Strength Level: Trump possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Cody has the ability to negate the powers of other mutants. By charging a solid object with dysergistic energy and hurling it at his target, he is capable of completely shutting off an individual’s access to their mutant power. The length of the negation depends on the person’s resilience and the size of the dysergistic charge they absorb. In addition, Cody also has uncanny gymnastic skills and is extremely agile and nimble. He is capable of contorting his body into seemingly impossible positions - a feat he utilizes to utmost skill when thieving.
Abilities/Special Skills: Although he is not a member, Trump has been trained to work in the Thieves Guild with all the skills that suggests. He is well versed in picking locks and prides himself on his ability to enter and leave a room unnoticed. He is an accomplished tracker, and is nearly unparalleled in the use of blades as defensive weapons. He is also fluent in both the Cajun form of French and English.
Weapons Used: Trump’s father has made sure his children are well able to defend themselves so Trump is a master of the staff like his father. He also has very few peers with thrown weaponry, specifically knives and small blades.
Personality: Although he is extremely likeable and has enough charisma for three people, Cody is extremely vain. He is obsessed with his appearance and is constantly primping and preening. He is obsessive/compulsive about cleanliness, and loathes getting dirty. At times he feels like he is in over his head as a member of Neo-X. Everyone else seems so incredibly intelligent, smart, and powerful, that he sometimes feels outclassed and overshadowed. Some people consider him to be stupid or mentally slow because of his thick Cajun accent, which is mingled with a dash of a Southern drawl. As a result, he gets unfairly teased a lot by other children. The fact is Cody is relatively bright, but hides the fact that his reading skills are lacking and probably close to a fifth or sixth grade level. It was slightly prior to the formation of Neo-X that he was diagnosed as being mildly dyslexic.
Personal Interests: Trump loves Cajun food and his motto is: The hotter, the better. He has an affinity for spicy crawfish gumbo, and can’t resist his sweet tooth’s demand for an occasional beignet. He’s handy in the kitchen and loves to prepare Gourmet Cajun Meals.
History: Cody has spent much of his life in both his sister’s and his father’s shadow. Jeanette is a master thief, and though Cody is quite adept in his own right, he has no desire to become a professional thief. At the same time, his father’s legend precedes him, and he feels that he can never live up to that image. His outward vanity masks an inner desire to be loved and accepted by his father. Their relationship has become strained and Cody feels like a total failure. He agreed to stay on with Neo-X as an excuse to get out of the house and away from the bickering at home.
