Jodie FosterBackground: Wintermute is the cousin of Fujimori and applied to Teen Core at the same time. They share the same great-grandfather.

As a child, grew up in Hong Kong, but spent a lot of time in Seoul and parts of India. At the age of ten, Wintermute's family moved to Los Angeles in the U.S.  At seventeen, Wintermute enrolled as a student of Architecture at the University of California, but feeling a sense of responsibility brought on by the full maturation of chi-augmented mutant powers joined Teen Core shortly thereafter.

While not the most powerful of supers, Teen Core recognized that it would be best to turn the amoral Wintermute in to a superhero rather than risk the world gaining another supervillain.  There is anecdotal evidence - but no hard facts - to suggest that Winermute is more than seventeen years old.

Personality/Motivation:  Wintermute is driven by a combination of the thrill of adventure and a sense of philosophical responsiblity to great power responsibly.

Quotes:  "I don't want much out of myself.   I seek to possess inner peace, tranquility and a good right hook."

Powers/Tactics: Wintermute can be intangible, change shape, and is an accomplished martial artist. In ghost form, Wintermute is vulnerable to Chi attacks.

Appearance: When travelling in the U.S. or Europe, Wintermute typically takes the form of Jodie Foster (if she were 5'7" tall and a little bustier). When travelling anywhere else in the world, Wintermute typically looks like Bruce Lee (with a slightly smaller nose and a little more muscle bulk).

Campaign Use:  Wintermute is a member of Teen Core in Brian Wong's Watch Tower Universe.

Creator's Notes:  It just seemed cool.  This character is basically a weak martial artist with super-powers. This character must rely on stealth and surprise as just about any hits will result in being Stunned.
