Code Name: None
Real Name: Riley Cole Creed.
Nicknames: Cole, Pup.
Occupations: Riley spends his days epitomizing the Terrible Twos, reeking havoc on Xavier's School for Higher Learning, and terrorizing his nanny Jane Jensen and any given baby sitter, whilst acting perfectly innocent in the presence of his parents and family.
Legal Status: Riley has no criminal record of any kind. Yet. Give him a few years. He's a Creed. It'll happen.
Identity: Riley's identity is unknown to the general public but is, unfortunately, known by more then a few organizations that would very much like to see his father, Sabretooth, dead.
Aliases: None.
Place of birth: Xavier's School for Higher Learning in Westchester, New York.
Age: 2
Marital Status: Um...well single
Sexual Orientation: At 2, that's really hard to say.
Known Relatives: Cheyenne LeBeau, Kayo (Mother). Victor Creed, Sabretooth (Father). Remy LeBeau, Gambit (Grandfather). Marie LeBeau, Rogue (Step-Grandmother). Jean-Luc LeBeau (Great Grandfather). Cody LeBeau, Trump (Uncle). Jeanette LeBeau, Kismet (Aunt). Damien Creed, Rage (half-brother). Anna-Marie Carter, Vixen Blue (half-sister). Cali Creed, Minx (half-sister).
Group Affiliation: Riley's mother Kayo is a member of Nexus. Riley himself is not a team member, for obvious reasons.
Base of Operations: Xavier's School for Higher Learning (Temporary), The Creed Estates Alberta, Canada.
First Appearance: Nexus, issue 14: 'Taunt Me, Break Me, Pick up the Pieces' (Part 1 of 2) "Ways of the Feral".
Origin: Riley is a mutant and was born with his powers. Unlike most mutants, Riley's powers are allready manifesting (see 'known superhuman powers').
Height: 2 foot 6 inches
Weight: 36lbs (2 stones 8 pounds)
Eyes: Black with glowing red specks.
Hair: Blonde with red quills that give him a "reverse mohawk" effect.
Distinguishing Marks: Riley was born with black eyes specked with ember-like glowing red flecks, small, black claws on his fingers and toes, pointed canines and red, razor-sharp quills. His quills cover various parts of his body, most of which, at this point, are kept covered for his own personal safety, and of which cover the sides of his arms, shoulders, legs and the top of either side of his head.
Strength Level: Riley possesses the normal strength of a trouble-making two-year-old.
Known Superhuman Powers: Riley Cole is a Feral, having inherited a mild version of his father's healing factor, his parents' heightened senses, as well as their struggle with the illusive 'Blood Rage' fits, although so far his attacks are few, far between and fairly indestructive due to his young age. He has also gained a mutation unlike that known to either of his parents- an acute, immensely strong psychic ability, which is so far limited to incontrollable random mental links to the minds of his parents. Needless to say, the information he is fed back on both links is dually disturbing, and Professor Charles Xavier is mentoring the child in hopes to maintain his mental health, and hopefully help him develop the ability to control his telepathy.
Abilities/Special Skills: Riley is quite clever for a two year old. He is a chattery kid and will talk your ear off if you let him. He can get into and out of just about anything, including but not limited to safety locked cupboards, doors and windows, strollers, grocery carts and has a tendency to be wherever he doesn't belong.
Weapons Used: If Riley is made to do something that he doesn't want to do, he tends to bite. Hard.
Personality: Riley is simply a good-natured kid. He's got a wicked sense of humor, even at his young age, and almost always seems to be smiling and up to some sort of mischievous trouble. He is also - much to his father's annoyance- a notably affectionate little kid. Unfortunately, Riley's sweet temper and rampant giggles are occasionally interrupted due to his dark, terrorizing mutation. He struggles daily with the graphically disturbing mental links he shares with his parents - the link to Sabretooth's mind being particularly loathsome. Charles Xavier's own psychic interference is the boy's only current shield from that link, and even the Professor’s mental block is not infallible. Coupling this with his already having to deal with his intense Feral instincts at such a young age, the fact that Riley still manages to keep positive and a relatively happy child speaks wonders for his integrity and will to survive.
Personal Interests: Thus far, Riley's soul passion in life revolves around cartoons and his mounting collection of toys. When he's not struggling with the dark side effects of his mutations, he's dead set on having fun and having others have fun with him... Or, as many a case may be, having fun by pulling pranks on others instead.
History: Riley's birth was the reason Nexus, rather begrudged, returned to Xavier's School for Higher Learning after years on the streets of New York. In his considerably short life he has already faced multiple trials in dealing with mutations that are incredibly advanced for his age. He is currently safe at home at the X Mansion with his mother, Kayo, and surrogate family, Nexus, and is under the mentorship pf Charles Francis Xavier. Quite often he also visits his father Sabretooth's home in Canada.
