HENRY VOIGHT - An advanced Empath, Voight can tear through dreams like a dagger through flesh. He nearly brought down both Mutant X and Genomex. Now he roams free claiming to be pacified. Any wonder I have trouble sleeping at nights?

 

LORNA TEMPLETON - Is it possible the Insect feral has finally manifested? Dr. Breedlove swore it was an impossible hybrid but nature seems to have proved him wrong. It obvious the females are the dominant deadly ones. They mate, they kill. I must study Brennan’s tainted DNA samples and come up with some combatants to Ms. Templeton’s venom before she crosses our path again. It also brings new light to how to handle Charlotte Cooke in the future. Why are beautiful women so deadly?

JAY MINHAUS - He proved there is a foe that could bring us down as readily as Genomex: the press. I must reconsider my ties with Proxy Blue, the Midnight Press and all other media after this incident.

 

GABRIEL ASHLOCKE - New Mutant 01 has been released. The world could end tomorrow if we do not battle him back into his tomb. I helped create Gabriel, but I will not let him run amok as a Greek God. If it takes the ultimate price to defeat him, so be it.

 

AZIZA - It fascinates me that over a millennium ago, she was making similar discoveries in genetic mutations that rival my own. In the age of the mighty pharaohs, Aziza channeled all the available resources to create a new science and breed of human being. It would be staggeringly impressive if her motives had not been solely for power and corruption. I only had a glimpse of her, gleaming like a Egyptian goddess, but in her dark eyes was a drive that I have seen in another pair: my own. That I recognize it terrifies me more than her reincarnation ever did.

DIANA MOLLER - This poor girl found the only way she could control and hide her Psionic/Molecular powers was to reside in a mental ward. What does that say about the world I helped bring her into? Her gift of being able to generate time warps makes her a constant target of felons, politicians and zealots. Mutant X must do every thing it can to protect Diana until she feels safe enough to avoid the past and grow into her new future.

THE LINKS - Now that Ashlocke is gone, what do we do about his followers? They are all New Mutants, like those we have sworn to champion yet his poisonous mark may forever linger in their souls? Can Gabriel’s spirit be exorcised or will Mutant X eventually have to bring down their own?

MARK KEARNEY - Back at Genomex I sensed in him the same youthful hope that I once possessed. It was the wonder of science that brought him there, not the might he could wield with it. When he went with Malone’s group instead of mine it was out of vulnerability, not malice. Now he is paying the price for his choice. He’s still young enough to move beyond his past. It’s just a question of strength.

CYRUS PAYTON - Are you really gone? If not, have you been avenged? Questions to a living ghost.

COL. AARON GAUMONT - He invaded us with as swift and well-planned execution as any of his covert operative assignments. We were all rank amateurs in his eyes. Jesse was just a soulless, living weapon for him to take, use and discard. My lack of understanding the military thought process was just as much to blame as Beverly’s initial misinformation. I must up my comprehension of the mindset in the future, however repellant it is to me.

MICHAEL KEARN - You took nearly a dozen lives. Many of them innocents you had no quarrel with. You spread terror and panic and left only bloodshed in your trail. So why do I feel like we were the real beasts when all has been said and done?

 

CAPTAIN DAN MORRISON - Thanks to this young man, I believe in heroes again. He had no reason to trust us or keep our secret. Flying a mission over a hostile land, being mislead by his own government in the nature of this task, facing torture and death in Karakistan and then coming smack faced into the reality of New Mutants…Captain Morrison confronted more in a week’s span than most men do in a lifetime. Yet, throughout it all he never lost track of himself and his own ethics. He accepted Mutant X as equals without hesitation and refrained from dwelling on our past…or his own predicament…to keep him from correcting a bad situation in an ugly past of the world. Now he’s keeping our secret, even though it’s costing him fame and glory. Brennan was right to hold the team back until the Captain was rescued. He’s shown us strength of character that even the greatest genetic powers can only aspire to.

THE CITIZENS OF NEW HOPE - What a mixed blessing. On one hand, they’ve been cut off from a world that had grown corrupt and vulgar since their community disappeared. On the other, lack of society and interaction has left them with rules and morals that will set them at odds with most of what they will now encounter. It makes me wonder: have I protected the New Mutants too much so they’ll never be able to integrate if that time comes?

THE ALIENS - They walked among us with powers and agendas that could both harm and help. A few were corrupt but most were beings of normal character. Yet, no one could trust them and it is a relief that they are gone. This sounds all too familiar. I need to re-evaluate the New Mutants relationship with the rest of mankind.

NIKKI ROGERS - Where did I go wrong here? How could I not see the young Feral I once trained along side Shalimar had grown into damaged woman that almost destroyed us? I can’t hate Nikki, only myself. What kept me from ever checking up on her all these years? There is so much tragedy I could have prevented with her if I’d only relaxed my ambition for Mutant X to succeed. How much of Breedlove and Eckhart are really in my soul?
