Biography
Childhood
Jean-Paul grew up in a series of foster homes and is accustomed to poverty and physical abuse and hardship. His parents died in an accident when he was two and he and his twin sister Jeanne-Marie were separated when he was adopted and she was not. His adoptive parents died when he was five. He grew up as a slight, pretty boy in a series of rural Quebec foster-homes, which should effectively define his childhood. He did, however, excel at athletics and this kept him out of a certain amount of trouble.
Jean-Paul competed in the Winter Olympics when he was 18 and once held 4 Olympic gold medals, all of which he turned over after publically acknowledging his status as a "mutant" in 1992 when he began working with Department H. He maintained that he was not fully aware of his "condition" when he competed in the Olympics. Jean-Paul has been out of the closet as a gay man to the public and media since 1994 as well, prompting his first 'sabbatical' from the Depatment and some time spent wandering France. He performed in the circus in France and is an excellent acrobat. While with the circus, he specialized in aerial acrobatics.

Powers
Jean-Paul's powers are relatively modest but well-developed. He's a flyer, exceptionally fast and agile, able to reach 200mph, and has incredible endurance - for the most part, he simply does not get physically tired. His speed is not just flight, it applies to all his motion, and he is able to deliver jackhammer-speed blows and simply avoid or outmaneuver his opponents. He's also able to translate physical energy into balls of light or concussive bursts, nothing extravagant but enough to give him the advantage when it's needed, especially when applied in closed spaces.
He is quite strong for a human, especially one his size, but most of that is due to his constant focus on being fit. He's very physically durable, he can take far more punishment than even a very healthy man, and he is immune to extremes of temperature. However, he is far from invulnerable compared to some others.
Equipment
None.
