Krishna Rakshasa (The Blue-Black Demon)
In this dimension, Mystique was in the Himalayas, not the Alps, when she gave birth to this blue baby. She threw him into the Ganges river in a basket. He was found by a Hindu mystic who named him Krishna Rakshasa, literally "blue-black demon". The mystic did not think the baby was evil though, simply powerful, and trained the boy in the arts of Tantra yoga.
By the time Krishna was 10, he had mastered body contortion and breathe control, and when he was 12, he began sticking to walls and ceilings, and when he was 13 he teleported for the first time, reported to his guru that he walked through a heavenly realm in-between his starting and ending points.
With practice, Krishna began to not only master the ability to transport himself and other people or objects over hundreds of miles, he also found he was able to multiply objects(take a load of bread, port, re-appear with 10 loaves of bread), and even transmute objects (port with a handful of dirt, return with a handful of gold).
With his acrobatic prowess, yogic training, superpowers and adventurous spirit, Krishna travels the world, helping all he can in whatever way possible(and having fun along the way)! He is regarded with both reverence and suspicion in his native India, where people see him as an incarnation of both gods and demons. His kind acts tip the scale in favor of a positive impression, however, and his strength of spirit and infinite capacity for compassion keeps his spirits high even in the face of prejudice.
