Xavier had plans for recruiting these mutants to be his next generation of students. These plans were prematurely activated by the appearance of a group of techno- organic mutacidal beings known as the Phalanx who accessed Xavier's records to discover the locations of the youngsters. Banshee, Sabretooth, Emma Frost and Jubilee went after them to save the young mutants, some of whom didn't even know of their powers. Ultimately most of the kidnapped teens were rescued and joined the school under the instruction of Banshee and Emma Frost. Synch is very confident in his abilities and his control of them. Powers/Tactics: Everett bio-sympathetically "synchs" with nearby mutagenic auras, essentially giving him the powers of the other mutant. To do this he must concentrate (i.e. use his Detect) to lock on from a distance, or else he has no control and simply duplicates the powers of the most powerful mutant in the vicinity. Evidently he can retain the mimicked powers until he doesn't want to any longer or the mimicked person moves beyond his range (which has not yet been determined). He can use his synch aura to scan for mutants and determine the general nature of their powers, as well. When using his powers, his synch field fluctuates in rainbow hues about him. So far he has exhibited the ability to use the sonic scream of Banshee, retain the bulk and strength of Sabretooth, and duplicate the powers of his teammates Skin, Jubilee, and Chamber. His defenses aren't really very high; he relies on having his aura duplicate those of others. This write-up reflects Synch at the time of Generation X #10. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Write-up copyright © 1996 by Tim Larson (spock@courtave.net); Permission granted to duplicate and transmit, as long as this note is not removed.
