Description So, in the New Mutants' family, I'd like the complete make-over!

That's right, I've completely 'recast' Doug Ramsay, because, when your power is to be able to decypher any language, it basically doesn't matter what you look like, and Doug's look in canon was bland as hell. I also wanted a bit more diversity in my characters.
Also, I've boosted a bit of his abilities, and made him not only a living rosetta stone, but also a super genius.

So, in my continuity, Doug is the bright science nerd that makes his home in the labs and the school, and begins working on the various Nobel prizes he's probably going to get, along the years. He doesn't step out on the field often, unless they need a hacker. Because, let's be honest, he would be a sitting duck, out there. So, yeah, he's the New Mutants' 'guy in a chair', but he's still a very important part of the heart of the team.

Done on paper, then Photoshop CS3 and Painter 12.

Would Warlock eventually be making his way into this iteration?

For the moment, it's not in the cards, because Warlock is an alien, and they wouldn't fit in my storyline. I'm considering making Warlock a member of the Morlock community, which would explain his outlandish behaviour. Another option would be to play the 'Danger' card and turn Warlock into a 'mutated' AI, but that's a bit far-fetched.
You did get me to give it a thought, though. Nonetheless, if he shows up, it will be as a background character.

I see. I only asked because communicating with Warlock and the budding bromance (romance?) that follows is like the one thing Doug has in the comics. That and the fans demanding he be killed for not having a cool power (or for being gay, it's probably either/or)

I admit I used some elements of Prodigy, but I kept him nerdy, while David is not that nerdy. Also, I wanted to keep Doug in the story because I mostly deal with Sam and Dani's generation.
Consider him a merge of Cypher and Prodigy.
