History:
Xavier Daniels was born into a working class family in North Carolina where he excelled at both sports and academics, particularly mathematics. Unbeknownst to him, his mutant powers were exhibiting themselves at that time.

When he was 15, his powers surfaced when, after sneaking to take the car out, he was involved in a one-car accident. While he was not injured, the car was smashed in the front and he was frustrated at his own ignorance for crashing the sole family car. In his frustration, he wished that the car was OK, that he could just go home. Slowly, to his amazement, the car metal twisted and turned until the car was as good as new.
Xavier went home and started to work on his new secret, figuring out the scope and extent of his powers. To help him in this regard, he began to research any type of technology he could find on the net and took an ever-increasing science and math load at school.

He went to college on a football scholarship and graduated with degrees in nuclear engineering, mathematics, and architecture. By the time he was called toolkit, as he always seemed to have the right device or tool for any occasion. This was by designing, as he began to carry with him a few items that he could morph into the devices he needed.

Xavier is now an adult with a career with a military industrial company, where he is exposed to and develops cutting edge technology. He is aware of the need for heroes and he has developed a solution: The Toolkit Armour.

His armour is an ultralight light vibranium/adamantium armor blend that he uses as the base template to create and launch weaponry as he sees fit. Many of his base weapons systems are based on Iron Man technology, but his energy system, which relies on total environment technology his powers created, can harness incredible amounts of power.

He can harness energy from nearly ANY conceivable source, and his armour is able to store this energy for later use as well as draw more as needed. He also is able to make other items as needed.

After the Avengers battle with Zahir and the vampire, Xavier has completely remade the Toolkit armor, using the ideas of Viktor Von Doom to change Toolkit into an energy harnessing, transducing, and manipulation device, to ensure that he will be ready when next he encounters Zahir.

Xavier has made a fortress lab in the Antarctic that is based in part on the destroyed Avengers SQ. In this capacity, he has pirated all of the information that they formerly received from world intelligence resources, and he has moved to make this fortress closer to impregnable and untraceable than the original upon which it was based.

Power:
1.Xavier can control metal and mold it on the molecular and macro-level to create whatever he wishes. there is little limit to what he can create. Only his knowledge and imagination can limit his powers.

2. He has an affinity with computer and electronic systems, most likely related to his main power. With this power he can mentally interact with machine and alter and recreate protocols as he sees fit. His strongest affinity is (naturally) with the Toolkit Armour.

3.He is a human who engages in intensive regular exercise and is an accomplished combatant, primarily using catch wrestling, boxing, and Muy Thai. He has added complete proficiencies in Aikido and Tai Chi.

4. He is a successful businessman.

The TOOLKIT Armor:
1. Base strength of 40 tons, with a boost of up to 30 additional tons with the active abandonment of its energy manipulation technology.

2. Toolkit is the only in a class of armored suits capable of energy absorption, manipulation, redirection, and transduction. It is capable of also creating simple hard light constructs similar to what one would find from a Green Lantern, for example.

3. Toolkit is capable of incredible speeds in excess of Mach 20 with the ability to dodge and move at that speed due to ultrafast dodging computers based on one of Tony Starks' designs. It is also self-repairing due to nanobots (based on the Blue Hornet's design).

4. Toolkit finally is capable of opening dimensional portals, gates, wormholes, and hyperspace for interstellar travel. These actions require the armor to siphon additional energy. It can link with Salvage's armor or any device or source to get that energy, if neeeded.
 
:: Walking down one of the numerous gravel pathways that wove within Central Park, Alexis' healed boots scuffed the stones as her pace began to quicken. It was late fall, and the night's air was already blistering cold; burning her porcelain skin as she walked. Tucking her gloved hands into her pockets, Alexis' shrugged her shoulders up trying to cover her exposed neck. ::

:: As the blonde continued to make her way through the park, a noise caught her attention in the distance. Narrowing her eyes slightly, it sounded like metal being ripped apart...or torn. The screeching noise made Alexis wince with discomfort. Picking up her pace once more, she moved down another pathway leading to where she was hearing this insufferable racket. Finally stopping in mid step, her eyes landed on a tall black man, whom most obviously had to be a mutant of some sort. Friend or foe had yet to be determined. ::

"Well, well, well....what do we have here?"

