Description Finally colored! I'm debating getting rid of the title, it's so stupid. -_-;

So this is a WATXM (Wolverine and the X-Men) style design of the Outcasts from the Age of Apocalypse timeline. The group, led by Forge, travels the countryside posing as a circus troupe, protected by Mastermind's illusions, in order to keep attention away from them while Forge trains Nate in controlling and using his powers.

This is an alternate universe (because Marvel *NEVER* makes those, what am I thinking? *gasp!*) so some descriptions will be different than the official ones.

From left to right:

Soaron (Karl Lykos)
Extremely bad-tempered and reclusive, Soaron often makes sarcastic remarks about the situations the group finds themselves in, and constantly referrs to Nate as a "whelp". After an attack injures his wing, grounding him, Soaron receives help from Forge, who has just left Magneto's X-men. Though it's a trial, Forge eventually wins his friendship and loyalty as Soaron recovers.

Sonique (Theresa Maeve Rourke Cassidy)
Theresa (also known as Siryn and Banshee, after her late father) is an Irish mutant who possesses a "sonic scream" capable of incapacitating and injuring an opponent's hearing and sending powerful vibrations through the air. She can also use these vibrations to fly. She is taken in by the Outcasts as a young girl after they discover her being held captive by Infinites. Sonique attaches herself to Mortimer (much to his bewilderment), since he is one of the first to arrive on the scene to help rescue her. As she grows up, she remains close to Toad, who she sees as a father figure, and develops strong feelings for Nate Grey.

X-Man (Nate Grey)
Nate was artificially created by Mr. Sinister, using genetic material from Cyclops and Phoenix. Sinister created Nate as the ultimate mutant (both telekinetic and telepathic) and hoped to use him in his own bid for power against Apocalypse. Cyclops, in his many subversive raids on Sinister's pens, helped Nate escape Sinister's hideout. Neither knew their connection to the other. After they became separated, Nate was found by Forge, winding under his tutelage and that of several other mutant outcasts. Forge has begun the long process of teaching Nate how to control his powers as well as the benefits of being a "good guy". Nate is now seeing the horrors of Apocalypse's world firsthand, and is determined to bring him down. As he grows into a man, he discovers his feelings for Sonique.

Forge (Jonathan Silvercloud)
Forge was once a member of Magneto's X-Men. He left them to go his own way and became the founder and leader of the Outcasts, an anti-Apocalypse resistance cell of mutants in the disguise of a traveling theatre group. He has become a father figure and teacher to Nate Grey. His closest friends are Soaron and Toad, though they argue constantly with each other.

Toad (Mortimer Toynbee)
Once a soldier of Apocalypse, Mortimer became disgusted by the senseless killing of non-mutants and let some of the prisoners go. He managed to make it look like incompetence rather than treason, resulting in torture and exile to the desert (rather than being executed). Forge and Soaron found him collapsed, and after a debate as to whether they could trust a soldier, Forge won. Mortimer has proved himself useful as a swordsman and a scout, not to mention an excellent 'Robin Goodfellow'.

Mastermind (Martinique Wyngarde)
After the Sugar-Man tortures her mute in another dimension, Mastermind is found and nursed back to health by the Outcasts. Her illusions keep them safe and hidden on their travels, and sometimes add a bit of flair to their theatrical productions.

Brute (Mark Hallet)
Brute is the muscle of the Outcasts, known for his kindness and immense strength. Though not too bright, he has a heart of gold and has feelings for Martinique that are later returned.

Ooooooh, I love this. It kind of makes me want to go back and reread some of the Apocalypse fic you wrote. Love Forge's look, and Mort's got some great hair going on there.

(ALSO I KNOW I STILL HAVE NOT REVIEWED YOUR LAST FIC AND THAT IS BECAUSE I SUCK. But I will be catching up on a lot of things tomorrow and that will be one of them.)
