WSST:

==Speedfreek bio==
You have listed his first name as Leon. Where did this information come from? Can you please cite the issue this name is given? [[User:Stuart Vandal|Stuart Vandal]] 17:42, 19 September 2006 (EDT)

I didn't do the Speedfreek bio. The only piece of info I added to this bio was the link to Crazy Eight's profile. I guess mine is the only name listed because of the errors this site has with listing all the contributers to a page. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I did remove the "Leon Shappe" from the Crazy Eight profile I did just in case it's incorrect.

Thanks. I wondered if that might have been the case, with the site's erratic memory. At the moment "Leon" remains highly questionable, unless someone can cite the source. [[User:Stuart Vandal|Stuart Vandal]] 05:50, 20 September 2006 (EDT)

== Code: Blue ==

Acotilletta2, can you please ensure that you follow existing naming conventions when posting new bios? All of your individual Code: Blue bios had to be moved as they were not posted as Surname, First Name. Also, please check the writing guidelines as you're still using "unnamed" when you should be using "unidentified". Thanks! --[[User:ComiX-Fan|ComiX-Fan]] 20:05, 9 October 2006 (EDT)

== Gatesworth ==

Good profile - The headshot image needs to get rid of the Goblin in the background. It gives the appearance that Gatesworth's alter-ego is the Goblin.--[[User:MikeFichera|MikeFichera]] 23:47, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Thanks. I put the shot in the background because Gatesworth is the Goblin's glider (I figured this showed his power while also showing him in his Virtual Reality Suit). If you want I can try to focus more on the glider. --acotilletta2

== Grog headshot ==

Hey, sorry but we should revert Grog back to nightmare_baby's. I like the faded montage look, but the quality and resolution of the image is much better. You want to take the new one and add in the faded background to it, go for it. --[[User:MikeFichera|MikeFichera]] 08:44, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Hi Mike, just wanted to make sure the image I put up is okay with you. Let me know, Thanks. --acotilletta

==Galactus==
I noticed that you are able to edit the protected pages. In the C0mpanion section there should be a link to the Tyrant profile. I noticed that there is no mention of the battle between Galactus and the Elder Gods Aegis (Lady of All Sorrows) and Tenebrous of the Darkness Between. It took place in Annihilation #3. --[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 17:49, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

I fixed the link to the Tyrant page, and since I see you had contributed to that page already, I wanted to ask you a question. Under group affiliation, it says Tyrant was a former herald, but I thought he was a companion and the heralds started with the Fallen One and the Silver Surfer. Could you let me know if I'm right because that information should be corrected if it's wrong. As far as the Annihilation information goes, I don't even see a section devoted to that storyline. I don't know if the mods of this site have to add that information or not even though I can perform minor edits to that page. If a mod gives me the okay ,I would gladly add that info and the battle between all those that you mentioned. I thought it was a pretty good fight too. --[[User:acotilletta|acotilletta]]
==Aegis (Lady of All Sorrows)==
Great changes thanks for making them. I tried to put in an edit adding the other Proemial Gods as relatives. Could you please make the minor edit for me?--[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 09:18, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

I don't mind doing the edit at all, but could you tell me where it lists all the Proemial Gods as relatives. I know they were created around the same time, but unless it actually states somewhere they're related, the mods may disapprove of the edit. As long as you have an issue to back it up, I'll do the edit right away. Thanks. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

It doesn't say that exacly anywhere in the comics but if you think about it they were all created in the same event at the same time. As shown in Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus #2. Also they all had to reason to born at that time and place. As they came to existence from the same source at the same time I would think they can be consider as siblings. Of course the moderators could have different opinion. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 11:44, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

==Annihilation==
I added a bunch of the Conquest characters to the list of characters on this page. I was thinking that since you had not updated it for a while, you might have been waiting for the arc to end. Let me know what your plans are. OH, Thank You again for your support. It is cool to know that my effort has been unnoticed.--[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 12:00, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

To tell the truth, I'm a little behind in my reading, but I was intending to put up a profile or two (maybe more) of some of the characters in Annihilation: Conquest (provided, of course, they're not up on the site already by the time I get around to it).

You're welcome. I know it must be frustrating to get started (with the approvals). I wish I could do more, but maybe my mentioning something may help you get noticed by the right people. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta2]]

== Gamma Corps ==

Check here [[OHOTMU:Bibliography-Hulk_2007#Gamma_Corps|Bibliography]]. Handbook list the comic as "World War Hulk: Gamma Corps". Comic itself have it named as "World War Hulk: Gamma Corps". If you really don't know the right title of the magazine it's always on the small text in couple first pages where there is all the copywrite things and other stuff. In all of them this has been named as "World War Hulk: Gamma Corps". Also just to point out this is not the first time in Civil War there was for example "Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways" where Civil War was included in the title. Also Annihilation was part of the name of several comics like "Annihilation: Silver Surfer", "Annihilation: Super-Skrull", "Annihilation: Nova" and "Annihilation: Ronan". To clear this out Nova was started over after "Annihilation: Nova" ended so it once again started from issue #1 as "Nova". Don't mix these in with Spider-Man, She-Hulk or other comics that were already going when Civil War, Annihilation or World War Hulk started. So in those the naming didn't change as these are just comics that are made for the event and so the event name is included in their name. I hope you now understand what I was trying to say and if that link doesn't make realize you are wrong then go find the "World War Hulk: Gamma Files" handbook and you will notice its named "World War Hulk: Gamma Corps" in there too. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 16:21, 6 January 2008 (CST)

You know Wezqu, I would thank you for sending me the link to the bibliography, but I find it hard to get past your condescending tone ("I hope you now understand what I was trying to say and if that link doesn't make realize you are wrong then..." If you would like to help out those of us who may make a mistake or two, that's fine, but in always trying to prove that you are always right is quite annoying. I am not the first person you have done this to, and I would like to point out that anyone else who may give advice to others on this site (myself included) are at least good natured about it and we are genuinely trying to help make this site as good as it can be. I know you will try to argue this fact because you ALWAYS like to have the last word, but I will leave you with this: If you cannot be courteous to the other fans of Marvel and of this site (myself included), then you should simply stick to creating your disambiguation pages and leave the rest of us alone. Of course, I speak for myself on this matter, but as I said before, I have read some of your rather arrogant comments to others. And just because the bibliography says that it is so, I will be changing the appropriate information on the Gamma Corps pages. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

Its only condescending when you take it like it would be like that. I don't want to have the last word but I don't always understand when I try to help people they take it quite negativly and don't really lissen what I say. Also if you all could do it like you want this place would be a mess I just try to put it like it should be (just to clear this out I don't mean like I want it to be. I mean like it should be as the moderators have dictated). I try to explain why but always somehow I'm the bad guy. I never take personally if someone goes and changes something on bio I have made as many times they are right on the changes. I usually check everything before I change something so I don't do a mistake and still I do them sometimes. I always help if someone askes it and I told you how things was. You were the one who were telling me I'm wrong when I was not. Also you said this "World War Hulk is part of this title then it must mean that all the titles of Marvel's crossovers were changed to this as well, and I have the books so I know the titles" sounds quite dismissing to me. Still I don't care about getting in a argument with anyone. I explained the first time to you why it was how it was but still you didn't really check anything just dismissed me as you thought you were right. One reason why I stopped editing it as you would have just changed it back and nothing would have been different. Just to point out the reason why I started to edit the Gamma Corps page was really the Griffin link as it was going to the wrong place. Also just to note you had yourself listed the comic wrong as "Gamma Force" when you first time posted the bio one reason why edited it also. I though you knew that OHOTMU page already so I'm sorry that I though you knew it and would have posted the link earlier. Write OHOTMU to the search part and it will take you to the page scroll down and you will find the links to bibliography and others might help you quite much. Also anything I say should not be taken personally but I'm sorry if you took it that way didn't really even mean it like that. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 05:39, 7 January 2008 (CST)

== Crater image ==
Anthony - can you upload the Crater image again? It shows up as a black square by me. But when I click on it, it shows up fine. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Thanks. --[[User:MikeFichera|MikeFichera]] 23:34, 25 February 2008 (EST)

Hey Mike - I uploaded the file again (as you can see), so I hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything else. -- [[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]] 5:51, 26 February 2008 (EST)

== About the site ==

Everything you post on the site is not yours anymore its Marvel's. Also every user has right to edit any profile they want. You don't have right to tell anyone that something in this site is yours or that anyone else doesn't have right to change it. You yourself are the one who takes this personally not me. Also I have done some bios here but to courtesy to moderators have cut them down as I don't use english as main language so mistakes are frequent. Still you yourself take every little change on your bios as somekind of personal attack. I know nobody likes that someone else fixes mistakes but you can't tell anyone to stop correcting things here as its community place like wikipedia. Also you yourself talk to me like I would be someone who doesn't know anything. Also anything I changed on the bio was info that is right and you can't try to blame me of making the site more accurate. Also I don't do this because I want regonition of this. I'm doing this as I like Marvel and if this is a way to help them then I'm happy to do it. Also if you really wan't to keep your aliases on the page then make minor change on it every time your name disapears then its there again. I don't really care that my alias is there I'm not here so that I get praised. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 18:27, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Also just wanted to mention to you that I was just searching comics that have Bar With No Name so I could add them to the significant issues section so someone who wants to add the info on the bio could but now I don't really even feel like doing it anymore as its your bio. Just wanted to help but you seem to think this is just for you. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 18:35, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

First off, Wezqu, nothing I put on this site is ever mine. It is always Marvel's property, and I can say anything I wish (you do know we have freedom of speech here). All I asked was for you to be considerate of others instead of treating everyone as imbeciles while you think you know more than us. You see, I do what I do on this site because I, too, have been a Marvel fan for many, many years, and I want to contribute to the company I feel I have been a part of for so long. And yes (and excuse me if this sounds wrong to you), I would like people to know that I have contributed to this site because I am proud to be a part of it. Do I think the site is just for me? Of course not. Do I take anyone changing a profile of mine as a personal attack? No one save for you because (and I've said this before) I feel you go out of your way to belittle people. I am more than content to be a part of this site for as long as it will have me, and my love for the characters is the only thing that makes sharing this site with you bearable. I have never said that all the information you add is incorrect, but I did say that your head swells every time you do contribute to another's page. As far as I'm concerned (because I know you'll want the last word as always), I'm done with this discussion because I feel you've missed my point. You want to help? Fine, but try not to be so high and mighty when you do. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

Yeah I'm always the high and mighty as you seem to think so its fine by me. I know there is no way to change someones opinion when he just missunderstands people but doesn't really care that I have said several times that I don't try to be ******* here. I never said you are idiot or anyone is. Still you could give good explanation why things should not be like that and not come barking my head of every time I change something in your bio. I always give good explanation and if that doesn't suit you then ask why it was changed I'm happy to tell you why. Still the category is in the right place in recent years Bar With No Name is mostly seen in Spider-Man and its already part of the comic. Categories are there to be used and it would be missleading if it would not be in the page. I don't go over my way to make you people look bad. I just usually check some profiles I might know something and add if there is some things missing or mistakenly writen wrong. Still I'm not ignorent ******* who doesn't care at all and judges people being ******* when I have stated several times I'm not trying to hurt anyone or make them look bad. To me you are taking everything I say personally when its never has been personal. Still if you really want to think I'm somekind of ******* then do so I don't really care this is not the first or the last when people judge me when they don't know anything about me. Also that high and mighty additude is always with yourself because you always take that "you want the last word" thing when you know it wont make you better it just shows that you start an argument and then back away as you think it make you look better. It doesn't make you "winner" of the conversation when you decline to talk about it because you say its over after you say what you have to say. Its quite frankly nice when you do the same thing you accuse me to be doing. No offence of course but you seem to have some personal issues with me that I don't even get why as I don't have any with you. Also I got your point that you want me to ask you to edit profiles that you have done yourself. I'm not going to do that as you try to resrict my access to the site that goes against the Terms and Conditions of this site. I still retain on my right to add information and edit missleading information. Also you don't have to right to ask anyone to let you only edit a profile as it goes against the site rules it doesn't matter that you have freedom of speech you still can't ask someone to do something that is against the rules. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 06:00, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

The only thing I have to say to your response is this: One - I'm not trying to restrict anything but your childish and inconsiderate attitude towards others; Two - Say what you want and do what you want because you and I will NEVER have a conversation again (especially because you have proven not be up to par in a battle of wits as you have to resort to profanities); and Three - you want to tell me about the rules, but I have also read the terms and conditions of this site and you seemed to have missed this one:

"you agree that you shall not upload, post, transmit, distribute or otherwise publish through the Web Site or any service or feature made available on or through the Web Site, any materials which...ii) are fraudulent, unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, '''obscene''', '''vulgar''', '''offensive''', pornographic, '''profane''', sexually explicit or '''indecent''', " (the words in bold are everything I would describe the foul language you have used in your response)

For you to use profanities as many times as you did shows the level of respect you have for this site and for those you speak to. This is not to say I have not used such language from time to time in my personal life, but I have enough class (and common sense) to not use it here. You never know if there are children reading any of the postings on this site. I would only ask you to never use that kind of language again, and never use it when talking to me. It is inappropriate and uncalled for. Thank you and good bye. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

Removed those words that can be taken offence. Still I wanted you to see them as thats what you think I am. You claim to take the high road but still take a fit every time I edit something. Should I beg for every time I change a topic of yours so I can change it. I'm not going to let you dictate what I can do on this site like you try to do here. You yourself have broken one of those rules you listed as you have posted offensive messages against me so don't try to be the man who thinks he has right to do that when you are telling me I can't. I don't really like to be accused to be something I'm not and you have done it several times. I apology that I used vulgar terms put they were there to make a point. Still I wan't you to apology your own behaviour as you have called me several times to be some high and mighty person who I'm not. If you won't do that you aren't better than me at all and your par is really much lower than my. I wasn't the one who started to call others with names. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 06:09, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

