Breaking news, readers! This very morning, your editor received an anonymous message containing an interview between the always-mysterious “ReVo Squirrel” and what the Squirrel claims are two of the mutants rumoured to be lurking within our own community! Unfortunately, we seem to have a mole in our ranks – someone who doesn’t want this getting out destroyed the video before it went live, but we were able to save a hasty transcript for your “viewing” pleasure!

For this issue, ReVo Squirrel had the pleasure of sitting down with two of Marvel United’s own. That’s right, I stepped into the world of Marvel and came out unscathed! How awesome is that? It was an interesting one, as I got to speak with Fayth Neva, a human ice machine, and Electro, a human conductor.

ReVo Squirrel: Oh, two for one! Yes. ~smirks and pulls out the pad and paper~ So let me ask you, since I know we are in Marvel United, and all, what are you two?

Fayth Neva: You mean aside from insane? Well, I am a mutant – or as Pyro would put it, Elsa the Disney Princess. ~laughs~

Electro: And I am – well, I guess it would be classified as a Meta-Human, but I’m not really sure.

ReVo Squirrel: ~Glancing between the two of you and making notes~ So, you, Fayth are a frozen thing? And you, Electro are what, exactly? A Meta Human? For some of us that don’t know what that is, could we clarify?

Electro: Well, Christian could probably answer that question better than I could, to be honest. I mean, I have a mutated central nervous system which makes me a living electrical capacitor. Basically, I’m able to control electricity in all its forms.

Fayth Neva I am not a frozen thing – you sound like Pyro! I am a mutant who has the ability to, well, basically control the cold. I can do a fair bit within that, since I can generate cold and manipulate it, but heat, it’s not a good thing. Trying to make lasagna in the oven one night caused me to pass out on the floor in the kitchen. Heat, not a good thing.

Christian: Electro is pretty spot on with his explanation of himself; an electrical accident super charged his nervous system to conduct electricity. He is what is referred to as a Human Mutate – that’s the Marvel classification for anything not mutant or alien. I know – broad spectrum, but they were never big on classification outside of mutants. Unlike DC, that uses Meta Human as a broad spectrum for everything including aliens.

ReVo Squirrel: So, OK, I’m sorry – you control the cold, so like you could build a snowman if you wanted to? ~chuckles~ And you, Electro, can be plugged in and made to work electronics? Interesting. So tell me, what do you two do on an given day?

Fayth Neva: Yes, I can create a snowman if I want, but usually out of ice, and it would be called a construct. I can make you a massive ice acorn if you’d like.

Electro: See, I wasn’t sure if I was a Meta or a Mutate, so I basically just used Meta as the catch-all term.

No, I don’t have any ports or outlets to plug into. I’m not a machine. But, yes, I can charge electronic devices and make them work. I can override and control machines, but my control is limited. As for what we do, well, we do what any normal person does, except I don’t think either of us has an actual day job.

Fayth Neva: On a given day? Well, right now, I am being hunted by Serbians. I have a mark on me, so if I get killed some very not nice people get a lot of money. So a given day involves a lot of training, practice, honing mutant skills and powers, and trying to not get shot -whispers- again.

ReVo Squirrel: Oh, interesting! Fayth, you are hunted, and Electro, you are just, um, I don’t know. So, what are some interesting facts about you? Something you would share with readers?

Electro: Well, I once had cancer, but was able to absorb enough electricity to literally burn it out of my system. I also once drained the entire Niagara Power Station of power and caused a blackout along the entire Eastern Seaboard, a sizable chunk of the Midwest, and parts of Southern Canada. I also initiated a mass breakout from Ryker’s Island Prison, aka The Raft.

Fayth Neva: ~taps chin and considers~ Aside from having a massive heat allergy, I am not really all that interesting. I can fly on ice generated wings. I can move faster on ice then on land. I can generate such amounts of cold, I can cause a cold snap which, well, I don’t think Max here likes when I do that. ~laughs~

ReVo Squirrel: So, in this Marvel Universe would that make you, Fayth, a Hero or Villain? And you, Electro, feel more like a Villain than aHero, would that be accurate?

Fayth Neva: Um. I am, yeah, I am a good person trying to not do bad things. However, when it comes to defending my family, the Brotherhood, or Max here, of course, well, gloves off. I will hurt you if you hurt my family or if you try to hurt me.

Electro: Well, it’s true that crime is really all I know, but I’ve often wondered what it would be like to be one of the good guys

ReVo Squirrel: Fayth, tell us what attracts you to Electro. The readers will notice that within the story, you seem like you enjoy him, and so what plays with the attraction? Is it because he’s a bad guy, or his personality, or … ?

Fayth Neva: To be honest, I come from Norway. I have a mark on my back. I was out, about; I ran into Max here. We both thought these undercover cops were after us. We wound up in a store room most of the night. He and I got to talking. He found out about the mark and never took a shot. He had every opportunity and still does, but he doesn’t. I got no friends outside of my Brotherhood family, save for Max here, and while I am sure the fact Magneto is involved plays a part in that, he could have left me to get shot at. He could have left me to be attacked on more then one occasion and he did not. You don’t forget that kind of thing. In a world where you’re an endangered species, any kindness is valued – good, bad, indifferent; plus, he’s cute!

ReVo Squirrel: Oh, so he saved you and helped you. So what about you, Electro? What is there between you and Fayth here? And what is this brotherhood that she speaks of?

Electro: Well, even criminals have a code they won’t violate. I’ve always tried to go out of my way to avoid hurting women and children. I might use them for ransom, but I never intend to hurt them. As for Fayth, she was basically an innocent tossed into hell in a handbasket. When a few Serbians tried attacking her, that pissed me off. Then they tried attacking me, and it annoyed me even more. As for the Brotherhood, I don’t know much about it myself. Magneto once approached me about joining, but I turned him down. Fayth could probably answer that question better than I could.

ReVo Squirrel: ~glances to you~ So this brotherhood – what exactly is that? And can anyone join, or is it strictly ruled?

Fayth Neva: Magneto’s the boss. He is very protective of his family. He decides who’s in and who is not. In fact, he recruited me. He wants to help mutants. Magneto will do anything to protect the brotherhood if one of us is in danger. ~yeah nice safe answer that won’t get her killed~

ReVo Squirrel: So in otherwords, if I’m catching this, it’s a secret society that is ran by this Magneto, within this world. Interesting. OK, I’m going to cut this short. Any words you would want to tell our readers?

Electro: There’s nothing secret about the Brotherhood of Mutants. They’re very publicly known.

Fayth Neva: Just the things we do in the Brotherhood aren’t as advertised *nods lots*
