Here are you X-Cell X-Men, this is one awesome team! I wouls definitly pick up a title based on the X-Cell idea with this roster. They could even call it X-Cell, thanks Mega for all your insight.
Cannonball
Real Name: Samuel Zachery (Jackson?) Guthrie
Height: 6'
Weight: 150 lbs
Hair color: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Current Status: X-Men
Nationality: American
Powers: generate thermochemical energy as a blast field, which can act as propulsion, bio-kinetic blasts, a protective force shield, and a containment field around his opponent, or absorb kinetic energy to create shockwaves or supercharge the force behind his punches. Cannonball is also supposedly an External, an immortal mutant,
Havok
Real Name: Alexander Summers
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Hair color: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Current Status: Captain of the Starjammers
Nationality: American
Powers: absorb cosmic energy, such as starlight, x-rays, and gamma rays, then metabolize them into plasma wave discharges that can be used for concussive impact or to superheat and destroy objects. Havok absorbs ambient stellar energy and reemits it as a focused plasma blast strong enough to melt steel or fry a person, although he can finely tune it to cause little or no damage. Alex has at times required a containment suit to keep all the energy from constantly discharging. He is immune to his brother Cyclops' power, and vice versa.
Jubilee
Real Name: Jubilation Lee
Height: 5‘1”
Weight: 96 lbs.
Hair color: Black
Eyes: Blue or Brown (it switches often!)
Nationality: Chinese American
Current Status: Wondra
Powers: Jubilee generates and controlls guided plasma projectiles ("pafs") that explode on command. Most of the time they are small, but when she's stressed or scared, she can cause major damage. She has the unrealized potential to detonate matter on the sub-atomic level.
Marvel Girl
Real Name: Rachel Anne Summers
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 125 lbs.
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Current Status: Starjammers
Nationality: American (Alternate Future)
Powers: telepath able to read minds, project thoughts, send out her astral form, and manipulate thoughts to control minds, cast illusions, and alter memories, psychokinetic able to lift, direct, and manipulate physical objects, project psionic force blasts, generate force fields, and fly, project the consciousnesses of herself and other humans through the fabric of time and space. Rachel inherited all of her mother's telepathy and telekinesis. She also has her own mutant power, the ability to project her own or someone else's astral self through time, (as she did to Kate Pryde, an alternate future version of Shadowcat, whose astral self was sent back to our time to warn the X-Men of the "Days of Future Past," a dark future that would occur if Senator Robert Kelly were to be assassinated). All of these powers were amplified tremendously when the Phoenix Force merged with her while she was astrally projected back to the present.
Multiple Man
Real Name: James Arthur ("Jamie") Madrox
Height: 5‘11“
Weight: 155 lbs.
Hair color: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Current Status: X-Factor Investigations (M - may be carrying his child)
Nationality: American
Powers: Madrox duplicates himself upon impact. He has enough control that he can create a "dupe" by clapping, or stick a finger under a door and create a dupe on the other side. He can also survive the death of a dupe, e.g. the one that died from the Legacy Virus. Madrox's duplicates tend to manifest one particular aspect of his personality very strongly, like caution, machismo, or adventurousness, and the aspect increases in strength the longer the dupes remain apart from the original.
Nightcrawler
Real Name: Kurt Wagner
Height: 5'9”
Weight: 170 lbs.
Hair color: Indigo
Eyes: Yellow, with no visible pupils
Current Status: X-Factor Investigations
Nationality: German
Powers: peak human agility and reflexes, prehensile tail, cling to any surface, access to the Brimstone Dimension allows teleportation and a light-sapping field that combines with his indigo fur to enable him to blend in with shadows, razor-edged fencing foils. Nightcrawler has blue fur, yellow eyes, fangs and a prehensile tail. He has three fingers and toes on each appendage and can stick to walls. He is a line-of-sight teleporter and is also a master swordsman and acrobat (his boyhood - and adult - idol is Errol Flynn). His teleportation, which smells of brimstone and sulfur and makes his signature "BAMF!" noise, takes him through another dimension, although he only actually saw it once. Generally, though, his teleportation is instantaneous. The opening to the dimension travels with Kurt at all times, distorting light and leaving him in shadow when it's light out, and rendering him nearly invisible when he's in shadow. He also has an infallible spatial awareness, which is necessary for him to teleport, because if he does not judge distances accurately, he could end up teleporting into solid matter, which could cripple or kill him. As a result, Kurt generally only 'ports to places that he can see, or to those that he knows very well, like his room in the Mansion.