You still don't get it, and you won't get an apology from me for something I haven't done. I will try one last time to explain this to you, and if you don't get it after this, I am completely done with this conversation. I have not tried to restrict you from doing anything on this site. You feel that you put a good reason every time you make an edit to a page EVEN IF someone changes the edit back and gives a good reason of his own to cancel your edit. After that, you redo the change a second time and (maybe it's because english is not your native language) you come back with something that makes it sound as if you are almost yelling or being sarcastic to the person. For instance you think Bar With No Name should be in the Spider-Man category, but yet it has been in so many other books as you yourself have listed. I say, because it has shared so many other titles that it is misleading to list it as only taking part in Spider-Man. If your reasoning is correct, then almost every hero, villain, place and team should be listed in Spider-Man's category as many have graced his pages over and over again, but yet they are not. However, to you this is not a good explanation, and only yours is the one that counts. That is the type of behavior I do not like from you. Nothing else. You have done it to others too - correcting hair color to something you feel is right, but is actually wrong, waiting for months on end to have a moderator delete a profile that someone worked hard on because you didn't feel it should be listed the way they listed it (whether they are right or wrong, it should be up to a mod to figure out and not your constant hounding to get what you want). Just because I'm the only one that may mention it to you does not mean I'm accusing you of anything that you're not actually doing. I hope you understand what I am talking about this time. I appreciate that you removed the profanities from your last post, but again, please try to a make your point without using them in the future. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

Ok, thank you for the explanation and I'm not meaning this any way negativly, but why couldn't you wrote that in the first time and not that text where I don't really know what is the facts that you got riled up. I'm not dismissing you text so I answer every of those points now and anything I say I don't mean be any way dissmissive. I will start on the Spider-Man thing as it seems to be the vocal point of this matter. The category doesn't mean its just Spider-Man comic place it means that its part of Spider-Man comic if there would be Captain America category I would have added it to that as well. Adding that category doesn't dissmiss any of the other comics it has been in, but in reality is helping people find it who search things through category pages. Those categories are ment to be there to easilly find pages that are part of the category. For example I give you [[Atlas (Erik Josten)]] page he is listed in Spider-Man category as when he used alias Smuggler he mostly was seen in Spider-Man comics but it still doesn't dissmiss that he also has been part of Thunderbolts and other comics with other aliases. The categories aren't just for characters and places that are originally made for that comic but to those that frequently were part of the comic in atleast some time. Still those comics I added to significant issues section most of them were Spider-Man comics and those were the most recent ones so in reality it is already part of the comic. Of course not all the pages can be there like Doctor Doom even if Spider-Man have met him several times isn't his villain.

Then the hair color thing. Yes I did change it as I though it was right still I didn't change it back after he changed it as he gave good explanation. As the character doesn't have official handbook bio it can't be really checked if the hair color is right. If moderator doesn't change it or its listed as orange in handbook I'm not going to change it again. Its still listed as red like ohitsme changed it to. I haven't touched it after he changed it. So your how I want it doesn't fit in this matter.

First of all I don't ask moderators delete bios I'm asking them to move them not because I wan't them to be moved because for example there is several people using the alias and character thats listed under the main alias page is character that is not the character thats now active with the alias is also missleading. People try to find the active character but end up in the non-active characters page. Also the moving doesn't take the credit away from the person as the contributors will be trasfered also. Also only bio text I delete are text that are taken from external sources like wikipedia as its illegal to copy text from other sites to here. Also the moving mention is just so that moderator will notice it otherwise he might not even notice it being in the wrong place. I'm not telling him to move it I'm just noting it that it might need moving. Also I usually list them on the moving list here [[Marvel Universe:Wanted]] giving the explanation why they should be moved and its up to the moderators if they want to move them. There are several pages that are in the wrong place for many different reason. Still every thing I do are by the rules and advices I got from the moderators. I'm doing this by their book not mine so I'm not the one inventing the rules here. Only time I said that profile needs to be deleted was Lord Chaos & Master Order bio that had two characters and on the top of that there already was Lord Chaos and Master Order bios done seperatly as they should be done. Every character should have their own bio.

I still ask for the apology as you didn't really explain yourself clearly to me the first time if you would have done that this hole argument could have been avoided. Also once again I say anything I said should not be taken anyway negativly and if you have something to add or ask just do so. Just don't come guns placing accusing people it doesn't really help you know. No offence of course. Also as I said I really don't try to be sarcastic and never even felt like yelling to someone when I wrote the description. Sorry if it seemed like I did even in this matter I should not need to apoligy but I will do it anyway. Please could you read your first post again because there is thing that I would take offensivly and only those thing I want the apoligy not for your point in the matter. Is it really so much to ask? --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 08:55, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

I did not ask you to say you were sorry, and the reason I lashed out the way I did was because of my initial impression of your response to mine (as I stated above). I wrote my first post in a sarcastic manner because that is how I thought you were speaking to me, so I got a little heated at the moment. I do apologize that I did not make myself clearer the first time, but I think we are now on the same page. As you can see, too, I mainly keep to myself and simply post characters when I get some free time away from my day job. I did not mean for this to be so drawn out, but next time, if there is a next time, I will be sure to ask about an issue or a particular reasoning I do not understand. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

== Disambiguation pages ==

I'm just contacting you of the [[Bride of Nine Spiders (disambiguation)]] page. If you could make the descriptions little shorter. One of the atleast are just barely over the five to six line rule. Like descriptions should be short just about five to six lines not including the name link. Also just to note that you can't put the other character under unrevealed when the first characters name hasn't been revealed either. You could change it to successor or something else that describes the character. I might have changed it myself but I'm not really familiar with the characters and thought as you made it you are so I will leave it to you to fix. Thanks for your time. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 14:16, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

Done and done. Thanks for pointing that out. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

== Guardians of the Galaxy ==

Well I thought to clarify why I made that link correction. That Guardians of the Galaxy page was posted in the wrong place from the start as its not from Earth-616. I was just saying that as you changed the link to include the Earth-616 you made it possible to someone to make the page under that. If it would have been made it would have been in the wrong place as Earth-616 character are listed without the Earth designation. Also if the page under the Earth-616 designation would have been done later the moderators would have to move both pages not just the other Guardians of the Galaxy. I was only thinking the moderators as there is enough problems on the site to fix without us making more. I quite frankly would wait them to move it as it should be on the to do list when they manage to make the site work right. I'm not accusing anyone of doing anything wrong. I hope this clarified what I ment. Keep up the good work. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 16:30, 15 July 2008 (EDT)

== Kali ==

There is several characters that have been called Kali. Check the [[Kali (disambiguation)|disambiguation page]]. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 04:40, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

I only followed the link under the [[Oblivion]] page. I'll fix it under Kali (agent), and I'll correct all the links that pertain to it starting with the Oblivion page. --acotilletta

Hi Guys, the botched link for Kali is my bad. I did not to check if there were any other links. I'm sorry for the frustration Anthony. --[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 10:58, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

No big deal...and no frustration either. Just retyped a couple of things, that's all. Everything should be all good now. I just hope they fix the uploading problem. I have a lot of images to put up for all the recent bios I've posted (as I'm sure you do too). --acotilletta

== Highwayman ==

Just wanted to let you know there is three more characters that have used alias Highwayman so the main tittle should be reserved for redirect. I will update the disambiguation page so you can repost the bio in the right place. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 06:44, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

== [[Knowhere]] ==

While putting this profile together I started to realize that the severed head used as Knowhere is the head of Ziran. At least that what it looks like. Can you tell me if I am right or wrong. --[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 14:28, 19 September 2009 (EDT)

Knowhere wasn't specified to be the head of any known Celestial as of yet (at least not in the Guardians of the Galaxy mag anyway). --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

==Lady Deadpool==

Hey I noticed you changed the image for the profile page, although there was nothing wrong with the original image to begin with. This is the second time that you have done this, and I am not understanding why? It is my understanding that the images are to remain as they were unless you were adding a new costume pic or new character design or if the original image did not highlight the character (meaning that there was other charactes, body parts or posibility word bubbles in the pic). This was not the case in either event. I also thought when a new character design or custume is added the old image just moves to and in-line image. I think it was addressed a while ago about changing images just because you are not agreement with it.--[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 09:00, 22 April 2010 (CDT)

Actually, I explained why I changed the main image for the profile (read inside the parenthesis). You may not think there was anything wrong with the picture, but there was. The background image(s) should be faded out a bit, so the foreground image stands out. When you place pictures on here, sometimes you fail to do that and the image looks like a mess. As in the case with Death Ninja, the main image was distorted. The foreground pic was placed at a weird angle and the tips of the swords were non-existent. You may think it looks good, but I'm not of the same opinion. In the same respect, if I don't think the main image is good enough for that, I wouldn't move it to an inline pic as it still has the same problem. I have had an image or two changed by others on the website when I failed to represent the character in a way they thought it should be represented, and I tried to learn from my mistakes. You shouldn't get insulted because I'm mainly looking to keep the site as professional looking as possible, and I have changed many others images for other characters you had nothing to do with. I can't say I will stop adjusting images I feel can be improved upon because chances are, I probably won't. If you would rather me let you know when one of your images are questionable for me, so you can have the chance to update it before I do, I can do that. -- [[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

I would definitely appreciate it if you were to inform me of problems or potential problems, and I will make the necessary corrections. Because it would be very easy for me to say that I am not fun of the images that you put up, which I am not, but it is not for me to change them because I do not care for the way they are formatted. --[[User:ohitsme|ohitsme]] 10:31, 22 April 2010 (CDT)

Which images would those be and why is that, if you would be so kind to explain yourself about the formatting? I upload almost everything in the 442 X 442 area as I was told to do so. [[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

==Categories==
Hey acotilletta2, first of all congratulations on becoming an Editor. I have a few questions for you, under categories I noticed that there is a category listed as Demon, is this an official listing? If so should it be listed in plural form? One other question is the Kree category official as well? I noticed that some of the links in a few of the categories are not opening up correctly? Is this because of transitional glitches or something all together different? Oh yeah, good work on the Hulk category. --[[User:Ohitsme|Ohitsme]] 21:03, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the acknowledgment. I was very surprised and flattered with the moderator status. To answer your question, there are some categories (I think they show in red) which are not official categories - at least to my knowledge. Even before I made the Hulk category, I got permission to do so, but as far as the other categories go, I'll ask for you because if they aren't supposed to be there some clean up is in order then. I don't see why they couldn't be, but I'm still new (in this position) and I don't want to set something in stone without getting the okay first. --[[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

Thank you, I will wait to hear back from you. --[[User:Ohitsme|Ohitsme]] 22:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I asked about the other categories, and there may still be some debate over which stay and which go, so we'll just have to wait a bit longer until the decision is finalized. -- [[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

OK and thank you. --[[User:Ohitsme|Ohitsme]] 22:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi acotilletta, I don't know wiki codes so I leave those alone; I like helping proofread for spelling and grammar here and there though. I do have a question for you. What do the plus and minus numbers mean under recent changes? [[User:spidey287|spidey287]]23:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Spidey287, how are you? The plus and minus numbers are a point system for contributors on the Marvel website. Points can be added when something is approved to appear on a character profile, but in the same respect points can be taken away for certain reasons. There are still some issues being ironed out with the point system, but in a nutshell that's what those numbers mean. -- [[User:acotilletta2|acotilletta]]

Thanks, yeah. Oh I'm good, I just thought I'd try and introduce myself proper to some of you guys. ;-)
About that, yeah when I correct typos and fix grammar sometimes it shows pluses and other times minuses, wasn't sure why.

Also, the longer my description of the mistake I corrected sometimes that gives different numbers too. Even when it's the same kind of mistakes. [[User:Spidey287|Spidey287]] 04:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
& some of the box lists under: My contributions are blue, a few red sometimes and the rest unhighlighted. Not sure what that's about but I dug in for the long haul so to speak. 04:41, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[[User:Spidey287|Spidey287]]

The point system at this time seems to work how it works in wikipedia. When you add text you get plus points and when you remove text you get minuses. Those that are blue in your contributions have been reviewed by moderators and those that are red haven't been. When you are a new user your edits might not show immidiatly on the page but need to approval of one of the moderators like acotilletta here. Also congratulations for the mod status acotilletta. --[[User:Wezqu|Wezqu]] 09:51, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Wezqu, that makes more sense to me now. 00:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[[User:Spidey287|Spidey287]]

==Sack==
Hi Acotilletta, my fault, I should have redirected the main page as I started to, but I noticed that there is now a button for (disambiguation)‎ pages. I thought it would automatically list the page as such. I apologize for my mistake.--[[User:Ohitsme|Ohitsme]] 17:46, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

hi.My intention always was to update bios, characters, etc.. but I see that even if not a spoiler, there are complications. I do not understand. and I'm leaving this site / group. goodbye,everybody. thanks.

| height = 5'6"
| weight = 147 lbs.
| eyes = Green
| hair = Black
| powers = X-23 possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of her cellular structure at a [[Glossary:S#superhuman|superhuman]] rate, which varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage she suffers. Despite the extent of her healing factor, X-23 is not immortal. Injuries that result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form are potentially lethal for her. X-23's natural healing also affords her virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases and the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity. Hence, her endurance, agility and reflexes are enhanced. X-23 also possesses superhumanly acute senses, allowing her to see and hear things at an extended distance. She is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden, and can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.
X-23's skeleton includes two retractable bone claws in each arm and one in each foot that she can extend and retract at will. These claws are housed beneath the skin and muscle. Unsheathing them causes her skin to tear and bleed, but the wounds are quickly dealt with by her healing factor. X-23 can unsheathe any number of these claws at once, although she must keep her wrists and/or feet straight at the moment the claws emerge. The claws are naturally sharp, tougher than normal human bone and have been coated with [[Glossary:A#Adamantium|Adamantium]], allowing X-23 to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.
Presumably, because X-23 is a [[Glossary:C#clone|clone]] of the mutant Wolverine, her healing factor will also provide her with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.
| paraphernalia = X-23's claws have been coated with the nigh-indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, her claws are virtually unbreakable and are capable of cutting through almost any substance depending on its thickness and the amount of force she can exert. Due to her healing factor, the presence of Adamantium in her body does not interfere with her bones' normal function of generating blood corpuscles.

