Edzel Hasanov (Earth-11052)

{{Character Template|Powers = {{Official Power Grid|Intelligence = 2|Strength = 3|Speed = 2|Durability = 3|Energy Projection = 5|Fighting Skills = 5|Reference = https://xmen-originals.wikia.com/wiki/Edzel_Hasanov_(Earth-11052)}} Edzel is an Omega-level mutant. He possesses a wide range of umbrakinetic abilities that were only amplified through genetic experimentation.
 * Umbrakinesis: At a young age, he developed umbrakinesis, the ability to manipulate darkness. He can control shadows with his thoughts. His emotions have also been known to affect the shadows around him. After being experimented on, the range of his powers massively increased. The full extent of which is currently unknown, but researchers at Project MoMD estimate he has the potential to control shadows from anywhere on Earth at any given time.
 * Shadow Form: In his shadow form, Edzel is essentially a shadow. He can will his body, along with anything he is touching, to temporarily lose its physical form and become darkness itself. After being experimented on, his ability to bring objects and people into shadow form was no longer limited by distance.
 * Shadowmorphing: Similar to shapeshifting, shadowmorphing allows Edzel to change his general appearance; however, it can only be done while he is in his shadow form. He can also shadowmorph anything or anyone brought into shadow form.
 * Shadow-cloaking Edzel is able to conceal himself using shadows. He can do this by entering his shadow form or by drawing darkness towards him. Essentially anything can be shadow-cloaked, as Edzel has hidden entire building with his powers.
 * Shadow Travel: When Edzel is in his shadow form, he can become one with nearby shadows. He can then choose to exit the shadow from any location that the shadow touches. His shadow travel doesn't allow him to travel very far during the day, because the shadows have a smaller reach.
 * Shadow Absorption: While Edzel can draw shadows towards himself, he can also withhold those shadows for an unlimited time.
 * Shadow Blasts: Like shadow absorption, Edzel can also release shadows he has absorbed as a series of blasts.
 * Shadow Solidification: Edzel can give darkness a solid form. He can also move and manipulate darkness while still in a solid form.
 * Phasing/Intangibility: While in his shadow form, Edzel is completely intangible. He cannot be touched or physically manipulated in any way. Because of this, he has to keep the bottoms of his feet solid, so that he doesn't phase through the ground. He can also pass through walls or objects, along with anything he brought into his shadow form with him.
 * Shadow Weapons/Shields: Edzel can manipulate shadows into the shape of any weapon and then solidify them. This isn't exclusive to weapons; however, he most notably uses this ability to create blades and protective barriers.
 * Flight: In his shadow form, Edzel can create wings for himself out of shadows. This takes up more energy, so it is usually only seen during times he has lost control over his powers.

Edzel was born in Kuala Lumpur, where he had an uneventful early childhood. He was close with his father, but his relationship with his older brother was strained. His family moved to the United States when Edzel turned six. He ended up attending school in Upstate New York, where he made a few childhood friends. When he was nine, he got into an argument with his brother. Edzel's anger got the best of him, and he let out a blast of darkness. It was the first time his powers had emerged.

At the time, the general public was still unaware that mutants existed. Edzel's parents thought he was contagious and forced him to wear a mask from then on. Regardless, he continued going to school. It wasn't until a year later that he witnessed his powers again. Without warning, he lost control, and his powers consumed the entire school in darkness. Police officers arrived at the scene, but Edzel, with no control over his powers, flipped the police cruisers surrounding the area. When word of the situation got out, the government was quick to intervene. Edzel was tranquilised and transported to a facility where DARPA was working on the Mutants of Mass Destruction Project (also known as Project MoMD). He never saw his family again.

As part of Project MoMD, Edzel was experimented on. Outside of testing, he was kept in a room made entirely of light sources, so that he was unable to use his powers to escape. Scientists attempted to replicate his abilities using eugenics, but when all of their attempts failed, they decided to start training him as a weapon. He went through ruthless exercises and was forced to fight other mutant children.

X-Men
After five years, Edzel was rescued from the facility by Charles Xavier, Wolverine, and Storm. They had been in the process of finding young mutants, and when Cerebro detected Edzel's power, rescuing him became a priority. He was seen as a growing threat in the hands of the government.

Edzel and six other mutants were freed from the facility. Most were reunited with their families, but Edzel stayed with the X-Men. While he was captive, his family had moved to another state and lived their lives as though he never existed. The Professor requested that Edzel enrol in his school so that he could be trained and monitored. He began to live in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, along with Nightcrawler and Shadowcat, who had already been found by Cerebro. But while the other students were allowed to come and go, and were all students at Bayville High School, Edzel wasn't allowed to leave the X-Mansion. He was told that he was too dangerous, so Edzel agreed to stay, where the Professor personally worked with him to control his powers.

Eventually, Storm's nephew, Spike joined Xavier's school. Edzel was watching them train in the Danger Room one day when Shadowcat interrupted. She told Spike that there was a last-minute basketball game at the school. Intrigued, and feeling left out, Edzel decided to sneak out and watch the game in secret. But when he arrived, Spike was missing. He went out to look for him and came across Jean Grey using her telekinesis to keep a boy, Quicksilver, suspended in the air. Edzel rushed to the boy's aid, making sure to stay hidden. He brought himself and Quicksilver into shadow form, making it so neither of them could be touched telekinetically. Edzel convinced Quicksilver to get away, and the two of them escaped from the X-Men.

