JITTER
Real Name: Sofia Yong Mutant Power: Hyper-Focus
Sofia can do anything she sets her mind to—accessing talents and skills most people train their lives to develop. The only downside for the Singaporean teen is the immediate crash if she exerts her ability for too long. Constantly on the move, she keeps a stopwatch on her at all times so she never has to slow down—not even to sleep!
RANSOM
Real Name: Valentin Correa Mutant Power: Black Hole Heart
The young Valentin was born in Buenos Aires with a black hole in place of his heart. Abandoned by his parents after he was kidnapped and held for ransom as a child, Valentin discovered that his captors' bullets only made him stronger, and he escaped. Since that time, he's made his own way on the mean streets of the world.
DEATHDREAM
Real Name: Hotoru Mutant Power: Death State/Ghost Summoning
In Kyoto, Japan, the baby Hotoru died during childbirth and was resuscitated. As a teen, he is able to choose a state of life, or one of death at will. In his state as a walking corpse, he has a deep connection to the spirit world, and can summon the souls and power of the unliving. Hotoru struggles to understand the living world, and sometimes, prefers the grave.
CALICO
Real Name: Becca Constance Simon-Pinette Mutant Power: Psychic connection with her horse, Ember
Becca was raised as a perfect American princess by wealthy and overprotective parents who taught her to hate and fear mutants—so she has a hard time accepting that she is one herself. She shares a powerful connection with her steed, Ember, which can transform into a variety of different horse-forms at her command.
