Name: Brandon (T'Chatta)
Nicknames: Cub, Thunder Cat (he doesn't understand that one)
Codename: Panther
Age: 17 (18 in a couple months)
Gender: Male
Appearance: He looks like a humanoid black panther and stands at about 6' not including his ears. His hands are completely covered in fur except for the pad like skin on his palms and fingers that feel like an animals paw. His feet are digitigrade with paw pads. He doesn't have fingernails or toenails, but instead sharp claws sheathed inside his fingers and toes. The rest of his body is human shaped and covered in black fur with a three foot long tail coming from the base of this spine. His head looks exactly like a real black panther with a short feline muzzle, golden yellow slitted eyes, a pair of black cat ears on top his head, and many sharp teeth in his mouth. He is muscular from training for most of his life, but his muscles seem more compact and not noticeable under the fur at first glance.
Most of his clothes are different shades of blue, black, and gray. His shirts are generally short sleeve or sleeveless and most of the time he's wearing a pair of jeans or shorts. He is willing to wear anything in dark colors or blue and wears a hooded jacket when he's around non-mutants.
His uniform are just a pair black pants that stop mid-calf and a black X insignia with a red background on the front of his pants.
Personality: Brandon is usually very friendly and become protective of those he cares about, but recently he his attitude took a shift and he seems more withdrawn. Sometimes he can be sarcastic and tends to have an odd sense of humor. He seems to have lost his naivety and shows more of his intelligence, though there are still some things he isn't use to.
History: Brandon is a second generation mutant, meaning his mother was a mutant and passed it on to him. He was born a mutant and in his hybrid form that he has today, but his mother loved him anyway and didn't mind his appearance since she was a mutant too. Her abilities were much easier to hide than his and she was very protective of him. For the first two years of his life all he seen of the outside world was from his bedroom window and his backyard, which had a fence to high for him to see out or anyone to see in.
Several months after his second birthday some kind of secret mutant research organization kidnapped him from his home faked his death so that his mother wouldn't look for him. They planned to turn the young mutant into a weapon. When Brandon was twelve his mutant gene became more active and he gained the additional abilities. He was able to shift into a human form and an animal form, he also gained several other abilities.
Barely a month after Brandon gained his shifting ability he lost it. Shortly after his mutant gene became more active the scientists of the organization decided to experiment on him and resulted in him loosing his ability to change while enhancing his others. An odd side effect was that he only needs one-third his normal amount of sleep.
He also received combat training and a decent education from the group since a dumb weapon that couldn't defend itself was useless to them. The facility was discovered by the X-men after the Apocalypse incident and he was rescued while the scientists were given to the police, who later handed them over to SHIELD. Since he doesn't know much about his past, Brandon is trying to adjust to his new life and move on.
Over the last year Brandon has grown more with his freedom. He made contact with his mother and brother shortly after learning of his heritage. He went to his home land for three months and returned feeling that he would be of more use with the other students than back home, though he did returned with a gift from his brother. With passing the required tests he knew that he could have gone where he wished, but decided to stay and aid the new team.
Power: Human/black panther hybrid base/permanent form, enhanced senses(smell, sight, hearing), superhuman agility and balance, night-vision, peak human strength (lift two to three times body weight and jump much higher than humans), his claws are strong enough to pierce concrete and some metals, his fur allows him to blend into shadows easily, and can climb nearly any vertical surface with his claws.
Power related weaknesses: His biggest weaknesses are his senses. A bright light can leave him blind from minutes to days if he is using his night-vision. High pitch sounds are very painful to his ears and can immobilizes him.. Sense of smell makes him sensitive to strong odors. His climbing ability is his most underdeveloped power and doesn't work on glass and walls coated with slippery substances.
Fighting style: A couple forms of martial arts from his training, but he mixed what learned to make his own style because of his abilities. Has a style where he fights with his claws and one he fights without them. He also has some weapons training.
Pets (if any): None
Anything else: His mother named him Brandon as he was born in America, but his real is T'Chatta. His mother is Ramonda and his father is T'Chaka, the King and Queen of Wakanda. He is actually a prince of Wakanda, but neither he nor his half-brother T'Challa know that. Few know of his heritage or why he was gone for a month, though a couple of his teachers and Dany were informed. Technically as he was trained as an assassin he has killed before and he has regrets, but he doesn't blame himself for his deeds as it was follow orders or he and his targets would be tortured before they kill his target.
