He didn't fit in with the smart kids because he wasn't smart enough. He didn't fit in with the jocks because all he could do well was gymnastics (no football or baseball for him). He didn't have the guts to be a trouble maker (not to mention what his father would do to him if he ever got caught). He didn't even observe the same holidays as most of the other kids. Kevin wasn't particularly picked on, it was more like everyone just ignored him. More than anything Kevin just wanted to be like everyone else. Even if, just once, he could be someone else, he could be happy. And one day his wish came true.Kevin was on his way to fifth period English when he passed Mark Binder and Stacey Stratson. Stacey had her arms around Mark's arm and was holding tight. Oh how much Kevin wished he could be Mark Binder and have Stacey clinging to his arm. Kevin strolled on, enraptured by his daydream, and walked right into Mark. Mark gave him a fierce glare and didn't need to say anything. In a flash, Kevin took off around the corner before Mark would exact any sort of revenge he might have been cooking up. Kevin raced to the nearest bathroom, embarrassed that he had let his mind wander and produce such a scene. Looming over a sink, Kevin looked up at himself and nearly jumped out of his skin. Kevin looked exactly like Mark Binder. Kevin tried to hide his newfound abilities. Realizing he could be anyone he wanted to, Kevin tried to work himself into just about any clique by masquerading as one of the members of the group. However, all of his attempts failed horribly because he had no knack for passing off as someone else other than their appearance. Sure, he caused a veritable ton of confusion throughout the school all of sophomore and junior year, but its not like he had Stacey Stratson calling him her boyfriend. And it didn't take long for someone to figure out what was going on, so Kevin was soon whisked away to a special school for people with powers like him.By the end of junior year at his new school, Kevin had learned that when he took on the appearance of someone, he also seemed to acquire some of their abilities. One day he bumped into a girl who could fly and then he found he could. Another time, he &quot;tagged&quot; a student that claimed to be super-smart, and, sure enough, Kevin's intelligence shot through the roof. However, Kevin saw his abilties as a sham. If there was no one else around to copy, he was completely and utterly normal. He had just succeeded at leaving behind one group that he could never be a part of for one where that feeling was even worse. When Kevin finished school, he decided that he needed to find a way to better utilize his abilities. He signed up for the military, hoping the experience would toughen him up and teach him important life skills that would help him mesh with the rest of the world. What instead happened is that he was recruited for a new team of super powered individuals called the Guardians. The military scientists that examined him determined that he would be an excellent asset to the team. With his ability to mimic anyone else's abilities, he could fill any tactical need the team would have literally on the fly. Some of the scientists even postulated that Kevin might be able to one day use his power at range, and possibly even extract memories from people he affects. Public relations was a fan of adding him too, figuring it would be good press to have a Jew on the team. So it was decided. So now Kevin only hopes that he can fit in with this new group of impressive heroes...Appearance: Kevin is dangerously close to being categorized as scrawny. His days as a gymnast back in high school has left him relatively fit, but not overly strong or hardy. With some help from the public relations team, Kevin wears his hair neatly parted to the left and is always clean-shaven. Personality: Kevin constantly compares himself to those around him and is exceptionally critical, leaving him to always think he never measures up. This self-abuse leads him to constantly seek acceptance from everyone, even if he actually already has it. Even though he has super powers, he now is surrounded by other people with powers as well, so he never feels superior, even for a moment.
