Biography
Childhood
The second child of two journalists, one a Northern Irish news anchor, the other a Pulitzer winning American journalist, Frank grew up in a house that was on the surface perfectly normal- a white picket fence, a dog, everything you could reasonably want. In reality, his mother drank and his parents’ marriage was slowly drifting apart. Frank and his older brother grew up prickly and self-reliant, because there was no real alternative. His future from there seemed easy to predict- a decent college grade, a job in a newspaper somewhere, a loveless marriage and a life of quiet mediocrity. Nature, however, had other plans.
On Frank’s fifteenth birthday, he manifested as a mutant. This turned out to be the death knell for his parents’ marriage, driving his mother to abandon the family and cut all contact with them. His school career further suffered as his friends drifted away, eager to avoid the stigma of being friends with a mutant. Frank responded by acting out, both in class and at home. In the end, his father enrolled him in Xavier’s.

Powers
Frank is a floramorph- he can transform his body into living plant matter. In his case, wood. Hold off with the erection jokes please, he’s heard them all already. When Frank has turned, he’s a lot tougher then he is normally- his nerves don’t work the same way, so his pain tolerance is a lot higher. He’s also a lot harder to damage due to the higher density of his wood form, and his endurance is a lot better, although he can’t quite figure out why.
Equipment
Examples: None, EXCEPT FOR HIS WITTY RETORTS!
Trivia
Frank is nigh-pathologically obsessed with the works of Hunter S. Thompson.
