Manifesting at a young age, ''Sullivan''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mutant ability to read the emotions of others caused him to fall prone to occasional yet sudden mood swings, leading his parents to believe their son was suffering from an extreme form of depression. George and Catherine Cleaner looked across the country for someone who could help the family cope with the young child's temperament, in fear that his mind could become even more unstable. | Manifesting at a young age, ''Sullivan''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mutant ability to read the emotions of others caused him to fall prone to occasional yet sudden mood swings, leading his parents to believe their son was suffering from an extreme form of depression.

Excited with the prospect of "one last opportunity to study a remarkable human mind", Morse invited --or rather, insisted-- the Cleaner family relocate to Millennium City so he could easily keep an eye on the child and track his progress. The decision to leave Boston wasn't easy to make, but without any other apparent alternative to choose from, they complied. |
In the private sessions he had with the child, Dr. Morse proved to be very knowledgeable about Sullivan's powers and took great interest in his mental potential. Morse even attempted to probe further for possible undiscovered latent psychic talents, with no apparent success. Sullivan took a liking to Morse near immediately due to his humor and compassion, and the two quickly struck up a friendship. | In the private sessions he had with the child, Dr. Morse proved to be very knowledgeable about Sullivan's powers and took great interest in his mental potential.

| − | :Sullivan's | + | :Sullivan's identity as Sludd is the result of his disembodied consciousness exerting its influence over a localized mass of sludge and waste originating in Millennium City’s sewer system. Through sheer willpower, he is able to form an independent humanoid "body" of varying proportions. Depending on his level of concentration and the amount of accessible materials, he can be seen in forms ranging from crudely child-like, to a roughly paragonian build, to something monstrously hulking. |

| − | *'''Empathy''': | + | *'''Empathy''': Even prior to his becoming Sludd, Sullivan Cleaner was a developing mutant with a sensitivity to the emotions of others. He has also proven capable on picking up surface thoughts and projecting his own emotional state to those in close proximity. |
| − | *''' | + | *'''Non-living Physiology - Elemental''': In his Sludd state, Sullivan has no need to eat or breathe to survive, and is highly resistant to physical injury that doesn't outright destroy his mass. He does, however, need a form of rest in order to regain mental energy spent on concentrating to maintain his form. |
*'''Shapeshifting''': Sludd is able to shape his amorphous body into crude forms, often appearing as either a puddle of sludge or a vaguely humanoid shape. He is able to flow around objects and barriers, entangle and restrain foes using his own mass, and throw pieces of himself as offensive projectiles. | *'''Shapeshifting''': Sludd is able to shape his amorphous body into crude forms, often appearing as either a puddle of sludge or a vaguely humanoid shape.

*'''Telekinetic Cohesion''': Sullivan's concentration is essential to maintaining the shapes (or lack of) that he may take-- as such he has developed a keen subconscious awareness of his malleable anatomy. This also extends to the ability to (somewhat unreliably) suppress the stench he might give off. | *'''Telekinetic Cohesion''': Sullivan's concentration is essential to maintaining the shapes (or lack of) that he may take-- as such he has developed a keen subconscious awareness of his malleable anatomy.

Having escaped in the aftermath, only time will tell if his actions are the start of his path to villainy. |
