Teleportation - Since the emergence of his X-Gene, Jordan can instantly teleport from one location to another.
Weaknesses: Teleportation can be dangerous if Jordan does not know exactly where he is teleporting to. While he does not need to directly see where he is going, if he does not have an idea of the area he is about to appear in, he could transport himself into a solid object, merging his cells with the object and instantly killing him. Also, after the x-gene manifested itself in Jordan, he has developed a greatly increased metabolism in addition to his reflexes and must eat at least 20,000 calories a day to properly function.
Skills: In addition to being highly trained in a variety of combat, stealth, and infiltration tactics and tools, Jordan is a master of the witty and occasionally cheesy one-liners. He is also well learned and fluent in Spanish, German, Italian, and Russian.
Biography: Born to a happy couple of young and talented trapeze artists in a large traveling circus, Jordan Banesworth Jr. had an early childhood that many young boys and girls dream about. Life on the road, traveling from town to town as part of the circus, meeting new and exciting people every week as new and talented people join and leave the life like the juggler's colorful spheres transfer from hand to hand. Though there were the hard spots during the slow parts of the year, Jordan was a relatively happy child.
Around the age of ten, Jordan started to show signs of a natural flexibility and uncanny quick reflexes. Attributed to being born of 'Legendary circus heritage', Jordan was soon incorporated into the act. First as being able to perform great athletic stunts, and soon he was dodging successively faster and more deadly objects until one fateful night, at the tender age of thirteen, Jordan successfully dodged a bullet in front of a huge and astonished crowd. However, soon after tragedy struck, and Jordan found himself parent-less after one of the wires snapped and both of his parents fell to the death. Later that night, a man approached the young Jordan and the circus ring leader and expressed an interest in adopting Jordan. Feeling that remaining in the circus would be too painful, surrounded with all of the memories of his parents, and agreed.
For the next twelve years, Jordan served as a protege to the mysterious and wealthy benefactor who taught him a great many things about personal combat, stealth, and infiltration. Aside from these subtle arts, he was also given a first rate education in a variety of traditional subjects, multiple languages, and fine etiquette. In addition to being provided with a new life and a new education, Jordan was asked by his benefactor to undergo a variety of operations for him. These ranged anywhere from information gathering to assassination. Soon he took on the persona of 'Ghost' and had found a new purpose in life, a new sense of self and duty to someone who had saved him from being lost.
However, like all those who have lived long lives, father time eventually catches up and Jordan found himself kneeling next to his benefactor's death bed, both in great pain at the loss of yet another close parental figure as well as facing an unknown future. It was in these last few moment with his second father that Jordan was given a final lesson. It was revealed to him that he was something known as a mutant, a human with a special genetic evolution that had granted him these amazing abilities. His benefactor apologized for keeping him sealed away from the rest of the world, for keeping this information from him. But it was time for him to go off into the world and with his special set of skills, many would be interested in the underworld legend 'Ghost'. However, he must not go out and continue this sort of work. Together, they had saved a great many lives, though Jordan would never know or be able to understand the nature of the missions he had been sent on, it was time for his life to take a new direction. Through his numerous contacts, Jordan's benefactor had learned of a very special school where others just like Jordan went for safety and education. And in his dieing wish he asked Jordan to go there and pass on the knowledge that he had as a teacher in this school. For there was surely a great war coming and people needed to learn how to protect themselves and those they loved, but they most also know the value of life and how to use these skills wisely. With his last breath he gave Jordan a farewell kiss upon his forehead, handed him a picture with address, and passed on.
From there, Jordan packed up his belongings, his tools and weapons of his trade and closed his eyes. In an instant he vanished, reappearing on the front lawn of the school in the picture where he would go on to teach basic self defense and ethics to a new generation.
