Editing Exceedingly Exiled:Trouble Maker (section)

== Backstory ==

Upset by the injustice she sees in the world around her, as a young teenager, Nadeen got involved with the punk scene and radical political activism. Her fathers—Ben and Faruq Lemaire-Najjar—were ambivalent about this. They were happy with their daughter’s concern for others, but worried about where her political activism might take and that she’d adopted such a radical, confrontational stance. She has been arrested more than once for her political activism, something that lead to other students bullying her in school.<br>
<br>
One day when the bullying got especially bad, her mutant power activated and she lashed out with powers she didn’t know she had. She was actually quite horrified at what she had done. After this, she was recruited by the X-Men.<br>
<br>
Trouble Maker is a bit ambivalent about being part of the X-Men. On the one hand, she got badly needed training that has allowed her to control her power. And she hopes to use her platform as a superhero to challenge people’s negative stereotypes about radical political activists. On the other hand, she is wary that the X-Men will try to steer her on the path to the straight and narrow, something she disdains. (Her fathers, on the other hand, supported her joining the super team, precisely because they hope this will happen.) She also doesn’t really like her main superpower, regarding it as cruel, and uses it reluctantly.
