An X-Men in training, Mina's ability is to completely turn her person invisible, including the clothes she's wearing or whatever she's holding. When she was younger, her parents were killed by robbers, which triggered both the activation of her x-gene as well as her anger toward ignorant humans. Since she's been at the school for years, she's developed particularly strong relationships with Professors Scott and Jean, who both serve as her mentors. Her best friends are Ryan and Aiden, and Hope when she comes along.

Dylan arrives at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters the same weekend that Hope does, making them connect instantly as they begin training together.

He's flirty and foreign, making him the newest catch of the X-mansion.
