Marvel Comics/Sage

**Sage** is a mutant who grew up in a war-torn Balkan country. After saving Professor X when he was inured in battle, sh ewas recruited into the X-Men.

## Powers and Abilities

**Computer Mind:** Sage is a mutant with astonishingly advanced intellectual capabilities forged from a mind that works in the same way as a super-computer would.

* **Eidetic Memory:** Sage perfectly remembers everything she experiences. She can instantaneously retrieve every memory and any information she has ever perceived. She can also perfectly execute any skill she has had a single lesson in without the need for practice.
* **Enhanced Multitasking:** Sage is able to perform multiple tasks at once by allocating a partition of her brain to each task. For example, Sage can use her mind to replay a movie she had watched previously, play a game of internet chess, and focus on battling an opponent without any one task distracting her from another.

**Genetic Detection:** Sage can perceive the DNA within cells, whether living or dead, within close range of herself. Combined with her innate analytical abilities, this allows her to determine relationships between people and to understand a person's current and potential abilities.

**Power Augmentation:** After analyzing the DNA of another mutant, Sage is able to unleash latent mutant powers or enhance existing ones. The process is irreversible and can often result in unpredictable side effects. She can also restore mutant abilities lost due to injury.

**Biokinesis:** Sage has complete control over her personal physiology. She once consciously used her immune system to purge herself to mind controlling nanites.

* **Shapeshifting (latent):** Her alternate self, Diane Fox, can alter her physical appearance to accomodate her own character.

**Telepathy:** Trained by Professor X, Sage has learned a great degree of telepathic talents that include detecting minds, reading and projecting thoughts, astral projecting, casting realistic mental illusions, and a level of psionic defense that is unique to herself.

* **Psychic Shields:** Sage is capable of creating her own psionic protection against outside mental influence. By erecting a psionic "firewall", she is able to effectively protect herself from direct mental attacks, probes, and detection of the mental variety while reflecting any offensive mental action back at her attacker. The firewall is effective in both directions, nearly eliminating her own psionic abilities while active.
* **Astral Projection**
* **Illusion Casting**

**Flight (latent):** While under the influence of her alternate personality, Sage could fly and carry another person aloft while doing so.

**Superhuman Strength (latent):** Sage's alternate personality also demonstrated superhumanly levels of strength. She was easily able to shatter iron manacles and sending an opponent flying with a single punch.

### Former Powers

**Holographic Physiology:** While she was merged with the Crystal Palace, she had a solid, holographic body that could teleport anywhere within the confines of the structure, and she remained able to leave the palace to join the Exiles.

* **Teleportation**

**Animal Manipulation/Chlorokinesis:** When she walked the grounds of the recreational rooms of the palace, all manner of flora and fauna appeared.

**Hologram Projection:** She could create holographic opponents for her team to train against.
