Real Name: Unrevealed
Occupation: Shaman
Legal Status: Citizen of Australia with no criminal record
Identity: Aside from the X-Men, the Reavers, and some aborigines, the world is unaware of Gateway’s existence
Place of Birth: Unrevealed, presumably Australia
Marital Status: Unrevealed
Known Relatives: None
Base of Operations: Mobile
Past Group Affiliations: X-Men
Known Powers:
Teleportation: Gateway’s one known power is the ability to open a gateway between his holy place and wherever the subject desired to go, with Class 1000 ability. The maximum number of people he could teleport in this manner is unknown (he could teleport several dozen Reavers). His maximum range is also unknown. Gateway also seems to know when those who have been teleported wish to return, and can re open the gate between their destination and his holy place to bring them back, also with Class 1000 ability. Gateway requires a fire to use his power, which is extinguished when the gate is closed, and his sacred bullroarer, which he must whirl to use his teleportation abilities.
Talents:
Gateway has knowledge of aboriginal lore and their magical traditions. He has no other known skills.
Contacts:
Gateway is a member of the X-Men. He might have a contact with Talisman, a New Zealand superhero who uses similar maqicks.
Role-Playing Notes:
Gateway serves two purposes: first, he is a transportation system that allows heroes to get to any location they choose, and bring them back when their work is completed. Second, Gateway’s mysterious past serves to bring new elements into the plot at an unexpected moment. Gateway himself is always silent and stoic, totally faithful to the X-Men—or so it would appear.
History:
Nothing is known about Gateway’s past. He seems to serve as a shaman, a guardian of the spirits of one of the holy places of the Australian aborigines. Some time ago, Gate way became indebted to the Reavers, a group of Australian based cyborgs that terrorized Southeast Asia. Using a camp near Gateway’s holy place, the Reavers spread fear and terror throughout the South Pacific. However, their activities be came known to the X-Men, who raided their camp. Gateway pro vided Skullbuster and Prettyboy with an escape route after Skullbuster promised that all accounts were squared and all debts paid. Wolverine then proceeded to attack Gate way, but was kept from killing him by Storm, who realized that he wasn’t a Reaver. Gateway has since functioned as the X-Men’s transportation system.
