Gabriel Ashlocke (A.K.A. Patient Zero, Subject 1.0)



Mutant Type: Elemental (energy/electrical), Feral (feline), Molecular (force-fields/intangible), Psionic (telepathic/illusionist/telekinetic)

First Appearance: "A Breed Apart"

Quote: You don't understand. I was born to rule. It's the ones who get in my way who die.

Details: The psychopath Gabriel was the first and most powerful child of Genomex. Born without a conscience, his aggression spiraled out of control until 1978, when his parents returned the 10-year-old to Genomex for Adam Kane to make him more human. But Adam overlooked a weakness in Gabriel's DNA, and his treatment only made him worse. Gabriel murdered his parents six months later. Adam and Mason Eckhart placed Gabriel in a stasis pod where he remained for 25 years until his release by GS agent Morgan Fortier. He and his group of loyal mutants, the Links, formed an organization called The Strand, bent on world domination. Gabriel placed Mason Eckhart in a pod and took over Genomex. He vowed revenge upon Adam, while searching in vain for methods of stabilizing his DNA. Gabriel's explosive cellular breakdown soon caused his death, but not before he had impregnated one of The Links, Kim. Prior to his death, he set into motion the eventual creation of his successor, The Child.

First Mutant's bio

The psychopath new mutant Gabriel Ashlocke was the first and most powerful child of Genomex created. Otherwise known as Patient Zero, Gabriel possessed abilities of all four new mutant types: feline feral, gravitative/force-field/intangible molecular, electrical/energy elemental, and telepathic/illusionist psionic. Born without a conscience, little Gabriel's aggressive tendencies quickly spiraled out of control. On October 13th 1978, Gabriel's parents brought the 10-year-old Gabriel back to Genomex so that Adam Kane could make him more human by reducing his abilities. But Adam had unfortunately overlooked a weakness in strand 19 Gabriel's DNA, and his treatment only caused further fragmenting in Gabriel's genetic structure. Gabriel murdered his parents six months later. In order to protect the world from his malignant potential, Adam and Mason Eckhart placed Gabriel in a pod where he remained for 25 years until he was released by ex-GS agent Morgan Fortier. He and his group of loyal new mutants, The Links, formed an organization bend on world domination called The Strand. With the help of Dr. Kenneth Harrison, Gabriel placed Mason in a stasis pod and took over Genomex headquarters. He then turned his vengeance sights upon Adam and Mutant X, while searching in vain for methods of stabilizing his DNA. His dramatic cellular breakdown quickly led to his explosive death, but not before he had impregnated one of The Links, Kim. Prior to his death, he set into motion the eventual creation of his successor, The Child.

Gabriel trivia: Gabriel suffers from a hacking cough, the result of smoking at an early age.


Quotes from Gabriel:

~ I've been in a Genomex-induced coma my entire adult life. I'll get all the rest I need when I'm dead.

~ I'm so thankful to all of you. For keeping my dream alive. Eckhart has punished us by invading our bodies and our minds. Now they want to use us a weapons of destruction against our own kind. Not here to tell anyone--average or gifted--how to live. I'm talking about a fellowship of like-minded friends. No GSA power trips, no Mutant X invisibility. Just life as it was meant to be lived.

~ Kelly: We have to learn to live alongside the average man and woman. Gabriel: I think it's time the average man and women learned to live alongside us.

~ Something tells me my reputation precedes me.

~ I love it when dreams come true.

~ Think of it as a chance to catch up on some much needed rest and a chance to spend eternity regretting everything.

~ What better place to start conquering the world from than Genomex?

~ You don’t understand. I was born to rule. It’s the ones who get in my way who die.

~ You went behind my back. And let’s face it. In any relationship, trust is everything.

~ Who the hell do you think you’re dealing with? The ten year old boy you used to slap into a box?

~ There are days when I wish I had more patience.

~ I was your one big mistake. And now you’re gonna die knowing I’m gonna live on...and on...and on. And everything I do, I’ll do in your memory.

~ I hate it when people say no to me.

~ I’m sorry. Adam is busy right now. But you can leave a message after the beep. Beeep.

~ You can’t afford too many more failures, Adam. Hell, even Dr. Frankenstein had a better track record.

~ We have built something here the world has never seen before. We have a power that never existed before. Love, devotion, and a loyalty to our own kind that society couldn’t even dream of. You are the chosen ones. You are the ones that are gonna reach out there and grab the destiny that was built inside your genetic structure. Because the ones that are running it now, well they’re only about greed and votes and weakness. But we’re gonna change all that. Because it’s our turn in the big chair. No more running and hiding. We’re the main attraction, top of the bill. 'Cause we can make miracles happen. The kind of miracles that make people want to stand up and cheer. The kind of miracles that will keep down anybody that stands up against us. What’s coming next is gonna take all your strength and courage. So get ready, boys and girls. One way or another, destiny is only a breath away.


From Adam's diary on Mutant X Lives

GABRIEL ASHLOCKE - New Mutant 01 has been released. The world could end tomorrow if we do not battle him back into his tomb. I helped create Gabriel, but I will not let him run amok as a Greek God. If it takes the ultimate price to defeat him, so be it.


From The Midnight Press: NEW MUTANT CULT: MYTH OR MENANCE?

