__**Jorge Ramirez (Aftershock) **__




 * History **

Jorge Ramirez was a popular Hispanic student at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. His charisma and intelligence lead him to being promoted to prefect in his junior year. After a successful junior year where he trained in the Danger Room and gained the codename Aftershock, he became Head Boy in his senior year. When the Travelers arrived and blasted the teachers and most of the seniors into some sort of coma, Jorge was pressured by his mother to leave the school and return home. Though begged by his fellow students to remain, he gave in to his mother and left the school.

Later, Jorge attended Hunter College in New York City and double-majored in education and pre-law. He worked as a teaching assistant in a law class and interned with a legal firm. When an opening appeared in the Academy X teaching staff, Jorge applied for the position.


 * Powers **

Jorge has the psionic ability to create tremors in the earth by projecting waves of seismic energy. These tremors can cause people to trip and fall. Jorge can vary the intensity of the tremors he causes, from a minor shake to a large quake. The limit to the area that he can affect is as yet unknown, as is the maximum intensity of the quakes that he can cause. The seismic energy can also be focused against a person or inanimate objects, causing damage.
