Johnny was born and raised in New York City's northernmost borough, the only child of a lower middle class household. His childhood was a typical one, defined by an energetic disposition and a close relationship with his doting mother, whom he came to view with even more reverence when he was six years old and arrived home from school early one afternoon to discover her levitating the dishes up to the top shelf with a low-level telekinesis. Enthralled both by her powers and the notion of a secret pact between the two of them, he promised he would keep what he had seen to himself when she asked him to.
+
Johnny grew up in a lower middle class family in Morris Park in the Bronx. He was an active child and had significant issues focusing and paying attention from an early age. He was close to his mother Allison, a low level telekinetic with the shared secret of her powers providing a bond between the two and believed his home to be happy, utterly unaware of the tension between the closeted mutant Allison and Darren's emphatic anti-mutant rhetoric.  
  
−
For the next two years, things remained largely unchanged with the family. When Johnny was eight years old, however, a mundane outing with his mother resulted in tragedy when she was struck down by a car that had, in a frenzy to outrun police, run up onto the sidewalk. Crushed between the vehicle and the wall of a neighborhood convenience store, she met a quick, but gory end, one which Johnny only avoided because of his mother’s intervention, throwing him out of the way with a burst of desperate telekinetic strength. Distressed and disoriented, he was taken to the hospital to be treated for an acute stress reaction. Darren could not be reached until the evening and even when he arrived, he had little comfort to offer his son, too stunned himself by the sudden death of his wife.
+
When Johnny was eight, Allison was killed in a hit and run accident and only just managed to save Johnny from the same fate by throwing him aside with her telekinesis. Deeply traumatised by the loss of his wife, Johnny's father Darren, never a particularly active parent, had difficulties coping with the situation and drew away from his son. Rumours about Allison's mutant status began to spread and Darren always vehemently denied them. Johnny kept her secret and, in the face of parental disinterest, began to throw himself into his school life, slipping into the role of the class clown and into as many sport-based extra curricular activities as he could manage, all the while passively avoiding time at home.  
  
−
After Allison's funeral, the Gallo household was a different place, the emptiness left by her absence drawing a father and son that were never close to begin with further and further apart. The rumors that circled the neighborhood as to the circumstances of the incident did not help matters either, as suggestions of his deceased wife’s status as a mutant earned only sharp disdain from Darren, who refused to believe such a thing. Miserable at home and still holding his mother’s secret, Johnny found solace at school and among his peers, developing into a gregarious and playful attention-seeker and becoming involved in almost any school activity he could think of to avoid going home. Johnny’s own, fortunately subtle, powers began to develop when he was twelve years old. Though the reaction the rumors about his mother had earned had taught him enough to keep it to himself, the boy was silently thrilled, feeling a rejuvenated closeness with Allison that he hadn’t felt in years.
+
Johnny's own subtle powers began to develop at twelve though took him a couple of years to link his sudden drastic in agility and flexibility with a mutant power and he believed that his danger sense was simply jumpiness. When he did finally realise, he felt a renewed sense of closeness to his mother, even as he began to experiment with his powers, trying to discover the limits of his flexibility and agility.  
  
−
It wasn't until high school that the matter was brought out into the open, his powers used thoughtlessly to avoid a vicious bit of the underclassman bullying. With this one careless action he lost any semblance of belonging and most of his friends. Many that had known him for years were now uneasy around him, if they would allow themselves to be around him at all, and he was frequently antagonized. With school now just as bad as home (and home only getting worse), the boy found himself growing increasingly disheartened and even came close to running away by the time he started his sophomore year. It is likely he would have if not for his best friend and one stalwart companion, a science whiz named Eddie McDonough.
+
His powers became public knowledge when he used them to avoid a bullying incident at school. Johnny's social life fell apart. His situation at home deteriorated as Darren became aware of Johnny's powers with Darren's ambivalence becoming outright dislike. Johnny considered running away more than once and would have if not for his sole remaining friend, Eddie McDonough.  
  
−
The choice was taken out of his hands, however, when he was [[Neverland| kidnapped by Astra]] and brought to an isolated commune in Washington where he briefly lost his memory and was given an unshakable, but ultimately hollow happiness by the empath Joyboy. He was rescued by [[Scott Summers]], [[Jean-Paul Beaubier]] and [[Garrison Kane]] shortly after and brought back to the mansion to recover and regain his senses while the X-Men attempted to contact his father.