Shadowcat
Real Name: Katherine (Kitty) Pryde
Height: 5'6”
Weight: 110 lbs.
Hair color: Brown
Eyes: Hazel
Curent Status: X-Men
Nationality: American
Powers: Kitty passes the molecules of her body through matter, rendering her insubstantial. This ability also allows her to "walk on air," and even "detach" herself from Earth's gravity and appear to fly off, as she stays stationary while the Earth rotates at up to 1,000 miles per hour. She can phase other people and objects along with herself, as well as only part of an object. Her phasing through any electronic equipment causes it to short-circuit. She has refined this ability to sometimes allow her to cut off a person's nervous system (which is electrical in nature). Shadowcat is also a fully-trained ninja, thanks to Ogun, and is a computer and electronic hardware whiz.
Psylocke
Real Name: Elizabeth Gloriana "Betsy" Braddock
Height: 5‘ 11“
Weight: 155 lbs.
Hair color: Naturally black, either dyed or permanently altered purple
Eyes: Brown
Nationality: British (only the body is Japanese)
Powers & history: psychic mind altered to produce telekinetic energies, allowing her to levitate and manipulate matter with her mind, propel herself through the air, project protective force screens, and generate focused energy blades that can sever the bonds between molecules and disrupt neural relays; immunity to all forms of telepathy. Psylocke was born a powerful telepath, a psycho-blaster with the ability to read minds, though her powers were dormant until her teen years. It is slightly unclear whether she is in fact a mutant, or whether her abilities stem from the fact that her father was one of the Captain Britains from Otherworld, a realm run by Merlin (and then by Roma) in which science and magic are both at advanced levels. After college she became a charter pilot. Later, she became an international fashion model, which doubled as a cover for her position as an agent for the British intelligence team called S.T.R.I.K.E. However, after going through the Siege Perilous Psylocke was used by the Hand and Lord Nyoirin, an Asian crimelord, to reassemble the mind of his assassin, Kwannon, who had been injured in a fall. Matsu'o Tsurayaba, Kwannon's lover, cut a deal with the time-dancer Spiral and Betsy's mind entered Kwannon's body. Her mind was slightly merged with Kwannon's and, with the help of Spiral's Body Shoppe, their bodies were made genetically identical. "Psylocke" was given Kwannon's Asian body and martial arts training. At that point, she manifested her power in the form of a psychic knife that she would plunge into an opponent's head to knock them out. In reality, there was only a part (albeit the majority) of Betsy in Kwannon's body, believing herself to be Psylocke. When the remainder of Betsy (including her body) returned as Revanche (who was really Kwannon) and subsequently died from the Legacy Virus, Revanche returned the rest of Betsy's mind and power to Psylocke and took the missing parts of Kwannon into herself. Months later, the Shadow King tricked Psylocke into initiating a telepathic shockwave that disabled telepaths all over the world, leaving the King in command of the astral plane. Although her astral form was destroyed, Betsy emerged in a new "shadow form" that was certainly a by-product of her exposure to the Crimson Dawn. Invisible to the Shadow King, Betsy was then able to telepathically contain the Shadow King's core, but at a great cost: to ensure that the Shadow King would never be able to escape, Psylocke was forced to permanently shut down her telepathy. Shortly afterwards, Psylocke gained telekinetic power from Phoenix, and no longer had her telepathy. She was powerful enough to move giant beams and fly, but she still had control and stamina problems. She also seemed to have lost the ability to teleport between shadows. During the battle with the saurian Hauk'ka in the Savage Land, she discovered that her telekinesis was more powerful and she was immune to telepathic attacks. When the Scarlet Witch unleashed a reality warp that re-wrote history, Betsy remained unaffected and was able to maintain Rachel's status as well. The women found themselves in the White Hot Room (the core of the Phoenix Force), where Jamie told them they had to help set the world right. Strangely, Jamie's influence did not help the girls from being co-opted into the reality warp of the House of M when they returned to Earth. She was slightly injured when the X-Men intervened in the Shi'ar massacre of the Grey family. She also discovered that she could not be possessed in any