Upon escaping, Scott was adopted by the Mutant criminal Jack Winters, aka Jack O'Diamonds. The man abused Scott when he refused to follow his orders, but Scott was luckily saved by Charles Xavier not long after, becoming one of the first students at the Institute.
Impossible, kid? That word don't exist anymore -- not for me! Jack Winters |
I...I stole the power description from the wiki...ThatGuyWithSouvlaki Accepted! Though at this point the X-Men have not been formed yet and have not had any adventures, but thank you for the detailed power descriptions!
Also i didn't intend on the X men formed yet but that Hank was let in on the plan and will help Xavier form it if that is ok. It is similar to what happened in the comics to the best of my knowledge.ThatGuyWithSouvlaki Accepted! Though at this point the X-Men have not been formed yet and have not had any adventures, but thank you for the detailed power descriptions!
Nice! It'll be great to have Scott meet Jack again!It's curious how you mentioned him because I was toying with the idea of being...
Name:
Impossible, kid? That word don't exist anymore -- not for me! Jack Winters
Jack Winters
Code Name:
Jack O'Diamonds/The Living Diamond
Age:
42
Personality:
Winters believes mutants were born to rule and is completely obsessed with power and profit. He will do anything and risk everything to achieve his goals. He will lie, steal, manipulate, threaten, kill, and even risk his own life, if there is chance he can gain more power.
Bio:
Jack Winters was a worker at the Blenheim-Gilboa Nuclear Facility. Not making enough money to pay off his gambling debts, he decided to steal some of his boss' radioactive materials and sell them back to him. One of the flasks he was attempting to steal exploded and Winters escaped without getting caught, after which he spent a couple of weeks in hospital. Several nights later he began to detect brainwaves and he found that his hands had transformed into flexible diamond.
Winters decided that a more powerful dose of radiation would turn his whole body into diamond and possible increase his psychic powers as well. He plotted to recruit another mutant to help him.
As Scott Summers fled from his pursuers after first using his powers in public, he came upon the shack of Jack who sensed his presence and psychically summoned him into the shack as well. When Scott entered, Winters told him that he, too, was a mutant, and that they were born to rule
Winters explained what mutants were to Summers, after which he sensed approaching police and teleported Summers and then himself somewhere outside Westchester County. New York. Winters threatened to kill Summers if he refused to assist him in increasing his powers, but Professor X, having been tracking Summers mentally tried to convince Winters to abandon his quest for power. Professor X confronted Winters who ordered Summers to blast him, but Summers refused, not wishing to kill the man. Professor X found that Winter's mental powers protected him from psychic attack, and Winters moved forward to destroy him.
Unable to overcome Xavier's powers completely, Winters could not grab Xavier himself, so he again ordered Summers to blast him, and Summers again refused. Winters then smashed a support girder and hurled it at Xavier, but this caused the roof to cave in, and they fled. Winters led Summers to the plant before rushing inside and exposing himself to the energies of the cyclotron. Professor X arrived outside the plant and subdued the other guards attacking Summers, and Winters continued to increase his power until he burst through the wall of the plant, now a Living Diamond.
Winters confronted Summers and Professor X, ignoring the latter's efforts to convince him to give up so he could help him. Professor X's mental bolts could not penetrate the Living Diamond's body, and Winters prepared to smash Xavier until Summers blasted Winters back. Summers and Professor X fled into the facility and located an Ultrasonic Vibration-Inducer just seconds before Winters smashed the door down. With Xavier's guidance, Summers trained the Vibration-Inducer on Winters, which made it harder for him to move. Winters resisted fiercely and his struggle against the vibrations caused his body to explode, leaving nothing behind. At least, that is what Summers and Xavier believed. In actuality, Winters used his teleportation power to separate his atoms and reassemble himself elsewhere, to plot and scheme once again.
Powers:
Other:
- Radiation Resistance: This seems to be his true mutant power, since his other abilities came from exposure to radiation. Since he was able to survive the radiation, he mutated and gained further powers.
- Diamond body: After being exposed to radioactive isotopes in a lab accident, Jack's skin was mutated to become a diamond-like substance. This granted him a degree of superhuman strength and resistance, allowing him to break steel beams with his diamond hands. After further exposure to radiation his entire body became flexible diamond alloy, allowing him to withstand optic blasts from a young Cyclops.
- Telepathy: Jack has a mild form of telepathy in which he is able to sense people's presences, as well as send out mental suggestions to others to bend their will. He can also use this ability to block other telepathic assaults against him.
- Teleportation: Jack can teleport himself and others short distances by separating the atoms in their bodies and recombining them at their destination.
