For the most part he dresses casually in jeans and plain t-shirts.  There are many times however that James will go without a shirt when outdoors. He also has ceremonial garb that he will wear on special occasions. While he might wear regular shoes and boots while out and about, James prefers to wear moccasins at the school.<br/><br/>James has a tendency to change his hair on a whim. Currently it’s straight and shoulder length.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Who they are</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>When he was a teenager James was a brash and macho young man. However, he was also unusually mature for a teenager. Like his brother John, he was mostly a good man, putting him at odds with the more toxic members of the Brotherhood.<br/><br/>Also like his brother, he was competitive and felt a need to prove himself as a warrior and a man. However, he lacked John’s depressive tendencies.<br/><br/>Now though James Proudstar is a rock. He is steady, stable, unwavering in his determination and resolve. He always seems to know where he is going and how to get there. Once having decided on a goal, he lets nothing and no one stand in his way. However he still has that competitive streak that comes out from time to time.<br/><br/>James believes that Charles Xavier is an honorable man, however he also sees that being too gentle won’t help their cause either. He believes that they need to stand up for themselves. A one time member of the Brotherhood he can understand Magneto’s frustration that he feels from time to time himself. Warpath believes that mutants should come first as no one else will take care of them. However he also believes that the Brotherhood is going too far, as a war would not benefit either side.<br/><br/>He looks upon the Governments actions with equal parts of anger and sadness. The anger comes from the fact that how many families get ripped apart by the actions of the U.S. Government. The sadness he feels as he watches history repeats itself, only this time its mutants instead of the Native American tribes.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>James Proudstar was born on the Apache reservation in Camp Verde, Arizona. As a young boy he idolized his older brother, John Proudstar, and when John returned from the Marines, James was overjoyed to see him again. Unfortunately, their mother revealed to the family that she had cancer, prompting a visit to the amusement park, where James had his future told to him, by none other than Destiny, though he thought that she was a fraud. Later James secretly followed John when his brother infiltrated Arroyo Labs, the clinic that was running tests on the people of the reservation and treating them for cancer. James was discovered by Dr. Edwin Martynec, who revealed he was a mutant werewolf. The two brothers learned that Dr. Martynec was faking cancer diagnoses, so he could irradiate his patients and observe the results.<br/><br/>His brother John was soon recruited to join the X-Men, where he was killed on one of the team’s first missions. Just before his brother’s funeral in the Western Dessert, James stole his brother’s body and gave him a traditional Apache Warrior’s funeral rite. He blamed the X-Men for his brother’s death and promised to kill their founder Charles Xavier.<br/><br/>Soon after James manifested his own powers, which were similar to his brothers’. He then joined Magneto’s Brotherhood taking up the codename of Thunderbird in honor of his brother and began to learn his powers while fighting for mutant rights. Later James donned his brother’s old uniform and kidnapped one of the X-Men, to draw the team back to Cheyenne Mountain, where his brother had been killed. Everything was going just as planned, but at the last second, James couldn’t bring himself to kill Xavier. Professor Xavier convinced James that his brother in fact had died a hero’s death, and Thunderbird let them all go calling Xavier an honorable man. However James would learn later that Xavier had figured out what this had all been about earlier. He had the X-Men play along with James’ plan in order to talk and convince James to do things another way. While offered a position in the X-Men, James refused deciding to return home to the reservation.<br/><br/>Magneto met with James seeing if he would return to the Brotherhood, but he refused as he was enjoying life on the reservation. However when James returned home, he found that his entire tribe had been murdered. That drove him back to the Brotherhood and he took on the new codename of Warpath as he didn’t want to disgrace his brother’s old codename with his actions. Eventually James realized his mistake and broke away from the Brotherhood and truly joined the school. It was here that James learned that he was limiting himself to his brother’s power levels. He could lift weights that his brother couldn’t, his senses were sharper then ever, he was able to run as fast as any car and even climb walls by digging his fingers into the concrete.