Powers:
Cyberpathy: Ability to interface and communicate with computers, computer mainframes, and any data processors at a speed that's equal to, if not greater than, that of the computer itself. She can also send e-mail using only her mind. She is generally always in contact with her cybernetic shades, which itself is connected to a super-computer.
Kinetic Memory (Computer Brain): Her mind works in the same way as a computer with unlimited storage capacity, only much faster. She is able to perform several mental functions at once without losing focus on any of them. Also, allows her to instantly recall specific information with incredible speed and accuracy. She's able to store everything that she experiences in a photographic memory and retrieve it immediately without the typical human pause for thought. The sheer speed of her thoughts lead into augmenting her analytical ability so that she is able to make snap decisions about her surroundings and create complex scenarios at that same speed. As such, Sage is able to track the probability of an event by piecing together stored data.
Multi-tasking: able to perform multiple tasks at once by allocating a partition of her brain to each task. For example, Sage can use her mind to replay a movie she had watched previously, play a game of internet chess, and focus on battling an opponent without any one task distracting her from another.
Genetic Sight: able to 'see' a person's genetic code, reading complex DNA sequences for latent and manifested mutations, thereby allowing her to sense mutants and, in many cases, understand how their powers work more thoroughly than they themselves do.
Jumpstart: After analyzing the DNA of another superhuman mutant, Sage is able to selectively evolve their existing genetic traits as well as catalyze the untapped genetic potential of latent mutants. Once begun, the procedure is irreversible and can often result in unpredictable side effects.
Telepathy: low-level telepathic ability to read minds, project her thoughts, control minds, project her astral form and project realistic illusions..
X-Factor Sense: ability to sense the presence of the mutant gene in others who are in close proximity to herself.
Firewall: possesses protection against telepathic attacks. Achieves this state only by permanently shutting down her own low-level telepathic

Abilities: Sage is skilled in the martial arts, and is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant thanks to her having complete conscious control over her own body. Sage is also self-taught in a wide range of firearms, which she can use with considerable skill and accuracy. She is also exceedingly smart. Her computer mind makes it easy for her to learn new talents.

Weakness: Because her powers rely on her mind being fully functioning, Sage would be left as a base human if for example a neural disturbance device was on in a nearby vicinity to her, also because she has no enhanced endurance or strength she suffers the same penalties as a normal human.

Paraphernalia and Equipment: Cybernetic Sunglasses: Sage wears a pair of custom-built cyber shades that function as a wireless broadband computer network amongst like models. The shades provide an audio/video feed via an in-built computer system outfitted with miniaturized conventional microphones and cameras, and can also project a three-dimensional image into the visual field of the wearer that can be expanded to allow others to see with whom the wearer is communicating or information they are reviewing. The shades provide input by means of a virtual reality iconographic keyboard, and have an alternate visual input system for when a user’s hands are otherwise occupied. The shades can be interfaced with any external data network whether terrestrial or alien in origin. The shades also possess various sensors for detecting telepathic resonance patterns, tracking energy trails, and analyzing electronic circuitry, amongst others.

Weapons: Sage wields a pair of handguns that fire non-lethal projectiles. Other Non Descript Guns and knives

Uniform: Basic S.H.I.E.L.D Uniform with a long black leather trench coat as seen in the pictures below



Personality: Sage is not one for showing emotions, in fact in the past it has been remarked that a laptop would show more warmth than she does. She very rarely smiles and when she does it is used more as an intimidation factor as her smile can unnerve even the strongest willed person. She is a devious person by nature and although at times it may seem like she is following the wrong path anything she does is always for the greater good even if that doesn’t become apparent until certain opinions have been formed about her. She is a caring person but only those closest to her and those people are few and far between get to see that softer side of her.