{{bio|
bio_text= When a top-secret program attempted to recreate the original [[Weapon X]] experiment that involved the feral [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutant]] Wolverine, they failed to secure a test subject that could survive the bonding of the virtually unbreakable metal Adamantium to their skeleton. Seeking to take the project in a new direction, the project's director, Doctor Martin Sutter, recruited renowned mutant [[Glossary:G#genetics|geneticist]] Doctor Sarah Kinney and tasked her with creating a clone. Using the only available [[Glossary:G#genetic|genetic]] sample from Weapon X, which was damaged, they were unable to salvage the Y chromosome after 22 attempts. Kinney then proposed they create a female clone, and though her request was initially denied, she still went ahead and produced a viable female subject, prompting Sutter to reconsider. Despite resistance from his protégé Doctor Zander Rice, whom he had raised after Rice's father was killed by a bestial Wolverine at the original Weapon X Project, Sutter allowed Kinney to proceed. As revenge for her insubordination, Rice forced Kinney to act as the surrogate mother for the clone, and she gave birth to "X-23."

[[image: x-2301.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]Raised in captivity, X-23 was trained to be a weapon. Kinney did her best to ensure the child retained some semblance of humanity, but her efforts appeared to be in vain. After seven years, Rice had X-23 subjected to radiation poisoning in order to accelerate the activation of her mutant gene, then forcibly extracted her claws and coated them with Adamantium. Next, Rice created a chemical compound he called "trigger scent" that sent X-23 into an involuntary berserker rage upon smelling its presence. Three years later, X-23 was sent on her first field mission to kill Presidential candidate Greg Johnson. Numerous other missions followed, as X-23's services were sold to the highest bidder, and she was left emotionally stunted as a result. Rice, in an attempt to avenge his father's murder, abandoned X-23 on a particularly dangerous mission, but she survived against overwhelming odds and managed to return to the facility.

Ultimately, Rice persuaded Sutter to hand over control of the program to him, then secretly ordered X-23 to kill Sutter and his family. Later, Rice revealed to Kinney a chamber with dozens of incubation pods containing female clones before he fired her. Before fleeing the facility with X-23, Kinney gave her one last mission - destroy the pods and kill Rice. However, Rice was able to exact revenge on Kinney from beyond the grave, as he had earlier exposed her to the trigger scent, sending X-23 into a rage that caused her to kill her mother. As she lay dying, Kinney named X-23 Laura.

[[image: x-2302.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]X-23 surfaced in New York two years later and was found living on the streets by a pimp named [[Zebra Daddy]], who took her in and employed her as a prostitute. During her time as a prostitute, X-23 seemed to suffer from a self-mutilating disorder. She superficially cut herself with her own claws whenever she was in a threatening situation. She also seemed to suffer some personality issues which left her mostly mute and unable to free herself from the grip of Zebra Daddy. X-23 started to come to her senses after she met [[Nixon, Kiden|Kiden Nixon]], a young mutant with the ability to freeze [[Glossary:T#time|time]] when in danger, and together with Kiden's teacher, they rescued another young mutant, the feral [[Catiana]], from an angry mob. Zebra Daddy tracked X-23 down, but with the aid of her newfound friends and the mutant named [[Felon]], Zebra Daddy's thugs were defeated. X-23 then killed him to save the lives of her friends. X-23 later took a job at the mutant-themed Wannabee's nightclub in the [[Mutant Town]] district of New York. It was there that she saved the life of the daughter of mob boss Don Parisi from a gang of thugs, whom she killed. The deaths inadvertently implicated Wolverine, prompting his teammates in the [[X-Men]] to investigate. X-23 instinctually attacked Wolverine on sight, but he was eventually able to calm her down, and she led the X-Men to Parisi's daughter. After aiding the X-Men against Parisi's super-strong mutant enforcer [[Geech]], X-23 fled the scene. She later returned to help the X-Men save victims of a car accident, after which she was enrolled at the X-Men's [[Xavier Institute For Higher Learning|Xavier Institute]].

X-23 quickly became very protective of Wolverine, attacking his teammate [[Bishop (Lucas Bishop)|Bishop]] after he felled Wolverine during a training session. She also took to observing Wolverine on the mansion's security monitors. During one such viewing, an anomalous energy spike prompted X-23 to investigate. Encountering [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]] at the source of the signal, X-23 initially mistook him for an enemy and attacked. The pair ultimately teamed up to save the young mutant [[Patterson, Paul|Paul Patterson]] from an [[Glossary:A#Alternate Earth|alternate reality]] version of the armored [[Avengers|Avenger]] [[Iron Man (Anthony Stark)|Iron Man]]. The arrival of the heroic [[Captain America (Steve Rogers)|Captain America]] and the super-spy [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow]] helped turn the tide. X-23 then secretly followed Wolverine on his investigation of strange activity in the Canadian Rockies. Ambushed by the Hauk'ka, evolved Saurians from the [[Savage Land]], X-23 managed to escape and alert the X-Men. Traveling to the Savage Land, X-23 and the X-Men teamed with the Land's lord [[Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder)|Ka-Zar]] and his circumstantial allies, the [[Savage Land Mutates]], to prevent the Hauk'ka from destroying human civilization by controlling the weather-manipulating X-Man [[Storm]].

Sometime later, X-23 turned up in the in two other X-titles, without her friends. She was accused of the murders of four [[Humans|humans]] that were investigated by Wolverine and his fellow X-Men. (While she was responsible for the murders, she committed them because the victims were brutally attacking a young woman.) After a brief conflict with the mutant [[Glossary:S#super hero|heroes]], X-23 came to live with them at the Xavier Institute. She has nearly no social skills, so Wolverine is helping her adjust to her new life. She seems to be making friends with [[Pryde, Kitty|Shadowcat]], [[Psylocke]], and [[Marvel Girl (Rachel Summers)|Rachel Summers]]. X-23 was approached by the [[Glossary:C#cosmic|cosmic]] Uni-Power in hopes of making specific use of her healing ability. Although she initially resisted its attempts to bond with her, and she remained reluctant even though it pleaded with her, she ultimately agreed to aid it and became Captain Universe for a brief time.

[[Image:x23target.jpg|right|250px|thumb]]After the effects of [[House of M|"M-Day"]], X-23 was one of the few students who didn't lose their powers. The depowered students and staff were sent home; however their bus was bombed by anti-mutant religious zealot [[Stryker, William|Reverend William Stryker]]. Subsequently, [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]] had the surviving students engage in an all-in brawl, with those deemed to be the best performers assigned to a new team of trainee X-Men. Despite Frost's attempts to omit her, X-23 was among those students who made the grade.

Shortly afterwards, following Stryker's attack on the ex-mutant students, X-23 heard [[Dust]] talking to [[Icarus (Jay Guthrie)|Icarus]], who had fled the Mansion. Dust intended to meet Jay, but Laura told her it was a trap, and had to knock out her roommate to keep her safe. Donning Dust's burkha X-23 came to Stryker's compound and was shot. After a few minutes spent healing and playing possum, Laura returned to the Mansion to help fend off Stryker and his goons.

The team gave more respect to Laura following her part in stopping Stryker's attack, in which she single-handedly killed three Purifiers. Following that she started to bond with her friends, using her enhanced hearing to find out what happened to Icarus for them, learning that Stryker killed him.

After Surge received a distress call from [[Forge]], X-23 followed the team along to Dallas to rescue him from the [[Sentinels|Sentinel]] [[Nimrod (Sentinel)|Nimrod]]. At the height of the desperate battle she managed to cut through to the interior of the machine with her claws, allowing the Sentinel to be defeated. She was wounded during the battle and was unable to heal herself. In order to save X-23, [[Hellion|Julian]] supercharged his [[Glossary:T#telekinetic|telekinetic]] powers with the help of Emma Frost in order to rush her back to the mansion where she was healed by [[Elixir]]. As Hellion recovered his strength, and found that his power levels were enhanced, Laura kept watch over him. Emma Frost confronted Laura, asking her to leave the school because of the trigger scent saying that she was a danger to everyone at the institute even Julian. Their conversation is cut short by Cessily ([[Mercury]]) coming to Laura's defense. Mercury persuades Laura to go for coffee and discuss Laura's crush on Julian. However, the cafe is attacked by [[Kimura]] and her minions. though Laura thought that Kimura was after her, she was really after Cessily.

Laura goes back to the Xavier Institute when Hellion interrupts her as she is gearing up to attack against the facility. He informs her that he is coming with her. The two find a hide out where Laura interrogates a man at gun point. Upon securing the information she needs, X-23 shoots him in the head. Julian is shocked and tells her that killing will no longer be a part of their interrogation technique, X-23 remains silent and the two continue their search for the facility.

| powers = Cypher was a master of translating languages, spoken or written, [[Humans|human]] or [[Glossary:A#alien|alien]] in origin, including deciphering codes and computer languages. Cypher’s skills were such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an [[Glossary:E#extraterrestrial|extraterrestrial]] race in a matter of minutes.

Cypher’s [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutant]] talent for translating differed from the translating ability that a human who is a genius in this field, yet not a mutant, possesses, even though both people might achieve the same results with any given translation problem. Cypher’s mutant talent was an intuitive one which worked on a subconscious level, and which may in part be related to [[Glossary:T#telepathy|telepathy]]. A non-mutant human, even a genius, would have to work out a translation consciously, step by step. Cypher, however, could subconsciously solve the problem. Hence, Cypher could reach the correct solution by means that appeared to be leaps of logic, and he himself may not have been consciously aware of the entire process by which he reached the right answer.

}}{{bio|
bio_text= Douglas Ramsey was a teenage friend of [[Pryde, Kitty|Kitty Pryde]] of the [[X-Men]], sharing an interest in computers and video games. Although Ramsey became a friend of the New Mutants, he was unaware that he and they were mutants. However, when the techno-organic alien (Technarch) being Warlock arrived on [[Earth]] and, confused and terrified, found himself battling the New Mutants. Seeking to communicate with the alien, the New Mutants summoned Ramsey and revealed their [[Glossary:S#secret identity |costumed identities]] to him. Ramsey succeeded in initiating communications with Warlock, and both joined the New Mutants. Ramsey was code-named Cypher, after his ability to decipher languages.

Cypher became close with Warlock, who aided Ramsey in battle situations by merging with him, creating a single being that operated as a gestalt. When they merged, they took the form of Ramsey’s human body covered with Warlock’s “living circuitry”, allowing Ramsey to perceive his environment in the same way Warlock did. At first, Ramsey’s and Warlock’s consciousnesses remained separate within the single body; the more the pair merged, their personalities rapidly began to resemble one another’s. Cypher also aided Warlock in his fight against his father, the [[Magus (Technarchy)|Magus]], by reprogramming the Magus to an infant state.

Following the capture of the New Mutants by the mad scientist the [[Ani-Mator]], on the island known as “Paradise” in the Atlantic Ocean, Cypher was killed when he dove in front of a bullet fired by the Ani-Mator at [[Wolfsbane]]. One of the [[Phalanx]], humans mutated by the Technarch, later took a form combining the minds and powers of Cypher and Warlock, as Douglock, and later [[Warlock (Technarchy)|Warlock]].

Recently, Cypher was revived with an alien techno organic virus. Later he rejoined the New Mutants.

| height = 6'8"
| weight = 350 lbs.
| eyes = Blue
| hair = White (formerly Brown)
| powers = Cable possesses vast psychic power, most often manifested in the forms of telepathy and telekinesis. His telepathy has proven great enough in power and scope as to allow him to read thoughts across vast distances, and even interface with multiple minds, simultaneously. While the full limits of his mental abilities in this area have yet to be disclosed, Cable has also demonstrated the ability to project bolts or blasts of mental energy that are capable of easily killing or rendering unconscious another Human being. These bolts do not do physical damage. Cable has also demonstrated mastery of astral projection, and is able to remain on his own plane of existence, or to traverse into any of the so-called "Astral Planes", very much like Professor X.

Telekinetically, Cable is capable of very fine control over objects; he can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.), and just as quickly and easily assemble complex devices. This also has enabled him to even attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electrons in an atom. For instance, Cable could detect if a seal was hermetic, or not, by checking for the presence of penetrating oxygen molecules. He could even detect and discern individual oxygen molecules, and determine the atomic weight of molecules, by the amount of atoms present. Cable has also demonstrated the ability to alter molecular and atomic structures in such substances as his own techno-organic components (though this may be a function of telekinesis, as opposed to a discreet superhuman power).

