Group Affiliation: New Warriors
First Appearance: New Warriors v4 #3
History: There is very little that’s been revealed about Aja, other than he had a difficult upbringing and that he too, along with Kaz and Grace, had been a run away. Aja, as a child, had been sold to the black market adoptions out of Punjab. He noted that Park Avenue Bluebloods couldn’t decide whether they wanted slaves or sons and daughters, and suffered an excessive amount of abuse at the hands of those who handled him, at a young age, which included, but not limited to, burning him with cigarette butts. The police had not done anything to break up the ring, until Donyell Taylor came along, in the guise of Night Thrasher (II) and broke up the ring and rescued and recruited Aja, who, much like Kaz and Grace, Aja also had a knack for understanding computers and technology, though he specialized in networking.

Height: 5’7?
Weight: 170 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown

Powers: Aja has no powers that were revealed; but was recruited by Donyell Taylor because of her knowledge on technology and computer networks.

Real Name: Dwight Hubbard
Aliases: None
Identity: Known to Authorities
Occupation: Vigilante, Gang Member
Citizenship: American Citizen with a Criminal Record
Place of Birth: Manhattan, New York
Known Relatives: Chantal (Sister, Deceased)
Group Affiliation: Psionex, The Initiative: Maryland
First Appearance: New Warriors #4 (V1)
History: Dwight Hubbard, much like the name sake he would adopt with Genetech, was an impulsive person, often acting before thinking. As a gang banger, Dwight made a name for himself, before Genetech took him in and experimented on him, turning him into Impulse. As Impulse, he had enhanced strength, agility, endurance and super human speed. The armor he was equipped with also had blades that were tainted with a powerful toxin that could instantly paralyze and render people unconscious. Impulse was one of the original members of Psionex, and as such, had several encounters fighting the New Warriors.

When the New Warriors fought against Terrax, only Mathemanic and Impulse remained from Psionex to help the New Warriors. Mathemanic was put into a coma when Terrax shifted the earth and buried Mathemanic under stone. Terrax also, with a swift strike, snapped Impulse’s back. Mathemanic eventually awoke from his coma, but Impulse remained bound in the wheel chair.

Impulse’s luck would continue to go poorly, as a young boy found the mask of the original Asylum, who had led Psionex and took it to show his older sister, Dorrel. The woman, intended to keep it and wear it, showed it to her boyfriend, who happened to be an extremely violent gang banger, by the name of Joachim, who beat her and took it from her. While wearing the mask, Joachim could suddenly see ‘the darkness’ in people’s souls, and his violent behavior escalated as he and his gang members simply began gunning down innocent people. One of those innocent people was Chantal, Impulse’s younger sister. He had witnessed the whole thing.

Later at his home, Night Thrasher (I) and Rage approached him and offered to help him, but he declined, only to have the new Asylum, along with Pretty Persuasions, Coronary, and Mathemanic. Asylum offered to clean up the streets, and get rid of the very gang members that had taken the life of Impulse’s sister.

During this time, Psionex became street vigilantes, helping put an end to crime.

Psionex turned up again, during the Superhuman Registration Act as a part of the Maryland Initiative Team. Their current whereabouts since then remains unknown.

Height: 6’1”

Real Name: Unknown
Aliases: Unknown
Identity: Secret
Occupation: Unknown
Citizenship: US Citizen With A Criminal Record
Place of Birth: Unknown
Known Relatives: Unknown
Group Affiliation: Leader of Eugenix
First Appearance: New Warriors (Volume 1) #63
History: There is very little known about the origin of Genecide, other than her obsession with the destruction of the New Warriors member, Namorita. She became the leader of an extremist team known as Eugenix, where the members were known as I (One), IV, VII, IX, XI and XII. (There’s potentially members for II, III, V, VI, VIII and X, but we will likely never know). Each of these members were superhuman, each with their own, unique ability. They all followed Genecide and her terroist ideals of genetic purity. Like Genecide, I and IV were also able to visually analyze a target’s genetic structure; and could determine any genetic imperfections, or even mutations that were in that person’s genetic makeup.

Genecide and her team of Eugenix, frequently attacked hospitals, eradicating those who were hospitalized due to illness; believing that by removing those who were still alive thanks to modern medicine, they would remove the weaker genetics in the world, and allow the human race to begin it’s next step of evolution, by providing only the strong be allowed to survive.

