Who are the New Mutants?

Cecilia Reyes

Cecilia Reyes is of Puerto Rican descent who was born and raised in New York City. Her father – Alejandro Reyes – was shot in front of her when Cecilia was six years old. It was then that she decided to become a doctor. After years of study, she became one of the best trauma surgeons in the USA. Shortly after she started working at a hospital in the Bronx, her powers were revealed. She then contacted Professor Xavier, who offered her a place in his school, but Cecilia refused, preferring to keep her mutant status a secret. However, when she was attacked by an anti-mutant group during Operation Zero Tolerance and rescued by Iceman, she had no choice but to join the X-Men group. She managed not only to defeat Bastion, but also to save Cyclops’s life when she removed the bomb from his chest. She has also operated on Daredevila several times. However, when her identity was revealed, she was fired from her job and permanently joined the group of mutants. For a while, she was also addicted to a drug called Rave and tempted by the Shadow King. She also fought against the Neo group. For a time she was imprisoned in the concentration camp for mutants Neverland, from which she managed to escape, although unfortunately she lost her memory then. Since she did not return to her friends, she was presumed dead. Meanwhile, she worked in shelters for the homeless, where she cured, among others, Tatiana Caban. The latter, in turn, later told the whole story of the Beast who brought Cecilia home and, together with the other homo superior, restored her memories. she was fired from her job and permanently joined the group of mutants.

Cecilia Reyes has one power – a protective barrier is created around her body, increasing her endurance. It is a psioplasmic biofield that constantly surrounds her, whether the woman wants it or not. It reacts self-consciously, protecting it from threats. Over time, Cecilia learned to surround her fists with it to increase the power of her blows and to create spikes from it with which she can shoot enemies.

While Cecilia Reyes was never part of the New Mutants group, she will appear in the film. She will be played by Alice Braga, whom you may know from such paintings as City of God , I Am a Legend , Predators or Ritual .
