Prodigy is a naturally intelligent Mutant with the ability to mimic the knowledge, mental skills, and abilities of others around him. Prodigy lost his powers after Decimation, but to an extent, regained them after Stepford Cuckoos restored his previous memories and skills. He's now has all the skills and abilities of everyone he met while his powers were active, including the abilities of most of the other X-Men and his fellow students. Prodigy recently became a member of the Young Avengers.
