—[[Lydecker]] to [[Logan Cale]], [[Pollo Loco]]
The X5 Series were the first truly successful prototypes of the [[X-Series]], a project to create
Supervised by Colonel Lydecker, the techniques used were exceptionally harsh and were intended to mold them into obedient, efficient, amoral killing-machines who would happily perform even the most dangerous or morally questionable assignments without question or argument. As they were kept separated from the outside world and knew only their strict, military surroundings, this training was mostly successful, until [[Eva/X5-766|Eva (X5-766)]] defied orders and was shot and killed by Lydecker in 2009. After this incident, twelve of the X5s in Eva's unit, including [[Max Guevara|Max (X5-452)]], rebelled against their handlers and escaped from Manticore's Gillette, Wyoming facility. Led by [[Zack
Following the destruction of the Manticore organization in 2020, all the X5s and other transgenics are left to find a new place in the world, blending in where possible, and persecuted by both the [[Familiars]] and humans who see them as "freaks". Many transgenics take refuge in a part of the [[Seattle]] area nicknamed [[Terminal City]], where human habitation is impossible due to the breakout of biological and chemical hazards that the transgenics are immune to. Terminal City becomes the home of a transgenic nation of sorts.

==Powers and Abilities==
''"Suffice to say, you have abilities that could not be described as...normal."''
—Phil to [[
Although outwardly they appear to be ordinary humans, the X5s possess abilities that far surpass the human norm. The feline DNA used to enhance the X5s physical combat abilities granted them superior strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, agility and durability as well as exceptional night vision and greatly improved olfactory sensation and auditory perception capabilities. Combined with

*'''Enhanced Senses:''' X5s senses are enhanced to levels passed human. Their eyesight allows them to see in the dark and also at telescopic/microscopic levels, hear heartbeats from meters away and frequencies undetectable by humans, determine the chemical composition of objects and track objects by smell, dissect food ingredients by taste, and determine fabrics by touch.
*'''Enhanced Intelligence: '''In addition to their superior physique, X5s possess a genius level I.Q. and problem-solving skills. They are very gifted at assessing people and situations, which makes them highly adaptive to change and able to learn and mimic with extreme speed and accuracy. Eidetic memory and parallel processing are just a few skills given by their enhanced intelligence.
*'''Enhanced''' '''Dexterity:''' X5s possess perfect muscle control, they can perform any physical act without difficulty. They can perform very precise muscle movements such as complex billiards shots and perform dexterous task with virtually no practice beforehand rapidly and flawlessly. They can copy any movement/action after seeing it performed once. They can control their own vocal cords allowing them to speak, sing, whisper, yell, hum, etc. in any pitch, voice or tone they want.
*'''Skills''': X5s, meant to be the (transgenic) officers, were exceptionally well trained and suited for military combat, strategy, and espionage (including various weapons and martial arts). All X5s endured brutal physical and mental training and rigid discipline (brainwashing) from childhood. The training combined with the enhanced physique makes them nearly unstoppable when facing normal humans, though they are by no means invincible. Trained as Manticore supersoldiers/assassins, some assumptions are that: X5s are highly skilled in CQB, recon, infiltration, tracking, observation, escape and evasion, espionage, computers, explosives, and handling vehicles (including various military planes and helicopters), have achieved fluency in many languages, and have a black belt in various martial arts such as Krav Maga, Taekwondo, and Judo. X5s, as children, were trained to hold their breath for four minutes and can hold their breath for much longer as adults. Alec (pre-series, as X5-494) became a concert-level pianist in less than a day in preparation for the Berrisford mission.
==Weaknesses==
The
Female x5s go into heat two to three times per year because of their feline DNA.
At least four of the X5 group have developed a fatal genetic problem, "a form of progeria similar to Werner syndrome. It's a spontaneous and rapid mutation of the genome, that expresses in the form of accelerated aging".

*All the X5s in Max's unit considered each other as brothers and sisters, though this relation was not genetic. Their only close blood relatives are their twins, whose existence they were unaware of while at Manticore.
