If the BAU were mutants ...

What would their powers be?

Reid almost has one already; could one count his intelligence and speed-reading as a mutant power, or would they be amped up somehow? (Maybe he just has to touch a book and he knows what it says?)

Garcia: is she into computers because she can sense electrical energy?

Is Morgan a bomb expert because he's a firestarter?

Did Seaver survive her serial killer father because she has a healing factor?

Was Prentiss such a good undercover operative because she's a chameleon?

What about JJ, Hotch, Rossi, Gideon, Kevin, Will, Strauss? Discuss.

Actually, he could be both....couldnt he? If anyone would have two powers, it would be Jason.

He's awesome like that.


This has so much potential for whump!Gideon, and AU. A combo of the two would means that Gideon would have to conduct himself very very carefully at the crime scene.

On the other hand, I could see an AU where Frank got his hands on Gideon, but sparing him when Gideon passes out the dissection table from the memories alone (because Frank needs his vics conscious), and being totally BSOD by the time the BAU arrives to unstrap him from it.


...and he would definitely hate hospitals.