 +
 
 +
Things came to a head when Johnny was kidnapped by Astra where he was temporarily stripped of his memory and given a hollow, unshakeable happiness by the empath Joyboy before being rescued by Scott, Jean-Paul Baubier and Garrison Kane.  Darren took this as an opportunity to wash his hands of his son and refused to even come to the mansion and instead faxed over Johnny's paperwork and had all evidence of his son's existence shipped over to the mansion.
 +
 
 +
This and the removal of the empathic buffer between himself and reality caused Johnny to regress emotionally. He became needy and unsure of himself and his position at the mansion, clinging desperately at Jean-Paul as a surrogate father, going so far as to travel to Montreal with him and to a crush on Lillian Jeffries. He also formed friendships with Julian, Dori and Victor Borkowski and had a run in with the Stepfords.
 +
 
 +
Darren was seriously injured by his then-girlfriend's son Rich who had taken Kick-laced steroids which had activated his latent super strength during the first contact Darren and Johnny had had since March. With Jean-Paul leaving for Muir, Johnny decided to go home, act as his father's carer and see about repairing the relationship.

Things got better. Johnny changed schools, genuinely believed that he would be able to repair things with Darren and regained his emotional equilibrium as he completed his senior year despite still dealing with his inability to concentrate and focus, graduating in the middle of his class and became involved in a parkour group who viewed his mutation with a certain degree of envy due to the advantage it gave him. Disinclined to try college right then, given how hard it had been to pay attention at school and get his work done, Johnny took a job as a tree trimmer instead.
 +
 
 +
It didn't last. Things got worse. Things with Johnny's father fell apart again, with Darren's anti mutant rhetoric returning with a vengeance and this time, with the proof that his views were valid given his injuries. His danger sense began to play up, making him startle at the slightest  thing (such as mosquitos) and Johnny found himself kicked out again as Darren cut off contact once more, sleeping on friends' couches for a few weeks. He lost his job when he fell out of a tree when his danger sense reacted to a  spider: though uninjured, he'd neglected to wear safety equipment. Unemployed and still couch surfing, Johnny quickly became jumpier and jumpier, his danger sense utterly out of control.

Johnny returned to the Mansion in late August 2012. He has been working on getting his powers under control since then.
  
−
After contact with Darren Gallo made it clear that he was not interested in Johnny coming home (the man would not even come out to Xavier’s and had to be faxed the necessary paper work), he became an official student. While the realization was an initially painful one, the teenager soon resolved (through the aid of [[Jean Grey]] and [[Jean-Paul Beaubier]]) that the school was a better fit than home was anyway and to make the best of it. His time there initially proved uneventful, marked by gradual adjustment and a focus on his classes and his training with the [[New Mutants]]. He formed friendships of varying depths with the other occupants of the mansion, most notably Jean-Paul, [[Doreen Green]], whom he would later take to prom, and [[Lillian Crawley-Jeffries]], on whom he also formed a very one-sided crush.
+
He joined the X-Men in early December 2012 in an attempt to get his powers under control.
  
−
Johnny began to experience the uglier sides of mansion life within his first month there, however, when a bout of accidental eaves dropping and an encounter with three of the [[Stepford Cuckoos]] led him to play a role in spreading rumors about Jean-Paul, after his return from an unsavory situation with a longstanding enemy who called himself Deadly Ernst. It did not take him long to admit his role to the man or to be forgiven for it, though he never made any sort of peace with the telepaths that had caused all the trouble and still holds a genuine distrust of them.  
+
==='''2013'''===
 +
The beginning of the year brought with it Johnny's first mission as an X-Man trainee - he joined a team in [[Tropic of Capricorn | invading the mutant island of Avalon to rescue]] [[Garrison Kane]] and [[Adrienne Frost]] who had been shipwrecked there. During his downtime, he asked [[Lorna Dane - Phase 1 | Lorna Dane]] about helping her in the kitchen as a way to alleviate his boredom, and later took a job at the [[Deli-CAT-essen]], owned and run by [[Catseye - Phase 1|Catseye]]. In December he [[Blessed Are The Pure Of Heart | helped rescue some kidnapped mansionites from Faux Limbo]].
  
−
Johnny continued to bond with Jean-Paul, going with him on a road trip to Montreal and usually seeking him out when he had difficulties, such as Lil's return to Canada to [[Home and Native Land| care for her injured husband]]. His circle of confidantes expanded to include his new roommate [[Victor Borkowski]], the two extra-agile mutants finding comfort in each other's company. It was for this reason that Vic joined Johnny when Johnny's father [[Rush| unexpectedly invited him to visit]]. It proved a wise action, as the son of Mr. Gallo's new girlfriend had a violent, drug-fuelled episode and both boys were injured trying to prevent him disappearing before police could arrest him. Both were punished for their lack of tactical sense, going after Rich alone, and Jean-Paul expressed his disappointment in them. The blow of the teacher's own departure to [[Muir Island]] was softened by Johnny being called home to tend to his father, who had been seriously hurt in the incident.
+
===The End of the World===
 +
Johnny [[Reality Coming Down | helped defend the mansion when it was invaded by alternate version of the residents]] in [[January 2015]]. The efforts of all involved turned out to be futile, however, when the mansion was subsequently [[The Dark Phoenix | destroyed by the Dark Phoenix]]. Following the fracturing of reality, Johnny did not resurface. He is considered of the [[M-Day | disappeared]].