:: Untucking her hands from her pockets, Alexis tilted her head gently to the side; her blonde lock blown slightly into her line of sight by a soft wind. ::
 
Xavier had been here only a short time and already his patience was wearing thin. Miracle had barely been pulled back to his dimension in time, nearly killed by some unknown magical force. He had volunteered to investigate the disturbance, try to see if it was any direct threat to their dimension. There was no helpful intel from Miracle as he was still unconscious from the attack on his his life so, flying blind, Xavier decided to venture here into what was apparently a complete alternate dimension. For the sake of disguise, Xavier dressed in a charcoal-colored double-breatsted suit with a cream-colored shirt and corresponding silk tie and hankerchief. He carried some modules that he needed in what appeared to be a large charcoal suitcase.

The first thing Xavier did upon arrival was "look around" using his powers, delving into computers all over the globe to look for himself or his teammates. As far as he could ascertain, this dimension was divergent enough that none of the team HERE even resembled themselves back HOME.

"Interesting," he thought as he did the search while simultaneously redecorating an alley to retrieve the metal he might need later in case this dimension proved as hostile to him as it was to his teammate. It was in the middle of this exercise that he was found by an extremely attractive and well-dressed young woman with apparently no fear at all and, according to TOOLKIT, a very high power level. He turmned to face her, systems quietly on alert, power sources already found.

"What indeed, young lady? It seems that neither of us are exactly as currently advertised. For my part I am looking for someone who may have harmed a friend of mine. You see, he is primarily a priest, but he also wields magic. Ring a bell?"
 
:: Allowing her sapphire eyes to meet with this mystery man's, Alexis lifted one of her finely shaped brows as he asked her about a priest. Giving him a faint, yet cold smile, Alexis studied the man carefully, before answering him. ::

"I know of him...yes."

:: Glancing down at his brief case then back up at him, Alexis parted her lips; her warm breath now becoming visible against the cold air. ::

"But I’m certainly not telling you his location."

:: Taking a step back, Alexis narrowed her eyes into a soft glare before giving him a condescending smile. ::

"Sorry, handsome. Better luck next time."

:: Taking a step back, Alexis gave him a small wink before walking down another pathway adjacent to the one she met the man on. She certainly wasn't about to give information to a complete stranger who could very well work for MysTech. ::
 
This lady was quite impressive. She knew what had happened, but did not trust him enough to tell. Or was she hiding something more sinister? Using his uplink, he was already doing a quick analysis of her face to determine who she was. He just got a hit.

"Alexis wait!!! It is Alexis, isn't it? Look, I understand that you have no reason to trust me, but something sinister attacked my friend here and I intend to track down who or what it was. I know that you know who it was by your reply alone. If you are afraid, I can protect you. However, if you do not wish to help me because you are hiding something, I am sure a simple cross-analysis will determine who you are connected to that I need to question next."

Xavier walked quickly to the next alley in order to maintain contact with Alexis. He had a feeling that this young lady held the answers he was seeking...
 
:: Stopping in mid step, Alexis turned as she heard the man call her name. Looking slightly confused, he must of either been telepath? Alexis' wasn't quite sure, but regardless he certainly did know far too much about her already. ::

"Sorry, can't help you."

:: Turning back around, Alexis began to walk once again, letting out a huff of air listening to the man ramble once again. Letting out a short laugh at his assumption that HE could protect her? Alexis turned in mid step with an ammused look upon her face. ::

"You've got to be joking right?"

:: Shaking her head, Alexis ran her tongue along her lower lip as she took a step forward toward the man. ::

"Look, I don't like being "analyized", nor do I enjoy being threatened. So unless you BACK OFF, you'll have a hell of a lot more to worry about than the location of your preist friend."
 
"I have not threatened you unless you are one of those responsible for the state he is in. I know him. He is a pious man, a man who would NEVER start a fight. Now he has been assaulted, and I am determined to find whoever is responsible and teach them not to make the mistake of attacking my friends. I am certainly not worried about your threats, nor do I appreciate them. I have asked a question and I expect to be answered!"

As Xavier speaks, the cars in the alley move to block Alexis' Path and the rooftop attennas of the adjacent buildings warp, turning into a fence covering the top of the alley in which they now face one another.
 
:: Glancing over her shoulder seeing the cars block her pathway, Alexis' eyes narrowed allowing her eyes to shift back to the man. So he wanted to play THAT game, did he? ::

"You're playing a very dangerous game, sweetheart. Guardian didn't take well to threats either, especially from a man who spoke a lot of trash and didn't have the power to back it up. Now he's dead....just like YOU will be!"

