Cody Derasmo

Cody Derasmo is an original fictional character who first appeared in New X-Men.

Background
Little Cody is the baby of the Derasmo family, a quiet, quirky boy who looks like a miniature version of his father. At just five years of age he is old enough to to be attending first grade and is starting to get the sense that his family isn't exactly normal. His classmates don't seem to have a big family secret to keep like he does, nor do any of them or their parents seem to have any super powers.

A bright boy in general, Cody takes orders well and with minimal fuss, and knows not to display or make mention of his power, nor those of his parents or siblings. Sitting through grade 1 math lessons while pretending to be learning along with his baseline human classmates must be agonizingly dull for him, but he rarely complains. Despite being the youngest child he is arguably the least work to look after, and enjoys helping out around the house. He is developing something of a sweet tooth and seems particularly interested in learning how to make desserts of all kinds.

Powers and abilities
Cody is a Gamma-level mutant whose brain processes mathematical calculations at a rate so rapid that it is effectively instantaneous. This power was likely present at birth, though it did not become apparent until he started learning to count, as he needed only to learn the necessary vocabulary before he could start performing graduate-level mathematics in his head. However, aside from his favourite game of instantly counting the total number value of a sentence uttered in his presence (by assigning each letter in number equal to its position in the alphabet, then adding the values of all letters into a final sum), Cody is actually a little bored by math, and would rather spend his time watching his father cook or playing with his older siblings.

Cody has also demonstrated superior accuracy with thrown objects, though the full extent of this ability is not known.
