Weapons: N/A

Powers: Genetic Replication
Nick has a similar ability to his predecessor the ability to mimic and retain the abilities of Superhumans he's exposed too. As of now he is only capable of absorbing ten abilities at a time, and the more powers he gains the weaker each ability becomes in comparison to the original. Unlike Milo who can attain superhuman abilities & attributes through proximity exposure, Nick must make physical contact to utilize his replication. Also replicating too many powerful abilities at the same time can lead to him overloading and even render him comatose. He is capable of sensing people whom he was given genetics from, and can see through them or experience their dreams/nightmares. It is possible he can manifest the abilities from other genetic sequences buried within him overcoming his 10 powers limit. He has no affinity for mystical or supernatural abilities, and has proven unable to replicate them. Although he's been able to simulate a portion of the power cosmic from the Rider, he did so with permission & it's unknown if he's able to forcefully replicate any usage of that power or any cosmic sourced powers without permission or aid from the owner.

Bio: Nick Ventro was created in an joint effort by Terracorp and SHIELD with the aid of Lex Leven. Nick was created to replace Milo or deal with him if he turned Rogue. He was grown artificially growing one year each week, and was exposed to various X Gene's to help him integrate powers into his body. He was also fed images and information about the world to prepare him for his mission. He was later freed by the Shadow Escorts in Niko's attempt to kill him and joined them to escape Terracorp seeking a live outside of the facility. He abandoned them in hopes of locating Milo, and encountered Ben who wanted to recruit him into his mission to conquer earth. Nick was infuriated by the usage of telepathic abilities against him reminding him of Terracorp, and Sandra saved him. He began suffering visions connected to Velon, and helped him recover Catherine and Peter's bodies for a deal he made with Galactus. He learned he had merely been used, and was overpowered by Velon, however he absorbed energies of the power cosmic from the Surfer. With his new-found powers he went on a rage in Manhattan destroying a Terracorp facility determined to exact revenge on everyone who betrayed him.

His rampage didn't stop even despite Dark Serpent and the Worthy's rise and attack on earth. He eventually clashed with Surfer as Dark Serpent gained control of the world, Surfer trained him to control the portion of power cosmic he absorbed from the cosmic sky traveler. Upon gaining control he aided him in the battle against Dark Serpent, meeting up with Sandra again whom he considered one of his few quaintness among st the SXML.  He once again worked  with the team when Surtur began his rampage on earth working with Filipe the leader of the team, and after co-ordination with them to stop the Asgardian's Devil, he went about himself traveling. He felt rejected when Milo didn't reach out to him, and decided to keep his distance, and find his own path while he began dealing with growing depression.

He eventually formed somewhat of a bond with the Ventro Family, especially Milo's children Danny & Amy. Forming a sibling like bond, he moved to the mutant island of Genosha taking up residence there. As a clone of Milo he felt he had much to live up, and spent much of his freetime researching the life of Fusion, his friends & relatives. Eventually he struck up a friendship & later relationship with the clone of Sandra Terracorp developed named Cassandra.  Relishing the freedom he'd been granted by the Shadow Escorts saving him & the SXM taking him in as one of their own, he decided to formulate his own life outside of the one planned for him when he was stuck in Terracorp's test tube.

He participated in helping the heroes in the final battle against Tess & her wicked organization, during which several senseless murders were orchestrated & commited by her & her trecherous company. After their eradication & the fall of her company, he felt a sense of peace & truly felt that he could go on about his life. During the Emperor Fusion Saga, he ended up taking arms against Milo for the betterment of humanity & the world. After the fall of Emperor Fusion & Milo's subsequent death he felt more alone then ever. Despite the choices he made towards the end of his life, he still greatly missed Milo the pain striking him as if he truly lost a father, and did his best to step up to help his siblings, with Marie gone as well, but at least Danny's mother Gwen was still alive. He sought out Gwen to be a mother-figure in Danny's life, only to uncover that with the millions Danny had coerced Milo to giving her she'd gone off traveling the globe & gotten heavilly addicted to drugs.

Nick did his best to help her, only for him to take advantage seemingly going after the Ventro family fortune in pursuit of funding her now drug addled lifestyle. Seeking to help the family Milo left behind, Nick forcibly put distance between the now manipulative birth mother of Danny only agreeing to let her back into his life as she delved into recovery. Later on when him & others were abducted to forcibly participate in a tournmanent along with others across space & time he met Samuel Ventro, Milo's father. During this time he revealed to Samuel how Milo had passed, his tenure as Emperor Fusion & how the revitalization of MRD & other xenophobic anti mutant forces & groups had pushed Milo's transformation. From Samuel he learned more about both his own powers including that he had the capability to forcibly take & remove powers just like him, more about Milo growing up before becoming Emperor Fusion & also more about the complexities of what chose him to become that.

After the arc Nick began to sympathize more and more with Milo. Some attributed this to being his genetic clone & starting to develope a distrust for him believing that if his powers acsended & ever expanded to Milo's level and he shared similar thoughts they'd be in for round two. Still he went on to prove them wrong maintaining his originality, but in the end regretting turning against Milo. His focus is to continue being a hero in his own way, & taking care of his family.
