[ There always seems to be some degree of surprise when people see what Erik can do. Here, though, he doesn't mind it, because it's not met with fear or distrust. To be fair, Erik has made himself famous in the worst possible ways, so it's not like he could blame people for being concerned when they realize who he is. ]

I've heard about that, but for now I haven't been granted any other abilities.

[ Frankly, Erik doesn't mind that so much. He is proud of being a mutant, of what he can do already. He wouldn't need nor want anything else beyond them. ]

That's alright. I don't mind questions. [ Not the sort that people ask here, anyway. ] This is not magic. I'm a mutant. I was born with a genetic mutation that has granted me unique abilities. We are fairly common in my reality, although not the majority of the Earth's population.

[ Well, not for now, anyway. ]

But I can't say I've ever encountered portals which travel through time. That is... quite something. How did you come upon that?
