Name: Wesley Miles
Nickname: Wes
Age: 23
Appearance: Wesley has white hair, striking yellow eyes, and pale skin. He has a tall stature, albeit a bit slim like his twin. His clothing consists of a white v-neck undershirt with a brown vest. Above these is a blue hooded sweater, frost collecting around the ring of the collar, and trousers bound with lighter material starting from the knee down to the rather tattered and frayed bottom. He wears normal footwear. His clothes are made of reinforced tri-polymer like Ronald’s, with the only difference being that his were made to endure lower temperatures.
Personality: It is presumed that Wesley was an innocent, carefree child before he manifested his powers and learned about the fate of their parents. Afterwards he grew up alone in darkness and as a result became antisocial, twisted, demented and manipulative. He is obsessed with his brother’s death and several other plans of his to the point of being unstable. As noted by Ronald, he has set a mission of eradicating anything that stands in his way. He instills tremendous terror to his surroundings and everyone he encounters while utilizing his powers. He is utterly ruthless, having little to no regard for human life, murdering anyone, such as the police officer he spared after murdering a S.W.A.T. team he baited. He is also willing to do anything to achieve his goals, as he killed many people to find the whereabouts of a device he was searching for. Wesley can be horribly sadistic, enjoying the fear and terror in his helpless prey with obvious and somewhat animalistic satisfaction. His sense of humor is extremely vile. Some question if he is still human, and Ronald says he might be. This was indeed proven true when he attempted to kill Ronald, but spared him for the plea of Cassie, their common childhood friend. Despite originally being classified as a psychopath, Wesley had moments where he fit more the description of a sociopath. This is based on his ability to form emotional attachments to those around him, perverse and twisted though they may be.
Biography: Ronald and Wesley Miles were born as normal twins to Irish parents, however their birth itself wasn’t a normal one. Upon their birth, they immediately established their connections with their respective energy fields. This released a strong wave of energy, killing everybody inside the delivery room. As the two grew up in an orphanage, they both slowly became aware of their powers. Ronald was the first one to consciously access them, at the age of 6. Wesley accessed his a year later when they were 7. As years passed and the twins grew up Ronald turned into a teenager that was in the center of a crowd, whereas Wesley was excluded from it. This eventually formed some sort of disdain within Wesley, as he deemed his twin’s comfort around other people disturbing. After turning 16, the twins separated for the first time when Wesley left the orphanage to live on his own. Ronald followed his twin’s footsteps and did the same. After their departure, Wesley grew into a darker person. His detachment from emotions, made him often come off as unpleasant, fearsome, and ruthless. He eventually blamed Ronald for the death of their parents and started to seek revenge. He is currently obsessed with becoming the only twin to be alive.
Special Ability: The Avalanche
Wesley’s powers come from the Avalanche; a mysterious energy field that he first accessed when he was a child. It altered his DNA to override his hypothalamus and likewise augmented his physiology, obtaining a lean-built frame to properly handle his new abilities. As he began accessing more of his true capacities, Wesley soon realized that he could use the Avalanche to gain more advanced powers.
- Cyrokinesis: Wesley can use his mutant ability to control moisture such as to freeze any air moisture into super-hard ice. This ice can be formed into any object of his choosing: the only limitation is his own imagination. He does not have to hold the ice physically with his hands in order to shape it. Apparently he can simply direct the waves of coldness he projects in certain ways so as to create ice in the shape he desires. In the past, Wesley has formed ice-ladders, ice-slides, ice-shields, ice-bats and other constructs of ice. Wesley has created constructs of ice so powerful that he was able to easily encase and contain the likes of strength-enhanced mutants with them being unable to break out of it for quite some time. On at least one occasion, he has even been shown to make it snow or cause a blizzard. Wesley is able to form a rising column of ice beneath his feet, capable of lifting him off the ground. The tensile strength of the column is determined by its thickness, and its steadiness by how well it has been braced. A well-braced and regular column, 6 feet in diameter at its base, is able to support his weight without toppling for about 85 feet in a 40-mile per hour wind. By forming long ice-ramps connected either to his ice-column or to an existing structure like a building or a bridge, Wesley is able to travel above the ground by sliding down the ramp he is creating. Unless he creates supports periodically, the ramp will crack beneath him, unable to support their combined weight. Wesley although has shown that he is not limited to creating constructs and can fly on his own with his control over moisture.
