Sydney Barrett

Sydney "Syd" Barrett is a mutant with the power to temporarily switch bodies with others. She was admitted to Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital with the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder. There, she met David Haller and fell in love with him, the two eventually joining Summerland in the fight against Division 3.

Early Life
Sydney was born to Joan Barrett and grew up in the city. Her mother was famously smart and wrote several notable essays. She was famous in several circles and often had parties, which she called "salons". Throughout her childhood, Sydney had several step-fathers.

Sydney's mutant abilities manifested at the age of sixteen. Her mother was dating a journalist, and Sydney accidentally swapped bodies with her mother and had sex with her mother's boyfriend. However, Sydney did not have control over her powers and returned to her own body while having sex with her mother's boyfriend. Their relationship ended almost immediately afterwards as Sydney's mother believed that her boyfriend was taking advantage of her daughter.

After becoming an adult, Sydney was admitted to Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital after her mother died of cancer. She was admitted under the care of Dr. Dennis Kissinger with a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.

Powers
Mind Exchange: Sydney's mutation allows her to switch minds with another individual through physical contact. When this occurs, her consciousness goes into the body of the person she touched and vice versa. After an undetermined period of time has lapsed, Sydney and the person she switched bodies with return to their original bodies, though they remain wherever they were at the time the switch took place. This power can be activated involuntarily if someone makes contact with Sydney against her will, as seen when David kissed her when she was about to leave Clockworks. As a result of her power, she feels uncomfortable making contact with other people, even when wearing gloves.

Abilities
Unarmed Combat: Sydney demonstrated being able to fight off numerous government soldiers without any weapons.
