Powers
Doug began his stay at the mansion not convinced that he even had a mutant power. He was merely a guy with a bit of a talent for languages and hacking. That lasted until he discovered that he could practically read his roommate Jamie's body language. He tested his theory by refreshing his journal page in different languages that he had never studied in his life, and found that he could read them all.
Since that time, Doug has discovered that his power extends to pattern recognition. This means that he can comprehend the written or spoken word of any language that he sees or hears, including the future language Askani. He can also "read" body language and decipher codes. His instinctive mastery of languages also includes computer languages, part of what makes him such an excellent programmer.
Equipment
Doug always has his PDA with him.
