KNOWN POWERS

Skin Elongation: Skin is a mutant who has between four and six feet of extra skin on his body. Skin has control over this extra skin, and can extend the skin to grapple objects with RM (30) ability. When relaxed, Skin's extra skin sags and gives him the appearance of a melted candle, but Skin can make a power FEAT to contract the extra skin and pass for a normal human.  Skin's extra skin also grants GD (10) body armor.  When Skin falls unconscious, his skin starts to fall into a liquid state, and Angelo will appear to be melting. Why this phenomenon occurs has yet to be understood.

Role-Playing Notes

For Angelo Espinosa, growing up on the mean streets of Los Angeles was hard enough. Then, when his mutant power surfaced, he found himself with six extra feet of prehensile skin. Now a member of Generation X, Skin studies at the Massachusetts Academy in the hope he can gain control of his power and lead a normal life.

 

History

Little is known about Angelo Espinoza before he was captured by the Phalanx entity known as Harvest. The Phalanx were attempting to discover a method by which they could assimilate mutants. Angelo has claimed to be a gang member, and is reputed to have faked his own death to escape gang life in South Central Los Angeles.

Angelo and his fellow captives Husk, M, and Blink, were rescued from Harvest by the combined efforts of Banshee, Jubilee, Synch, the White Queen, and Sabretooth. Soon after his rescue, Angelo enrolled in the newly reopened Massachusetts Academy, and became a member of Generation X.

During this time, Angelo, now calling himself Skin, and Generation X member Chamber, encountered the vigilante known as the X-Cutioner. The X-Cutioner wanted to bring Skin into custody on suspicion that he might have killed Angelo Espinoza, not realizing that Angelo and Skin were one and the same. This prompted a trip by Angelo and Chamber to travel to Los Angeles, where a tombstone with Angelo's name on it exists. The truth of Angelo's explanation for faking his death remains to be seen.