A substantial portion of Johnny's mutation has to do with alterations in the composition of his skeleton, connective tissue and muscles, all of which are aimed at increasing his natural agility. His tendons and connective tissue possess approximately twice the elasticity of an average individual's, allowing him to contort and maneuver his form in a way that would be incredibly painful, if not impossible, for most. He has a considerable acrobatic prowess and is capable of complicated gymnastic stunts in quick succession. Along with the ability to perform these nimble feats with relative ease, his agility allows him to leap remarkable distances.

−
Further alterations to his nervous system increase the speed with which his synapses function and thus increase his natural reaction speed. To date, his reflexes are approximately ten fold those of an average individual, allowing him to dodge quite efficiently even without the application of his danger sense. He also possesses a staunch sense of equilibrium. This allows him to balance steadily on almost any surface and prevents him from getting disoriented or faltering and grants practical application to his extensive acrobatic feats.
+
Johnny's improved musculature also produces less of the toxins that lead to fatigue and allow him to exert himself physically for a long period of time with little difficulty and little influence upon the quality of his performance. This only applies to toxins are produced by physical fatigue: he can still be poisoned and so forth. He doesn't get as tired during exercise as baseline human at Johnny's level of conditioning would and recover from it half again as fast as they would.

Johnny's improved musculature also produces less of the toxins that lead to fatigue and allow him to exert himself physically for a long period of time with little difficulty and little influence upon the quality of his performance.
+
Johnny's reflexes and reaction time were increased to about eight to ten times that of a baseline human. He processes some forms of stimulus, related to either his place in space or movement around him more quickly than average which would lead to situations like that one in Teen Wolf where Scott was like "I had all the time in the world to catch the lacrosse ball." That's Johnny. If he's paying attention, he's far more likely to catch the ball, avoid the punch or whatever because he has more subjective time to react. He's more likely to land on his feet if he falls because he can react to the part where he's falling so quickly. He'd never be able to dodge a bullet at close range because he just doesn't have the speed but if he was at a reasonable distance and his danger sense was working correctly he'd be able to dodge enough that a chest shot would just graze his arm instead or maybe pass by him. Anything else either requires super speed or dodging so early that the shooter would have time to adjust their aim anyway.  
  
 
'''Danger Sense'''
 
'''Danger Sense'''
  
−
Johnny possesses a type of simple precognition, a "danger sense" that allows him to perceive approaching threats before they actually occur. This sense manifests as a tingling sensation at the base of his skull, subtle fluctuations in which allow to him anticipate the severity and even the direction of an upcoming danger. At his current level of proficiency, however, he cannot always interpret them correctly.
+
Johnny has a danger sense that manifests as a tingling at the base of his skull and varying degrees of an adrenaline rush - it doesn't currently differentiate in terms of threats. The car about to hit Johnny and that mosquito over there will both generate the same reaction from it and it's also never going to be 100% reliable. He'll eventually be able to fine tune it to the point where the things that aren't threats will either not ping or do so at a very minor level. It's ultimately a very highly focused form of precognition that, while also being unable to be turned off, is also enhanced by adrenaline and or anxiety. Its baseline, once he's trained, will be picking up on something like 80-95% of immediate threats when he's calm. However, it picking up on one threat will lead to an adrenaline spike that in turn makes him more likely to get further pings off it. While this is a great asset in a combat situation, where he can be reacting effectively before threats manifest, it's a problem in his current situation where his anxiety about being unemployed and homeless is being compounded by the fact that he's constantly reacting to imaginary threats. And, unlike North or Layla, all it does is tell him that there is a threat and (maybe) what it is or where it is. It won't ever give him information about how the events are going to  play out.

Biography

Childhood

Johnny grew up in a lower middle class family in Morris Park in the Bronx. He was an active child and had significant issues focusing and paying attention from an early age. He was close to his mother Allison, a low level telekinetic with the shared secret of her powers providing a bond between the two and believed his home to be happy, utterly unaware of the tension between the closeted mutant Allison and Darren's emphatic anti-mutant rhetoric.

When Johnny was eight, Allison was killed in a hit and run accident and only just managed to save Johnny from the same fate by throwing him aside with her telekinesis. Deeply traumatised by the loss of his wife, Johnny's father Darren, never a particularly active parent, had difficulties coping with the situation and drew away from his son. Rumours about Allison's mutant status began to spread and Darren always vehemently denied them. Johnny kept her secret and, in the face of parental disinterest, began to throw himself into his school life, slipping into the role of the class clown and into as many sport-based extra curricular activities as he could manage, all the while passively avoiding time at home.

