Synch

Everett Thomas is a mutant with the ability to synch with and replicate the powers of any mutant in his proximity, projecting an aura that mirrors their abilities. A member of the Generation X team, he trained alongside Jubilee and Monet at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

A French-language gem from Panini's late-1990s lineup, Synch made their debut in 1997 and found a home alongside some genuinely compelling company — sharing pages with the likes of Jubilation Lee, M, and Monet St-Croix across titles including X-Men and Generation X. With appearances spanning into the early 2000s and even turning up in Conan, this character's catalog footprint is compact but intriguing, and one of those six appearances carries key-issue status — always a reason for a collector to pay attention. If you're drawn to the Copper/Modern Age of comics and love hunting down the more elusive corners of the French-market editions, Synch is a quietly rewarding find.
