Height: 5'7
Weight: 291 lbs
Identity: Secret
Species: Homo superior
Race: Caucasian
Personality:
Ledge was a once a thief, dishonest and uncaring towards anything because he believed his mutant powers made him invulnerable and invincible. His family had left him, and this only contributed to his nihilist and wild nature. His gang was all he had. This very fact is what provoked his move towards heroism. Pursuing Zulan for vengeance against killings done against his gang, he became involved with the group of heroes lead by Yamairo who would later become the Shadow X-Men. However, his involvement eventually lead to the realization that he wasn't invincible.
After dealing with this, and being given an upgrade in his powers, he joined the SXM and became one of their most prominent members, being know as the team's daredevil and loose cannon. The events of the Soul Tournament only contributed to this, as he was determined to not be controlled by others.
Over time, mutant persecution and hatred has lead to him become much more willing to use the same methods their enemies use, and this was the determining factor in his recruitment for the X-Force, the killing squad which acted in the shadows. Since then he's become somewhat stoic, but still easily angered and imposing, and shares the same mentality on crime as Keel, albeit in a much more forgiving manner

Weapons and Equipment:
Adamantium laced Skeleton:
His entire skeleton, including his claws, have been laced with the rare metal adamantium. His skeleton his thus nearly unbreakable, and his claws can cut through anything, with the exception of adamantium itself.

Powers:
Ledge possess a healing factor that grants him several powers.

-Rapid Cellular Regeneration: Ledge's primary power, he can spontaneously regenerate any tissue in his body. His only weak spot is to be stabbed in the back of the spine, stopping the ability itself. His blood is capable of healing anything injury or sickness and capable of resurrecting the dead, provided them haven't been dead for too long. His RCR also slows down his aging process. While he looks very young, he is actually a chronological senior citizen.

--Foreign Chemical Immunity: Ledge's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, except in massive doses. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated from alcohol.

--Immunity To Disease: Ledge's highly efficient immune system, which is part of his accelerated healing factor, renders him immune against all known Earthly diseases and infections.

--Super humanly acute senses: His sense have likewise developed beyond human levels, and he is able to track down individuals by smell alone, even for miles. He can also hear sounds normal humans can't, and he can see in near total darkness.

--Superhuman Strength: Ledge's Mutant Healing Factor enables him to push his muscles beyond the natural limits of the human body without injury, granting him some degree of superhuman strength. His natural strength is augmented by the demand placed on his musculature due to the presence of over 100 pounds of Adamantium bonded to his skeleton, which also removes the natural limitations of the human skeletal structure by allowing him to lift weights that would damage a human skeleton. Due to having increased physical attributes as a result of his mother he's far stronger then Daken, and Wolverine ever where, and all his physical attributes are boosted beyond there own.

--Superhuman Stamina: Ledge's mutant healing factor grants him high immunity against lactic acid and other fatigue toxins generated by his muscles during physical activity.

-Phermone Manipulation: Being the son of Daken he possesses the same Pheromone manipulation, and the limitations of this power are still unknown. Ledge has the ability to manipulate his pheromones for the purpose of suppressing his own scent to such a degree that even Wolverine's senses are unable to detect him. He can also use his pheromones to manipulate the emotional state and sensory perceptions of other beings. He has been known to use this power to instill intense fear, happiness, depression, and a false sense of security to other beings. This allows him to seemingly appear where enemies can't see him, enabling him to inflect damage before an opponent realizes it. Such tactics give opponents the belief that he can either teleport or move at superhuman speeds, though he stated during his fight with Deadpool that he doesn't possess either of those powers. His pheromone powers appear to be physical in nature, not psionic. He can even use this against the Spider Clan's spider sense ability, and  He also appears to have great knowledge as to the capabilities of pheromones in general as well as their taste and smell. In conjunction with his enhanced senses and knowledge of pheromones, he can expertly judge the emotional/physical state of those around him, both animal and human. He can even effect the sensory perception of others, e.g. sexual attraction, psychotic rage, rational thinking, and more.

-Telepathic Immunity: Like his father, and grandfather he has a strong resistance to telepathy. He has inherited his father's trap that is for telepaths or any who go to 'far' into his mind leaving them trapped, similar to Cyclop's black box technique. His mind is also capable of healing mental damage such as being rendered comatose, psioninc nightmares or even erased memories, and his healing state is so advanced he can do near instantly while before it took time.

-Gravity Manipulation: Being the son of Moonstone he has control over gravity like her although it's uncontrolled, and he has focused on his physical powers. His powers are not as potent as hers as he's not actually bonded with the Kree stone that bonded with her nervous system, but he can affect gravity on massive levels increasing or decreasing it at will. He can also fly, grant himself intangibility, and his physical attributes are increased more so due to her powers. He can release powerful lasers, and blinding flashes of light. He also has the potential to manipulate Gravitational Forces letting him control move and manipulate matter, force field generation, Generation of mini black holes, and formation of dimensional rifts.

-He also possesses six bone claws, three in each hand, that extend from his wrist into the back of his hand. While they extend, he needs to keep his wrists straight, but after, they are completely in his hand, allowing for free wrist movement. They aren't natural, and were an induced mutation caused by Weapon X, mimicking the dead hero of the former generation James Howlett. They are coated in Admantium allowing him to pierce and move through most substances with ease, and there indestructible.
