitation 3
Gangs! Factions! Cliques! When did the Xavier Institute return to a battleground of cutthroat rivalry?
With the X-Men's intervention - the eight new students have been split up and finally integrated into the student body - but has it caused more problems than it has solved?
Old rivalries, tensions and feuds reemerge between the students as they divide themselves into eight groups around each of the new students.
Will the students manage to figure out what's going on before the school erupts into chaos?
Solicitation 4
Hellions vs New Mutants? Lupines vs Elementals? Mind vs Muscle? When will the Bedlam stop?
With the X-men distant and ignoring the chaos surrounding them, the student body is now firmly divided into eight factions, each warring the others for dominance of the Institute.
It's up to the few remaining unaffected students to act before the mansion is destroyed again, could one of the eight hold all the answers?
Solicitation 5
The race is onto save the Institute from complete destruction!
With the true identities of the new exemplary students finally revealed, the gang must find a way to get to Alison before it's too late!
But with a full scale war between their friends, teachers and rivals erupting around them, they're going to have to play the factions against each other to survive!
Explanation:
So as some of you probably figured out, the eight new students are the Exemplars - Juggernaut included, with their memories and personalities being controlled by Bedlam.
In order to control them and keep them from destroying the world, Bedlam traps their true selves inside her own head, giving them each new memories and a persona.
Controlling Stonecutter into developing a machine that would de-age them, she enrolls them all at the Xavier Institute to keep them out of trouble, using her cosmic level psionic abilities to cause the X-men to look the other way.
As time goes on, she becomes overwhelmed and cannot hold back the influence of the Octessence, causing the school to divide into factions and the wager beginning anew.
Haven't really decided on the main roster of X-Kids to sleuth the issue but I'm sure you can all imagine your favorite team piecing the puzzle together.
