Legion

How  many  of  you  have  heard  of  Legion?  If  you  have  I'm  impressed!  Though  he  is  the  son  of  Professor  Charles Xavier,  many  people  have  no  clue  of  who  he  is  or what amazing  powers  he  posses.  Legions  real  name  is  David Charles  Haller,  named  after  his  father.  Professor  Xavier  met  Gabrielle  Haller  at  an  institute  for  the  mentally traumatized  and  they  had  an  affair  resulting  in  the  birth  of their  son  David.  But  Professor  Xavier  was  unaware  of  the birth  of  his  own  son!  Their  relationship  did  not  work  out and  Gabrielle  never  told  him  of  their  child.  David  grew  up without  a  father  and  was  filled  with  anger  from  his  fathers "betrayal"  of  their  family.  When  David  was  young  he  was a  victim  of  a  terrorist  attack  which  caused  his  mutant powers  to  emerge  because  of  the  heightening  of  his emotions.  During  the  raid,  his  powers  went  off  and  he absorbed  the  leader  of  the  terrorist  group,  Karami's, consciousness  and  he  became  blended  with  his  own.  Obviously,  being  trapped  in  someone  elses'  mind   isn't  very  fun;  especially  when  that  person  is  David  Haller.  David  suffered  from  multiple  personality  disorder  before  this  event  and  after,  it  became even  worse.  His  personalities  separated  into  different  people,  each  with  their  own  unique  powers.  Now  imagine  adding  a  terrorist  into  this  group  of  your  personalities!  Ya,  not  good.  David's  earliest  "personalities"  were  Jack  Wayne,  who  controls  his  telekinetic  abilities,  and  Cindi,  who  controlled  his  pyrotechnic  powers.  (Powers relating to fire and explosions)  This  led  to  a  war  inside  his  brain  between  the  personalities  and  David's  own  mind.  His  father  eventually  had  to  come  in  and  assist  using  his  own  powers  of  telepathy.  Davids'  personalities  continued  to  split  and  become  their  own  as  time   went  on.  This  proves  to  be  a  difficulty  for  him  to  control  even  now.  He  has  currently  been  working  with  fellow  mutants  Magneto,  (Erik  Lensher)  Gambit,  (Remmy  Lebou) ,  Rogue,  (Anna  Marie)  and  Frenzy,  (Joanna  Cargill)  to  collect  some  of  his  recent  escaped  personalities.  Legion  is  a  very  powerful,  very  unstable,  mutant.  Though  he  has  recently  acquired  a  watch  that  helps  him  choose  which  personality  and  which  powers  to  wield,  it  has  become  increasingly  difficult  to  control.  Will  his  alternate  personalities  overtake  him?  Only  time  will  tell.  But  for  now,  Legion  is  here  to  stay.
