Angelo Espinosa (Earth-2299)

Elastic-Boy

This time it's a character that all trolls the internet do not question any of hiding that "hate" and "want it to continue and dead" and add that "since it was late." I speak of the Hispanic mutant Angelo Espinosa the "Skin" of the mutants characters that had one of the most stupid and brutal deaths ("crucified" before the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning by anti-mutant religious radicals ... my God ...). Something with which I do not agree at all because there is no such thing as a character to be "more" or "less" important that other.

Elastic-Boy is a Latin American member of Generation X, who previously owned the mutant ability to manipulate his own skin being known as "Skin" and integrating the team Generation X. He died in Uncanny X-Men, after being crucified on the lawn in front of the X-Mansion by religious fanatics anti-mutant members of the Church of Humanity. Subsequently however it would be revived by Selene in Necrosha miniseries along with much of the population killed in the genocide led by Sentinels under the control of Cassandra Nova's Genosha Island thanks to teknorganic virus Phalanx. Shortly after he and most of the dead members of Generation X were to be raised in short and return with their individual powers extended to the maximum.

Origin

Angelo Espinosa was a gang banger from Los Angeles who's life of violence forced him to fake his own death During a gang fight in Which his girlfriend seemingly killed several people. He still had the gun he had found on him after waking up from unconsciousness, so Skin plugged so the gun That It Could never be fired, keeping it as a reminder of the painful night que had changed his life. He first cam to X-Men's attention When he, Among other young mutants, Were kidnapped by technorganic Phalanx. After escaping the Phalanx, Espinosa was offered a place at the new branch school Xavier was creating at Emma Frost's Massachusetts Academy.

Unlike the other members of Generation X, Skin did not want to Become an X-Man, he only wanted to learn how to control his powers.

Generation X

At first dour and cynical, Angelo soon Became one of the team's pillars perspective and good humor, even the nursing severally deformed Decibel (at the team known the Chamber) out of his funk and occasionally getting the elitist M to loosen up a little. Angelo Also developed a good friendship with Paige Guthrie (Husk), and They called each other "city mouse" and "country mouse". Husk was one of the first people to notice que Skin was worried of his extra skin tearing or ripping When he volunteered for duty monitor instead of searching for Penance. Angelo was Recognized by someone from Los Angeles at one point, Which prompted him to threaten to kill him if he blew his cover and Told everyone he was alive. Despite que Angelo tried to act tough, he had a soft spot Actually for former Morlocks Artie and Leech, even helping Synch build a tree house for Them.

Over time, Skin improved the use of his powers, learning how to retract it so que Could he look ordinary. As a result of this though, Skin would get migraines from the intense concentration. Skin, Chamber and Penance Were not allowed on several missions, As They would have made Generation X stand out so had to stay at the Academy. Unfortunately, due to his encounter with the psychic entity Onslaught, Chamber Began to feel weak. To try and help his friend, Skin tried to drive him to the Xavier Institute, but was stopped by the X-Cutioner, who thought que Skin was the murderer of ... Angelos Espinosa. Since he had Been using his real name at the academy, that's why the X-Cutioner thought que Skin was his murderer. Skin Chamber hid in a pool of mud, and surprisingly he managed to defeat the X-Cutioner using his powers creatively. However, During the fight with X-Cutioner, Chamber and Skin's car was damaged, and They now had to hitchhike to Xavier's. Before They got there, Onslaught was defeated by several teams of heroes and Chamber recovered quickly on his own. Thanks to the Skin for trying to help him, Chamber Accompanied him to Los Angeles, since it was almost a year since Skin had announced Been dead. Skin disguised himself to an old man and comforted his mother whilst she visited his grave.

