Feature Profile: X-Man AKA Xavier Ycaza

X-Man, Xavier Jesus Ycaza, was given his particularly fitting moniker by a middle school teacher. This handle suits him well because anyone versed in the Marvel universe knows that the X-Men are a group of highly-gifted individuals and that they are led by Professor X, who just so happens to posess the special powers that Xavier finds most desirable: telekinesis and mind control.

Xavier may not be a superhero, but he is looked up to by his younger siblings and has survived a plane crash. Yes, you heard correctly. Some seven years  after leaving his native Ecuador for the Nutmeg State (Connecticut; he currently resides in West Haven), Xavier survived a crash landing in Lima, Peru. Even though seven years have passed since this traumatic event, Xavier recalls his experience like it was yesterday,

"I remember the sound of panic. Everyone was screaming, 'We're gonna die,' as the oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling."

Fortunately for Metropolitan Business Academy and the scientific community, Xavier emerged from the crash unscathed. Although the end of his path is uncertain, Xavier is ever inquisitive and identifies chemistry as his favorite subject, "because it shows you how things work."

 Xavier plans on attending a four year college after he graduates from MBA next spring (hopefully his Red Sox will be performing better then).