<br/><br/>James also learned that he is able to fly, but rarely used it in the beginning as he was embarrassed. Life went on and his powers peaked along with the muscles of his body. Though the surprises wouldn’t stop for him as during a trip to visit the grave of his brother, he was attacked by a demon bear. In facing this bear James is determined to die as a true Apache warrior, but instead reconnects with his tribe and releases the trapped spirits. He now returns to the mansion to continue his fight…<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Class:</strong>Alpha<br/><br/><strong>Superhuman Strength:</strong>Warpath possesses superhuman strength that has fluctuated over the years. When he first joined the Brotherhood as a teenager, James strength was about the same as his brothers, able to lift about 2 tons. He grew in height, muscle mass and strength as he grew older. Currently James has peaked and can lift around 90 tons.<br/><br/><strong>Superhuman Speed:</strong>Despite his great size, Warpath is able to run and move at speeds much greater than even the finest human athlete. At his peak, James is capable of running at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.<br/><br/><strong>Superhuman Stamina:</strong>Warpath’s physical stamina is such that he possesses far greater stamina than any ordinary human and can exert himself at his peak for about 24 hours, before fatigue begins to impair him.<br/><br/><strong>Superhuman Durability:</strong>His body is harder and more resistant to certain types of injury than an ordinary human. For instance, he can withstand the force generated by great impacts. Warpath can withstand impact forces, such as falling several stories, being hit by certain level energy blasts, and being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human. James can withstand high caliber bullets, exposures to temperature extremes, vastly powerful energy blasts, and great impact forces such as being repeatedly punched by superhumanly strong people without being hurt.<br/><br/><strong>Superhuman Agility:</strong>Warpath’s agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.<br/><br/><strong>Superhuman Reflexes:</strong>Warpath’s reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete. He is even capable of evading gunfire.<br/><br/><strong>Superhumanly Acute Senses:</strong>Warpath’s senses of hearing and sight are enhanced to capabilities beyond that of an ordinary human. He is able to see, with perfect clarity, at much greater distances than an ordinary human. He retains this clarity, even in near total darkness. His hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to hear sounds that ordinary humans can’t and sounds that they can detect but at much greater distances.<br/><br/><strong>Flight:</strong>Warpath is able to propel himself through the air without any aid. The exact limit of his flight speed is unknown, but it is less then the speed of sound. James stopped using this for awhile as he was embarrassed by it, but started once again during the fight with the demon bear.<br/><br/><strong>Apache Shaman Abilities:</strong>These activated while fighting the demon bear. He is capable of seeing creature’s wounds and the resulting spirit energy when it’s destroyed.<br/><br/><strong>Vibranium Knives:</strong>Warpath wields two large Vibranium Knives, given to him by Magneto. The knives are perfectly weighted so that they are also good for throwing. James has practiced with them extensively since they were given to him, becoming quite skilled in their use.<br/><br/>He is never without his blades in battle. He has incorporated his knives into his fighting style and they are almost always at hand. Warpath also is skilled in using his blades in non-lethal methods, while using the blades against machines and other weapons.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Flaws or Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong>No healing:</strong>While difficult to overpower Warpath’s durability, it’s not impossible. When this happens James has no enhanced healing to speak of and will recover at the same rate as any ordinary human with the same type of injury.<br/><br/><strong>Only Human:</strong>Like wise Warpath is able to be killed, it just takes more effort to pull the deed off. It’s also possible for James to catch certain types of sicknesses like colds or the flu, it would be unknown if being sick has an effect on his powers however.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Vengeful:</strong>James has yet to get over the murder of his entire tribe. While he puts on a brave face, if Warpath found those responsible even Xavier would have problems trying to keep him from killing them.<br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span><br/><br/>Warpath is a formidable combatant, both armed and unarmed. He is also an expert tracker and hunter, even without the aid of his superhuman senses. He is also trained in the use of a bo staff, though he doesn’t use it.<br/><br/>James is also trained in different fighting styles: His brother John trained him in classic Marine Line training and the modern MCMAP. While in the Brotherhood he trained in Maui Thai and when younger on the reservation he was trained as an Apache Warrior, as well as wrestling.<br/><br/>