Quicksilver ended up joining the Brotherhood while Edzel stayed with the X-Men. The two of them became friends despite being on opposing teams. Quicksilver would occasionally even sneak Edzel out of the X-Mansion to hang out. After months of friendship, they asked the Professor to let Edzel attend Bayville High School. The Professor agreed on the condition that Edzel wouldn't use his powers outside of the Danger Room.

For the most part, Edzel enjoyed his time at school; however, he was often attacked by the Brotherhood and had to rely on Quicksilver to protect him. Feeling guilty, he decided to start protecting himself—doing his best to limit his powers—but he had unknowingly attracted the attention of both Mystique and Olivia Trask. Mystique told the Brotherhood to win Edzel over to their side, and Olivia had a plan of her own. She created a rift between Edzel and Quicksilver, as the latter suspected Olivia's ill intentions immediately. When she had Edzel's trust, she had him meet her in the desert, where she sedated him, and he was kidnapped by a sentinel. He was taken to Genosha and stayed there until he was finally freed by the X-Men, led by Quicksilver, who had secretly followed Olivia and Edzel into the desert, witnessing the abduction. And although he wasn't held captive long, the experience was traumatising enough that Edzel dropped out of school and stopped using his powers entirely.

Runaways
Quicksilver would sometimes take Edzel to different parts of the country. While in LA, they came across the Runaways. Quicksilver disliked them immediately; however, Edzel wanted to stay with them in case they needed help. He also told them to call him if they ever needed anything. Despite this, he mostly acted as a passive observer. It wasn't until they were all stuck in a life-or-death scenario that Edzel stepped in. He fought off their pursuers and then used shadow travel to bring everyone back to the Runaways' hideout. Nico Minoru, one of the Runaways, decided to try out one of her spells while they waited. The spell displayed the future to everyone, where a Civil War is taking place. In the vision, Quicksilver is mortally wounded and eventually dies. Edzel, grief-stricken, kills everyone who participated in the war, which mostly consisted of heroes.

After seeing this glimpse of the future, Edzel became obsessed with keeping Quicksilver alive, to avoid the events they saw take place. He started to use his powers again, but only to keep Quicksilver safe.

Avengers
Quicksilver graduated and joined the West Coast Avengers. Edzel decided to join along with him. They were happy to have someone with his powers, but issues soon started to arise. Edzel often refused to co-operate with anyone, sometimes even endangering the lives of his teammates in favour of protecting Quicksilver. He was officially removed from the roster; however, that didn't stop him from accompanying them on missions and loitering around the Avengers Compound. Captain America asked him to uninvolve himself from Avengers business, but he refused. Once Quicksilver retired, they both moved to Rome.

Inhumans
Edzel kept his location a secret to ensure the safety of both him and Quicksilver. They lived a peaceful life for years until Ulysses Cain had a prophetic vision. He saw a future where Edzel destroyed the planet by turning the Earth's layers into intangible darkness, leaving only the core. Ulysses and the Inhumans warned the Avengers about the vision, and all parties began tracking Edzel down.

The Inhumans had Caliban locate Edzel, who explained that he simply wanted to be left alone and leave the life of heroics. Crystal, the Inhuman princess, offered him solitude and refuge in New Attilan. He agreed to go as long as Quicksilver could stay on Attilan with him.|Relatives = Tural Hasanov (father) Adelia Kesuma (mother) Alistair Hasanov (brother) |BaseOfOperations = New Attilan|Transportation = For short distances, Edzel will often use shadow travel. For longer distances, he can only use his shadow travel at night or on overcast days. When he is unable to use shadow travel, he will enter his shadow form, which is weightless, and attach himself to Quicksilver, who will transport them both.|Abilities = *Enhanced Vision: Edzel's vision is enhanced due to the fact that he has more cone cells than the average human. He can essentially see regardless of how dark it is.
 * Combat Training: Edzel was trained to be a government weapon, so he excels at most combat styles. He is considered a master at Kali, a Filipino martial art that utilises bladed weapons.
 * Multilingualism: Edzel is fluent in Malay, Chinese, and English.
 * Enhanced Durability: Due to his training and experimentation, Edzel is able to withstand more damage than the average person.|Weaknesses = *Light: Edzel cannot generate darkness. He can only manipulate existing darkness. If he is removed from darkness entirely, he will be powerless.
 * Quicksilver: He developed an obsession with protecting Quicksilver, so he is unable to do anything that would lead to Quicksilver's harm.
 * Strategy: His obsession has often resulted in irrationality. He is quick to act, and terrible at strategy.|Trivia = *His first alias, Umbrasanov, was a combination of his surname and the prefix 'umbra' meaning 'shade' or 'shadow.'
 * He has a habit of rolling his shoulders and playing with his right ear.
 * His current alias combines the word 'illumination' with the word 'null,' which roughly means 'no illumination' or 'void of light.'|Quote = I didn't ask to have these powers. I would gladly give them up if it meant I could live a normal life. But if having these powers means I can keep him safe, then so be it. I won't lose him, even if it means destroying the world and everything in it.|Weapons=Edzel most often uses shadow weapons and prefers blades.|Strength=Edzel is capable of lifting over 300 lbs.|Notes=*Edzel was first created in 2014.|Citizenship2= American|First=Mutant Crush|CustomLabel=Ethnicity|Custom=Azerbaijani, Malaysian|Links= |Image=Edzel.png|Equipment=In order to conceal his identity, Edzel usually wears a hooded cloak.