History: Tessa lived in a harem in the Balkan region of Europe. In her teenage years, the Russians invaded Afghanistan so she had to learn how to use weapons and fight against soldiers and local bandits. One day, she felt compelled to enter a local cave and found Professor Charles Xavier trapped under some rocks, his legs crushed. Soon after, some bandits who had raped and killed a convoy of U.N. workers attacked them, but Tessa drove them off, killing one of them.
Some time later, Professor X recruited her into the X-Men, but kept her secret so she could use her telepathic power to spy for his fight for peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans. Tessa’s first mission was to infiltrate the Hellfire Club and become Sebastian Shaw’s advisor. Shaw even kept her after his leadership, due to her usefulness of keeping large amounts of information.
Later, Shaw made a poker bet with billionaire Elias Bogan where if Shaw lost, he would have to hand over Emma Frost, though if Bogan lost Shaw would receive his entire fortune. Bogan had never lost a game before, but astonishingly, Shaw won, mainly due to Tessa's help. Bogan knew that Tessa was the one responsible for Shaw’s win and captured Tessa, scarring her beneath the eyes. Abandoned by Shaw, Tessa was saved by Storm, and she joined the X-Men.
When Senator Robert Kelly ran for president, Tessa met with him to persuade him that his actions were no better than those of the mutant terrorists. However, Kelly was not convinced until a mutant saved his life where he realized that some mutants use their power for good.
Tessa was then given the codename Sage by Storm, who recruited her into the X-Treme X-Men who had been set out to search for a mutant named Destiny who could predict the future. On their way, Beast was almost killed by Vargas but Sage used her previously unseen ability to advance his evolution to the next stage.
Shaw found out that Sage was a spy for Professor X and he allied himself with Lady Mastermind, the daughter of Mastermind to plan his revenge. Lady Mastermind created an illusion against Sage, making her believe that she was an assistant for Shaw once more. Sage was freed once again thanks to Lifeguard, a mutant with the ability to use any power,
depending on the situation. The X-Men defeated Shaw in the end.
Sage later increased Slipstream’s power and allowed Rogue to control the powers she has absorbed over the years. Sage would also help out Bishop in his other missions.
Later when the X-Treme X-Men encountered Elias Bogan again, Sage and Bishop were called to investigate because of a murder. A mutant called Jeffrey Garrett was wanted for questioning when Bogan killed his family and Garrett teleported Bogan’s associates up to the mountains to freeze to death. Garrett fled to the Xavier Institute, where Emma Frost scanned his mind, and she was now possessed. Sage and Bishop followed the trail where Bogan held them hostage, but Storm arrived just in time to defeat the villain.
Bogan captured and possessed Bishop and would use him as a weapon against his teammates. The X-Men with other allies were able to rescue him, which allowed Sage to defeat Bogan once and for all. Sage helped the X-Men rebuild the mansion after Magneto’s attack, and rejoined them.
After concluding that Destiny's writing on the diaries to be invalid, Tessa joined the X-Treme Sanctions Executive, to monitor mutant relations and activities around the world. She had to end her tenure to the group and join again the Hellfire Club to watch over Sunspot, who had become a high ranking official in the Club, because he might become corrupt with power as Shaw did in the past.
She then left the Hellfire Club to join Excalibur, the mutant team based on Britain. Tessa becomes a spy again in order to get close to Albion, and she develop a new personality, calling herself Diana Fox, who is completely loyal to Albion. She quickly climbed up through the ranks and eventually become one of Albion's elite, the Shadow Captains, and took the name, Britannia. When she had an opportunity to kill Albion, she didn't take it, and much to the fear of Tessa's Excalibur teammates, her Diana Fox personality now fully control Tessa's body. But when she was confronted by her teammates, Tessa's came back to her old self and quickly defeated Albion and his Shadow Captains.
Excalibur came back to their base and celebrated their recent victory, Sage felt that guilty about her actions that she decided to return to the US and rejoin the X-Men. She worked with them for a while but found that the other, more prominent members of the team were still far too suspicious of her so ended up changing alliances again, she deemed her talents would be better put to use as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Over the last 5 years she has climed through the ranks considerably, and since the alien war taken over the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D, a position once held by Nick Fury, a man she greatly respected before his death. Although she now has greater responsibilities to attend to she has not forgotten why she came to the US so plans on keeping a very close eye on the Xavier Institute especially with Magneto running it, she also plans on offering aid to the school in her spare time, not that there is much of it.
