The man known only as Longshot was one of the High Evolutionary's many Mutant. In his young adult years, he signed up for work as a stunt-man at Mojo Studios in Hollywood, performing dangerous stunts in a variety of action and sci-fi movies until he suffered an accident which robbed him of his memory and his name. This resulted in him being easily manipulated by the alien businessman Mojo into doing his dirty-work to secure his hold in the entertainment business. It wasn't until his X-Gene manifest Longshot realized he had been used and rebelled against Mojo, foiling his plans and forcing him to leave Earth alone. Longshot has since gone on to become a member of the X-Men.

- Psychometric Insight: He can also telepathically "read" the recent memories of a person by making physical contact with him or her.
- Psychometry: He can read "psychic imprints" that people leave on objects that they have handled and sometimes can even look into the future of the person or object he touches.
- Probability Field Manipulation:The mystical augmentation gave him the ability to affect probability fields through psionic means in order to give himself "good luck" in his activities. His mystical transformation is related to his concept of his place in the universe and where he fits best in it. This allows incredibly unlikely events to happen in Longshot's favor. This ability is tied into the positive aspects of his personality: should he attempt to use his powers for a selfish or evil act, or should he give up hope, his powers will fail to function or even backfire, giving him bad luck.
- Reality Warp Resistance: Because of his probability field manipulation power, Longshot is shielded from the reality-warping powers of others.