:: Waving her arm, ala Prue, Alexis locked onto Xavier's energy signature and sent him hurling into the building aside of them. ::

"GET UP!"

:: Nodding her head over toward the building parrell to the one she just tossed him into, he went airborn once again, slamming into the brick wall of that building. ::
 
There was no longer a man where Xavier once srtood, but a silver suit of armor with royal blue trim. She could hear Xavier laughing at her under the TOOLKIT armor.

Manual physical form manipulation due to target Alexis ability to sieze this one by its energy signature. Signature randomized and encoded for continued battle.

"Impressive. I almost felt that! I will have to speak to this Guardian once I am done with you. You had your shot. Now its my turn."

Toolkit stood stock still as suddenly pieces of metal began to fasten themselves to Alexis' body, wrapping her up in a metal cocoon in seconds. After she was encased the armor finally raised a finger, and drew the heat energy out of the metal cocoon, lowering the temperature of it to absolute zero.

"Maybe that will cool off the hotheaded. Now tell me what I wish to know or I will have to REALLY play rough!"
 
:: Lifting her chin every so slightly, Alexis looked down at Xavier who now stood in his armor. Ooh, so impressive. Rolling her eyes, Alexis tossed her purse to the side, now gripping her hands into fists. ::

"So, what do you call yourself, stud? Let me guess! Can Opener? Lube Job?"

:: Letting out a low laugh, Alexis was suddenly bound by metal that had wrapped around her body. The metal seemed to constrict, making it hard for the meta human to breathe. As the metal began to cool, Alexis' body was engulfed in white lights and her body was now in her ENERGY state. Moving at the speed of light behind Toolkit, Alexis' body returned to it's normal state. ::

"Cute trick."

:: Lifting her hands up, Alexis unleashed an onslaught of different forms of energy against Toolkit. Plasma blasts, energy beams, energy balls, lightning bolts, and electrical waves all at once to overwhelm him. The attack illuminated the alley way in which they were in; much like a light show you'd see at a carnival. ::
 
Suddenly he heard Alexis behind him and he immediately teleported skyward as he saw the onslaught of energy erupt from her. He dispatched two pods to capture the energy and supply it to the armor. As quickly as the light show was created, it dissipated into seeming nothingness between the two spheres.

"You're fast.. Let's see if you can catch us all."

Suddenly Alexis was surrounded by ten "TOOLKITs", all of slightly different variations. Ten different voices, styles and weapon configurations. Which were real? Which were fake? Which suit, if any, was he in? Alexis would have little time to choose as the suits all issued one command:

Erecting stasis field...
 
:: Grunting under her breath as Toolkit avoided her attack, she could feel her energy attack being absorbed...Realizing this suit of his was able to harnise energy, Alexis came to the conclusion that this could become a serious problem. Suddenly, Toolkit reappeared but in multipule fashions...10 to be exact. ::

"Oh, well this is stellar."

:: Quickly, Alexis' body changed back into her energy form allowing herself to "sink" into the concrete and out of sight. After a few moments, suddenly a tremor could be felt, building into an all out earthquake. Suddenly a massive shockwave exploded upward where the 10 Toolkits were; an attack that easily mirrored a bomb explosion. ::

:: As rock, dirt, and debris began to shower along the now destoryed alley way, Alexis was once again seen in her true form, walking through the smog of dirt that began to clear. ::

"Still alive, babe?"
 
As Alexis looked for Xavier, she realized that he was in NONE of the ten suits of armor that she just fired upon. The ten suits of armor that were all in varying stages of rapid reconstruction. The real TOOLKIT, it seemed, was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, Xavier's voice seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once.

"I'm hanging in there, sweetheart, thanks for your concern. You are awfully beautiful when you're mad! But I intend to find out why your friend hurt my friend. Was it a misunderstanding? Something sinister? Oh by the way, Miracle lives. I switched him at the last moment before he coud be killed by who was it again? Guardian??"

Suddenly a drainage pipe slammed into the back of Alexis' head. Hard.
 
