— Plasma Blasters - Arm-mounted energy weapons for ranged combat.
— Enhanced Flight Boots - Allow faster flight but drain more power.
— Flight Stabilizers - Wing-like back attachment for improved aerodynamics.

Mobile Units:
— "Max" Drone - A semi-autonomous flying robot with a low-power laser capable of creating a conduit of ionized air which can support sufficient electric current to act as a taser.

History: As far as memory serves, until October 1st, 2017, Madrox was Felix Saavedra. His independent existence began when Felix used his "Visual Output" power on the Danger Room computer, managing to inadvertently create an advanced digital duplicate of himself. This duplicate was moved to Dr. McCoy's lab and eventually inserted into a robotic frame which was then covered by synthetic flesh to create a more human appearance.

When Felix was killed by a Sentinel in the spring of 2018, he vowed to protect other young mutants from similar fates. After the current X-Team program was started in, he was a solid choice to join it's ranks. Since then he has, under the initially reluctant guidance of Dr. Hank McCoy, sought substantial upgrades to his body. Wanting to be a more active member as he continued his education, he transferred to XIU for it's starting semester.

Physical Description: 225 lbs. Madrox has black hair and blue eyes and is identical to his late brother Felix except for lacking all of Felix's mutant features. He also has a well defined musculature (composed of synthetic muscle) and the tan skin one would expect of a human of Puerto Rican descent (if synthetic).

I'd like to see the gauntlet explained better. General bulkiness, the nature of these "hacking tools," whether it actually interfaces with his systems, etc.

I've been talking to Maddie in IRC, and indicated that the current power level shown is fine, but yeah, there's no harm in explaining the powers more, just so the mods have a handle on how Madrox will be able to deal with various threats that we cook up.

As far as I know, the glove does integrate into his systems, from the convo in IRC. The exact nature of the hacking tools has not been discussed yet, however.

Relatively light from the lightweight metals under the adamantium coating. There is a direct interface for motor control. The computer systems in the gauntlet take the forefront in any hacking attempt and can be disconnected from his systems if compromised.

Well still, what kind of hacking tools are we talking here? What kinds of feats can it accomplish? Breaking into encrypted wi-fi? Brute force password cracking? Any physical interfaces to machines? I'm not objecting to the presence of the hacking tools, but given that computer systems only get more prevalent as time passes, we're going to need the capabilities pretty defined.

[Domanic Taylor]

My own suggestion is wi-fi hacking, along with some ability to plug in a hard connection. Either way, it would essentially work like one of those 'dummy barriers' from Ghost In the Shell, where it provides a layer of protection between Madrox and whatever is being hacked, but it's his own computer brain doing the actual hacking work.

Correct me if that's not how you see it Madrox, but that's what I was envisioning.

[Madrox Saavedra]

What Dom just said pretty much fits the bill.

[Samantha McManus]

Well then, let's get this show on the road.

Approval 2/2

I'll hop onto the admin panel and get you into the correct usergroup in a second. Don't go buckwild until we have more people around, but feel free to give yourself a room in one of the two dorms.

Also, if Madrox needs any kind of special accommodations for his room, like a recharge socket or something similar that would require remodeling to some extent, you can assume that it has already been installed, as the University was taking applications and special-needs requests for several months before opening.

Response: Awesome.