way. Then Psylocke saw Jamie for real, but although he attacked the X-Men, he restored them to health and begged them to stop his former friends, who were trying to summon the First Forsaken, the force of nature opposed to the Phoenix. During the ceremony Betsy disrupted the spell with iron and her power, and they were all sucked into a heavenly paradise. The First Forsaken offered this solace to Jamie's friends, but Betsy realized that only the four summoners of the Forsaken would be spared, and the rest of Earth would be frozen in time or destroyed. Being immune to telepathic influence, she stabbed her TK sword into the Forsaken's mind, freeing her teammates and Jamie to act. Jamie, however, refused to let Betsy stay behind and sent her home with the others via a portal. Following a quick detour to Africa to help Storm depose her warlord uncle, Betsy visited Brian in England. While there, the alternate reality Charles Xavier recently captured by Excalibur woke from his coma and asked for her by name. She and Excalibur checked him out at Darkmoor, where the Shadow King revealed his presence to her, having been freed from the Astral Plane during House of M. Fortunately, Betsy's immunity to telepathy allowed her to fight the Shadow King, and she used her TK to induce a stroke in Dark Xavier, forcing the Shadow King out of his mind, where she stabbed him. Since Xavier and the Shadow King had been in alternate timelines, a sort of portal opened and Betsy disappeared. She reappeared in the Crystal Palace, the home base of the reality-jumping team, the Exiles, apparently a selection by the base's computers for a warrior compatible with the team's needs. However, it's probable that Roma had something to do with Betsy's arrival. Regardless, she first encountered Sabretooth (the heroic version from the Age of Apocalypse) and immediately attacked. Creed defended himself and had a great time, but team "dispatcher" Heather Hudson found that she couldn't see the new arrival with any scanners. Finally Betsy realized that Sabretooth wasn't out to kill her, and she joined the team. Strangely, she also found that she no longer had any cross-time counterparts.
Rogue
Real Name: Anna Marie (last name unknown)
Height: 5‘ 8“
Weight: 120 lbs.
Hair color: Brown with a White Stripe
Eyes: Green
Current Status: X-Men squad leader
Nationality: American
Powers: metabolize someone's total essence through physical contact, killing them while absorbing and duplicating their memories, skills and special powers, abilities absorbed from Sunfire let her produce an ionization effect that transforms matter into plasmetic solar fire, generate radiation shielding psi-field, and fly. Rogue's mutant power is to absorb the memories, abilities and physical characteristics of anyone with whom she comes into flesh-to-flesh contact. However, she has no control over this power, which first manifested when she kissed a childhood boyfriend named Cody, and drained his energy and mind. After her battle with Ms. Marvel, Rogue retained her opponent's powers of strength, flight, invulnerability, the ability to fly in space without protection, and a precognitive 7th sense, along with most of her psyche. Sometime after rejoining the main X-Men team at the Mansion, Rogue regained her powers. She previously had convinced Sage to use her catalyst ability to jump start Gambit's powers, so it seems possible that Sage may then have done the same for Rogue. However, she does not seem to have regained the abilities she got from Ms. Marvel. Sunfire then forced Rogue to take his remaining power to avenge his imminent death. Rogue was left with Sunfire's power, perhaps permanently.
Wolverine
Real Name: James Howlett
Height: 5’3”
Weight: 295 lbs.
Hair color: Black
Eyes: Brown
Current Status: X-Men, New Avengers, "ten places at once"
Nationality: Canadian
Powers: enhanced strength, speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes, hyper-keen senses, healing factor, adamantium skeleton and retractable claws. Wolverine has a healing factor that can heal virtually any wound or disease, and also slows his aging. He also has retractable bone claws that extrude from his forearms. His bones and claws are bonded with adamantium, rendering them unbreakable. Finally, Wolverine has enhanced senses or sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. He can file scents in his memory and use them to track other beings from even the slightest traces, and can see and hear things much fainter and from much farther away than normal people. And he's the best there is at what he does.