On larger levels, Cable can levitate great weights, into the tons, but his upper limit has remained undisclosed. This is possible that he doesn’t know his own limits, but it is unlikely, due to his intense commitment to training; more likely, Cable chooses not to disclose the full extent of his abilities, as he knows this is data that could be utilized against him, by opponents or even former allies. Cable has also been seen creating protective force fields around himself and others through the use of his telekinetic powers. The upper limits of this ability remain unknown, but it is believed that he could probably protect himself from harm at the ground zero detonation of a 1 kiloton nuclear warhead (4.18 terajoules of energy from the heat, concussion and radiation effects). It is possible that this may not be his upper limit, and may also be an indicator of the limits of his ability to lift large weights telekinetically. Cable has also displayed such control over the fields as to shape them precisely, even to conform very closely to his body’s form. There does not appear to be any correlation between field strength and the thickness of the telekinetic fields. Originally, Cable was telekinetically preoccupied by using his power to inhibit the progression of his body’s techno-organic virus throughout his body, and this was a process that required constant attention. With the solution to this problem through his merger with a techno-organic embryo, however, this function is no longer necessary, leaving him totally free to concentrate his telekinetic powers on other things.

He has displayed the ability to control the minds and even voluntary and involuntary bodily functions of sentient beings (such as other Humans)

Cable has proven very difficulty to psychically assail, as he is very well skilled in shielding his own mind from mental-attacks (such as attempts to read, control or harm his own mind), and has been sufficient to protect himself from other psychics on the level of Phoenix (Jean Grey), Professor X and Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey).

Much of Cable’s body has been infiltrated and altered by the techno-organic virus, which has taken the form of cybernetics and bionics, meaning he is a cyborg. The primary infection resides in Cable’s left side. As a consequence of his telekinetic guidance and his ability to control his own physical substance, Cable’s entire body has been heavily fortified, down to the cellular level, rendering superhuman strength to an unknown degree, as well as a superhuman level of resistance to physical harm. While he was injured in combat with the Hulk, the injuries were not nearly as severe as they should’ve been, especially in light of the fact that he was suffering from the effects of his techno-organic virus getting out of control. His entire skeletal structure has been replaced by porous, marrow-filled organic metalloid bone replacements that do not interfere with the creation of erythrocytes (red blood cells).

Cable possesses superhuman physical endurance, just as he does superhuman levels of mental endurance. He is capable of exerting himself at peak levels (fighting full-out, sprinting, etc.) for several hours, before fatigue begins to visibly impair his performance. He is also capable of going extended periods of time without sleep, being fully capable of fully resting with not much over an hour of sleep. However, whenever both possible and feasible, Cable still chooses to sleep for hours at a time (approximately 6 – 8), in order to dream. This high endurance has had other effects on his body, making even his soft tissues extremely durable, and more than up to the task of rendering him virtually immune to conventional firearms and conventional firearm munitions.

His entire CNS (Central Nervous System) has been augmented by chemical changes down to the atomic level and by biocomputer enhancement, rendering his reaction time far above what is possible for a Human being. In spite of his great size and impressive build, Cable is literally fast enough to evade high-powered bullets in-flight (after they have been fired), and even has the ability to visually track rounds after they’ve been fired (though they are not easy to see, except through his cybernetic eye). This great speed is also visible in superhuman levels of dexterity and agility, including manual and pedal dexterity. Spotting the speedster Super-Saber running at superhuman speed, Cable was actually able to physically attack and stop him. Super-Saber, himself, was fast enough to create “sonic booms” by snapping his fingers, and also had superhumanly high reaction time. However, in spite of his obviously great speed, he is still not as fast as other paranormals like Spider-Man and Daredevil.

Among his many cybernetic functions, Cable possesses a cybernetic left eye. This eye permits Cable to see deep into the EM (Electro-Magnetic) spectrum, and far deeper than any known 20th – 21st century technologies are capable of. It is also possible that through this eye, Cable is able to see the deployment of psionic energies, as well as the less exotic spectra of electromagnetic energies.
His left arm is completely mechanical, and while Cable is ambidextrous, is his stronger arm, probably capable of allowing him to curl and deadlift several tons, without assistance from his right arm. His right arm is also cybernetic, but far less so.

Through a combination of his telekinetic abilities, and his ability to rearrange the atomic structures of matter (including his own techno-organic matter), Cable is able to rapidly repair any damaged components within his body. However, if there is widespread damage, this may not be possible, as he may be unable to muster the energy to affect these repairs. When he was attacked by Magneto, and virtually every component in the left side of his body was damaged or destroyed, Cable was left unable to repair enough systems to save his own life, and required outside assistance. It is through these abilities that the physical appearance of his cybernetic components has changed, over the passage of time, as well. At times, they have been articulated, smooth artificial limbs, while at others they have been observed to grow razor-sharp blades on command, as well as retract them. Cable is also able to rapidly redesign and improve his cybernetic and bionic components, thus. On-the-spot improvisations has allowed him to create a variety of microcomputers in his totally mechanized left arm that do such things as allow him to physically interface with exterior computers, uplink/download to computers he has hidden across the world and in space (such as those he had on Graymalkin), and even permit cellular communications and high-speed, broadband, wireless Internet access.

Cable possesses an intellect that may be on par with that of Reed Richards, which may be superhuman. He is also in possession of an education provided by the Clan Askani, which is far in advance of 20th – 21st century Earth-616 conventional education, especially in the sciences.

| abilities = Cable is one of the most naturally-gifted strategists, tacticians and personal combatants the world has ever seen, and very clearly a natural leader. His training in the 40th century by the Clan Askani included statecraft and military tactics suitable to controlling an entire army, down to small unit/commando tactics. He possesses the knowledge of a United States combatant trained as a Ranger, in Special Forces, UDT (SeAL), USMC Force Recon, Pathfinder and S & R (Search & Rescue). In hand-to-hand combat, he has easily and time-and-again defeated such impressive combatants as Wolverine. He is well-trained in the use of weaponry ranging from the 20th to the 40th century, and is highly adept in creating unique weaponry. This proficiency includes not only firearms and explosives, but more primitive weaponry, such as clubs, swords, staves, daggers, etc. Educationally, Cable is quite well-rounded, holding advanced degrees in law, general medicine, psychology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, political science, cybernetics, physics, astrophysics, aeronautics, etc.

It should also be noted that Cable has phenomenal resistance to pain, even when inflicted by such extraordinary means as psychic and psionic powers.

| paraphernalia = Cable's techno-organic left arm and shoulder possess enhanced strength, and his techno-organic right eye can see into the infrared portion of the spectrum. Cable has also wielded the Psimitar, an Askani weapon that channels his psionic powers, as well as a variety of firearms and other weapons.
| abilities = Cable is a highly accomplished warrior and battle strategist, highly adept in many forms of hand-to-hand combat and in the use of a variety of weaponry from both the 20th and 40th Centuries. Cable also holds a diploma in Law.

{{bio|
bio_text= Nathan Summers' birth was carefully orchestrated by the geneticist [[Mister_Sinister|Mister Sinister]], who had created his mother [[Pryor%2C_Madelyne|Madelyne Pryor]] as a clone of the mutant telepath [[Phoenix_%28Jean_Grey%29|Jean Grey]]. Soon after, Pryor was corrupted by demonic influences into using baby Nate as a sacrifice to open a portal between Earth and the demon-infested dimension Limbo, but was opposed by her husband and Nate's father [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]], his teammates in X-Factor, and his former team the X-Men. Sinister planned to use Nate as a weapon against his former master, [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]], but Apocalypse learned of this and had Nate captured and infected with a deadly techno-organic virus. After Apocalypse was defeated by X-Factor, a member of the Clan Askani - a sisterhood dedicated to opposing Apocalypse in the alternate future of Earth-4935- offered to save Nate's life by taking him to her own era. Desperate, Cyclops agreed, and Nate was taken 2,000 years into the future of Earth-4935, where the Mother Askani, actually his time-displaced half-sister Rachel, had him cloned in case the virus could not be cured. Minions of Apocalypse attacked and stole the clone, taking it to their master, who raised the child as his heir, [[Stryfe]].

[[image: cable05.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]Rachel pulled the psyches of Scott and Jean into the future of Earth-4935 to help keep Nate safe, and, as Slym and Redd Dayspring, they raised him for the next 12 years, teaching him how to use his mutant powers to keep the virus at bay. After the teenage Nate defeated Apocalypse, he traveled to the last Askani enclave and was welcomed as the Askani'Son, "the Chosen One." After the enclave was attacked, Nate regrouped the surviving Askani into the rebel Clan Chosen. Nate later fell in love with young novitiate Aliya Jenskot, and soon they were married and had a son named Tyler. Following one clash with Stryfe, Aliya was killed and Tyler was captured. Stryfe brainwashed Tyler, and in a subsequent encounter, Nate was forced to shoot Tyler to save his Clanmate Dawnsilk. After Stryfe used a time travel device to flee into the past, arriving in the late 20th century, Nate followed. He arrived in Scotland, years before his birth, and was taken in by geneticist [[MacTaggert, Moira|Moira MacTaggert]], who taught him how to speak English. He adopted the codename Cable, as a metaphor for being a link between the present in the future. Moira sent him to visit her friend Professor Xavier in the U.S., and en route he encountered the feral mutant Wolverine, aiding him against another agent from his own time, D'Von Kray. Meeting Xavier, Cable helped design the security systems for his mansion in exchange for lessons on how to live in the 20th century.

Cable formed the mercenary group the Wild Pack, later the Six Pack, and took missions from Tolliver, secretly Tyler, which often put them in conflict with Stryfe and his Mutant Liberation Front. Cable made occasional trips back to Earth-4935, at one point returning with a space station he named Graymalkin, after the address of Xavier's mansion. Returning to Earth-4935, Cable discovered that Sam Guthrie, the New Mutant Cannonball, existed into the 23rd century. Cable believed Sam was an immortal mutant, and returned to the present to guide Sam's ascension. With the aid of his mercenary ally and sometime lover Domino, Cable reorganized the New Mutants into the strike team X-Force. Later, Cable's former Six Pack teammate Kane was critically injured in a failed attempt to oppose Stryfe. To save his life, Cable transported Kane to Earth-4935, where he was saved and stayed with the Clan Chosen to recuperate, while Cable returned to the present. During his absence, Stryfe had made an attempt on Xavier's life and sought to frame Cable for the deed. Believing himself the true son of Cyclops, Stryfe kidnapped Cyclops and Jean. Cable came to their rescue, but during the struggle both he and Stryfe fell into a temporal rift. Displaced far into the future, scientists of that time saved Cable's life by using Stryfe's brainwaves. Cable and Kane later returned to the present, but upon arrival Cable discovered that Graymalkin had been destroyed, preventing him from returning home. Stryfe's mind eventually took control of Cable's body, but after being confronted with the truth of his existence he relinquished that control.

[[image: cable01.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]When the psionic entity Onslaught hampered all telepathic abilities on Earth, Cable began to succumb to the TO virus. After attacks by Onslaught's herald Post and a mentally-controlled [[Hulk]] weakened Cable further, he found himself allying with his nemesis Apocalypse in order to rescue the young mutant [[Richards%2C_Franklin|Franklin Richards]] from [[Onslaught (entity)|Onslaught]], after which Franklin helped Cable suppress the virus. Later, Cable learned from journalist Irene Merryweather of a plot by the enigmatic Hellfire Club to obtain Apocalypse's power. Cable was too late to prevent them from unleashing Apocalypse's Harbinger on the world, but he managed to defeat it with the aid of the Avengers. Realizing that the culmination of his destiny was near, Cable asked Irene to chronicle his life. Soon after, Cable learned that he was one of the Twelve, mutants supposedly destined to usher in a golden age for their kind. Apocalypse intended to use the Twelve to boost his powers to allow him to alter reality and had them captured. Cyclops seemingly sacrificed himself to stop Apocalypse, and Cable joined the X-Men to honor his memory. Subsequently learning that Cyclops was still alive, Cable and Jean tracked him down to Egypt. Jean forcibly removed Apocalypse's essence from Cyclops' body, allowing Cable to seemingly destroy it. His purpose in life apparently complete, Cable returned to his mercenary ways, eventually forming the Underground resistance movement to oppose the clandestine Weapon X Project. A failed infiltration attempt of the Neverland mutant concentration camp saw them captured and the knowledge of Neverland wiped from their minds. Cable later found himself at odds with the mercenary [[Deadpool]] over the One World Church and their planned use of the Façade Virus to transform the world's people into blue-skinned beings like themselves in the hope of bringing about peace on Earth.

Cable ultimately realized that his body would be unable to contain his vast energies, and so set out to save the world before he died. Rebuilding his space station as the floating city Providence, Cable realized that the only way to force the people's of Earth to see the potential of a unified future was to unite them against the common goal of opposing him. Initially opposed by the super-spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men, Cable faced the cosmic-powered [[Silver Surfer]], which caused his powers to burn out rapidly. He used his teleportation matrix to surgically remove the portions of his brain that controlled his mutant abilities, effectively lobotomizing himself. Deadpool then enlisted the aid of the Fixer to merge Cable with a techno-organic embryo, restoring his powers. Cable subsequently reformed X-Force to oppose the ancient evil named the Skornn, which he was able to destroy at the apparent cost of his own life. [[Cannonball (Sam Guthrie)|Cannonball]] and his fellow former X-Force member Siryn joined Deadpool on a quest to find Cable, and after finding his life force scattered across alternate realities, they collected it and returned to their own universe to discover that Cable had reverted to an infant when the mutant sorceress the [[Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)|Scarlet Witch]] reshaped reality. The mutant technosmith Forge was able to restore Cable, who began aging rapidly. Faced with being overwhelmed by his powers, Cable expended them by curing Deadpool of the brain damage he had suffered years earlier at the hands of Weapon X. As he re-aged, Cable's powers returned.