One such attack brings Genecide and Eugenix against Firestar, who happened to be at the hospital to check if her Microwave powers were damaging her body. The fight gets the attention of Night Thrasher (Dwayne Taylor), who owns the clinic being attacked; and he brings in his team, called Psionex, which he was leading at the time. Alerted by Firestar, the New Warriors arrive and engage in a fight against Psionex, believing that they are the problem. Genecide flees, taking Firestar’s doctor as a hostage; but Firestar and Night Thrasher catch up. Night Thrasher fires a shot and hits Genecide, who is able to use her ability to easily heal her wound. XI, of Eugenix swoops down and rescues Genecide, who throws her hostage to the heroes and escapes.

Later, Genecide tells her team that their next target is Namorita, of the New Warriors. Namorita is a clone, and thus an abomination that needs to be destroyed. A short while later, Namorita is captured by Genecide, who had impersonated Doctor Lowell, who Namorita had gone to see about why her mutations seemed to be happening so frequently. Namorita easily breaks free and uses her acid touch (one of her recent mutations) on several members of Eugenix; Genecide observes and becomes fascinated by what she sees in Namorita’s DNA. The New Warriors arrive and Genecide explains that she can tell Namorita what her body is going through; but Namorita doesn’t want to hear it. Genecide signals her members of Eugenix who begin causing destruction in the medical center, explaining that the facility specializes in clones. Namorita tells the New Warriors to save the clones; and Genecide and her team escape, while Aegis argued with Namorita that clones aren’t real people; and that’s when she reveals to Aegis that she, herself, is a clone; for which he later apologizes for; but by then, Genecide and her team are long gone.

Height: 5’11” (Varies, as needed)
Weight: 210 lbs. (Varies as needed)
Eyes: Blue (Varies as needed)
Hair: Purple (Varies as needed)

Powers: Genecide has the ability (unknown if it was a mutant power, or gained through a scientific “accident”) to ‘see’ the generic make-up of every person’s DNA. She’s literally able to see every dominant trait, recessive gene, even mutations within the person’s genetic makeup. Through this ‘sight’ of a person’s DNA, she’s able to essentially tell the type of person they are, or will become. She also has complete control over her own genetic make up, which allows her several interesting powers; such as adopting the form of any human (male, female), healing any wound (bullet wounds, radiation), with the full potential of such control of her own genetic makeup, yet unrevealed.

Note: She never appeared in any New Warriors title, but in the Iron Heart title, when Midnight’s Fire appeared, it was revealed Julia Chord was his daughter, and so I created a profile for her and included it as a sub section of Midnight’s Fire.

Real Name: Julia Chord
Aliases: None
Identity: Secret
Occupation: Student
Citizenship: American Citizen, with no criminal record.
Place of Birth: New York, New York
Known Relatives: Andrew Chord (Grandfather), Miyami Chord (Grandmother, Deceased), Silhouette Chord (Aunt), Tai (Great Grandmother, Deceased), Aaron Chord (Father), Mother (Unknown), unnamed Adoptive Father & Mother
Group Affiliation: None
First Appearance: A Year of Marvels: June Infinite Comic #1
History: Very little is known about the origin of Julia Chord, even Aaron Chord admitted to Sam Alexander that he was unaware of her existence until recently.

Aaron Chord, appeared at the County Fair seeking his daughter, but could find no trace of her. He assisted Nova (Sam Alexander) in saving some people on a ferris wheel that had come unhinged. It was then he spoke to Sam about looking for his daughter.

Aaron explains that his daughter is in danger, and in the hands of evil people who mean to abuse her powers that she’s been naturally born with, just as he was. After deceiving Nova (Sam Alexander) into helping him track down his daughter, Sam discovers that Midnight’s Fire was lying about how his daughter had fallen into the hands of evil people who intended to use her inherited powers. With the arrival of Iron Man, the truth is revealed that he had intended to sell his own daughter to people who would use her powers. However, Iron Man and Nova (Sam Alexander) would end up running interference and stopping Midnight’s Fire.

Height: 4’3?
Weight: 63 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black

Powers: Aaron Chord noted that Julia’s powers were just like his, indicating, like all members of The Folding Circle; she is a mystically powered mutates who derived his power from the ancient Well of All Things. Her mutated power potentially grants her the peak of human possibility with enhanced speed, strength, agility, and sensory perception on par with Captain America. Note, that despite Aaron Chord saying that her powers were exactly like his, she displayed no such powers as of yet.
