==Powers and Abilities==
Pariah Effect: Tag had a very unusual psionic ability. He was capable of tagging a person, making that person become "it". When he touched someone, he used a form of telepathy that caused them to emit a psionic signal, making them a target for others to run away from or to run toward. He could choose the number of poeople who would be affected by this strange "tag" game.
Once, during a training session, he tagged Hellion of his squad, making the New Mutants squad run away from him while leaving his teammates unaffected.
The effect stopped when the victim(s) reached a distance of about 100 feet or so. This "tag" game could also work the opposite way, making people want to run toward the person he tagged and crumbling all together on top of the person who was tagged.
The person tagged was not affected by his powers, but all the others that he chose were compelled to do so without choice and usually they were fully aware of what was happening but were not able to control themselves. His powers also worked in other ways like tagging a person to run away from himself if he desired him to do so. In this manner, he tagged a person and they just started to run away with no control whatsoever, and he did not even know why. When he touched someone, he always said, "you're it!"
