The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

HISTORY – At the age of 5 the last thing young Sam Johnson would have expected was being abducted- but as a young mutant with potential for power abuse that’s exactly what happened. T.A.T.M.H decided Sam would make an excellent addition to their collection of super soldiers bent on “keeping the balance” but by age 18 Sam had other plans.
Making his way to New York Sam has since become a member of the x-men surviving the awful horrors of the mutant concentrations camps to come out on top with his fellow mutants. A kind goofy guy Sam is cool and collected… until you threaten someone he cares about…
POWERS Sam’s main ability is to create and control ice by decreasing the temperature around him and in him. Sam has become very creative using his abilities. Thus form different ways to benefit his life. Mainly in dangerous situations.
1. Can form a full body suit made of ice giving him a sturdy shield that protects him from things such as some physical attacks. It also protects him from bullets, but not the large impact ones. It also somewhat increases strength. As well as speed (instead of running he skates/slides)
2. Another usefully thing Sam has become used to is creating various objects from ice. Most of the time he creates swords, giving him the name Cold Steel.
3. Sam can control and create ice up to 20 feet around him. And go as cold as -320 degrees, he can create a mist affect making it hard for his enemies to see.
4. Sam’s newest ability consists of him manipulating the air around him. He can compact and freeze them. By doing this he can create anywhere from 1 to 7 Ice Soldiers, just think of them as robots that cant think for themselves. Sam Subconsciously controls everything they do. So if Sam was trying to lift something and it was to heavy for him to lift, they would go and help them. Using verbal commands, or thinking very hard Sam can direct them.
POSTS TO SEE:
Hard Times (FP) – Taking place in the Future Plot Sam is surprised to wake up and find himself in a prison. After hearing about his parents death it seem Sam gets a little intoxicated…
Are you my Daddy? (FP) – An interesting post about ‘Sammy’ arriving at the Mansion. Thankfully he’s met by a very kind and welcoming Lee…
Ice with a mind of it’s own – Sam and Streak meet up to discuss Sam’s progress in the danger room. The two notice something awfully interesting about Sam’s training involving his blind spot and a few extra limbs that shouldn’t be there….
The Things that Happen in Banks – What starts out as a boring trip to the bank quickly turns into a holdup for poor Sam! Could it be an encounter with someone not affected by a mutants powers perhaps?
You know, Sam, those first two threads you've got listed don't make you out to be a stellar guy.
Seriously, though, you're awesome, and I've really enjoyed watching both your character and writing style evolve as you've been with us. Keep it up, ice man, keep it up.
*gives you a brand new bottle of Attract-A-Girl brand cologne* *...suspects that you liberally apply it already*