{{teamhistory|
bio_text = After the mutant soldier from the future Cable traveled to the present to seek to change his apocalyptic time, he took the [[New Mutants]] under his wing and restructured them as X-Force, a mutant strike team that would take a more proactive stance against threats to mutantkind. Originally consisting of the rocket-propelled Cannonball, the plasma-generating Boom-Boom, the super-strong Warpath, the gladiator warrior Shatterstar, the cat-like Feral, and the mercenary Domino, X-Force initially fought the Mutant Liberation Front (M.L.F.) and their leader, the armored despot Stryfe, a clone of Cable. This brought them to the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander G.W. Bridge, a former ally of Cable's who became determined to take X-Force down. To that end, the Canadian government's [[Department K]] put at Bridge's disposal the Weapon: P.R.I.M.E. super-team consisting of the cyborg Kane, the savage Yeti, the battle-suited Tigerstryke, the super-strong mercenary Grizzly, and the earthquake-generating former New Mutant Rictor.

X-Force next teamed up with Spider-Man and Siryn to prevent a terrorist bombing by Black Tom and the Juggernaut, after which Siryn joined the team. Subsequently they defeated a short-lived alliance between the [[Brotherhood of Mutants|Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]] and Masque's [[Morlocks]] which was followed by the revelation that Domino had been replaced by the shapeshifting mutant Copycat, that latter of whom had infiltrated the team at the behest of arms dealer Tolliver who was keeping the true Domino prisoner. After an attack by Weapon: P.R.I.M.E., Cable and X-Force were separated. With Cable out of the picture, Rictor rejoined his old friends who absconded in a captured S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle. Meanwhile, Cable took the fight to Tolliver, defeating the mercenary Deadpool and rescuing Domino while X-Force rescued another former New Mutant teammate, Sunspot, from the External Gideon.

After a seeming an assassination attempt on Professor X by Cable, X-Force was targeted for capture by the combined forces of the X-Men and [[X-Factor]]. Ultimately it was revealed that Stryfe was responsible and X-Force were released. With Cable presumed dead, the team reclaimed his hardware from Graymalkin, Cable's orbital space station. This brought them into conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the armored War Machine. Further clashes saw the team battling the immortal mutant Externals and the M.L.F. After Cable returned, the team rejected an offer by Magneto to join his cause and fought his Acolyte, Exodus. An encounter with the M.L.F.'s new leader Reignfire soon followed, during which Feral betrayed the team and Sunspot was lost after being teleported away by M.L.F. member Locus. X-Force then teamed up with the [[New Warriors|New Warriors]] to combat the Upstarts, followed by battles against the future-technology-powered Sentinel Nimrod and the techno-organic alien collective the Phalanx.

Soon after, Cable resumed the team's training and recruited the mutant-tracking Caliban into their ranks to replace Cannonball who had graduated to the X-Men. Ultimately, Cable attempted to force the team to go underground with new identities, but X-Force walked out on him. Shatterstar and Rictor journeyed to Mexico, while Siryn, Warpath, Sunspot, Meltdown and Domino remained together and were joined by another former New Mutant, Moonstar. The team roamed across the U.S., encountering Selene in Texas and a community of mutant children in New Mexico before being captured by Reignfire and Locus in Colorado. Taken to Las Vegas, X-Force learned the truth about the connection between Reignfire and Sunspot. A protoplasmic mutant life form, Reignfire had been injected with a sample of Sunspot's cell tissue by a scientist working for Gideon. This caused Reignfire to transform into a mirror image of Sunspot, complete with a telepathic bond that allowed Reignfire to possess Sunspot and control his actions. With his teammate's help, Sunspot was able to defeat Reignfire and the villain was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.

X-Force then moved into a new warehouse base in San Francisco before vacationing in Hawaii where they encountered the subterranean Lava Men and the fire goddess Pele. Returning to their new home, X-Force went to Domino's aid against the Gryphon and gained a new teammate in Bedlam, a former member of M.U.S.E. (Mutant Underground Support Engine), who sought X-Force's aid in locating his missing brother. Soon after, Cannonball rejoined X-Force in time for a clash with the [[Deviants|Deviant]] strike team the Sword, a teamup with the reformed [[Champions (of Los Angeles)|Champions of Los Angeles]] against the Underworld god Pluto, an alliance with sorceress Jennifer Kale against the mystic Pandemonia, and a battle against Bedlam's brother and his New Hellions team to prevent the revival of the destructive Armageddon Man.

The team was then summoned to Genosha by former British spy Pete Wisdom to help recover an experimental computer that held the consciousness of Wisdom's old friend, MI-6 scientist Archimedes Fogg. This brought the team into conflict with Magneto, Genosha's then-ruler and X-Force's former headmaster when they were still the [[New Mutants|New Mutants]], whom they were able to defeat thanks to a quantum-powered Moonstar. The team soon became embroiled in the machinations of the Damocles Foundation, an alliance of Deviants, [[Eternals]], and humans devoted to directing the world's fate by controlling the next dominant species -- which they believed to be mutantkind. The Damocles Foundation was revealed to have been behind the Sword and to have stolen the remains of Reignfire through a double agent within S.H.I.E.L.D. The Damocles Foundation attempted to use Reignfire's remains to revive a Gatherer, an artificial creature left by the Celestials, but X-Force helped Selene destroy it. Following this, Selene convinced Sunspot to assume his father's place in the [[Hellfire Club|Hellfire Club]] by resurrecting his deceased girlfriend Juliana Sandoval, causing Sunspot to leave the team.

X-Force came under Wisdom's leadership, introducing them to his clandestine world. Wisdom took the team underground and trained them as a covert operations strikeforce to battle threats such as Dr. Niles Roman and his mutagenic bio-engine that threatened to trigger an all-out gene war in San Francisco. Roman led the team to Wisdom's own sister Romany, who was creating spontaneous mutations in humans to harvest them for spare parts for an alien machine that would ultimately rewrite the human genome to eradicate disease, genetic disorders, even gender disorientation. X-Force refused to ally with Romany and destroyed the ship, seemingly perishing in the ensuing explosion. Soon after, a new team of media-savvy mutants usurped the name X-Force, bringing the original team out of hiding to reclaim their name. The new team prevailed and eventually changed their name to X-Statix, though by that time the original team had gone their separate ways. Sunspot and Warpath joined Rictor, Siryn, Domino and Feral as members of Xavier's X-Corporation mutant response group; Cannonball joined Storm's X.S.E. mutant police force; Moonstar was recruited to become a teacher at the Xavier Institute and mentor to a new incarnation of the [[New Mutants|New Mutants]]; and Cable became a messiah-like figure in his efforts to save the world's population from themselves.

Cable reassembled X-Force to help combat the threat of the Skornn, an ancient evil that preyed upon mutants. With the assistance of the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Deadpool, John Spectre and the M.L.F., Cable seemingly destroyed the Skornn. Recently, Domino, Shatterstar and Caliban operated as X-Force when they organized an assault on the Xavier Institute to free the [[198]] from its grounds.

In recent times, [[Cyclops]] decided to form a secret group led by [[Wolverine]].

bio_text= Nothing is known about the Vanisher's past before he embarked on a one-man crime wave of spectacular thefts using his power of self-teleportation. Thanks to his remarkable successes, the Vanisher quickly assembled a criminal organization under his leadership. In his greatest coup the Vanisher stole top-secret American defense plans and demanded ten million dollars for their return. Confident that no one could capture him, the Vanisher showed up on the White House lawn accompanied by his men to claim the ransom money. Professor Charles Xavier was present and used his psychic powers to give the Vanisher amnesia. Unaware of his own powers, the Vanisher was easily captured and the defense plans were safely returned to the government.

Eventually, the Vanisher's memory returned and he escaped from prison. He then joined Factor Three, an organization of superhuman mutants intent on world domination. However, the X-Men thwarted Factor Three's efforts to bring about a nuclear holocaust . When Factor Three's leader, the Mutant Master, was exposed as an extraterrestrial, the Vanisher and other members of Factor Three teamed up with the X-Men in defeating him.

Later, seemingly tiring of high profile crimes, the Vanisher organized a small band of adolescent thieves, a number of whom had superhuman powers, called the Fallen Angels. Apparently the Fallen Angels eventually disbanded.

More recently, the Vanisher fell under the mental domination of the Darkling, a superhuman who controlled forces from the Darkforce Dimension, the realm through which the Vanisher apparently travels when he teleports. With the Darkling's defeat the Vanisher regained his free will. He soon joined the Outer Circle of the second criminal team to be known as the Enforcers. The Outer Circle met defeat at the hands of Spider-Man and apparently disbanded.

Recently, Vanisher was forced to be a member of the [[X-Force]]. Later, he was killed by the [[Steven Lang]]'s troops.

}}When Miranda Leevald manifested her mutant abilities as a teenager, she apparently ran way from home and was later recruited by the X-Ranch, basically a mutant brothel. Not many of the girls at the X-Ranch had to actually touch their customers to provide them with sexual stimulation, but Miranda had to have skin-to-skin contact to activate her powers.
Not long after that, [[Archangel]] heard about the [[X-Ranch]], so the [[X-Men]] sent [[Iceman]] undercover as "Mr. Fries", and he was assigned to Stacy. While Stacy was in session with Iceman, Archangel burst in to the room to bust Stacy but they were interrupted and attacked by the [[Church of Humanity]], and their so called priests killed everyone except Stacy who was saved by the X-Men.
Stacy stayed with the X-Men for a while, engaging in several raids on the Church of Humanity, and was more or less, accepted into the group.
At one of the raids, Stacy X accidently activated a teleporting device from the Church and was teleported to their headquarters. She was later captured and tortured in the Supreme Pontiff of the Church, but she did not give up any information, instead making up a story of her life, very much resembling the life of [[Marvel Girl]], "making" Stacy a founding member of the [[X-Men]], to her captors. If parts of her story about her life before meeting the X-Men, is true is yet unknown, and so is why she chose that particular lie.
She was later rescued by the X-Men and returned to the Institute, but she took a break to handle some other "business" with a client in Chappaqua, NY. After some time, [[Wolverine]] tracked hew down and fought her but they soon came to an understanding. He then talked Kurt Wagner ([[Nightcrawler]]) out of whatever censure he was contemplating, but Stacy kept on doing "jobs" for special clients during her time with the X-Men.
In the end it seemed that the life of teamwork with the X-Men was not suited for Stacy so she left the group in connection with her failing to make the males at the Institute ([[Nightcrawler]] and [[Archangel]]) respond to her advances, and when Warren (Archangel) got romantically envolved with Paige Elisabeth Guthrie ([[Husk]]). Stacy X then left a nude workout videotape of her, for Warren. When Warren (unaware of the contents of the tape) was watching it, Paige came in, but Warren denied any feelings for Stacy and closed her out of his mind.
Following the events of the [[House of M]] and the Scarlet Witch's magicks, Miranda Leevald is now a normal human with no mutant abilities, but she is still in her old profession as a prostitute, on the streets of NYC, (with a skin condition) but unlike before when she had her powers, she now actually sleeps with her customers.

Recently, Miranda joined the [[New Warriors]] as Ripcord and died in action.

Hercules (Heracles)

{{Powerbox|
universe = [[Marvel Universe]]
| real_name = Heracles
| identity = Publicly known; however, not all modern day Earth people believe Hercules is the actual Hercules of myth.
| occupation = Adventurer
| place_of_birth = Thebes, Greece
| groups = [[Olympians|Gods of Olympus]]; formerly [[Avengers]], [[Secret Avengers]], [[Champions (of Los Angeles)]], [[God Squad]]
| citizenship = Greece
| education = Unrevealed
| aliases =
| relatives = [[Zeus|Zeus]] (father), Alcmena (mother, deceased), Amphitryon (foster father, deceased), Iphycles (half-brother, deceased), [[Neptune]] (Poseidon) and Hades([[Pluto]]) (uncles), [[Ares]], [[Apollo]], [[Hermes]], [[Hephaestus]] (half-brothers), [[Venus]] (Aphrodite), [[Athena (Pallas Athena)|Athena]], [[Artemis]] (half-sisters)
| height = 6'5"
| weight = 325 lbs.
| eyes = Blue
| hair = Dark brown
| abilities = As [[Olympus]]'s greatest hero, Hercules is highly expert in traditional means of hand-to-hand combat, as well as in wrestling. Hercules is also very highly skilled in ancient Greek athletic feats such as the discus and hammer throws.
| powers = Hercules's principal power is his superhuman strength. Hercules's strength is well in excess of the "Class 100" Level (able to lift/press in excess of 100 tons), making him, one of the strongest beings in the Marvel Universe. Hercules has highly developed leg muscles, although they do not match those of the Hulk. Hercules can make a standing high jump of at least 100 feet in Earth's gravity.

Hercules is also an Olympian thereby being an immortal, and as true immortals, the Olympian gods do not age and are not susceptible to disease. Although they can be wounded in battle, they cannot die by any conventional means, and have a rapid healing rate. Hercules has a greater resistance to physical injury than any other Olympian god except for Zeus, and possibly Neptune and Pluto. Hercules is virtually tireless. His supernaturally enhanced musculature produces no fatigue poisons. He can even survive unprotected in the vacuum of space for a brief period of time. Only an injury of such magnititude that it incinerated him or dispersed a major portion of his bodily molecules could kill Hercules. In at least some such cases, Zeus or one of the other gods might still be able to resurrect him.
| weapons = Hercules was famed in ancient Greece for his mastery of the bow and arrow, but today, because of his bitter memories of Nessus's treachery and Deianeira's suicide, he prefers not to use them. Before he came to live on [[Olympus]], Hercules's favorite weapon was his large wooden club. The club was supplanted by his current weapon, his Golden Mace, which is not actually made of gold but was forged by the god Hephaestus from enchanted adamantine, the legendary substance after which Dr. Myron MacLain named his artificially created adamantlure. The Mace is therefore virtually indestructible, and has survived direct blows from Thor's hammer.

