First spotted in the northern United-States, it is said the subject, Rick Calder, know to us as Thornster, is from a small Canadian city named Huntington.

Like most mutants, he has lived a very traditional childhood. He was doing great in school to the point where he had started the necessary studies with the objective of becoming a doctor in biology. And as with most of those gene degenerates, that is when the transformations started. He was in his late teens, but that does not make him any different for it. He is still a stinking mutant.

At first his cat got sick. They eventually found out it was from licking his skin. Then his skin hardened and grew thicker. Neighbours in his childhood town were quoted in local newspapers for having heard one night tremendous screaming and cries coming from the Calder house. A mattress full of holes surrounded by green stains were found by the curb the next morning. We suppose that that is when his spiny condition first appeared.

He now seems to have the skin oozing poison situation under control. This control is not necessarily good. He now seems to be able to line the spikes of his body with them and have it all disappear when he calms down. All, except the skin. He is easily recognized by his dark brown and orange hide.

If you see spikes sticking out of him, weather they be a dark yellow or an orange color … walk away and call for back up, the subject is in a bad mood.
