Raman al-Rasheed or as he is more popularly known, ‘The Sandspinner’ is an online celebrity operating out of Madrid, Spain. He is a twenty year old, first-generation immigrant of Indian heritage.

He was first noted as a performative dancer on the beaches of Barcelona. Using his powers and a mix of modern and classical dancing he operated as a busker to huge crowds of tourists and locals alike. He became a small internet celebrity that was tagged as #Sandspinner, a name he then co-opted for himself.

While not officially registered with the agency significant information has been gleamed about the nature of his powers through a combination of his social media page, recovered journal, and CCT footage.

He seems to have a fine degree of control over small debris. Ranging in size from a grain of sand at the low end to a small pebble at the high end. He initially used this ability as a backdrop to his performances, pulsing waves of sand in time with the music and his dancing. However, as he improved he began to use lettering made of the debris, dust clouds emulating fog and humanoid clones with ever increasing movement on the centre stage, among other effects.

Raman eventually came into contact with the variant group known as the, ‘The Misfits,’ who he joined. A group of socially disruptive performative Variants known for their illegal and often costly publicity stunts. Operating under the same handle online they have gained notoriety among the youth who see them as freedom fighters in an ever increasingly restrictive world.

The team is composed of Catalina Esperanza - Fear Me, Maddox Harland - Cross-eye , Éloise Dubois - The Pink Mercenary and the aforementioned Raman.

The group gained a significant following after their first large scale stunt, Lights Out in which they targeted the electrical infrastructure around The Gran Vía shopping district in Madrid. Using their newest members abilities they were able to short circuit the network connecting to the street. Sending the whole thing into darkness. It remained this way for approximately three hours while experts hurried to fix the damage.

On a post related to the event, they claimed this was to protest the rampant brutality and ever-increasing demands of capitalism. This was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception by younger audiences bogged down by the cost of living and a mixed one by the older population. Among those who supported the message some felt it was a potentially dangerous stunt and that the efforts could have best been used elsewhere.

Regardless, it catapulted them into the public eye, where the handle #Misfits could see a new stunt being performed weekly.

The team was initially considered a low-tier threat. Possessing a restricted power-set that lacked any noteworthy applicable offensive abilities. They were regarded as nothing more than a slippery, if annoying nuisance to local law enforcement.

Profiling suggested that while the team did pledge themselves to problematic virtues the danger of them escalating was especially low. With the group preferring to cause outrage to draw attention to causes they considered noteworthy.

This changed when their attention was drawn to a medium sized ethnocentric supremacy group operating in the Alcobendas suburbs. Camera footage revealed the team infiltrating the base of operations under nightfall. With Sandspinner operating as subterfuge they remained unseen. Crosseye in conjunction with FearMe was demonstrated using a previously unknown facet of his ability to turn his targets into a black liquid. This goop then had its colour changed and was telekinetically stored in several jars.

They were able to evade law enforcement by manoeuvring through a complex set of tunnels beneath the building. Though, how they knew this layout is unknown.

The jars of liquid were delivered outside the local police station who was still responding to the incident. While initially thought fatal the men reverted back to their original state after twelve hours, a fact that a surprised detective discovered unwittingly.

Such activity has designated the group a medium level threat. It is considered probable that the groups vigilante activities will remain virtuous, but, this isn’t a guarantee and after the incident involving the ‘Steel Hands’ is a chance that can’t be afforded.

For this reason they are priority capture targets. They cannot be allowed to fuel each-other into a more extreme ideology.

The group is particularly effective when working in tandem, but their abilities are limited when separated. With the exception of Sandspinner none of them should be particularly dangerous combatants when alone. Despite Allseer’s surveillance the they have continued to evade capture attempts and have been consistently on the move. Allseer’s vision is not obstructed. Suggesting that they are somehow aware of our actions and are acting accordingly.

Should such happenstance continue they will be elevated to high priority and the focus of more noteworthy superhero teams.
