Known Powers:
Transmutation: Amazing. Taki possesses the mutant ability to transmute metal, plastic, glass, and rubber into any shape or form that he can conceive with this ability. Anything that Taki creates has Power Rank statistics: a gun would do Power Rank Force or Energy damage, a helicopter would have Power Rank Air Speed. Taki cannot create objects out of thin air: he must have something to work with. Normally he uses his own body for transmutations, but he can alter other objects. The only limitation his transformations have is that energy must be supplied. The power source in his wheelchair only had enough power to provide the equivalent of Good lifting strength. Other objects will have Strength equal to their own weight. Taki can create generators that refocus energy from other sources, such as the mutant Boom-Boom's Time Bombs. He can heal damage to himself by merging external metal into his being.
Techno-organic Virus: Taki was infected by the techno-organic virus by N'astirh, who was in turn infected by S'ym. He can convert the DNA structure of victims into additional Health (the amount gained per touch is subject to Judge’s discretion). He performs this as FEAT vs. Incredible intensity. Creatures of organic metals, such as Colossus, are immune to this power.
Phasing: In techno-organic form, Taki can phase with Amazing rank intensity, typically to allow missiles to pass through him.
Shape-Change: Due to the metal content of his body, Taki can change is form into anything that he can think of, and, essentially, provide himself with any capability of up to his Psyche rank in strength.
Computer Link: Taki has the Incredible ability to control any computer.
Weakness:
Dyslexia: Taki suffers from dyslexia, but he has gotten it under control to a point that he needs a Yellow Reason FEAT to read, and a Yellow Reason FEAT to write.
Talents:
Physics, Computers, Electronics, and Repair/Tinkering skills plus skills at constructing vehicles of any sort, and receives a + 1CS there as well
Contacts:
Warlock (Douglock)
X-Calibre
Artie Maddicks
Leech
Role-Playing Notes:
Taki is striving to maintain his humanity and human compassion. When pressed he may resort to shocking actions.
History:
Taki is the son of Japanese-American citizens who were killed in an automobile accident when he was about six. That same accident cost him the use of his legs. An uncle took him in, but viewed him as a burden and shipped him off to St. Simons Academy for Pre-Adolescents. That same uncle felt a responsibility to attempt to have Taki healed, but the efforts of various doctors proved useless.
At St. Simons, Taki
encountered the mutants Leech and Artie Maddicks who had been sent there by
X-Factor. At that time the demon N'astirh had been sent to Earth by S'ym
to find children of power. Leech and Artie were kidnapped and Taki's
mutant power manifested for the first time when he transformed his wheelchair
into a battlewagon to fight the goblins. His inexperience and Leech's
power-nullifying abilities allowed him to be defeated and the goblins escaped.
When the teachers
refused to believe his story, Taki called in the other youthful proteges of
X-Factor (Rusty, Skids, Boom-Boom, and Rictor). Together they traveled to
New York City but Taki was kidnapped by N'astirh's goblin minions. N'astirh
believed that Taki could create a computer that could handle the magic spells
which N'astirh needed to open a gateway between Limbo and Earth. Taki was
able to, but stalled for time until the X-Terminators could arrive and rescue
the babies that N'astirh was using to open a pentagram to Limbo.
In the final confrontation between N'astirh and S'ym, N'astirh allowed himself to be infected with the trans-mode virus which affected him in a way so that he could use Taki's computer whereas previously his demonic nature prevented him from doing so. In a last ditch effort Taki caused the computer he had created to revert back to normal. N'astirh, who was linked to the computer, was completely obliterated.
While doing this, Taki came into direct contact with the converted computer. His molding ability was subconsciously tapped to keep his transformation in check. So well, in fact, that Taki was unaware of any changes except that his molding ability had been weakened.
Months later, when looking for aliens that had been reported to be in the area, Taki's mutant ability was nullified by Leech. At this time, Taki was transformed by the trans-mode virus into a techno-organic being. This forced him to seek out the only other being that he knew that was techno-organic -- Warlock of the New Mutants. When the New Mutants moved to Muir Isle, Taki went with them.
