Sigil
Growing up in an abusive home with active telepathy nearly drove him mad, Sigil however became tough, far tougher than he'd appear for a rail thin young man. Being pulled out of his home and put into foster care finally saved him before he began lashing out, with time and care he has become a gentle, if quiet young man prone to brooding. He isn't a shy bookish telepath, he's seen the worst of mankind, and is willing to fight back for others. He may be quiet as a mouse, unless there is need, and woe to those who raise his ire, for his mind can strike like thunder.
Photonstorm
Half Japanese/Caucasian, the young man who takes the name Photonstorm despises the presumptions about his "race" he doesn't know martial arts, he isn't into philosphy or Buddha, or Taoism--in fact he's your typical teen chasing girls, wanting a nice car, but a bit too poor to manage. He doe slike manga, but prefers american superhero comic books. Photonstorm can transform into living light--although sometimes he does so uncontrollably his hair, eyes, hands oor other parts flare into light. Transformed he's a blue and white "firestorm" of light. His only "attack" is to launch a dazzling blast of light.
Tether
The young man who takes the "nick" Tether has always wanted to be a superhero, he's blessed with all the things you'd expect, looks, athleticism, brains, but for power? Well he got stuck with an odd one, Tether can generate bond of weblike/ropelike "solid ectoplasm" he can tie up foes, or wrap up objects--and once tethered he can heft them like they weighed nothing (Telekinesis visible effect, shortish range, likely slinging for movement)
