An Introduction

I am the Ephemerist. Your regularly scheduled Watcher is busy hosting issues of 'What If?', and can't be concerned with a paltry, dark and miniscule piece of the Multiverse like the one I'm about to show you. No universe-spanning Star Empires, no higher beings running around in human bodies, no time-travel, very little in the way of magic or the paranormal. Science rules the day, and so does the passage of time.
Heroes age here; heroes die.

Welcome to Earth-659.
Welcome to Earth Prime.

Xavier File 076


x076 -- Anne Marie Mathis

Vital Statistics

Height: 5'9" (168cm)
Weight: 145 lbs (59kg)
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
D-O-B: 18-7-1987

Classification: Homo Sapiens Superior - Delta
Codename: Rogue

Mutant Abilities: Energy absorption through skin contact

Xavier's Notes: "After all this time, Anne still goes by Rogue, as if she's uncomfortable with the name she was born with. Only Emma, myself, and a few of the administration staff at the Massachusetts Academy even know of it. She seems to prefer it that way. I do hope that there will be a time that Anne feels at ease with her teammates. Perhaps then, she will tell them.

"Despite her fears and her secrecy, Rogue has grown into a bright and capable leader, though she would never admit to being so. She came in a ward of the state, a petty criminal, and has blossomed under our care to graduate at the top of her class.

"I do understand her need for psychological distance, however. It seems to match the physical one she's erected around herself. Her powers, while growing more versatile and less deadly with each rare application, are still without control. It has been over ten years since the last time Anne's contact with another human being did not end with their thoughts swimming in her mind. In the years that I have tried to help her, I have come to believe that Anne's difficulties with her powers are psychological rather than physical. This difficulty, however, lies somewhere within the boundaries of a mind so guarded even I cannot breach."

Xavier File 011


x011 -- Summers, Scott


Vital Statistics

Height: 6' (184cm)
Weight: 180 lbs (81kg)
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
D-O-B: 28-12-1979

Classification: Homo Sapiens Superior - Beta
Codename: Cyclops

Mutant Abilities: Concussive Optic Blasts

Xavier's Notes: "As much as it pains me to say this, there are times when I see Scott as the son I never had. Rationally, I know that I am a father; I have a son, but David has been so difficult for so long, and Scott... it seems like Scott's always been here at my side.

"Scott came into my life when he was very young, not long after the boy lost both of his parents to a plane crash. He was so frail and afraid then, so unwilling to ask for help or even to accept help as it was offered. That fierce self-reliance and introversion is with him even to this day. I wonder how much I have contributed to his impersonation of Atlas himself, carrying the world on his shoulders alone.

"Scott's abilities are impressive but have proven uncontrollable. I wonder sometimes whether my attempts to help him with his powers have truly helped him at all. Ten years have passed and Scott still relies on the rare mineral ruby quartz to keep them at bay. The span of years spent here, with the school and with me, has strengthened him in other ways, however; they have honed him into a man that I feel confident will only become stronger as time goes on.

"When my age finally catches up with me and I pass on, I fear Scott may become even more embittered than he is now. He has taken the death of Jean so hard, even harder than the deaths of his parents. Time has done little to heal those wounds, I'm afraid. My second largest failing with him has been my inability to help.

"I do know that beneath this harsher, colder exterior Scott has been exhibiting recently, the idealistic man within him still exists, though he strives so hard to pretend it doesn't. Perhaps one day, Scott will come out of his shell. If I ever retire, I hope to leave my school to him. Maybe, one day, he'll be ready."

Xavier File 010


x010 -- Xavier, David


Vital Statistics

Height: 5'10" (178cm)
Weight: 145 lbs (65kg)
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
D-O-B: 2-6-1991

Classification: Homo Sapiens Superior - Alpha
Codename: None

Mutant Abilities: Quantakinesis, Telepathy

Xavier's Notes: "David is perhaps both my greatest achievement and my greatest failure. A mutant of near omnipotence, David has shown the ability to do just about anything within his mental grasp. Exceedingly bright, that grasp has grown in leaps and bounds. His potential is nearly without limit. The only other mutant ever to come close to his levels of power is Jean Grey.

"Unfortunately, David's powers manifested too early; he was unable to cope with the sheer amount of power and control at his command. He became psychotic; he developed paranoia and schizophrenia. Unfortunately, David's break with reality manifested itself in unfathomable ways. The phantoms of David's mind become real; his bouts of madness are shared by everyone around him.

"There is one defense against David's vast power; steel. It seems neither his quantakinetic nor his telepathic abilities are able to pierce this particular alloy. It is a blessing, perhaps, that steel is in great abundance.

"David is disturbed in ways even I do not understand. His mind is closed off to me; nothing I have tried has made any progress. Perhaps I have simply not tried enough with him. I might as well be on another planet, running the Institute while David remains exiled to the lowest levels of Moira's Muir Island Research Facility. Even now, I do not know what I can do to reach out to him. I fear what may happen should David escape his steel prison. I fear what my failures may cost ."

Mutant Classification

For classification purposes, scientists studying the mutant genome have devided mutants into a number of groups, based on the strength of the particular X-Factors of each.


Alpha Class


Alphas are mutants whose abilities extend far beyond their physical reach. These mutants can use their powers in an extremely long range, and often global, scale. While Alphas are the most powerful of all mutants, they are also the most closely tied to their powers. These mutants have versatile abilities, and often have multiple aspects within their scope of influence. These mutants are often burdened by their powers as much as gifted by them.


Beta Class


Betas are mutants who still maintain a long range with their abilities. These mutants can effect the enviornment as far as they can physically see. Athlough not as versatile as Alphas, some Betas lose range to gain it. Betas are also given to bouts of loss of control, though they generally struggle less than others.


Gamma Class


Gamma Mutants still maintain ranged abilities, or, if they lack range, have a number of versatile powers to make up for it. Gammas typically master their powers, and can live with them the most easily.


Delta Class


Deltas are lower powered still, below other classifications. Often these mutants have only one or two abilities, with limited range. Deltas also can develop negative side effects of their powers rather than positive ones.


Epsilon Class


Epsilons are mutants who would most closely represent the term 'freak'. These mutants often suffer from physical deformities and handicaps which limit their ability to integrate into society. Any ability Epsilons develop is limited in use, if useful at all.