:: Falling forward, Alexis hung her throbbing head low as she groaned in pain. Lifting her hand up to the back of her head, she could feel the warmth of her own blood coating her fingers. Slowly pushing her body up off the ground, she felt slightly faint from the blow to her head, but managed to push that aside. ::

"Alright...alright. I'll cooperate. Just don't bludgeon me with any more drain pipes?"

:: Sighing out, Alexis kneeled in the dirt, wincing with pain as she lifted her hand out. ::

"Help a girl out?..."

:: Groaning, Alexis continued to speak; now explaining who Guardian was to Toolkit. ::

"Guardian...she's a powerful witch who has a very short temper..."
 
The newest of the ten armored suits he had been fighting came forward and reached a hand out to steady Alexis. Xavier's voice seemed to emanate from it.

"This witch. Is she good or bad? While I am quite upset that this happened, I am wondering if in fact this may have been some sort of misunderstanding. My analysis of your fighting style indicates that you are being relatively careful of your surroundings fpor some one of your power level; that indicates a benevolent nature of sorts. You see, where I am from we are heroes. I am thinking that a temporal/dimensional trap laid by a demon that Miracle banished may have sent him here at a bad time for your friend. How about we discuss this over a quick bandaging for you and some food? My treat."
 
:: Wincing with pain as Toolkit helped her up, Alexis smiled softly at him...he was nice. Only try to help find out who attacked his friend. ::

"Thanks.."

:: Looking to him, Alexis reached her delicate hand out to his cheek, gently caressing it. ::

"You know, you're pretty cute....."

:: Quickly, and without notice, Alexis brushed her hand across Toolkit's throat, the side of her hand and forearm now resembled that of glass. The sharp shard sliced deeply across Toolkit's throat and tracheae, instantly spilling blood onto her skin and splattering drops across her beautiful face. ::

"It's such a shame I had to kill you."

:: Taking a step back, Alexis narrowed her eyes now irradiating the exposed wound at an accelerated pace, now smiling with the outmost pleasure. Darting her tongue along her lips, she could taste the salt from his warm blood as it danced along her tongue. ::
 
As it seemed that Xavier was dying before her, the hard light projection faded.

This time the pipe hit her harder to the back of the head. As she fell, four of the suits armor came together around her. On of them captured her into itself as a cage hovering about the ground while the other three suits grasped each other hand to foot and began circling her at high speed. The spoke one word in unison:

Tokamak

Now Xavier's voice came from the armor that had grabbed her.

"As you now realize, I am not foolish enough to trust you so easily. What I find disappointing is that you would actually think that attack would kill me. It would have made me REALLY hurt you. Now, to let you know, you are encased in a cage hovering in a tokamak, a magnetic pinch based on old fusion technology research that is now designed to imprison energy beings like youself. The beauty is that the magnetic bottle is adept at encasing all forms of energy that you have exhibited so far, and maybe a few others you haven't thought of yet. If you DO manage to breach it's barrier and acually survive the disruption to your form, I can still kick your ass and you cannot even find me. Tell me all I want to know or die. You have 3 seconds."
 
"Son of a bit--"

:: Being knocked forward again, these duplicates were about as bad as the WILDPack. Being grabbed from behind, Alexis was now held against her will and hovering above the ground with three other duplicates circled her at an accelerated pace, creating a cage like effect. She needed to get rid of these duplicates and fast. ::

:: Alexis had complete sway--in her physical form or energy form--over all energy sources around her. This resulting in her being able to TAP into that energy source and do as she pleased with it. Along with having complete telekinetic control over any energy signature, Alexis could find energy like a beacon. Immediately zeroing into the REAL Toolkit, within seconds, Alexis used her manipulation over energy--and because the armor itself ran off of energy based powers--she completely DRAINED the energy source used to power up the suit and SHUT DOWN Toolkit's armor. As a result, his little projections soon faded, which in turn allowed Alexis to drop back down to the ground, unbound. ::

"You may have trumped me with that armor of yours, but you underestimate my abilities, sweetheart. What runs on energy I CONTROL. And that little suit of yours won't hold sway over me any longer."

:: Alexis' body suddenly engulfed in white lights, and soon she was standing before Toolkit as GUARDIAN herself. Smirking, 'Guardian' crossed her arms along her chest, standing confident and poised, now mocking Toolkit as the very person who murdered his friend. ::

"I killed your ridiculous priest friend....and let that serve as a warning for any more of you who decide to come to OUR city and make threats, you disgusting piece of trash."
