Origin: Snap is a mutant and was born with his powers. Unlike other mutants, Snap's powers emerged at an early age and he spent a lot of his childhood with his duplicate self for company.

Height: 5 foot 9 inches
Weight: 130lbs (9 stones and 4 pounds)
Eyes: Brown

Distinguishing Marks: None.
Strength Level: Snap possesses the normal human strength of a boy his age, height and build who engages in regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Snap has the mutant ability to duplicate himself and objects but he has to have tactile contact with the object in question before his powers will work. Duplicating himself is a much easier task and doesn't tire him and no degredation is obvious.
The downside to this power is that he can only duplicate himself or an object once, and they have a limited life span. After about an hour, they will disappear, allthough if he chooses to do so, he can make his duplicated self disappear again byut it has to be a tactile contact, and that goes for objects too.
Jett also has hightened agility and reflexes.

Abilities/Special Skills: Jett has a knack for games, both physical and mental. He's also great at problem solving.
Weapons Used: None.
 

Personality: Snap can be the most irritating, annoying and obnoxious teen in the world. He loves to wind people up, watch people squirm and generally be a complete bastard. He especially enjoys winding up his team mate, Jaybird, allthough he's layed off her since he failed to help her in an attack.
With regards to this failure, he has been racked with guilt ever since and has yet to muster up the courage to apologise. Allthough Jaybird hasn't prmpted him for it, he senses that she is majorly angry with him and seems pretty unaproachable to him now.
While he comes accross as this annoying adolescent, Jett is actually a highly emotional person and cares deeply for those in his team. He's basically a highly misunderstood individual. With his self esteem being as low as it is, in his mind he thinks that if he left the team tomorrow, no one would care. Which is sadly not far from the truth.

Personal Interests: Snap shares a passion for Professional wrestling with team mate, Mavryk. They go to see them live every time they do a show in England. Snap's favourite is the living legend, veteran, Kurt Angle. Snaps other interests lie in porn, irritating people, computer games and eating peanuts.
History:
Why Snap wasn't in school and who his family were was not apparent for some time. But before that, Snap was a fifteen year old boy clinging to the super heroics of people much older than him. He had fun with the team but an incident involving Jaybird being badly beaten and almost hospitalised changed Snap into a guilt ridden wreck. His mind culdn't stop feeling bad about what happened and his guilt took a strange turn in the form of a bizarre dream he had after being knocked unconscious by Mavryk's bo-staff in a training session. Following this concussion, he was visited by his duplicate self minutes later even though he hadn't called upon him to materialise.
His duplicate self began taunting him and lowering his self confidence and then began to suggest that the owner of the hotel, Rachel Dunaway was behind what happened to Jaybird. He began to spy on Dunaway and even hid in her wardrobe. This resulted in a struggle between Snap and Dunaway which thankfully ended without too much harm being done.
When it was later revealed what had actually happened to Jaybird, Snap felt even worse and when his Grandmother shortly thereafter showed up to take him back to his huge home and rich family, he didn't argue or put up any kind of a fight. He had lost his self confidence and realised that his place wasn't with this team after all. He couldn't bare to even look at them with the guilt and humiliation.
Theodore currently resides in his home in North Ealing and will soon be attending a private school.
