Amy Wright | Known as Eyespy. See her individual page for more details.

PB: Allison Mack, socked by Michael |
Suki Sato | Known as Mimic. Born in Atlanta, Suki has one older brother and her parents own a small, but successful tech company. Both children were stimulated to achieve their own dreams and when Suki wanted to start a small business of her own when she was 14, her parents fully encouraged her. Having been fascinated with computers since a young age, she started with writing small apps for friends and family, but through word of mouth her business grew quickly. During her junior year she won the Young Business Award of a local organisation and she founded a Young Entrepreneurs club at school. This all collapsed at the start of her senior year, when accusations rose that her parents business had ties with the Chinese mob. She eagerly jumped at the chance to get away from it, accepting The Archduke’s invitation for a business related internship.
Her power is called "mimicry" - the ability to perfectly imitate anyone's voice, as well as mannerisms and handwriting. |
Gabriel 'Gabe' Forrest | Known as Garrulous. Gabe is an only child from Alabama. Since middle school he has been active in student government and he was class president for several years. Gabe got into trouble when he used his abilities to talk down a boy who hurting his girlfriend. The boy, being the nephew of the principal, got Gabe thrown out of school on account of him ‘mind controlling him’. To deal with this and the reaction of his social group, he turned towards alcohol to escape now and then. Caught quickly by his parents though, they together decided getting away from the situation would be a good thing. Gabe selected the internship as his favorite option. Together with CJ, he was involved in a political internship.
In September 2016 he worked with Scanner to get various anti-mutant laws passed, before being stopped by Hope A. and her friends. He was handed over to SHIELD. His power is hypersuasion - the ability to convince anyone to do whatever he wants if he talks to them long enough. It's not something he can completely control. PB: Ryan Pinkston, socked by Walks |
Azazel | Real name unknown. His origin is mostly unknown. The only clear clues are his Russian/ Eastern European accent and a handful of myths about a demon who strikes and kills the entire family. It is assumed The Archduke met him on his travels and offered him a stable home where he could still practice his favorite craft. Icy polite and almost aristocratic, he views himself not as The Archduke’s man, but a equal doing his business partner a favor. When the X-Men raided The Archduke's castle, he tried to get away, unwilling to face off against the powerful adversaries, showing that his loyalties don't run that deep. He has teleporting abilities and hand-to-hand combat skills, assisted by a short sword and a sharp tail on which he impales his victims.

Former Members
CJ Ward | Formerly known as Profiler. CJ is an only child from Connecticut. She wanted to be be a lawyer since middle school and she was knew it was important to make a good grades. She was known to be studious, but mostly was noticed because she was involved in the debate team, mock trial team and Model United Nations. However, after the revelation of her mutant abilities, she was kicked out of various competitions because of claims she used her talent to win. Being basically socially exiled from her social world at home, she finds a new one online and she eagerly accepts the groups invitation for a politically oriented internship. When the X-Men raided the castle, she surrendered along with Ian, disenchanted by the life The Archduke was offering them.
After being rescued from Ksavia, CJ and Ian received care on Muir for a time, after which she enrolled in Georgetown University in Washington where she majors in Political Science. She also interns at the Commission of Mutant Affairs, keeping Hope A. informed about the trends about mutants in Washington. In September 2016 she helped to stop Scanner and Garrulous from manipulating the passing of anti-mutant laws. Her power is called "perception," allowing her to read facial expressions and body language and figure out the bearer's thoughts and feelings. She cannot use it on herself and strong emotions cloud her ability. PB: Elise Gatien, socked by Ryan |
Ian Archer | Formerly known as Forward. Ian is from California and has one younger brother. They and their father are fanatical players of war games like Risk and Axes and Allies. He also started studying martial arts when he was six years old and still practices Wushu. Ian was suspended from his high school after getting into a fight with a bully who was harassing his friend. It was during that fight when he possibly first became aware of his preflex ability, as he was able to 'see' and counter the bully's every punch. At home, his parents lectured him on not fighting, even to defend his friends. This causes him to protest, stating that that is who he is. His internship is military and defense oriented. He surrendered along with Ian during the X-Men raid.
After being rescued from Ksavia, CJ and Ian received care on Muir for a time, after which he enrolled as a civilian student at Norwich University in Vermont. He plans to major in military history. He and CJ have been making moves towards dating. In September 2016 he came to visit Hope A., CJ and Cara in Richmond and he agreed to be a part of the network. His power is called "preflex." He can detect and react to events a split second before they happen. Combined with his martial arts training, this makes Ian an excellent fighter who's almost impossible to surprise.

Details
Phase 1
As the Foundation of Genetic Harmony, they appeared to be entirely innocent - a group of European mutants on an online forum that discuss mutant related politics, sociology and philosophy. Much of the conversation is about how mutation can impact local and regional politics, industry and peacekeeping. While it is mostly neutral in terms of political leaning, there is a subtle undertone that the reason mutants have a duty towards humans is due to their 'advanced' nature and relative gifts.
However Hope A. Abbott, after being introduced and pulled in by Amy Wright, discovered that there was something much darker going on beneath the surface. The Foundation was just a front to recruit mutants for the Archduke's army, with the aim of creating a "perfect" world where mutants ruled. Following raids by X-Force and the X-Men, the Archduke disappeared, taking his army with him, and the Foundation seemed to have gone defunct.
Phase 2
Nothing could be further from the truth. The first sign came soon after M-Day. In February 2015, Amy proved to Hope A. she was alive and well and still with the GenetiX United when she sent Hope A. a card calling her a traitor.
They didn't really resurface till September 2016, when Garrulous and Scanner were found working in Richmond, Virginia to get anti-mutant laws passed. While there they were spotted by CJ Ward, who called in help. Hope A., Doug Ramsey and Darcy Lewis traveled there to help, leading to Scanner and Garrulous being captured and turned over to SHIELD. The damage Garrulous had done in 'hypersuading' the various politicians and staffers was undone.
