David Haller

**David Charles Haller** (*Legion*) is the son of Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller, who later became the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom. Charles and Gabrielle had an affair in Israel nearly two decades ago, and Charles was unaware when he left Israel that she was pregnant with his son. Charles didn't learn that he was David's father until some time after the founding of the New Mutants.

When David was living in Paris with his mother, their home was invaded by a terrorist assassination team out to kill every Israeli they could find there. They murdered David's step-father before his eyes. David's terror catalyzed his latent psychic powers, which he used to incinerate the brains of the assassins. However, as he did so, he found himself making telepathic contact with each of his victims, thus experiencing their thoughts and emotions as they died. The horror of this traumatized the gentle, loving David, forcing him into a catatonic state.

## Powers

**Spontaneous Mutations:** David is an Omega-Level mutant with the ability to create spontaneous mutations with varying attributes. Due to either his immense powers, mental instability, or a combination of the two, David creates a new persona to govern each one of these new mutations. He stated that he has in his mind "200 Omega-level split personalities". Rogue stated that, while she was inside David, she was connected to thousands of types of powers, and there were more "being born" all the time.

* An unknown personality is able to teleport itself and others by unknown means and with unknown limits. David used this ability in London to help him and the X-Men escape Chain's army.
* An unknown personality appears to be capable of mass mind control though on a smaller scale with a range of a few yards and a limit of three to five victims. The limits of this power have not been tested; it was used by David in London while battling Chain's army.
* An unknown personality has the ability which David calls "astral harpoon projection". This ability seem not to leave any physical repercussions but leaves its victims in a cataleptic and convulsive state, as if hit with a surge of lightning.

## Weaknesses

**Dissociative Identity Disorder:** David suffers from dissociative identity disorder. It was triggered after the death of his step-father; his powers allowed him to hear and feel the thoughts and feelings of the people killed around him. This led to the creation of, at first, three personalities, each with a distinct psychic power. This later expanded to an unnamed number of personalities, possibly thousands, each with a unique power.
