Name: Lance Alvers
Code Name: Avalanche
Age: 17
Alliance: The Brotherhood
Origin: Unknown
Powers: Avalanche is a mutant with the superhuman ability to generate powerful waves of vibrations from his hands, creating highly destructive effects. The vibrations can cause an inorganic object to shatter or crumble into dust. When directed against large objects like buildings or upon the earth itself, the vibrations can produce effects similar to those of an earthquake or avalanches within limited areas. Avalanche need not touch an object to affect it: he can direct the vibrations against it from some distance away from it.
Avalanche is himself invulnerable to the effects of generating these intense vibratory waves. However, if the vibrations were to be reflected back upon him, he would be injured.
Weakness: His powers are very taxing and gives him headaches. Therefore, he can only employ his abilities on a limited basis before losing control of his potentially unlimited powers.
Skills: He's pretty smart and knows when to stop fighting.
Personality: He can be hot headed at times, when he gets mad he brings the roof down (literally). Sometimes he can be pretty quiet though.
Appearence: He's pretty handsome. He has brown hair and eyes. His weight is 195 lbs and his height is 5'7"
History: Considering he was put into foster care, it's safe to assume that Lance is an orphan. As the story goes, he arrives in Bayville around the same time period as Kitty but is recruited by Mystique while Kitty is welcomed to the X-team. Sooner or later, Lance becomes more or less the unofficial leader of the Brotherhood - technically, it's assumed Pietro should be leader, being a son of Magneto, but in terms of actual leadership - Lance takes over.
Lance possesses a very cool, very taxing power of the ability to cause seismic earthquakes which causes incredible damage to property around him. Which, naturally, makes him very popular with the adminstration. However, using his powers gives him a heck of an immense headache. Hanging out with the Brotherhood, the whole ripped-jeans, long hair look quite frankly, puts him in the category of rebel, along with his friends - Pietro (Quicksilver), Todd (Toad), Fred (Blob) and Co.
Lance meets Kitty as she flies out of a locker when discovering her powers (don't ask, just go along with it). Realizing he could possibly manipulate the younger mutant, he cons her into slipping into adminstration with the intention of stealing exam answers, which sadly goes awry when the rest of the X-men step in to interfere. And alas, the love story is temporarily halted.
But Lance himself doesn't revert 180 degrees for the sake of a girl. Naturally, enter the feuds. Scott Summers is also known as Public Enemy No. 1 for Lance. Leader of the Brotherhood and Leader of the X-Men don't mix, and it's often those two that are seen showing outright animosity towards each other.
Lance is fairly intelligent, when need be, and by default, has to take it upon himself to scrounge the money and the food to keep the Brotherhood going. He's had some brain lapses, such as his idea to reveal their mutant powers to the public, but overall, he's the one the Brotherhood depend on for the most part.

Audition:
Avalanche smirked as he stood with his legs apart facing a building. "I think it's time to stir up some trouble," he muttered as he glanced over at Pyro who was laughing as he created a large horseman out of the flame of the flamethrower he was holding.
He turned back to the building he was facing and as he did so the ground started shaking. He placed both hands on the ground causing it to tremble harder, he smirked in both exhaustion and because of the people around him shouting that the entire place was going to explode. The smirk slipped from his face as the building he was facing collapsed into the ground and into the crater he created.
He sighed as he stood up straight and turned away from the building.
"You want some more?" he shouted as the people who were still watching but fleed after he turned his attention to them.
He smiled and back over to his comrads who were waiting for him.
=====================================================
Name: Alex Summers
Codename: Havok
Age: 17
Alliance: X-Men
Origin: Anchorage, Alaska, United States.
Powers: Havok is a mutant possessing the power to absorb ambient cosmic energy, process it and emanate it from his body as waves of plasma in the form of a blast or discharge, with a tell-tale concentric circle pattern. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. He is immune to the adverse effects of most forms of radiation and heat. At times, he is not entirely able to control this ability which sometimes makes him a danger to those around him unless he wears a special containment suit to assist him. Havok is immune to his own powers and to those of his brother Scott.
Weakness: Havok's body is constantly in the process of absorbing cosmic radiation. When each of his body's power-storage cell enclaves reaches its capacity, excess energy is thereafter absorbed and immediately re-emitted in negligible quantities. Upon the total expenditure of all his available energy, it takes Havok's body about 16.5 hours to recharge to its peak level. The act of concentration involved in releasing his energy in anything other than an omnidirectional wave is physically exhausting for Havok if he continues it over an extended period of time.
Skills: He has been taught martial arts by Wolverine. He is also well educated in the field of geophysical science.
Personality: Kind most of the time but hotheaded when it comes to Polaris.
Appearence:
ClickHistory: When Alex was a boy growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, his father took the family for a flight in their airplane. It came under attack by a Shi'ar spaceship. As the plane caught fire and was crashing, his parents fastened Alex and his older brother, Scott, into a parachute and pushed them off the plane in hopes that they would survive.
The Summers boys were put in an orphanage and Alex was soon adopted though his brother Scott remained there for much of his childhood. Alex was raised by the Blandings; a family whose son, Todd, died in a car accident. They tried to make Alex fit into the image of their son and he tried to do as best he could. When the boy responsible for Todd's death kidnapped Alex and his foster sister, Haley, Alex manifested his powers for the first time incinerating the boy. Sinister appeared eager yet surprised that Alex’s potential exceeded that of Scott's but he seemed to lack control over his gift. Sinister placed psi-blocks on both Alex and Haley's minds causing them to forget what had happened that night.
Alex was captured by Bolivar Trask and his Sentinels, who were bent on controlling or eradicating all mutants. Trask fashioned a costume for Alex that would help him control his powers and Alex took the code name Havok. Trask turned out to be a mutant himself and the Sentinels were defeated by the X-Men. Havok actively joined the X-Men and began a relationship with Lorna Dane, Polaris. While the senior X-Men were in the Savage Land, Havok and Polaris were approached by Professor X about the imminent invasion of the alien Z’Nox. During this time the couple fell in love.
Havok and Polaris were occasional members and allies of the X-Men for years. During one of their adventures, Polaris was possessed by the mutant Marauder Malice ending the romantic relationship for a time.
