Emma deLauro [seasons 1-2], played by Lauren Lee Smith
(Dead end of Series 2)
Powers: Mind Reading & Psychic Ball
Emma grew up in Seattle, Washington. Her parents were two hippy "flakes" who taught her a respect for the spiritual and a distrust of mechanical things. She first discovered her psionic abilities at the age of five when she was able to find her parents telempathically after they had lost her at a rock concert. She was 10 when her parents left her, and she was transferred to a foster home. Emma attended Sloman High School with fellow psionic Michelle Bigelow. She and Michelle would go shopping together, play pranks on the local restaurant owner, steal furniture from the principal's office, and have long philosophical debates. Emma occasionally used her powers to make dates jump through hoops for her, and learned to speak Finnish from a foreign exchange student she dated in high school. After graduation, she lost touch with Michelle and worked at a boutique selling Misses and Petites until the GSA found her and chased her into the arms of Mutant X. During her time with the team, the youngest member of Mutant X learned to hone her telempathic gifts and expand to telepathy, mind control, illusions, and precognition. She developed her psionic blast at the end of her first year, and her personality darkened as she became more powerful and less trusting of Adam Kane. Emma was killed in an explosion at Shalimar Fox's father's plant, Naxxcon. |
