Evan Daniels, a high-school freshman, is Storm's nephew. He loves his powers and just wants to bust loose. But the others hold him in check, warning him what will happen if everybody at Bayville High finds out about their abilities. Evan may be Storm's nephew, but he doesn't want any special treatment. He's a nice guy with a great sense of humor -- albeit sometimes biting.

Evan loves to skateboard, and can perform any number of acrobatic tricks. During battles, he's the X-Man most likely to showboat -- because he totally gets off on the thrill. Also, he frequently makes use of his skateboarding skills during skirmishes, becoming a human torpedo.

Although Evan looks completely normal most of the time, his powers involve rapid bone growth -- allowing him to sprout protrusions through his skin to form protective coatings and spikes. Stegosaurus-like spurs shoot out from his arms and back, which he can use offensively. The bones grow all over his face and limbs, and look really fearsome.

Unfortunately for Evan, a recent 'Power Surge' has forced the "spikes" to become permanent and he is no longer able to draw them back into his body. Having a hard time dealing with this, he has chosen to go underground and join the misfit group of mutants known as the Morlocks. Spyke's entire body is now covered in hard, plated spikes, and he is now able to heat the tips of his spikes to the point where they are almost flaming, making him a very powerful, very dangerous warrior for the Morlocks.

He's become much more aggressive in the days since leaving the Institute. Living with the Morlocks, seeing how they live and are treated, has spurred him to lash out against the anti-mutant haters in Bayville. Still, his intentions remain noble, and he is only doing it to protect his fellow mutants.
