Wither
Kevin Ford
Fighting: Good
Agility: Typical
Strenth: Good
Endurance: Good
Reason: Typical
Intuition: Typical
Psyche: Typical
Health: 36
Karma: 18
Resources: Good
Pop: 0
Known Powers:
Wither decays, and eventually disintegrates, organic matter by touch - a power which is involuntary. With extended contact he would reduce almost anything - or anyone - organic to dust. This power is even more difficult to deal with due to the fact that it wants Kevin to use it. It has a "hunger", which gives Kevin a desire to use it. He is also sometimes shown to see things in their decayed form, such as live pigeons appearing to be decayed through his eyes.
Rotting Touch: This touch causes organic materials to decay at Amazing rank. Wither inflicts Amazing damage on those he touches. In addition, this touch acts on organic material (wood, rope, cloth) as an attempt to break the item with Amazing strength. Resistance to corrosives will offset the effects. This power can be directed against organic/natural Body Armor in order to weaken it, similar to the effect that claws have on inorganic body armor.
Equipment:
Costume: Good protection vs. Physical and Energy, allows Wither to touch other without causing them to decay.
Talents:
Student, Artist, Streetwise
Contacts:
Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, Hellions
History:
Kevin Ford developed his mutant powers at an unfortunate and unlucky time. Panicking as his clothes began to decay, his father tried to calm him down...and Kevin's power reduced him to dust. He has always considered himself cursed. A talented artist, Kevin lived in a scrap yard for a while (killing the guard dog with his touch, naturally) and turned unwanted scrap into beautiful art.
He was found and brought to the Xavier Institute, where he met and developed a crush on Laurie Collins. However, when he decayed the skin off the cyborg Donald Pierce, Dani Moonstar was forced to stop him by showing him his worst fear - killing Laurie. In the aftermath of this, and realising that using his power "felt right", he left the Institute.
Some months later Dani set out to bring him back to the school to fill the sixth place on the formalised New Mutants squad. While Kevin was still angry at Dani, He managed to persuade him to return, and he joined the New Mutants squad under the codename Wither.
Shortly after he returned to the school he was arrested by the FBI for killing his father, but the incident was deemed accidental by a criminal court in Atlanta, Georgia. Nonetheless, Ford would likely have fled before his trial had an attempted breakout by several of his fellow students been successful. An outcast even among his mutant peers, Ford is to be considered an extreme security risk.
