Name: Kevin Nicholas MacTaggert.
Nickname(s): Kev, Vinny, X, [Codename: Proteus]
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Birthday: December 14
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Job: Frequent prisoner
Powers: According to Marvel, he is the most powerful/Most deadly mutant ever written.

Proteus is a mutant that possesses a vast psionic ability to manipulate and alter reality. He can exist in a state of pure psionic energy and can take possession of human bodies that his energies eventually "burn" out, killing them (except his own original body, though it becomes quite weakened). Proteus also possesses telepathic abilities. His reality manipulation powers allow him to transmute matter and bend the laws of physics according to his imagination within a certain distance.

Using this power he can easily turn a building into liquid, turn a vehicle into bees that attack at his mental command, transform energy into matter, manipulate weather, or strip a person of their mutant powers. He often reverses local gravity, opens fissures in the earth, and stretches people painfully into liquid shapes (they return to normal when he no longer concentrates on manipulating their bodies). Use of this ability tends to speed up the rate at which his body will burn out. Proteus' reality warping ability is contingent upon line of sight: if he shifts his sight to another object and warps it, the previous object he was warping will return to normal.

Proteus can enter and completely possess another living being. Only beings with metal in their bodies appear to be immune. The bodies of most beings burn out within hours or a few days, although a few have been known to last longer. Proteus can leave a body before it is destroyed, but he usually does not. No possessed person has been shown able to resist or break free of Proteus' domination. Proteus has access to all the memories of his host while he possesses them and after he has left the body. Proteus has occasionally exhibited some telepathy, perfect recall, and the ability to mentally download computer information. If pushed, Proteus can possess multiple individuals simultaneously.

Proteus can become a being made of energy at will. He will also do this automatically whenever his body burns out so badly that it disintegrates. The ability to possess a new host and to manipulate reality is greater in this form. However, it is more vulnerable to the touch of metal. Contact with enough metal in this form can disrupt Proteus' energy and destroy his consciousness, dispersing it. His consciousness reforms after a disruption, but he has usually needs some assistance. Proteus is able to transport himself inter-dimensionally.

Personality: He's a catalyst for destruction. Charismatic with negativity and sarcastic beyond belief. He's sly and curious, embracing his true nature, that of a hunter. Although deep down behind those steel inforced walls around his heart, he still has a soft spot.

One thats hard to find but it's there, though the fire will always burn.He comes across as quite arrogant at times and shows no remorse for the killings he has committed. He is also very seductive and is willing to do what it takes to get what he wants. He enjoys toying with people and wreaking havoc. Has a tendency to be very mysterious until you've earned his trust, a rare feat. Depending on the situation, he can be sensitive or bestial, intelligent or uncouth. What you see is not always what you get with this guy.

History: Despite being one of the most powerful mutants, Proteus was not fortunate enough to have a happy life. Even his conception was under unpleasant circumstances. He was the son of Moira MacTaggert and her sinister husband, Joseph MacTaggert, who forced Moira into an unhappy marriage. Kevin was conceived after his mother, Moira, was severely beaten and raped by Joseph. After this traumatic experience, Moira left Joseph. She did not notify him that she was pregnant with his child..Moira and Kevin lived at her Mutant Research Centre on Muir Island, off the coast of Scotland. Kevin eventually began manifesting his mutant abilities and became a danger to everyone around him. His abilities gave him an uncontrollable hunger for energy. To protect herself and others, Moira was forced to confine Kevin. To keep the truth about her son secret, she began to describe him to others only as Mutant X.

For years, Kevin remained inside his cell, sustained by isoteric energy fields that kept his body from burning itself out, until one day, after a battle between Magneto and the X-Men, his cell was damaged and Kevin was able to escape when he took over the body of Angus MacWhirther. During his escape, Kevin came into contact with Phoenix, Polaris, and Multiple Man. While he was able to defeat Polaris and Multiple Man, he barely escaped with his life when he confronted Phoenix.

Without the isosteric energy fields of his cell to sustain him, Kevin began to burn the body out. The only solution he could find was to possess human host bodies, one after another, including one of Multiple Man's duplicates, Ferdie Duncan, an unnamed policeman, and Jennie Banks. Kevin eventually encountered the X-Men and proceeded to rename himself "Proteus," after the Greek god. Proteus eventually went to Edinburgh, to possess his father, Joseph. After possessing his father, Proteus made a last stand against the X-Men. Joseph MacTaggert's body was destroyed in the battle.

Before Proteus could take another host, Colossus (in his metallic form) punched Proteus in his energy form. Due to Proteus' intolerance for metal, he was unable to maintain his energy form. His energy was therefore dispersed across the world, and the X-Men and Moira assumed that he had been killed. He wasn't. His energy form quickly pulled together and reassembled. After burning through a string of bodies, he went back to reclaim his own. His mother had been keeping it alive, debating whether or not to clone him. After she had gone to bed, he removed the tubes and lines from the body and possessed it again, fleeing for America. He plans to eventually tell her he's alive and well, but he's not ready yet.

Role Play Sample: Dean drove all the way to Chandler, Arizona. All the way was an overstatement. They hadn't been too far away when they'd gotten the call and as soon as he knew who it was and where they were headed, he was the first one in the car. He didn't know what was going on. She had been pretty vague on the details. He couldn't imagine what was going on, but he was glad he was made aware of it.

This was Selena, not some average passerby. Sure, he cared about the innocent, but friends and family came first in Dean's life. When they'd gotten the call, Dean was in the shower and didn't have a lot of time to get ready. He wore a black Metallica t-shirt, dark jeans and his favorite boots with the multiple grommets. They took forever to lace up but they were comfortable and were great if he had to kick in a door.

He kept trying to think of a reason she would have called out of the blue like that. He had the feeling that whatever it was had to be a hunt of some kind. He doubted she would have them drive up there just for a social call. He wasn't opposed to a visit, but he would have liked a bit of warning if that's what it was. He was glad he had money o him. He didn't know how long he would be in town there or even what he might be hunting. Hopefully whatever it was would be interesting.

He seemed to be having quite a few run-ins with vampires lately and he didn't know if he wanted to go on another vampire hunt just yet. The last one had been almost too easy. His beloved Impala flew down the back roads until he finally spotted the 'Welcome to Chandler' sign. He slowed the car down as he drove through the town. He didn't want to miss the motel she was staying at. As he drove, he saw various signs indicating that the circus was in town.

That would certainly be fun. After the hunt at the carnival, he wasn't that big on circuses, but it would give him an opportunity to torment Sam. He grinned mischievously at that thought. Finally, he spotted her motel and her car was parked outside of it. He snickered quietly at his brother's comment about the motel name. "Or a really strange sports bar." Leave it to Dean to come up with that. He pulled into a parking space nearby and shut the car off. He got out and shut his door. He didn't know what room was hers so he started walking up the row and spotted her leaning against her car. He approached slowly, not wanting to startle her. "Hey Sel, what seems to be the problem?".