A few weeks later, Generation X Were captured by Black Tom Cassidy, who stranded Them all out in the middle of the ocean of the raft. Were all of them suffering badly, but Skin was suffering the worst, his skin was the spreading out and he was only half-conscious. Luckily, he was saved from third-degree burns by Chamber, who ripped October part of the raft and used it as a sun shield for Skin. The team met Glorian, the Shaper of Dreams, who saved them all and put Them in fantasy worlds According to Their dreams. Skin was tied to a pole and was yelled at by Glorian, who Could Not accept que Skin did not want anything. Eventually Skin Convinced Glorian que he did not look hard enough the to What They wanted, and so Glorian Skin asked what he really wanted. Skin que said he wanted to go home, meaning the Academy, but it Glorian misinterpreted the que he wanted to go back to Los Angeles, and transported the team there. Upon arrival, Generation X Were targeted by Sentinels of Operation: Zero Tolerance. Generation X hid at a cousin's house of Skin, who was the only member of his family who knew que he was alive. Skin was so desperate for help from the Sentinels que he even Contacted his old girlfriend, Tores, but she thought he had killed the people que he thought she had killed (see above) and was angry with him. Tores was threatening to kill Skin When a group of Sentinels started attacking Them. It turned October que Tores was a mutant too, and so she helped Generation X fight off the Sentinels temporarily. With a good amount of luck and some help from Tores, Generation X managed to survive until SHIELD shut down Operation: Zero Tolerance.

When Generation X returned to the States, the daughter of the Local police chief, Tracy Authier, raided the mansion with a friend and redbourn Wolverine's hat que had Been Given to Jubilee, Husk's personal diary and the gun que Skin had Been thought killed with, plugged up. Jubilee, Husk and Skin managed to convince her que she shouldnt give back the personal items, but only if casette They her a personal tour of the mansion.

Sometime later, Skin Decided to return to Los Angeles (Accompanied by Husk and Jubilee) and explain what had happened to Tores. It turned October que neither of Them had Been Responsible for the murder, but had Been framed by someone named Lupo, who arrived at que point. He tried to kill Tores and Skin, but Tores vaporized him with her powers before he Could Kill Them. Meanwhile, Skin and his friends hid behind a large container. At que point, Skin's mother arrived on the scene since she had heard que her son was miraculously back from the dead. Since she had seen Tores kill someone with her powers, Skin's mother Believed que Tores was a demon of some kind, she was the highly religious. Tores tried to convince Skin's mother que it was not her fault que she was a mutant and the normal was as her, but Skin's mother would not listen. Also she added que if Skin had ever shown any signs of the devil, that she would disown him and never speak his name again. Overhearing all of this, Skin Realized que Could he never reveal to his mother que he was alive.

Counter X

When the school Began to run out of money, Emma Frost turned to her sister for help. Unfortunately, this meant que in order to pay various bills, the school would have to start accepting human students. Skin and Chamber had to hide Their powers Skin by claiming he had a rare skin disease and Chamber being mute the burn victim. This meant Chamber and Skin BOTH got a lot of unwanted attention. It was even worse for Artie, Leech and Penance, who had to stay in Their rooms the whole team and Could Not leave. With all the human students around, it Reminded Skin of his life before he was a mutant: he had had good looks and a good looking girlfriend. Due to his appearance, Skin thought he'd never feel like that again. To cheer him up, Artie and Leech arranged it so que Skin went to the dance with Monet St. Croix, the hottest girl in school. While Skin tried to thank her, she que Explained the reason she went with him was que no one else had asked her out since she They thought was out of Their league.

A few weeks later, Skin encountered some people arguing. Trying to stop Them before something violent happened, one of the boys accidentally grabbed Skin's wrist, making his skin stretch. The boy Suspected que Skin was a mutant, and Told his parents. Emma Frost tried to convince the boy's parents que it was just part of his disease, but was not entirely successful. The short team later, Emma's sister tried to get revenge on Emma by revealing Which members of the school Were mutants, causing a riot. Also she planted bombs around the school, Which killed Generation X member Synch When he tried to disarm Them. Generation X Decided que the team is learning how to use Their powers was over and the time for using Them for something good had Begun. Skin trained and found new, creative ways he could use his powers. He managed to use these powers to defeat four thugs who had kidnapped Banshee due to his old career of an Interpol agent.

