Jonothon Starsmore

## Background

### 1991 - 2005: Jonothon Starsmore

Jonothon Starsmore was raised solely by his father in the city of London. After his mom died giving birth, his father doted upon his son though Jono never realized it was for his own twisted reasons. Unknown to Jono, him & his father were members of the Clan Akkaba, a cult composed of Apocalypse & his blood descendants.

After discovering this, Jono decided to go away to boarding school to create some distance between him & the rest of his family. He eventually started a relationship with his classmate Gayle Edgerton, after having a longtime crush on the girl. When Valentine's Day came up, Jono begged his roommate to let him get the room to himself for the night so that he could do something special for his girlfriend. When he agreed, Jono decorated the whole room with balloons & roses to get ready for Gayle. After the two went to a romantic dinner, they came back to Jono's room for alone time. The two began kissing but as Gayle put her hand on his chest, she instantly pulled back to the extreme heat he body suddenly possessed. Realizing something was wrong, Jono yelled for her to get out. She kept trying to talk to him but he just kept telling her to leave. Not listening, she would end up paralyzed when Jono's powers cause an explosion that would destroyed much of his chest & lower face.

His manifestation triggered Cerebro to identify him as a mutant & he was sent an invitation to join Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Not feeling safe at school & not wanting to return home, he immediately went to the airport & caught a flight to Salem Center.

	+ ***Biokinetic Flame*:** He constantly created & unleashed psionic charges of energy that could strike with volatile force. This energy could be projected as a blast from his chest, a series of guided streams that struck specific targets, or as a massive eruption striking in all directions. Because his flames are psionic in nature, they are not affected by conditions that would affect an actual flame (i.e. lack of oxygen, water, etc.)
	+ ***Projection Telepathy*:** He can use his powers to "speak" inside the minds of those close to him. However, he couldn't read minds, probe thoughts, or see things outside his line of sight. He can also create psionic illusions.
