Biography
Before Coming To the Mansion
Jean-Phillipe was raised in a lower-middle class family where both parents worked. As a result, he was often left to his own devices as a child, and developed a sense of self-sufficiency and being a loner. He picked up a dead-end warehouse labor job in high school because his parents couldn't spare him much pocket money.
Jean-Phillipe was something of a mutaphile, or "mutant groupie", even before he manifested. He was fascinated by his cousin Marie-Ange's mutant imaging power, and pestered her to the point where she expressed frustration about it. He also frequented mutant-friendly messageboards, and was a regular commenter (using the alias "Bevatron") on several pro-mutant blogs. He attended several mutant rallies in France, and owned some mutant-positive music, including mixes by the well-known European mutant DJ, Manuel de la Rocha.
At Xavier's
Jean-Phillipe showed up at the mansion by cab, arriving with powers control issues, much to the chagrin of his cousin. He maintained a prickly demeanor and sarcastic wit on the journal system, though he did start a few friendships, such as with Yvette Petrovic. He also had a brief romantic liason with Mark Sheppard after they hit it off one evening at Silver, embarrassing Marie-Ange even more when she realized who her coworker's new "friend" was. Jean-Phillipe's relationship with Mark was short-lived, though, as Mark was looking for something more committed and long-term than Jean-Phillipe. After the parting of the ways, Jean-Phillipe kept a fairly low profile at the mansion, working on his powers with Scott Summers, smoking like a chimney on the porch, and being snarky on the journals.
Day Zero and a Revelation
The morning of Day Zero found Jean-Phillipe in New York City after spending the evening with a paramour. He made his way to the brownstone to meet up with Marie-Ange, who was abducted by Caliban as they attempted to make their way to Silver to join Mark there. Jean-Phillipe managed to escape the mob of Caliban's thralls, and reach Silver. With Pete Wisdom's aid, he made his way back to Caliban's lair in an attempt to rescue his cousin, who had gone catatonic and unresponsive to anything he said. Finally, in an attempt to snap her out of whatever had been done to her, Jean-Phillipe dropped the bombshell that he'd been sitting on all this time: he was working for Magneto as a spy against the X-Men, in much the same way Pietro Maximoff had acted as the X-Men's double agent inside the Brotherhood.
Currently, only Mark and Marie-Ange are aware of the details of Jean-Phillipe's betrayal, and he has lain low at the mansion since Day Zero, but the time is coming soon when he will have to face the consequences of the choices he has made.

Powers
Jean-Phillipe is electrogenetic, currently uncontrolled. He possesses organs extremely similar to those of an electric eel, but adapted to a human body. These organs are made of electrocytes lined up in series. The electrocytes are lined up so the current flows through them and produces an electrical charge. When he is able to consciously activate his powers, his brain sends a signal through the nervous system to the electric cells. This opens the ion channel, allowing positively-charged sodium to flow through, reversing the charges momentarily. By doing that it creates electricity, which Jean-Phillipe customarily directs through his arms and hands.
In terms of voltage capacity, Jean-Phillipe can deliver a maximum of several hundred volts alternating current, which is enough to kill through cardiac arrest. He can also seriously disrupt any equipment relying on electricity.
It was revealed during Day Zero (though only to Mark and Marie-Ange so far) that Jean-Phillipe's power control issues were a ruse to cover his spying on the X-Men.
