Wilson Grub / Mole

Resilience:  Wilson’s skin is highly resilient to blunt force, cuts and piercing attacks.  He is a lot more resilient against elemental attacks:  Heat, Fire, Ice, but he is far from immune.   Bullets or knives will not penetrate his skin, though Wolverine’s adamantium claws could cut him.

Tunneling/Earth Manipulation:  WIth Wilson’s claws and strength, he could easily burrow through dirt.  He has mild control over the earth he touches, as he could shape it.   Using this power, he can tunnel through standard dirt and stone about 10 MPH.   He can reach down and ‘scoop up’ a 200 Lbs boulder to hurl at his opponent.  This is one of his favorite attacks.   He prefers living underground.  When settling in a place, he likes to hollow out an underground lair and make his own furniture out of stone. He can not manipulate manmade substances, like concrete.

Radar:  Wilson has a radar, that accommodates for his blindness.   He can get the shape and movement of structure and people around them.   He gets the rough shape of people and animal, but it is hard to tell the difference between similar people the further they are from him.  He can not tell colors.  When within 10 feet of people he can pick out differences in people to tell who they are.  This radar goes out about 200 yds, when  there is no obstacles.  The more buildings and solid mass in his way will decrease his range.   He uses this to navigate while tunneling.   He has about a 25 yds radar through solid stone.

Senses:  He has mildly enhances hearing and smell.   He can hear roughly 4 times better than perfect human hearing.    Smell is his best sense to tell people apart.  He can use this to track humans, even after it has rained.  His sense of taste and touch are fairly normal.

Power Limitations: With permanent talons, he has great difficulty with his fine motor skills.   Using a keyboard would be very hard, and he would more than likely ruin it before he finished a paragraph.  He has thumbs, so he can grasp things, but holding tiny things take some work.  His wide feet and talons make it impossible for him to wear any shoe, unless something was specially made.

He is tall and heavy, so he has to be careful where he walked and goes.

His smell and hearing make him susceptible to attacked that would assault them: Gases, sonic, ect.

He is easy prey for any mentalist.  He has no shielding or protection from them.  Being attacked this way can send Wilson into a rage.

He is solely a carnivore. He gets no nutritional value from eating vegetables. Most just pass through his digestive system and others could upset it.

Hobbies and Interests: He likes to create thing with his earthen powers, but he does not like sharing that.  He thinks it makes him look like some pansy.   He loves listening to music, and has a love for old style R&B.

Background:  Destiny Grub was a mutant whose only ability was make anyone she touches desire her, as long as she maintains contact.  She was not the prettiest woman, and this ability made her feel desired.  She became a successful prostitute as a result.   This ability caused the pregnancy and birth of Wilson.  Wilson was born mutated, and his mother did not want to do much with him.   She hid him in her apartment and did little to mother him.   

When he was six,  he discovered his tunneling ability.  He loved his ability to open and close the earth around him as he moved around NYC without notice of his mutated features.  During this roaming,  he stumbled upon the Mulocks.   The took in the young Wilson and they became his family.

As he grew, Wilson became more and more of an asset to the Murlocks. He used the tunnels to get around and burrow up into buildings to take what they needed to survive. By the time he was 17, he was a leader in the Murlocks. He was also a wanted man by the police. He was a thief,  and he had badly injured police and killed a couple by accident.

As the Mutant Registration Act passed, the Murlocks grew bigger and bigger in size. It also, as a side-effect, the existence of the Murlocks became more noticeable. Wilson was able to close most tunnels to the lair of the Murlocks, but they needed supplies. During one of these raids, he and a small group of Murlocks were captured. He hated the restraining collar that left him totally blind and a lot weaker.

The Murlocks were able to rescue them before they got out of reach. Several mutants and more humans were killed. This made Wilson want to leave NYC. He was able to convince about fifty mutants to leave with him, but most wanted to stay.

The road was hard with so many mutants, most with physical mutations. Wilson was able to keep them underground most of the time, being this group's leader. They had a few encounters with angry human or law, where some were injured or killed on each side.

The nutritional needs made it harder on Wilson. The rest of his group was able to forage for vegetables or other food, but Wilson needed meat. At a very low point, he was forced to head back to a bad encounter where some humans were killed and the bodies hid. Desperate for food, he ate the human dead, but he kept it hidden from the rest of the group.

The Therizo virus made it easier for Wison's group to survive. With less humans about, they could more more in the open and get food easier. Mutants came and left, but the core were loyal and they were his family.  

They took in a mutant, who called himself Chaos. It was very apparent that he was not a good person. His reckless hatred of humans and need for power was causing too much attention for their group. Wilson and the core of his group asked him to leave. This angered Chaos and turned his power in Wilson. This power was the ability to make someone into a blind rage, wildly attacking anyone around them. Wilson was forced to muster dozens of his 'family' before they killed Choas and freed Wilson of the blind rage. This caused an utter hatred and distrust of any mentalist.

With only a small group left, the group sought some safe haven. There were whispers of the X-men were still about and had a safe base, after a few months of searching they were able to make contact and be brought to Pheonix Cove.

Personality: If you are able to earn Wilson's trust, he will be a very loyal friend. He is a leader of person as his power and thoughtful nature inspires his fellow mutants.  He has no love for humans, but mutants are his family. He knows that there are some mutants not deserving of his trust, but he is willing to give most mutants a shot. The exceptions to this trust are mutants with a mental power. He will resist and mental ability used on him, and he could get violently opposed to it.

He has little tolerance to verbal or physical abuse against mutants, especially mutant women. The person who does both will bring down a violent reaction from Wilson.
