Neuro Nerds Unite!

About Me


My name is Nadia. Named after Romanian gymnast Nadia Comanechi, I unfortunately lack her deft motor coordination, and so cannot follow in her footsteps. Or her handsprings. My goal is to become a happy Democratic neuropsychiatrist working with adults with autism spectrum disorders. A few of my loves: my younger sister Laura, my cat Shadow, my violin (been playing for 26 years now!), writing, and sci-fi/fantasy. My music of choice is classical and musicals, and my favorite place is the library--did I mention I'm a nerd?
First Mutant is a pseudonym for Gabriel Ashlocke, the Mutant X villain I sporadically roleplay. First Mutant maintains The Great Mutant X Fansite Directory at http://www.firstmutant.bravehost.com.
The psychopath new mutant Gabriel Ashlocke (played by Michael Easton) was the first and most powerful child of Genomex created. Otherwise known as Patient Zero, Gabriel possesses abilities of all four new mutant types: feline feral, gravitative/force-field/intangible molecular, electrical/energy elemental, and telepathic/illusionist psionic.
Born without a conscience, little Gabriel's aggressive tendencies quickly spiraled out of control. On October 13th 1978, Gabriel's parents brought the 10-year-old Gabriel back to Genomex so that Adam Kane could make him more human by reducing his abilities. But Adam had unfortunately overlooked a weakness in strand 19 Gabriel's DNA, and his treatment only caused further fragmenting in Gabriel's genetic structure. Gabriel murdered his parents six months later.
In order to protect the world from his malignant potential, Adam and Genomex's head of security Mason Eckhart placed Gabriel in a stasis pod where he remained in a coma-like state for 25 years until he was released by GS agent Morgan Fortier. With the help of Dr. Kenneth Harrison, Gabriel placed Mason in a stasis pod and took over Genomex headquarters. He then turned his vengeance sights upon Adam and Mutant X, while searching for methods of stabilizing his fragmented DNA. Gabriel and his group of loyal new mutants, The Links, formed an organization bent on world domination called The Strand.
