X-Men: Shadow of the newcomer

Life in my quiet hometown was defined by midnight snacks and B-movies until my 16th birthday. That’s when the “glitches” began — uncontrollable, terrifying manifestations of power I couldn’t understand or stop. My parents’ fear turned to panic as strange things happened around me with no warning.
In desperation, they called the X-Men.
Now ripped from everything familiar, I’m thrown into a mansion learning my powers