- Hydrokinesis: Wesley can use surrounding moisture to augment himself, allowing him to travel within large bodies of water very quickly. He accomplishes this by breaking himself down to his base levels and reforming at the destination. He is able to convert his body to gigantic proportions as well, through absorption of a body of water or water vapor in the air. One side effect of this is he gains superhuman strength to match his superhuman size. Wherever there is any moisture, Wesley is a threat. He has demonstrated the ability to be transformed into nothing more than water vapor, yet remain conscious and retain the use of his powers. His conscious control of his abilities has allowed him to exist simultaneously in two places at once.
- Ice Clone Generation: Wesley can generate ice clones of himself. It is unknown how many ice clones he can create at once.
- Molecular Moisture Conversion: Wesley has the ability to transform organic matter, such as a human body, to organic ice and back again. With this, it is possible for him to project his consciousness through moisture molecules and reform his body at the destination. Though he has only done this to himself, he does possess the potential, to preform the feat with passengers.
- Molecular Moisture Inversion: Wesley can freeze water molecules turning them into solid ice.
- Organic-Ice Form: Wesley is able to not only cover his body with ice, but to actually become organic ice. Though the appearance is similar, Wesley is now actually translucent in his ice form. Wesley is virtually indestructible in this form, allowing him to reform his body should it become shattered. He has been incinerated while in human form, and was able to rebuild himself. In his ice form, he is able to use the moisture in the air to form spikes, shields and attach other extra appendages to his body. Due to the amount of water on Earth, Wesley has a virtually unlimited supply of moisture since it is always present in the surrounding air or environment. Even desert air has sufficient moisture content for him to make temporary practical use of; however, the mental effort needed to employ his mutant power under these circumstances could eventually fatigue him and render his freezing ability temporarily dysfunctional.
- Sharing the Avalanche: Wesley can allow his allies to access his powers, granting them a temporary immunity to colds. This process, however, can't last any longer than two minutes.
- Thermal Vision: Wesley can see beings due to the heat signature that others give off, because of the absence of heat around him.
- Thermokinesis: Wesley is a mutant with the superhuman ability to lower his external and internal body temperature, projecting intense coldness from his body. Like any normal human being's, the nerve centers for regulating Wesley’s body temperature are found in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. However, Wesley can mentally override his hypothalamus to allow his body temperature to be lowered by an unknown internal mechanism. This ability converts the latent thermal energies in and around his body into an unknown form of energy that is efficiently dissipated. A related mutation has rendered his body tissues unaffected by sub-zero temperatures. Wesley can consciously, immediately lower his body temperature from its normal 37 Celsius to absolute zero (The point where all molecular motion stops.) and lower within the span of a few tenths of a second. Wesley’s power to generate cold is so great, he was able to stop a small nuclear explosion. As his body temperature falls, the surrounding moisture in the air that is in contact with him is similarly lowered. Just as condensed moisture forms frost, this moisture forms an icy covering which encompasses his entire body. It also obscures his facial features. When Wesley first began to completely lower his body temperature, this covering took on a more snow-like appearance. But as he learned to increase the severity of his coldness, the covering assumed the consistency of crystalline ice that it has today. This ice constantly cracks with any movement of his body, and immediately reforms. (Hence, there is a cracking sound when Wesley, covered with ice, moves.) Through practice, Wesley has learned to control the intensity of his coldness, and he can selectively lower the temperature of isolated parts of his body.
