The vigilante known as [[Captain Untouchable]] is a ninja-themed costumed crime fighter, who focuses on the use of oriental weaponry and martial arts. He was active in New York City - particularly around the Manhatten area - over the course of 2008.

Captain Untouchable is the alias of Thomas Harriman, an "on leave" Officer of the British Army with a Doctorate in advanced Physics, and a flair for martial arts. In America under the premise of continuing his scientific studies, he has become a vigilante of sorts, Harriman has become a vigelante of sorts, spending his time stalking through the streets of New York dressed as a ninja, fighting crime.
+
Footage of Captain Untouchable from security cameras was captured, revealing a fighting style that heavily featured feats of gymnastics, as well as a variety of projectile and thrown weapons. The footage also highlighted a possible mutant ability, which appeared to be telepathic in nature: though this has not been confirmed.

=== History ===
+
Late in 2008, an individual matching Captain Untouchable's description was found by paramedics and rushed to A&E. He had suffered severe burns to most of his body - destroying his apparent costume, and thus preventing a positive ID - as well as at least two gunshot wounds. He was placed in intensive care under heavy sedation, but was not expected to survive. However, though under constant NYPD surveillance and protection, a mutant with healing powers managed to sneak into his room, and repair the worst of his injuries.
  
−
Born in the city of Inverness in Scotland, Harriman was always a smart kid. A high-achiever at school, he went on to study Quantum and Cosmological Physics at university, achieving a first class (Honours) degree in the subject. Always an athletic individual - Harriman trained in a number of martial arts including Kung Fu, Kendo and Tai Chi - he decided that the prospect of spending the rest of his life stuck in a research lab didn't really conform to his goals, and instead decided to join the military.
+
NYPD was unable to secure sufficient evidence to satisfy a conviction as a vigilante, so those charges were ultimately dropped, and the individual's name was not released. However, he was charged for the unlawful and unlicensed posession of the katana found on his person at the time. This was confiscated, and placed in an NYPD lock-up.
  
−
Harriman joined the British Army as an Officer, and served with distinction as a Paratrooper for a number of years, eventually achieving the rank of Captain. During his time as a 'trooper, he gained quite a reputation as a boxer: the fact that his opponents seldom managed to land a punch earned him the nickname "Captain Untouchable". Eventually however, the source of his prowess was revealed: Harriman posessed the mutant X gene. With the world still wary of mutants, the British Army recommended that Harriman take an extended medical leave of absense until his condition could be "cured".
+
Shortly after, the vigilante activities of Captain Untouchable ceased. It is unclear whether this is coincidence, or evidence that the suspect was indeed Captain Untouchable.

With over a decade of his life "wasted", Harriman found himself without anything to do, until he was contacted by a former lecturer who had taken up a professorship at the City University of New York. He had heard of Harriman's "situation", and was intrigued by the mutant phenomenon in general; he offered Harriman a placement as a postgraduate student in exchange for the Captain's assistance in his research. Harriman earned a doctorate for his studies in Particle Physics and Quantum Forces, the studies of which helped him come to understand the nature and limitations of his own mutant powers.

−
Harriman grew restless in the lab however, as he had expected. Eventually, he decided to fashion an identity for himself that would combine his Martial Arts experience, military training, and of course his powers. Taking up his old Army nickname of "Captain Untouchable", he set out to become a ninja vigilante not unlike Robin Hood: protecting the innocent from the crimes of the corrupt.

Nicknamed '''Propulsive Telekinesis''' by Untouchable himself, he has a form of telekinesis that only acts to push objects away. More accurately, he has the ability to imbue objects close to him withe momentum, but only in a direction acting away from him. This allows him to "push" or "punch" objects without actually making physical contact with them; he often uses this ability to help him throw objects at high speeds. He can also use his ability to slow down objects moving towards him: slow moving objects he can stop completely, but faster-moving ones can only be slowed. With extremely fast-moving objects - like bullets - he is forced to dodge and deflect. His powers can manifest at any point around his body: he can use his powers to generate a crude "force field" to hold back punches, repel weapons being swung at him, etc.

Because Untouchable's power is related to momentum, the laws of physics dictate that he can only use his powers on anything with mass. Electrons and the ionised particles in plasma for example have mass, and thus can be stopped by his force field. Insubstansive attacks however, such as fire, psychic effects, etc, are able to penetrate his shield. Individuals with super speed, or abilities that make them unstoppable once in motion are also able to bypass his field.

This allows them to be used as a whip-like reach weapon, and as a crude "grappling gun".

The vigilante known as Captain Untouchable is a ninja-themed costumed crime fighter, who focuses on the use of oriental weaponry and martial arts. He was active in New York City - particularly around the Manhatten area - over the course of 2008.

Footage of Captain Untouchable from security cameras was captured, revealing a fighting style that heavily featured feats of gymnastics, as well as a variety of projectile and thrown weapons. The footage also highlighted a possible mutant ability, which appeared to be telepathic in nature: though this has not been confirmed.

Late in 2008, an individual matching Captain Untouchable's description was found by paramedics and rushed to A&E. He had suffered severe burns to most of his body - destroying his apparent costume, and thus preventing a positive ID - as well as at least two gunshot wounds. He was placed in intensive care under heavy sedation, but was not expected to survive. However, though under constant NYPD surveillance and protection, a mutant with healing powers managed to sneak into his room, and repair the worst of his injuries.

NYPD was unable to secure sufficient evidence to satisfy a conviction as a vigilante, so those charges were ultimately dropped, and the individual's name was not released. However, he was charged for the unlawful and unlicensed posession of the katana found on his person at the time. This was confiscated, and placed in an NYPD lock-up.

Shortly after, the vigilante activities of Captain Untouchable ceased. It is unclear whether this is coincidence, or evidence that the suspect was indeed Captain Untouchable.

Captain Untouchable is a (former) vigilante identity of Tom Harriman.
