Superhuman Powers

Cessily's body is composed of a non-toxic form of mercury. She is no longer a carbon based life form and does not eat or breathe in the same way as normal humans.
Still, she consumes food out of habit and has not realised the scope of her change. Cessily's form is completely malleable, adn she can change shape at will. Among many other abilities this grants her, Cessily can form puddles to get under doors, can stretch and bend her body and can turn parts of her body into weapons.

Biography

Mercury is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Universe, one of the student body in the Xavier Institute. Her real name is Cessily Kincaid, and she first appeared in New Mutants #2. She is from Portland, Oregon and her parents do not accept her mutancy. She is one of only 27 students to keep her powers post-M-Day.

Cessily Kincaid was raised in Portland, Oregon by her parents Mark and Jill. When Cessily's powers manifested, her parents were disgusted and made her stay indoors so as to hide her mutancy. In responce, she was sent to the Xavier Institute where she befriended Julian Keller and was placed as Laurie Collins' roommate, which led to Cessily not liking Laurie. After the school was rebuilt, she was selected by Emma Frost to be on her Hellions squad. During that time, she developed a crush on her teammate Wither, but her feelings were not reciprocated.
The Hellions squad won the squad challenge, and during their summer vacation, they travled with Julian to his home. There they encountered the Kingmaker, from whom they each received a trial wish. Cessily's wish was to have her parents accept and love her. However, when the Hellions eventually refused a permanate deal with the Kingmaker, Cessily's parents revered back to normal and Cessily returned to the Institute, defeated.
Soon thereafter, the events of M-Day left only 27 students with their powers, Cessily included, though she would have preferred to lose her powers. The depowered students and staff were sent to their homes. One bus was bombed by anti-mutant religious zealot Reverend William Stryker, and Cessily's former teammate and friend Tag was among those killed. The X-Men held a funeral for those students whose parents would not accept them, and Cessily's anguish was very visible.
All of the remaining students were placed by Emma Frost into an all-out brawl, and the ones deemed to be the best were to be assigned to become a group of in-training X-Men. Cessily made the team and is currently training to become an X-Man.

Powers
Mercury's body is composed of non-toxic mercury, which she can reshape or solidify at will, although she is still inexperienced in shape-shifting. Molecular adhesion power gives her the ability to cling to solid surfaces and move her body at will even without overt locomotive features.
Since her body is not organic, she is one of the few people who can touch Wither without decaying.
