Mystic Blades: Shatterstar fights with a double-bladed sword forged using both science and sorcery. It has the following abilities:
  • The sword is made of an alien metal with Unearthly Material Strength. Shatterstar can inflict up to Incredible Edged Weapon damage with the blades.
  • Shapechanging: Allows Shatterstar to reshape the sword into different weapons, such as batons that inflict up to Incredible Blunt damage. He can also separate the blades and wield two identical weapons in order to make multiple attacks.
  • If he does not have time to change the blades into batons and does not want to risk killing a foe, Shatterstar can also strike with the spiked handguard, inflicting Remarkable Blunt damage.
  • Because of its sorcerous nature, the sword can cut through magical force fields and body armor, severing mystic bonds of up to Shift X Strength.
  • Shatterstar can also focus his will through his sword into a force beam of Amazing Intensity and range. Doing this fatigues him—reduce his Strength by 5 if he uses the ability more than once in a day. Lost Strength recovers at a rate of 1 point per hour of rest.

If the blades are separated, the damage and range of the blast are only Remarkable.

Role-Playing Notes:
Shatterstar lives to fight, but for all his confidence and battlelust, he isn’t a berserker, and will not fight needlessly or foolishly. He believes that combat is the center of his being, and war is a game to be played for victory and honor. As such, he prefers to kill his foes, but is willing to temper his aggressive instincts to suit his teammates. He trains constantly to maintain his fighting skills, working out at least three times a day.

His flashy combat style, good looks, and love of battle have earned him the nickname "MTV warrior” from his teammate Feral. Although he believes words are the resort of the weak, Shatterstar shows an occasional glimmer of humor, especially when carving up an adversary. But he is at his core a serious, private person, and can get tired of the snappy patter of Boom-Boom, Feral, and Domino.

Shatterstar is still unfamiliar with some English phrases, especially units of time and measurement. When he talks, he speaks precisely, and rarely uses slang terms. He sometimes refers to foes by derisive names from his own dimension, such as “Mojo Kisser.”


History:
Shatterstar was created in a dimension ruled by Mojo V—the same reality that Longshot came from, but 100 years in our future. He was bio-engineered as the ultimate warrior and combat-performer, but eventually joined the Cadre Alliance, a rebellion against Mojo V’s tyranny. Shatterstar has fought all his life: first as a performer, later as a Blood Warrior of the Alliance, becoming their greatest warrior.

Hoping to get help from the legendary X-Men, the Cadre Alliance sent Shatterstar into the past, hotly pursued by Mojo V’s warriors. Instead of the X-Men, he found the New Mutants (soon to be XForce) and fought with them against his pursuers. After the battle, he became a founding member of X-Force. In return for a promise of later help in his war, he agreed to make their struggle his own. Since then, Shatterstar has fought valiantly alongside his new teammates, fighting a variety of foes including the Mutant Liberation Force, Harness, Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy, and the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
