Exodus
"Mutantkind are not a race, anymore. They need a different kind of protector now. A different kind of crusade. We must all of us consider what that might be. Strive to be the knights our lost tribes need -- whatever that striving might cost us. And in the meantime -- turn our back on the ways that can no longer help us." - Exodus 
Bennet du Paris is a Crusader from the 12th who sought out the realm of the Eternal Pharoah. His mutant abilities manifested, and he was changed into the being known as Exodus. Placed in stasis for centuries, Exodus was eventually awakened by a mutant terrorist, to serve as his right hand man. Now, Bennet has moved on from the past, and looks towards the future and what it holds in store for mutantkind. With his vast psionic powers and enhanced physiology, Exodus is a power to be reckoned.

Able to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. Withstand virtually all toxins, corrosives, punctures, and concussions without sustaining injury; regenerate injured or missing tissue, limbs, organs, and/or brain cells. In effect, Exodus can withstand most small arms fire and assault grade weaponry (Toughness 5), while being able to continue strenuous activity for long periods of time without rest (Endurance 6). He can recover from wounds that would fell most mortal men (Healing Factor 7) within a matter of minutes.
Gear: Crusader Sword (2)

Exodus has the ability to psionically sense, control, alter/manipulate the feelings, sensations and emotions of other people/animals psionically.

Power: Telekinesis (9)
Range: Line of sight
Exodus has vast telekinetic powers. He is able to telekinetically lift at least 100 tons of weight. His ability to manipulate and control objects and himself include:
Intuitive Aptitude: He can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.) and, just as quickly, easily assemble complex devices. He has shown the ability to rearrange matter on the molecular level, repairing damaged uniforms and etc.
Force Field: Exodus is able to create protective force shields that can deflect even the most powerful of attacks, makes him nearly invulnerable, as well as crush objects within them.
Concussive Blasts: He can project telekinetic energies as powerful blast beams directed from his brain that could apparently affect matter with concussive force.
Electromagnetic Blasts: He can manipulate the Earth's electromagnetic spectrum so as to release tremendous amounts of heat to incinerate specific targets.
Enhanced Strength: Exodus can augment his physical strength with his telekinesis. The limits of this are unknown, but it can be assumed that from certain feats that through his telekinetic powers, he can increase his strength to vast superhuman levels -- Exodus is ultimately capable of lifting far in excess of 100 tons.
Power: Telekinetic Flight (6)
By levitating himself, Exodus can “fly” at for very long distances and at supersonic speeds exceeding Mach 2, using a force field to shield himself against friction.
Power: Telepathy (8)
Exodus is able to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others. His telepathic powers include:
Telepathic Tracking: He is able to detect and track other sentient beings by their unique psionic emanations (thought patterns contained in the psionic portion of the spectrum)
Heightened Awareness: Demonstrated the ability to detect a threat to his well-being in his immediate vicinity before they commit the action and possesses enhanced intuition.
Telepathic Cloak: He can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
Mind Control: He is capable of controlling the minds of others only if the target is in his physical presence.
Telepathic Illusions: He has the ability to create illusions to make himself seem to be invisible, look like someone else, or make others experience events that are not truly happening.

Astral Projection: He can project his astral form from his body onto astral planes or the physical planes. In the physical plane he can only travel in astral form over short distances. In the astral plane, he can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of his environment.

Intuitive Multilingual: He has the ability to intuitively translate new languages.

Power: Touch of Life (6)
Exodus is capable of bringing people back from the dead, healing others, and regenerating damaged or lost limbs and organs.
Skill: Crusader (6)
Exodus was a Crusader, a knight sent out to battle. He had extensive training in martial techniques, and trained with the Black Knight himself. He's well above competent when it comes to swordplay, and no slouch when it comes to pure brawling melee.
Advantages
Advantage: Akkaba Crypt
Exodus still has access to the crypt he was held in stasis for centuries within. The "crypt" is actually a piece of ancient Celestial technology, stolen by Apocalypse from an old enemy. It was used to alter Bennet's genetic structure and augment his powers, much as it had been used on Apocalypse himself in the past. Bennet can come back to this crypt from time to time to enter stasis and rejuvenate, or recover from especially grievous damage.
Advantage: Confidence Empowered
Exodus's mutant abilities are enhanced when others around him or he himself, have faith in him and his abilities.
Advantage: Omniglot
Exodus has the capability to learn and understand languages through telepathic means. This gives him the ability to speak most languages with native fluency after a few minutes with someone who speaks the language.
Flaws
Flaw: Bad Rep
Exodus has been mostly associated with operating side by side with the world's most notorious mutant terrorists. As such, even now, long after he's put such affiliations behind him in the wake of the world's outpouring of sympathy after the tragedy at Genosha, Exodus is still often misassociated with such groups and their villainous activities.
Flaw: Confidence Empowered
Exodus's mutant abilities are enhanced when others around him or he himself, have faith in him and his abilities. This is a double edged sword. If his confidence falters, or he doesn't have the faith of those around him, his powers can be weakened.
Flaw: Last Crusader
Exodus is from the 12th century. He spent many, many years in stasis until the modern era when he was finally awoken. He has spent considerable time learning the ways of this new world, but still much of the world's modern cultures and sensibilities seem foreign, backwards or even outright shameful to him. This can lead to many awkward social situations.
Flaw: Obvious Mutant
Exodus is very, very obviously a mutant. His skin is a ruddy shade, and his eyes are white with no pupils.
Flaw: Obvious Power
Exodus' psionic prowess is often revealed with an aura of golden or purple light. His eyes glow, and a hazy nimbus or corona of light shines around him like an angelic figure. His telekinetic blasts are flashy, showy things making most of his high powered abilities unsubtle, to say the least.
Flaw: Psionics
All of Exodus' powers are mental and require him to be conscious. Their performance depends on his mental state and ability to concentrate. If he is tired, upset or confused, his powers will be weaker, uncontrollable or erratic.
Flaw: Psychic Vampire
From time to time, Exodus needs to feed off of psychic energies from other psionically enabled creatures. No one, including Exodus himself, is certain why this is, but it is likely due to Apocalypse's tampering with his abilities.
Flaw: Zealot
Exodus still holds the ideals of elevating mutantkind dear to his heart. He realizes that the ways of the past won't work for the future, but everything he does and is, is dedicated solely to the pursuit of furthering a mutant agenda. This can be used against him in a number of ways, from leverage to simply manipulating him into a predictable pattern of behavior, if one is crafty enough.
