X-8

Evan Kim

Evan Kim discovered his mutant gifts early and used it to circumvent the curfew imposed by his strict parents. Renaming himself X-8 (pronounced Exit), Kim teleported across North America and Europe to attend the famed raves in Miami, Montreal, and Ibiza. Soon, he was club-hopping across the globe with his friends, committing petty crimes for cash and partying damn near every night. A few club organizers discovered X-8’s ability, and hired him to “chaperone” international stars to their parties, even though neither the promoters nor X-8 gave the VIPs much choice. Instead, Kim would suddenly appear next to the celebrity and blip out before bodyguards could react. Kim would always return the star, after they’d made an appearance at the party, but kidnapping was still kidnapping.
Between the abductions and providing drug courier services for manageable shipments, X-8 quickly rose on the Feds’ most wanted lists. It was only a matter of time before the FBI lured X-8 into a trap and surrounded him in a nullification field before he could escape. Once The Cartel discovered X-8’s existence, they pulled strings to have him transferred to Lockdown and immediately indoctrinated the young man. They needed him to ferry convicts to various jobs worldwide, in exchange for a lot of money – enough money to earn his loyalty. In exchange he would become a trustee, and earn “furlough” where he could travel anywhere outside North America for the occasional weekend, as long as he returned on the specified day. X-8 did break curfew once, however, and was immediately stricken by blinding, crippling pain that only ended when he teleported back to Lockdown. How the Cartel managed to accomplish this is beyond X8, but he’s learned his lesson.
Kim isn’t a criminal, not like the other guys in Lockdown. As far as he’s concerned, his adventures were victimless. He was just having fun, which seems to be key with him. He’s the perpetual trickster, never taking anything seriously… just chilling with a persistent grin on his face and spouting the latest slang. Kim bends rules for the sake of bending them. He occasionally sneaks contraband into Lockdown, offering luxury item like weed, beer, or porn for trade (but never anything that might show up on Incursion’s radar, Kim knows better). As a result, Kim’s developed a small rep as the go-to guy for supplies among select prisoners.