{{bio|
bio_text= Hercules is the son of [[Zeus]], king of the [[Olympians|gods of Olympus]], and Alcmena, a mortal woman who lived about three thousand years ago. Recognizing the need for a son who would be powerful enough to defend both the Olympian gods and humanity from future dangers he foresaw, Zeus seduced Alcmena in the guise of her husband, King Amphitryon of Troezen. Thanks to Zeus's enchantment, Hercules was born with the potential for extraordinary strength, which he first displayed before he was even one year old by strangling two serpents which attacked him. As an adult, Hercules is best known for his celebrated Twelve Labors, which were performed in part to prove his worthiness for immortality to Zeus. (One of these Labors, the cleansing of the Aegean Stables, was actually performed by the [[Eternals|Eternal]] called the [[Forgotten One]], who was sometimes mistaken for Hercules.)

In the course of these Labors, Hercules provoked the wrath of three immortals who remain his enemies to this day. By slaughtering the man-eating Stymphalian Birds, he enraged the war god [[Ares]], to whom they were sacred. In temporarily capturing Cerberus, the three-headed hound that serves as guardian to the Olympian underworld (not to be confused with the shape-shifting giant of the same name), Hercules offended [[Pluto]], the lord of that realm. By killing the Nemean Lion, the Hydra, and other creatures spawned by the inconceivably grotesque and powerful monster Typhoeus, Hercules gained the bitter enmity of [[Typhon]], the immortal humanoid offspring of Typhoeus and a Titaness.

However, it was the centaur Nessus who caused Hercules's mortal demise. Nessus kidnapped Hercules's wife Deianeira, whereupon Hercules shot him with an arrow. Feigning a wish to make amends, the dying centaur told Deianeira how to make a love charm from his allegedly enchanted blood, aware that it was now tainted with the lethal poison of the Hydra, in which Hercules had dipped his arrows. Some time after Nessus's death, Deianeira, distraught over her husband's latest infidelity, rubbed the supposed love charm into Hercules's shirt. When Hercules's donned the shirt, the poison quickly worked and caused Hercules great pain. In an attempt to end this pain, he built a funeral pyre for himself and set it ablaze. Zeus intervened however, consuming the pyre with his thunderbolts and bringing Hercules to Olympus to be made a true immortal.

In an alternate future of the 23rd century, Hercules is the sole survivor of the Olympians, after Zeus had decided that the time had come for them to leave this plane of existence. Hercules then left Olympus to become the father to a new race of gods.

bio_text = Even the 31st Century needs heroes, and the call has been answered by the Guardians of the Galaxy, a team of superhuman and extraterrestrial adventurers dedicated to the safeguarding of the Milky Way Galaxy from any force that threatens the security or liberty of its various people.

The alternate future of the Guardians began with many changes from Earth-616 starting in 1982. When Earth's environment collapsed, an American astronaut, Vance Astrovik ([[Astro, Vance (Major Victory)|Vance Astro]]), embarked upon the first manned space flight to another star system. Also, in the 90's, Bionic Wars ignited among the growing cybernetic population of Earth, culminating in a nuclear attack on western Canada. In 1995, the Confederation of Nations was established, uniting mankind in a global society. However, anti-mutant prejudice remained strong, prompting Earth’s mutants to relocate to Jupiter’s moon of Europa.

The most significant moment occurred in 2001, when Martians invaded Earth, decimating and enslaving humanity. For years, the Martians ruled Earth, before mysteriously abandoning the planet in 2075. Afterwards, Earth was ruled by “Techno-Barons” in various warring city-states. By 2525, the last of these Barons were dethroned, enabling Earth to create a World Federation by 2553. Over the course of the next century, Earth colonized the other planets of the solar system, genetically engineering each specific populace to withstand the environment of each colony, many of which were specialized outposts-- Pluto became Earth’s manufacturing colony, Mercury was a mining colony, Jupiter housed scientific expeditions, etc. Earth began a new golden age of scientific and social advancement.

Unfortunately, this golden age was not to last. The alien [[Badoon (Earth-691)|Badoon]] invaded the solar system in 3007 A.D, destroying many of Earth's colonies, ultimately killing nearly every inhabitant of the three settlements on Pluto, Mercury, and Jupiter. The Badoon then invaded Earth itself, decimating the technologically inferior space fleet of the United Lands of Earth. Millions of human beings were exterminated and the remainder forced into slave labor.

Space militia pilot [[Charlie-27]], a native to the Jupiter colony, returned from a solo tour of duty to see his home world overrun by the Badoon. Managing to escape by jumping into a teleportation tube, Charlie-27 arrived on Pluto and joined forces with [[Martinex]], the last Plutonian left on the planet, who had volunteered to stay behind when his people evacuated in order to destroy Pluto's industrial complexes to keep them out of enemy hands. Charlie-27 and Martinex teleported to Earth, hoping to learn the extent of the Badoon invasion.

At about the same time, Vance Astro arrived on the planet Centauri IV over a thousand years after his space launch, having been in suspended animation en route. In the meantime, Earth had developed faster than light travel, traveled to Alpha Centauri centuries ahead of him, and founded a settlement. Upon learning his achievement was meaningless, Astro left the human colony to complete the surveying mission he was assigned to anyway. He soon met [[Yondu]], a member of the native humanoid population of the planet, and when the marauding Badoon exterminated Yondu's tribe, Yondu accompanied Astro back to Earth. Taken captive by the Badoon upon arrival, Yondu and Astro encountered Charlie-27 and Martinex. Managing to escape the Badoon, the four decided to band together to rid the Earth and its colonies from Badoon oppression. They named themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy, becoming a force for good and committed to resist the Badoon occupation of the galaxy.

In 3014, the Earthwoman [[Tarin (Earth-691)|Tarin]] was accidentally transported to the modern era of Earth-616. She encountered [[Captain America (Steve Rogers)|Captain America]], [[Carter, Sharon|Sharon Carter]], and the [[Thing (Benjamin Grimm)|Thing]] and elicited their help in returning to her time. They joined with the Guardians of the Galaxy in freeing New York City from the last of the Badoon before returning home.

The Guardians later hoped to retrieve a Badoon memory tape-- a detailed account of the aliens' first invasion attempt in the 20th Century that had ultimately failed. They traveled to 20th Century Earth, where they encountered the [[Defenders]] and helped them defeat the monster [[Eelar]]. Although they failed to learn what they came for, they recruited the Defenders to help them liberate Earth. Once back in the 31st Century, they were joined by [[Starhawk (Stakar Ogord)|Starhawk]], and the heroes finally routed the Badoon Empire.

Since then, the Guardians dedicated themselves as a group of space explorers. Among their various adventures, they recruited the last surviving Mercurian colonist, [[Nikki]], and discovered the truth about Starhawk's alternate female form, [[Ogord, Aleta|Aleta]], Starhawk’s wife. When their spaceship Captain America was destroyed in battle against the Reavers of Arcturius, the team recovered a lost Federation space station Drydock and built a new ship, Freedom’s Lady.

They encountered another citizen of Earth-616 when [[Thor (Thor Odinson)|Thor]] traveled to their future to stop the menace of [[Korvac]] the Enemy. The Guardians helped Thor, even to the point of journeying with him to the 20th Century. They hoped to protect Vance Astro’s counterpart, [[Justice (Vance Astrovik)|Vance Astrovik]], who was a likely target, and the Guardians soon joined the [[Avengers]] in confronting Korvac. During their stay, the Guardians were all granted honorary Avengers membership. They continued their stay in the 20th Century for some time, joining other heroes such as the Thing and [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]] in various adventures. Also during this time, Astro took the opportunity to unleash his younger self's latent psionic powers, thus ensuring that the boy would not grow up to make the same mistakes he made, despite the protest of his teammates who were loath to alter the timeline in such a manner. They soon returned to the 31st Century, realizing they only truly belonged in this era.

The Guardians soon embarked on a quest dedicated to recovering the shield of [[Captain America (Steve Rogers)|Captain America]]. One of their first encounters was with the alien [[Stark (Earth-691)|Stark]], which resulted in Starhawk and Aleta splitting into two beings and in the destruction of the Freedom's Lady. They claimed the Stark spaceship for their own, calling it the Captain America II. Their quest was ultimately successful, despite the recurring competition of the mercenary team [[Force (Earth-691)|Force]], and Vance Astro claimed the shield, later creating his new identity of Major Victory. Later, Martinex relinquished leadership of the Guardians to Major Victory, hoping to expand the Guardians’ operations, and he eventually created a new team, the [[Galactic Guardians]].

During another visit to Earth, the Guardians found Earth in ruin, victim to an overwhelming addiction to a holographic television created by [[Doctor Doom (Earth-691)|Doctor Doom]], who had survived as a living brain in the Adamantium skeleton of [[Wolverine (Earth-691)|Wolverine]]. They joined Tarin and her team of guerilla fighters in thwarting Doom as well as a remnant of Badoon who created human agents in the form of an army called the Punishers. During this time, they recruited [[Hollywood (Earth-691)|Hollywood]] into their ranks, as well as [[Talon (Earth-691)|Talon]].

When Talon was hurt in battle, the Guardians had to return to Earth-616's present to receive specific aid due to his Inhuman physiology. The team used the Avengers headquarters, briefly stopping an invasion by the [[Masters of Evil]]. When they returned to their future, the Guardians found they had a hitchhiker-- [[Yellowjacket (Rita DeMara)|Yellowjacket]], who had helped them against the Masters of Evil, and the team welcomed her into their membership.

Receiving a call for help from Talon's mentor and honorary Guardian, [[Krugarr (Earth-691)|Krugarr]], the Guardians found themselves battling [[Dormammu (Earth-691)|Dormammu]] with the Galactic Guardians. In the battle, the station Drydock was destroyed, and the Galactic Guardians gave their sister team a new ship, Icarus. They again returned to Earth to help Tarin, who at this time became President of the Northeast Corridor, and a later adventure led the Guardians to resurrect [[Irish Wolfhound (Earth-691)|Cuchulain]] and his guardian, [[Shamrock (Earth-691)|Shamrock]]. The two declined membership, hoping to serve as Earth-bound heroes, although when Charlie-27 had a brief falling-out with the team, Cuchulain took his place, joining as the Irish Wolfhound.

The Guardians had their biggest shake-up when they were asked to help the Martians against the threat of [[Bubonicus (Earth-691)|Bubonicus]], a genocidal alien that had decimated the Martian race centuries earlier. Vance Astro had allied with the Martian [[Ripjak (Earth-691)|Ripjak]], to the defiance of other members, but soon Bubonicus was defeated. The Guardians regrouped, and Charlie-27 was elected their leader.

Under Charlie's direction, the team traveled the 21st Century, hoping to stop the Martian invasion from ever occurring in at least one timeline. Although they were successful, they encountered the alien [[Wormhole (Earth-691)|Wormhole]] when trying to return, and they became lost in space-time, seeking a way to return to their rightful home in the 31st Century.

The current regime of the Guardians of the Galaxy was operating within the 616 universe, with their base of operation being [[Knowhere]], which was the severed head of an unknown [[Celestials|Celestial]]. This incarnation of the Guardians was founded by the Star-Lord who saw the need for a proactive strike team to protect the universe form violent attacks such as the [[Annihilation|Annihilation Wave]] or the villainous [[Phalanx]]. [[Star-Lord (Peter Quill)|Star-Lord]] recruited cosmic heavyweight such as [[Warlock, Adam|Adam Warlock]], [[Drax|Drax the Destroyer]], [[Gamora]], [[Mantis]], [[Quasar (Phyla-Vell)|Phyla-Vel]] and [[Rocket Raccoon]] to his team of universe protectors. During their first mission these Guardians destroyed a Templeship belonging to the [[Universal Church of Truth]] in order to close a fissure within the fabric of reality. The Guardians act was considered as blasphemy by the [[Matriarch (Unrevealed)|Matriarch]] who summoned [[Raker]] and the [[Cardinals]] to mete out retribution and penance, and to verify the identity of one of the Guardian members.

While attempting to prevent another fissure disturbance the Guardians discovered massive rock, metal and organic matter, frozen solid in time. In an effort to uncover what appeared to be a metal wall, Phyla-Vell discovered the front gate of the Avengers Mansion. Before the heroes could piece together the puzzle of when and where the gate came from they were attack by unknown aliens that were beginning to thaw from the ice. During the battle with the aliens an amnesia ridden Major Victory was rejuvenated from the thaw of ice and time. Adam Warlock incinerated the mass as the other Guardians retreated back to Knowhere with the disoriented Major Victory.

Later on Binary Stasis Twelve Dyson Sphere, an artificial habitat shell with a caged sun at its heart. Raker and the Cardinals engaged the Guardians in combat. Raker and his religious comrades revealed the power of the belief-battery, (this was a fundamental power of the mind allowing them to achieve all that they believed), allowing them to withstand any form of assault that the Guardians unleashed upon them. While in a direct struggle with Adam Warlock, Raker exclaimed that Warlock’s new powers were nothing more than malevolent witchcraft, before releasing a ferocious blast of energy from his midsection dispelling the threat of the golden hero. Another Cardinal revealed that the power of belief could also regenerate severed limbs, during his confrontation with Drax the Destroyer. At the height of this battle two of Raker's Cardinals were engulfed by the biomass of the Dyson Sphere. All fifty-two hundred of the sphere's inhabitants had been fused into one dreadful biomass. Raker believed Warlock to be the culprit behind the demonic biomass that consumed his faithful brethren. Raker assaulted Star-Lord as a ploy to distract Warlock so that he could stab him and get the DNA evidence needed to reveal if the assumption of the Matriarch were correct.

| powers = Destiny was a mutant who possessed the psionic power of precognition by mentally scanning alternate futures and perceiving probable events. Prior to her blindness, Destiny was able to foretell future events with incredible accuracy. After her blindness, Destiny could focus on only the most probable alternate futures within a mile radius and was 97% accurate in her predictions of the future ten seconds away.

