Mutant Circuits
Mutant Circuits are defined by Professor X and Magneto as using the powers and abilities of two or more mutants in unison.[1] Also considered to be a part of a new age of Mutant Technology, in the Krakoan Era.[2]
Mutant Circuits have existed in history from some of the earliest examples being the Fastball Special. As Colossus used his superhuman strength to propel Wolverine through the air, to give his Adamantium claws more brute force behind his slices, or to reach great distances to attack faster.[3]
Mutants using teamwork to achieve certain goals have become more popular since then, more so since the establishment of the nation of Krakoa. Although many mutants have embraced this form of Mutant Technology, others such as those who hail from Arakko or even Amenth, oppose the use of Mutant Circuits due to them considering it an insult to not accomplish their own goals by themselves.
Some self contained Mutant Circuits have occurred with mutants who have mimicked or absorbed multiple mutant powers at once, and combined those awesome powers, such as Calvin Rankin, Rogue, and Hope Summers.[4] Others included artificially created mutants housing multiple powers from other mutants (see Chimeras for more examples of self contained Mutant Circuits).
Notable Mutant Circuits
- Five: Though they can accomplish multiple things, the circuit is notably known for resurrecting deceased mutants.
- Fastball Special: A term originally referring to Colossus throwing Wolverine, it has been used by multiple mutants (and non-mutants); one with super-strength, and another to use as a projectile (e.g.: She Hulk[citation needed] and Spider-Man[citation needed] / Swordsman[citation needed] / Wolverine[citation needed], Warparth and X-23[citation needed]).
- Stepford Cuckoos: A telepathic hive mind used to drastically surpass a multitude of singular psychic feats, original created by Sublime and the Weapon Plus Program.[5][6][7]
- The Six: A circuit of mutants used to harvest Mysterium from the White Hot Room.
- The Lights: Some mutants activated after M-Day (before the Phoenix and The Scarlet Witch rebirthed the mutant race) were connected to Hope Summers.
Notes
- Some Mutant Circuits require a mutant with the power to unify or enhance the whole circuit to achieve certain effects, such as Fabian Cortez or Khora with their use in the Six.
