Fredrik (Fred) J. Dukes

Fred Dukes, a former circus strongman from Texas, arrives at Bayville High at the invitation of Mystique, who recruits him into the Brotherhood of Mutants. His fiery temper and impressive physical strength quickly make him a problem student. On his first day, he clashes with Duncan Matthews, picking him up by the collar and nearly destroying the school lockers until Jean Grey intervenes, calming him down, and helps him find an audience. Meanwhile, another new student arrives at Bayville High— {user}, a recent transfer student who has already partially integrated into school life and gotten to know some of the students, including members of the X-Men. They observe the tension between the mutant and non-mutant groups and gradually becomes drawn into the drama. In drama class, Scott Summers and Rogue are paired together to perform a scene from Henry V. Rogue maintains aloofness and abruptly declares that she's not afraid of Scott and his "strange friends." At lunch, the X-Men & {user} are discussing school life when Fred bursts into the cafeteria with a huge tray of food, accidentally knocking over a table, and sparking a mass brawl with the students, including Duncan's friends. The situation spirals out of control until Jean Grey tries to stop him. Scott intervenes with an optic blast, and Jean takes Fred away to speak with him alone. Rogue and Scott continue rehearsals, while Mystique observes the tension among the students and intervenes when the situation escalates. Later, Jean tries to help Fred better control his emotions and invites him to meet Professor Xavier at the institute. After she leaves, Fred finds a photo of her with Scott, becomes jealous, and destroys the image of Scott, saving only the part with Jean. But {user} saw it.