Despite the limited extent of her certainty, the more likely that a particular alternate future would manifest itself in her reality, the clearer and more distinct her mental impression of it would be, and by active participation in events around her she could shift probabilities toward desired results.

It has been speculated that Destiny’s mutation extended her lifespan, for although she appeared to be a woman in her sixties at the time of her death, she was believed to be far older.

bio_text= Destiny was apparently born into a wealthy family in 19th Century Austria. After her mutant power first developed, it nearly overwhelmed her with visions of the future. She spent over a year transcribing these visions into books, after which she was left physically blind.

Seeking to understand what she’d written in her diaries, Destiny contacted the shape-shifting mutant detective [[Mystique|Raven Darkhölme]] to aid in her quest, and the two eventually became longtime companions and lovers. After traveling for a time with a carnival as their fortuneteller, Destiny worked as an archivist at the [[Black Womb]] genetic project. The pair also lived together whilst Raven was raising her unofficial foster daughter, the young mutant named [[Rogue]].

After Raven became Mystique, Destiny helped her form the team of super-powered terrorists the [[Brotherhood Of Mutants|Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]]. However, Mystique eventually tired of her team being hunted as outlaws, and offered their services to the U.S. Government in exchange for a pardon for their crimes, becoming the government-sanctioned [[Freedom Force]] team. On their first official mission, they were dispatched to capture the self-styled master of magnetism, [[Magneto (Magnus)|Magneto]].

Later, during a clash with the criminal cyborgs the [[Reavers]] on [[Muir Island]], off the coast of Scotland, Mystique left Destiny in the care of the mutant technosmith [[Forge]], however Destiny sent him to assist Freedom Force in repelling the Reavers. Then, as she had foreseen, Destiny was killed by the telepathic mutant [[Legion (David Haller)|Legion]], who was being controlled by the powerful psychic [[Shadow King]].

Destiny’s body was later cremated and her ashes scattered out to sea by Mystique, however her consciousness apparently survived inside Legion’s mind, and he interpreted her words as a need to kill Magneto to preserve the dream of his father, [[X-Men]] founder [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]]. Instead, he accidentally killed Xavier himself, creating an alternate timeline. Legion was killed after reality was repaired, and his ghost co-existed with Destiny’s in [[Limbo]] where they worked with the sorceress [[Szardos, Margali|Margali Szardos]] to secretly protect humanity.

Later, the X-Man [[Pryde, Kitty|Shadowcat]] discovered one of Destiny’s diaries, and, for a time, a splinter group of X-Men scoured the world for rest of the “[[Books of Truth]]” to prevent the revelations they contained from falling into the wrong hands.

Recently, Destiny was briefly revived with an alien techno organic virus.

bio_text = [[Mutants]]! The very word strikes fear and worry in many people's hearts, but many also dream of a peaceful coexistence between man and mutant. [[Professor X]] had such a dream, and his X-Men is a team of mutants willing to take stand for it!

== The First Class ==

[[image:XMenInline1.jpg|190 pixel image|190px|left]]Under a cloud of increasing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Xavier created a safe haven at his [[Xavier Institute|Westchester mansion]] where he could train young mutants to use their powers for the betterment of mankind. Aided by F.B.I. agent [[Duncan, Fred|Fred Duncan]], Xavier spent months recruiting his early students (code-named [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]], [[Iceman]], [[Angel (Warren Worthington III)|Angel]], [[Beast (Henry McCoy)|Beast]] and [[Phoenix (Jean Grey)|Marvel Girl]]), dubbing them "X-Men" because each possessed an "extra" ability normal humans lacked. The X-Men made their public debut by thwarting [[Magneto (Magnus)|Magneto]]'s seizure of the Cape Citadel missile base. The U.S. military was grateful, and the youngsters were initially regarded as heroes. Magneto would battle the X-Men repeatedly over the years, sometimes leading his [[Brotherhood of Mutants|Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]]. The X-Men also battled such threats as the immovable [[Blob]], the untouchable [[Unus]], the alien [[Lucifer (Quist)|Lucifer]], the savage [[Swamp Men]], the enigmatic [[Stranger]], the unstoppable [[Juggernaut (Cain Marko)|Juggernaut]], and the giant mutant-hunting [[Sentinels|Sentinel]] robots.

The arrogant mutated human [[Mimic (Calvin Rankin)|Mimic]] briefly joined the team before Xavier secretly went into hiding. Requiring seclusion to prepare for a forthcoming invasion of [[Earth]] by the alien [[Z'Nox]], Xavier had the shape-shifting mutant [[Changeling]] impersonate him in order to supervise the X-Men in his absence; however, the Changeling "Xavier" died heroically in battle against the subterranean [[Grotesk]]. Of the X-Men, only Marvel Girl knew that Xavier was still alive, though she was sworn to secrecy. Duncan had the X-Men disband briefly, but the team had regrouped by the time Xavier finally came out of hiding, leading them in repelling the Z'Nox with the aid of the [[Fantastic Four]]. Joined by [[Polaris]] and [[Havok]], the heroes befriended [[Avia]] of the [[Savage Land]]'s [[Nhu'Gari]] race, and fought the likes of African mutant [[Deluge (mutant)|Deluge]] (alongside young future member [[Storm]]), the mutant slave-runner [[Krueger]], the criminal [[Dazzler (Burtram Worthington)|Dazzler]] (Angel's uncle, Burt Worthington), the telepathic alliance known as the [[Promise]], the [[Inhumans|Inhuman]] [[Yeti (Inhuman)|Yeti]], and the [[Secret Empire]].

== All-New, All-Different ==

When the sentient island [[Krakoa]] captured most of his students, Xavier hastily assembled a second squad of X-Men. Traveling the world, he recruited [[Nightcrawler]] in Germany, [[Wolverine (James Howlett)|Wolverine]] in Canada, [[Banshee]] in Ireland, Storm in Kenya, [[Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida)|Sunfire]] in Japan, [[Colossus (Piotr Rasputin)|Colossus]] in Russia, and [[Thunderbird (John Proudstar)|Thunderbird]] in America. Led by Cyclops, these all-new, all-different X-Men were able to rescue their predecessors. Except for Cyclops, the previous members all quit the expanded team. Sunfire also left the group, and Thunderbird died battling [[Count Nefaria]] and his [[Ani-Men]] during an attempted takeover of the N.O.R.A.D. facility in Cheyenne Mountain.

When the U.S. government unleashed new-model Sentinels that imprisoned Jean Grey and several other X-Men on a space station, the team escaped to Earth in a shuttle through a lethal solar-radiation storm. Dying from radiation, Jean was touched by the cosmic [[Phoenix Force]], which replicated Jean's form and absorbed a portion of her consciousness. Guiding the shuttle to a crash-landing, the Phoenix Force secretly placed the real Jean in stasis within a cocoon-like pod at the bottom of Jamaica Bay, then took her place in the X-Men. The X-Men subsequently battled the Juggernaut, Magneto, Emperor [[Neramani, D'Ken|D'Ken]] of the intergalactic [[Shi'ar]] Empire, the eccentric assassin [[Arcade]], the prehistoric mutant [[Sauron]], [[Alpha Flight]], the reality-altering [[Proteus]], and the [[Hellfire Club]]. The Club's probationary member Jason Wyngarde ([[Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde)|Mastermind]]) mentally manipulated the Phoenix, who was rapidly corrupted by her own vast power and, as a result, transformed into Dark Phoenix. Ultimately, Jean's psyche resurfaced and convinced the Phoenix Force to sacrifice itself to save the universe. Believing Jean to be dead, Cyclops quit the team, leaving Storm to lead them in his absence.

== The Dream Branches Out ==

The X-Men soon welcomed more new members, including [[Pryde, Kitty|Kitty Pryde]], [[Rogue]], and [[Marvel Girl (Rachel Summers)|Rachel Summers]]. When the X-Men were believed dead after an encounter with the alien Brood, Xavier formed a new team of students dubbed the [[New Mutants]]. After the X-Men returned, Xavier continued to mentor both teams. The New Mutants even served temporarily as X-Men to save the team from interdimensional media mogul [[Mojo]].

[[image:XMenInline3.jpg|thumb|left]]The real Jean Grey eventually revived and was reunited with the original X-Men members. Together they established [[X-Factor]], supposedly a business dedicated to hunting and capturing dangerous mutants, but secretly a group formed to protect, recruit and mentor mutants in need of guidance, like Xavier before them. At the same time, the X-Factor group moonlighted as an openly mutant super-hero team, the X-Terminators. Their ranks already scattered and depleted after battles with the likes of [[Mister Sinister|Mr. Sinister]]'s [[Marauders (mutants)|Marauders]], the X-Men seemingly died battling the [[Adversary]] in Dallas, but they secretly survived and relocated to the Australian Outback, battling threats such as the cyborg [[Reavers]], the [[Master Mold]], and [[Nanny (cyborg)|Nanny]] and her [[Orphan-Maker]]. While seeking the missing X-Men, [[Forge]] and Banshee helped form an ad-hoc team of X-Men to defend [[Muir Island]] from the Reavers. This team then fell under the thrall of the psychic [[Shadow King]], and it took the combined efforts of the X-Men and X-Factor to defeat him. Afterwards, the members of X-Factor rejoined the X-Men which then split into two teams, Blue and Gold.

== Onslaught and O:ZT ==

When Magneto nearly killed Wolverine by forcibly extracting the [[Adamantium]] implants from his skeleton, Xavier retaliated by telepathically lobotomizing Magneto; but Xavier paid a high price for this action. Tainted by Magneto's essence, Xavier unwittingly created the evil psionic entity [[Onslaught (entity)|Onslaught]], which seemingly slew most of New York's major super heroes before being defeated. The heroes eventually returned, but not before Xavier was arrested for his part in the creation of Onslaught. Incarcerated, Xavier was interrogated by the hybrid Sentinel [[Bastion]], who used the information he gained to launch an assault on the X-Men under the guise of the government-sponsored [[Operation: Zero Tolerance]] program. After the program was shut down, Xavier was forced to flee from his own mutant-locating computer [[Cerebro]], which had become a sentient nanotech construct due to Bastion's machinations. Trying to realize Xavier's dream and fulfill its mutant-recruitment programming, Cerebro created solid holographic amalgamations of mutants in Xavier's files, then set about "recruiting" them to join a new team of X-Men with itself as their "founder". Cerebro's plan was foiled by the true X-Men, and it was ultimately stopped after Xavier caused it to overload.

Magneto soon resurfaced, holding the planet hostage with its own magnetic field, and convinced the world's leaders to grant him sovereignty over [[Genosha]], an island nation near South Africa where humans once enslaved mutants. At first forced to cope with civil war and the effects of the lethal [[Legacy Virus]], Magneto gained the might of a unified nation when a cure for the mutant plague was released into the atmosphere. Magneto proclaimed his intended dominance over mankind, standing ready to unleash an entire nation of mutates upon the planet. With the aid of a hastily-assembled interim team, the X-Men narrowly averted the would-be conqueror's ultimate offensive.

== The "New" X-Men & New Teams ==

[[image:XMenInline4.jpg|thumb|right]]When Xavier and the X-Men were publicly outed as mutants by Xavier's genetic twin, [[Nova, Cassandra|Cassandra Nova]], the Xavier Institute was overwhelmed with an influx of young mutants seeking safety and education. To cope with the large student body, Xavier recruited several new faculty members into the Institute, including former [[Alpha Flight]] member [[Northstar]] and a reformed Juggernaut. Xavier also formed the [[X-Corporation]], a global search-and-rescue unit for oppressed mutants. The X-Corporation boasts headquarters around the world, with numerous mutants from the various splinter teams rallying to join the cause.

Following an all-out assault on Manhattan by a mutant posing as [[Xorn|Magneto]], Xavier left the X-Men to help the true Magneto rebuild Genosha after it was devastated by a Sentinel attack. Cyclops and [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]] became co-headmasters of the Institute and reorganized the X-Men into three separate teams, leading one team themselves in an effort to improve the X-Men's standing with the public. A second team was led by Cyclops' brother Havok, while the third, the [[X-Treme X-Men|X-Treme Sanctions Executive]] led by Storm, acted as a global mutant police force until its license was revoked in the wake of [[House of M|"M Day"]].

== Post Decimation ==
Following the events of the House of M - in which the vast majority of mutants were suddenly de-powered) - the X-Mansion became home to a refugee camp housing a [[198|bedraggled and sometimes volatile group]] of the world's remaining powered mutants. The United States government surrounded the perimeter of the mansion with manned [[Sentinel Squad O*N*E|Sentinels]] reporting to the newly-created [[Office of National Emergency|O*N*E]], ostensibly to protect the mutant camp as a national security asset. The X-Men thus found themselves in the position of having to act as intermediaries between the government and the mutants and relations between the three groups fluctuated widely from cautious friendship to outright antagonism.

Despite the new stresses placed upon them, the X-Men continued to engage in field missions, including combating a newly resurgent [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]] and a group of Shi'ar Death Commandos intent on assassinating Rachel Grey. The current student population, has, unfortunately, significantly dropped after a series of attacks by a religious cult led by Reverend [[Stryker, William|William Stryker]]. After a mass escape attempt by the mutant refugees was resolved peacefully, tensions between the government and the X-Men decreased significantly.

{{teamhistory|
bio_text = The Marauders are a group of superpowered criminals working on behalf of the interests of the villain [[Mister Sinister]]. Sinister had long devoted his life to the study of genetics and mutations in particular. Knowing of the existence of an underground community called the [[Morlocks]], Sinister decided that their existence was compromising and diluting the genetic gene pool. To remedy this, he made [[Gambit]], a thief that owed Sinister a favor for restoring balance to his formative mutant powers, to form a group of mercenaries into a team of Marauders that would work for him.

