This is the most recent police sketch of Ivan Fox.
Personality: The nature of Ivan's powers, combined with his rather rough upbringing, have given him a strong sense of self-confidence that borders on being smug. While such confidence has helped Ivan out of many a dangerous situation, it has also led him into several unnecessary confrontations. Being a small individual, Ivan also has somewhat of a "Napoleon Complex" that often times forces him into arguments and confrontations with those of a much larger stature. Given his occupation as the operator of a gambling and embezzling racket, he is also a risk taker. Ivan is not trustful of others, resulting in his association with a very small number of loyal friends.
Likes: Sneaking around, baseball, joke telling, California
Dislikes: Crowded areas, trains, New York, football
Strengths: Improvisation, anticipation of others' actions, manipulation, providing distractions
Weaknesses: Overly confrontational, recklessness, paranoia, short temper
Powers/Weapons: Ivan is what is known as a "mutant." Unlike normal human beings, whose bodies change according to the various physical tasks they accomplish, the pain they suffer and the stress they endure, Ivan possesses a body that is devoid of the normal hormone production levels necessary to signal the body to feel the typical exhaustion or pain resulting from such tasks . This means that Ivan's own body operates in an energy efficient manner, allowing for increased agility and reflexes equivalent to that of an Olympic athlete in peak physical condition. Ivan's body structure also increases his mental processing abilities, allowing him to think faster than a normal human and thus "precognate" an enemy's attacks. Ivan's ability to "precognate" an opponent's attacks is not always accurate, however, especially when he is dealing with a superhuman adversary. Like any anticipation, it can be wrong. Against normal human combatants, though, such "precognition" is fairly effective.
Since Ivan's hormone production is far below the normal human level, his pheromone production has increased above the normal human level as a natural defense mechanism; thus Ivan can alter or change others' perception of him. By minimizing the amount of pheromones given off, Ivan can (seemingly) decrease his opponent's awareness of him dramatically, while maximizing his pheromone output allows him to (seemingly) project multiple images of himself. Ivan has also used his pheromones to make it appear as if he has been unharmed by an opponent's attack and that their attack has had no effect (even if it has). It should be noted of course, that those possessing superhuman abilities are obviously less affected by Ivan's pheromones and some may be unaffected at all.
Ivan possesses a large stash of eccentric outfits that he uses in order to enhance the effects of his pheromones. If Ivan decreases his pheromone output and his outfit matches the surrounding environment, for example, Ivan becomes even less noticeable to his enemies. While Ivan is not overly fond of using weaponry, he is an exceptionally skilled knife fighter who is superb with both fighting and throwing knives. Ivan owns a large knife collection that contains everything from kitchen knives and survival knives, to poisoned tipped knives and knives that explode on contact with their target.
History: While Ivan has very few friends even today, as a child he had no one. Ivan Fox was born in Los Angeles, California to a mother whose identity remains unknown and a father (Sam) who was both physically and verbally abusive upon discovering the young boy's mutant abilities. It is unclear whether Ivan's mother or father were responsible for transferring mutant DNA to Ivan; what is clear is that Ivan's abilities demonstrated themselves shortly after he entered elementary school. Ivan's fear of and inability to control his perception-based powers at a young age caused others to "perceive" him as fragile and weak. As a result, Ivan suffered numerous bullyings and beatings at school. Once Ivan returned home, he would receive additional beatings from his father, who "perceived" the boy as the ultimate disappointment. Despite his unfortunate circumstances, Ivan managed to do fairly well grade-wise throughout elementary and middle school.
Upon reaching high-school, Ivan finally realized just how different he was and began to exert a degree of control over his powers. His fellow students also realized how different he was, however, and continued their merciless torment of Ivan throughout his Freshman and Sophomore year. Plagued by verbal and physical abuse at home and abroad, Ivan dropped out of high-school at age 16, attempting to make his own path out on the streets of Los Angeles. Blessed with a natural competitiveness and increasing control over his perception-based powers, Ivan entered into simple street gambling games and chess tournaments, usually winning enough money to feed himself from week to week. It was at this time that Ivan's foray into knife fighting began.
By age 20, Ivan's powers were nearly fully under his control and his gambling winnings had remarkably increased. Using his powers of perception to create a near legendary persona of invincibility in the Los Angeles area, Ivan began to immerse himself in actual gambling and embezzlement operations run by local crime-lords. Proving himself to be a quick study and formidable hand to hand combatant, Ivan rose quickly through the ranks of various organizations until ultimately deciding to embark on a solo venture at age 25.
While Ivan's own gambling racket came under heavy fire from all sides, Ivan's perception powers had increased to the point where he could demand loyalty from the gangsters and drug peddlers he first gambled with as a teenager. Using these thugs as foot soldiers, Ivan began to wage a brutal guerrilla war against the Shakar Syndicate, the leading gambling racket in the Los Angeles and Riverside County areas. Ivan's lightning quick strikes and penchant for killing any enemy personnel of value eventually gave his group the upper hand despite Shakar's numerical superiority.
As of last year, Ivan had assumed leadership of the Shakar Syndicate , adding their resources to that of his own gambling and embezzlement racket, giving him the title of "The L.A. King." Apparently, Ivan's rapid rise to power and revered persona have attracted the interest of outside parties, as Ivan occupies the role of "Pisces" in the Zodiac crime syndicate.