Authorities are looking for a "handsome man named Gabriel" whom they suspect is the leader of a new mutant cult.
Washington, DC -- Word has begun to circulate concerning a "cult of dreams" that has invaded the minds of select youths across the nation causing them to leave their homes and gather together in a mysterious underground base of operations. The Midnight Press has not been able to discover the purpose or mission this eerie sect might serve, but can affirm that all the missing dreamers have been of questionable genetic background. Is there a zealot cult of New Mutants forming to spread havoc on the rest of the world?
Investigations into other cases of vanished youth (primarily women, but some men as well) who claimed to have visions of a charismatic saviour or the symbol 1.0, all have fit the same portrayal of outsiders with suspicious characteristics. "There are four main classifications of mutants: Elemental, Feral, Molecular and Psionic," defines Dr. Segall. "All seem to have been infected by these religious nightmares."
As to what or who "Gabriel" is and the significance of "1.0", the Midnight Press has yet to uncover an answer. While there are many recent rumors of an outlaw band of mutants who have been challenging covert government forces, it is believed that this new cult is not connected to them.
Printed flyers that have been circulating around college campuses and coffee houses advertise a grassroots organization called "the Strand". Though the message relayed is obscure and seemingly peace advocating, it calls on "gifted men and women" to come forth and identifies itself with the logo of a "1.0".
Police and federal officials have made no attempt to trace the Strand's origins, as it only exists, thus far, on the cryptic discarded leaflets and cannot be connected to any violent or illegal acts. It is the opinion of the Midnight Press, however, that a potentially dangerous devotion has formed that will reveal the mutant population to the public at last in apocalyptic proportions. Our eyes and ears will remain on future developments.


Drs. Ken Harrison and Laura Varaday's emails from Genomex.net

> TO: Dr. Kenneth Harrison, Biology
> FROM: Dr. Laura Varady, Psychiatrics
> RE: Confidential Report

> Kenneth,
> I felt it my obligation to break patient/doctor confidences and report to you a disturbing trend I have recently discovered in several female GSAgents. After reviewing the latest round of psych evaluations, I find five (Cornell, Hennessey, Fortier, Stein and Liddell) have had similar recurring dreams. They all involve a tall, handsome man named Gabriel who woos them and promises a utopian future at his side. Of course, I instantly thought of mutant: 1.0.
> While I do not have many details on the subject (Ashlocke, G), I know he ties into Stasis Pod #21801, which is vital to Genomex security. In my opinion, it is no coincidence that all five agents have had the same figure wandering through their subconscious thoughts. If 1.0 is a powerful enough Psionic, he may be communicating with them even though he is technically comatose.
> Of all the haunted employees, only one is a New Mutant (Morgan Fortier, telekinetic, GSA file #GS0069PTF). Ironically, she is the most stable of those involved, so I do not detect a pattern except for age, physique and gender. They're all in their twenties, all attractive and all female.
> I am tempted to feel that Mr. Eckhart should be alerted of the situation. As his time is always at a premium, however, I am conferring with you first. Do you think we should we put this to Mason or would it be wasting his time?
> Please respond as soon as you can.
> Laura
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> TO: Dr. Varady
> FROM: Dr. Harrison

> My Dear Laura,
> You were right to bring this to my attention before going to Mr. Eckhart. It is indeed a curious phenomenon, but nothing I feel we should disturb him with at this time.
> Instead, I will look into the matter personally. It may be some kind of empathic invasion from Mutant X (please note security file #MX999PDE on DeLauro, Emma). I feel, between the two of us, the matter can be handled discreetly without wasting Mr. Eckhart's resources. After all, it only involves dreams at this point. Nothing tangible.
> As for Mutant 1.0, I am afraid I know even less about the subject than you do (Gabriel Ashlocke, correct?). Security on Stasis Pod #21801 is a tight CODE RED as always, so let us just trust everything there is under control.
> Your diligence, dedication and sense of ethics are always appreciated, Laura. Why don't we have dinner soon?
> Kenneth

Hi,
The temperate drippings off the iron mountains flow freely and I am in a state of ecstasy over the golden eagle's voyage round the anthill which I understand is built of Lincoln's molecules and sits all purple by the Viking Sea as the hoards of unenlightened suffragettes wait for the polished staff of the Chosen One to inflict gnarled welts upon their wingless backs as they cry, O how they cry, for the unanswered answers that only the Breedlove motherless can sing to them in a silver bell pitch that peals from the exhausting heights and bounces (bouncy, bouncy, bouncy) off the walls in IntoLand for which there is no key but mayhap open its spongy gates if prayers are irreverent enough like a lizard's whose sapphire scales flake off like day-old buttermilk biscuits from the tube (turn oven to 350 and cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, but not golden like the eagle) and served to a Senator who always trusted Mr. Nixon but never Miss Monroe of "Something's Gotta Give" that made no dollars and pounds…pound, pound, pound…the railroad spikes, Bunny, the railroad spikes that cannot forget when Daddy came in the room late at night and had peanuts envy until we primal screamed and took the trays out of the ice box, which would have been groovy except I stuck my tongue on the frosty metal and it ripped with scarlet tears that Mason could not shed but they drip now OHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGODOHGOD….

LLLLLLLLL

ADDEM:

Gentlemen,
I am retiring sweet Dr. Varady and suggesting she be permanently committed to the finest mental asylum your government care can afford, as she won't be practicing the psychiatric arts again. It seems that the poor dear just could not keep her mind together after our little session this afternoon. Silly cow even spilled her tea. Please note that if she had not been such an ignorant tool of Eckhart's, you would be receiving only her brain on a platter. That is what the rest of you non-Mutant professionals can expect should you interfere with my business any further.

Sincerely,
Gabriel Ashlocke