Angelo and Jubilee Were Among the mutants kidnapped by the "Church Of Humanity" and crucified on the Xavier's Institute's front lawn. While Jubilee Could be saved by Angel's healing blood, Angelo did not have a matching blood type and was unable to be revived.

He was brought back to life by Eli Bard to be sacrificed to make a goddess Selene. He was seen with the colleague Synch as one of Gen-Xers. They were attacking the younger mutants that included his friend when Husk finally managed to overcome the mental domain Selene (largely mainly Jubilee help all the time trying to remember Angelo about his past) .again live Skin realized his mutant power It had been expanded to a new level. He again had the good looks that had and now had powers elastic up very similarly to Reed Richards Mr. Fantastic and convert your body into an elastic material stretchable by hundreds of meters. Elated with joy at his newfound power Angelo was convinced by Wolverine to train under the tutelage Xorn of the All New Generation X along with the other members revived. He took the new code name Elastic-Boy and still hopes to remake his life and perhaps return to his home and be able to tell his mother that he is alive and is a mutant and see approval and love instead of hatred and fanaticism in your eyes.

Powers

Powers and Abilities

Physiology malleable: Elastic-Boy powers are derived from a mutant condition and a secondary mutation that he suffered as a result of having been raised by the virus teknorganic during  Necrosha events. As a result he had all the mutagenic potential of his mutant body released in its maximum turning their physiology. Angelo now exists in a fluid state, not fully liquid nor solid. Elastic-Boy has complete control over his bodily structure.

Density Control: Elastic-Boy can change your density at will; becoming so dense as a rock or as flexible as a rubber band.

Malleability (elasticity / plasticity): He can stretch his limbs and body to lengths and sizes superhuman. There is no known limit to how far he can stretch his body.

Change Size: He can shrink down to a few centimeters tall (standing as one of a belt buttons) or become a titan (the skyscraper size).

Change of form: He can contort his body in various positions and sizes impossible for ordinary humans, such as becoming completely flat so that he can slide under a door or using your fingers to open conventional locks turning your finger a master key. He can also use this power to disguise by changing the shape of your face and body. Thanks to its fluid state, Elastic-Boy can open holes in your body and turn into objects with moving parts. Also, he can change your body mass and physical constitution at will; there is virtually no limit to the size and shape that he can turn.

Superhuman agility: These stretching powers grant the Elastic-Boy increased agility allowing you flexibility and coordination that is extraordinarily beyond the natural limits of the human body.

Color Change: The only limitation he has concerns color, he can not change without intense concentration. He usually does not use this ability and variations to your gray skin and his uniform red.

Invulnerability: Elastic-Boy's powers dramatically increase their durability. Some stories, perhaps anecdotal quality, since you showed susceptible to surprise attack by bullets in a runny case a substance similar to liquid plastic. Most of the stories, however, he is able to withstand corrosives, punctures and bruises without suffering any damage (though it can be momentarily stunned). He is resistant to high speed impacts that would kill an ordinary person, resistant energy weapon explosions (The Beast once mentioned that he could probably even withstand a nuclear blast), and is bulletproof. Their body mass can be dispersed, but for all intents and purposes, is invulnerable.

Regeneration: He can regenerate and / or assimilate lost or damaged tissue, although he needs to be reasonably intact for this process to begin; he was reduced to separate molecules and scattered across the ocean for centuries, only returning to he usual way after the rest of Generation X were able to gather enough of its molecules and restore about 80% of their body mass, after he started regenerate from what they had recovered.

Telepathic Immunity: As stated by the Beast : "Elastic-Boy Mind is no longer organic and is therefore untouchable by telepathy."

Immortality: The Elastic-Boy does not appear to show the effects of age; if he does, he's a much slower pace than normal humans. In the aftermath of the history of Generation X in which they travel back in time to the Age Hiboreana, Elastic-Boy who had been displaced in time it was discovered that survived for 3000 years dispersed in separate molecules in the Atlantic Ocean. He now has more than 3000 years old and is still active as a superhero.

Ultrasonic Detection: Your body will begin to "vibrate" when an ultrasonic frequency is triggered.