Johnny's own subtle powers began to develop at twelve though took him a couple of years to link his sudden drastic in agility and flexibility with a mutant power and he believed that his danger sense was simply jumpiness. When he did finally realise, he felt a renewed sense of closeness to his mother, even as he began to experiment with his powers, trying to discover the limits of his flexibility and agility.

His powers became public knowledge when he used them to avoid a bullying incident at school. Johnny's social life fell apart. His situation at home deteriorated as Darren became aware of Johnny's powers with Darren's ambivalence becoming outright dislike. Johnny considered running away more than once and would have if not for his sole remaining friend, Eddie McDonough.

Living At The X-Mansion

Things came to a head when Johnny was kidnapped by Astra where he was temporarily stripped of his memory and given a hollow, unshakeable happiness by the empath Joyboy before being rescued by Scott, Jean-Paul Baubier and Garrison Kane. Darren took this as an opportunity to wash his hands of his son and refused to even come to the mansion and instead faxed over Johnny's paperwork and had all evidence of his son's existence shipped over to the mansion.

This and the removal of the empathic buffer between himself and reality caused Johnny to regress emotionally. He became needy and unsure of himself and his position at the mansion, clinging desperately at Jean-Paul as a surrogate father, going so far as to travel to Montreal with him and to a crush on Lillian Jeffries. He also formed friendships with Julian, Dori and Victor Borkowski and had a run in with the Stepfords.

Darren was seriously injured by his then-girlfriend's son Rich who had taken Kick-laced steroids which had activated his latent super strength during the first contact Darren and Johnny had had since March. With Jean-Paul leaving for Muir, Johnny decided to go home, act as his father's carer and see about repairing the relationship.

Returning Home

Things got better. Johnny changed schools, genuinely believed that he would be able to repair things with Darren and regained his emotional equilibrium as he completed his senior year despite still dealing with his inability to concentrate and focus, graduating in the middle of his class and became involved in a parkour group who viewed his mutation with a certain degree of envy due to the advantage it gave him. Disinclined to try college right then, given how hard it had been to pay attention at school and get his work done, Johnny took a job as a tree trimmer instead.

It didn't last. Things got worse. Things with Johnny's father fell apart again, with Darren's anti mutant rhetoric returning with a vengeance and this time, with the proof that his views were valid given his injuries. His danger sense began to play up, making him startle at the slightest thing (such as mosquitos) and Johnny found himself kicked out again as Darren cut off contact once more, sleeping on friends' couches for a few weeks. He lost his job when he fell out of a tree when his danger sense reacted to a spider: though uninjured, he'd neglected to wear safety equipment. Unemployed and still couch surfing, Johnny quickly became jumpier and jumpier, his danger sense utterly out of control.

It was clear that he needed help.

Back To The X-Mansion

Johnny returned to the Mansion in late August 2012. He has been working on getting his powers under control since then.

He joined the X-Men in early December 2012 in an attempt to get his powers under control.

2013

The beginning of the year brought with it Johnny's first mission as an X-Man trainee - he joined a team in invading the mutant island of Avalon to rescue Garrison Kane and Adrienne Frost who had been shipwrecked there. During his downtime, he asked Lorna Dane about helping her in the kitchen as a way to alleviate his boredom, and later took a job at the Deli-CAT-essen, owned and run by Catseye. In December he helped rescue some kidnapped mansionites from Faux Limbo.

The End of the World

Johnny helped defend the mansion when it was invaded by alternate version of the residents in January 2015. The efforts of all involved turned out to be futile, however, when the mansion was subsequently destroyed by the Dark Phoenix. Following the fracturing of reality, Johnny did not resurface. He is considered of the disappeared.

Johnny has a danger sense that manifests as a tingling at the base of his skull and varying degrees of an adrenaline rush - it doesn't currently differentiate in terms of threats. The car about to hit Johnny and that mosquito over there will both generate the same reaction from it and it's also never going to be 100% reliable. He'll eventually be able to fine tune it to the point where the things that aren't threats will either not ping or do so at a very minor level. It's ultimately a very highly focused form of precognition that, while also being unable to be turned off, is also enhanced by adrenaline and or anxiety. Its baseline, once he's trained, will be picking up on something like 80-95% of immediate threats when he's calm. However, it picking up on one threat will lead to an adrenaline spike that in turn makes him more likely to get further pings off it. While this is a great asset in a combat situation, where he can be reacting effectively before threats manifest, it's a problem in his current situation where his anxiety about being unemployed and homeless is being compounded by the fact that he's constantly reacting to imaginary threats. And, unlike North or Layla, all it does is tell him that there is a threat and (maybe) what it is or where it is. It won't ever give him information about how the events are going to play out.


While this sense can be triggered even when he is asleep, stunned or disoriented, such circumstances slow it considerably and alleviate much of its usefulness. Sudden or extreme threats may cause this sense to react with excruciating intensity.
