#mr sensitive

The first of my three favorite characters from X-Force/X-Statix!

Guy Smith - Mr. Sensitive/The Orphan

He's already got antennae on his normal design, so some sort of invertebrate seemed to fit

And his power revolves around being extremely hypersenstive to every stimulus in his environment, so a slug was just perfect

I went with a leopard slug specifically because he has these kind of scabby markings all over him, which reminded me of the spots on leopard slugs. I had those guys all over my front yard in the spring as a kid

I read the whole X-Statix run recently and was way more endeared to it than I expected to be. It's a very satirical parody of X-Men comics but it gets surprisingly heartfelt deeper in? Guy was probably my fave from the whole run, both for his personality and design.

So phone reception is wonky in the Sanctum because of the auras living there, I see. This is actually super interesting and I’m using it for future fanfic references haha.