In one of the Marauders' first known activities, based on Sinister's interest in the genetic lineage of the mutants [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]] and [[Phoenix (Jean Grey)|Phoenix]], several members of the team hunted Cyclops' wife [[Pryor, Madelyne|Madelyne Pryor-Summers]] and child [[Cable|Nathan]], killing Pryor and kidnapping the baby.

Gambit soon led the Marauders into the Morlocks' tunnels, whereupon the mercenaries began a systematic massacre of the population. Unaware of the Marauders' true intent, Gambit tried to stop them, but was only able to save a Morlock girl (the mutant known as [[Marrow]]) before escaping. The Marauders were confronted by the Morlocks' allies, the hero team [[X-Men]], along with other heroes such as Thor and Power Pack. Ultimately, the X-Men and the heroes stopped the massacre, but not before significant causalities were sustained by both sides.

Later, another Marauder, [[Malice]], attempted possession of the X-Men ally, [[Dazzler (Alison Blaire)|Dazzler]], but was defeated by Dazzler's friends in the X-Men. The Marauders went on to attack the X-Men's associate [[Polaris]]. Sinister had decided, unbeknownst to Malice, that the mutant would make a genetic match with Malice and allow the two to become permanently bonded. It seemed that Polaris had managed to single-handedly and ruthlessly defeat the team, but in fact it was Malice who had taken possession of Polaris and declared herself leader of the Marauders. Malice, in Polaris' body, led the Marauders on several missions, including a failed attempt to capture Madelyne Pryor, who reappeared in California and would be rescued by the X-Men.

When a demon invasion occurred in New York City, Malice/Polaris led a Marauder attack on the hero teams X-Men and [[X-Factor]]. Several Marauders who were believed to have died in previous battles had reappeared. The heroes defeated the Marauders, many of whom were killed during the battle, but Malice and [[Sabretooth]] escaped. (Both of whom would never regroup with the Marauders since then.) Months later, when investigating Sinister's facilities, the X-Men discovered that Sinister had kept genetic information of the mercenaries in order to create clones of them. Some of the clones were released, but the X-Men defeated them and they died.

With the genetic information readily available, Sinister activated several Marauders once more, this time to chase the mutant [[Threnody]] who was escaping her indentured servitude to Sinister. They were confronted by [[X-Man|Nate Grey]], the X-Man, and in the course of the battle, most of the Marauders were killed. The remaining member, [[Riptide]], was sent back with implanted memories that Threnody was killed as well. Nevertheless, more Marauders later returned, and Threnody agreed to return to Sinister.

Various Marauders have reappeared since then. For example, Sinister disguised several Marauders as agents of the villain [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]] in order to try to trick the hero Cable into forming an alliance with him. Another time, Gambit needed to invade another of Sinister's bases, and [[Scalphunter]] revealed that all cloned Marauders were genetically programmed to never turn against Sinister on penalty of death. Gambit turned instead to Sabretooth, who was never cloned, and the two invaded Sinister's base after facing several Marauders as guards. Presumably, as long as Mister Sinister remains active, he will always have at hand a cloned army of Marauders in some capacity.

Recently, the Marauders joined forces with the [[Acolytes]], to kill the X-Men and take the Mutant Baby. Several members died, in the process (some members were devoured by Predator X).

| powers = Nightcrawler is a mutant who can teleport by opening a portal into another dimension, travelling through it via an unconscious direction-finding sense, and returning to his own dimension. When teleporting, Nightcrawler leaves behind a small portion of the atmosphere of the other dimension that escapes with a muffled “bamf” sound and smells of brimstone. On returning, his power automatically displaces any extraneous liquids and gases.

Nightcrawler can easily teleport north south along Earth's magnetic lines of force. However, teleporting east west against them or teleporting vertically is more difficult. Under optimal conditions, Nightcrawler can teleport 2 miles east west, 3 miles north south, and 2 miles vertically if he exerts himself. Nightcrawler's momentum is retained when teleporting, so he arrives with the same inertia he left with. He can reduce this by teleporting short distances in the opposite direction.

Nightcrawler has a limited unconscious extrasensory ability that prevents him from teleporting into any area that he cannot see or has not seen in the past, as doing so runs the risk of injury or death by materializing partially or entirely within a solid object.

Through practice, Nightcrawler has increased the mass he can teleport with him, though the limit to the amount of weight he can carry when teleporting and the distance over which he can teleport with such additional loads are unknown. Teleporting with Nightcrawler often leaves a passenger feeling weak and nauseous.

Nightcrawler is also able to cling to solid surfaces via his hands and feet. He can also render himself nigh-invisible in shadows by manipulating the ever-present portal to the dimension he teleports through so as to bend light around himself.
| abilities = Nightcrawler is an Olympic-class acrobat thanks to his flexible spine that allows him to perform contortionist-like feats and to go long periods in a semi-crouching position without injury. He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and a master at fencing, which he can even perform with his tail, which is strong enough to support his entire body weight.
| paraphernalia = Nightcrawler occasionally uses an image inducer to disguise his true appearance with a holographic form.
| weapons = Nightcrawler formerly wielded a pair of swords.

| origin = Uncanny X-Men #428 (2003); Uncanny Origins #8 (1997)

{{bio|
bio_text= Born in Bavaria to the blue-skinned shapeshifting mutant later known as [[Mystique]], Kurt Wagner was shunned at birth due to his having blue skin, pointed ears, fangs, and a long pointed tail. At the time disguised as the Baroness Wagner, Mystique's true identity was revealed after she gave birth to Kurt, and the pair were chased by an angry mob. Fleeing to the nearby falls, Mystique threw the infant Kurt over the edge and fled. Kurt was saved by his natural father, the enigmatic being known as [[Azazel (mutant)|Azazel]], and given into the care of [[Szardos, Margali|Margali Szardos]], a sorceress and gypsy queen.

Margali took baby Kurt to the small Bavarian circus where she worked as a fortune teller as a cover for her activities as a sorceress. Kurt was never legally adopted by anyone, but was raised by all the members of the circus, who had no prejudices against "freaks". Kurt grew up happily in the circus with his two closest friends, Margali's natural children Stefan and Jimaine. Stefan feared that his magical heritage may one day corrupt him, and so he had Kurt promise that if he ever killed without reason for Kurt to stop him. During his formative years Kurt exhibited tremendous natural agility, and quickly became the circus's star acrobat and trapeze artist with audiences assuming that he was simply a normal human dressed in a demon costume. Kurt worked closely with Jimaine, and the pair soon became involved in a romantic relationship.

[[Image: ncwlr.jpg|left|250px]]Years later, the Texas millionaire Amos Jardine, who ran a large circus based in Florida, heard of the circus Kurt worked for and bought it. Jardine intended to move its best acts into his American circus. However, he demanded that Kurt be placed in the circus's freak show, where he was imprisoned against his will and drugged in order to remain complacent. Eventually, a young boy would free Nightcrawler, who would threaten Jardine in order to make him remain a better owner to his circus friends. Nightcrawler then ran away and made his way back to Germany where he discovered that Stefan had gone mad and had brutally slain several members of a lost race of half-human creatures. Kurt found Stefan and fought him, hoping to stop his rampage, but in the course of the struggle Kurt unintentionally broke Stefan's neck. The villagers of the nearby town of Winzeldorf discovered Kurt and assumed him to be a demon who was responsible for the killings. They cornered Kurt in the town and were about to kill him when they were all psionically paralyzed by [[Professor X|Professor Charles Xavier]], who had come to recruit Kurt into his team of mutant super-heroes known as the [[X-Men]].

Kurt agreed to join the group, but before they left for America, he and Xavier went to the Bavarian circus so that Kurt could explain to Margali about Stefan's death. However, Margali was not there, and for years she held Kurt responsible for murdering Stefan. Later, she learned the truth and she and Kurt were reconciled. Kurt was also happily reunited with Jimaine, who had been living in the United States under the assumed name of [[Magik (Amanda Sefton)|Amanda Sefton]].

After many adventures with the X-Men, including a clash with the [[Brotherhood of Mutants|Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]] during which Kurt first met his mother Mystique (although he didn't know it at the time), discovering his ability to be invisible in shadow, traveling through dimensions with [[Pryde, Kitty|Kitty Pryde]]'s dragon [[Lockheed]], and more, Kurt was finally severely wounded during the attack on the underground colony of mutants known as the [[Morlocks]] by [[Riptide]], a member of a team of mutant assassins named the [[Marauders (mutants)|Marauders]]. Kurt was taken to the mutant research facility on [[Muir Island]] off the coast of Scotland where he recuperated, but discovered that he could no longer teleport as he originally could, and that teleporting others caused a great strain. After hearing of the apparent "death" of the X-Men in Dallas when the team fought the [[Adversary]], Kurt, Pryde, [[Marvel Girl (Rachel Summers)|Rachel Summers]], [[Captain Britain (Brian Braddock)|Captain Britain]], and [[Meggan]] became the founding members of the British super-team [[Excalibur]].

After an encounter with the monarch of [[Latveria]], the armored despot [[Doctor Doom (Victor von Doom)|Dr. Doom]], Kurt's powers were fully restored after Doom used an electromagnetic scrambler in an attempt to disrupt Kurt's teleportating abilities which instead accidentally realigned them.

Following a misunderstanding with Captain Britain over his relationship with Meggan that resulted in a broken leg, Kurt reformed the team of alien bounty hunters known as the [[Technet]] into a team of costumed superhuman adventurers dubbed the [[N-Men]]. Following the Technet's departure, Kurt became Excalibur's leader after the team gained several new members, including the alien [[Shi'ar]] named [[Cerise (Shi'ar)|Cerise]]. Kurt helped Cerise become accustomed to her new life on Earth, which led to the pair forming a romantic relationship. This was to be short-lived, however, after Cerise was found guilty of war crimes and returned to the Shi'ar Empire.

After Captain Britain and Meggan were married, Kurt along with Shadowcat and [[Colossus (Piotr Rasputin)|Colossus]] decided it was time to return to the X-Men. Kurt once more served as a dedicated member of the team until after the battle with the mutant despot [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]] that resulted in the seemed death of the first X-Man, [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]]. Soon after, the ever-devout catholic Kurt left the team to pursue aspirations of becoming a priest. During his studies, Kurt was attacked and wounded by [[Rax]], the hunter of the group of evolved mutants known as the [[Neo]]. Fleeing, Kurt encountered mutant doctor [[Reyes, Cecilia|Cecilia Reyes]], and together the two faced the Neo until the X-Men arrived to swing the tide of battle.

Kurt subsequently rejoined the X-Men while continuing his priesthood studies, but soon after took a leave of absence to mourn the death of his friend and team mate, Colossus. When he returned to the X-Men, it was as a fully ordained priest after apparently undertaking a ceremony at St. Michael's Church in Brooklyn which was overseen by Kurt's mentor, Father Whitney. Kurt even took to wearing a priest's collar as part of his X-Men uniform.

[[Image:Night228x175.jpg|left]]Feeling uncomfortable after his longstanding Catholic training as a result of Kurt's feelings of unrest due to molestations by Catholic leaders, which were only exacerbated after the mutant ex-prostitute [[Stacy X]] joined the team and made advances towards him which he could not reciprocate due to his vocation. Ultimately it came to light that Kurt had never been fully ordained, rather he had been telepathically coerced into believing so as part of a plan by the Church of Humanity's Supreme Pontiff to bring down the Catholic Church by installing Kurt as the next Pope then revealing to the world that he was "satan". The X-Men subsequently defeated the Church of Humanity and prevented their plan for world domination.

Soon after, Kurt found himself unable to resist the compulsion to travel to the Isla des Demonas off the coast of Florida. There, Kurt was manipulated into a ceremony with other teleporters like himself that opened a dimensional portal through which came an army of mutant demons. The X-Men arrived to recover their teammate and clashed with the army. During the battle, Kurt was forcibly removed from the ceremony which collapsed the portal, trapping all present into the other dimension. There, Kurt learned that the leader of the army, Azazel, was his natural father and the father of the other teleporters present. A mutant from biblical times, Azazel sought to use his children's combined powers to return to Earth and enslave humanity. However, Kurt rejected him and, with the aid of his newly-found half-brothers [[Abyss]] and [[Kiwi Black]], Azazel was defeated.

Nightcrawler has since gone on several missions of an occult nature, culminating in a battle against the demonic Hive who was revealed to be responsible for Stefan's rampage. Nightcrawler would be visited by [[Mephisto]] on his birthday shortly after that event, who told Nightcrawler that a war was brewing, and if Nightcrawler would take Mephisto's side, he could have any reward he wanted. Kurt rejected the offer, however. Recently, Nightcrawler has also met the dimensionally-stranded [[Nocturne (Age of Apocalypse)|Nocturne]], daughter of a Nightcrawler from an alternate timeline, who has taken to calling him "dad."

Recently, Nightcrawler died while trying to save Hope, the Messiah child, from the anti-mutant villain [[Bastion]].

Greycrow was executed by firing squad after his murder and scalping of eight fellow officers; however he was subsequently resurrected due to his mutant regenerative ability. Coming into the employ of geneticist [[Mister Sinister]], Greycrow became field leader of Sinister's [[Marauders (mutants)|Marauders]], the superhuman assassins responsible for massacring the underground mutant [[Morlocks]] community. Greycrow also shares a past with [[Gambit]] of the [[X-Men]], outside of Gambit's involvement with the Marauders, though specific details are still being collated. Though the Marauders were all seemingly killed during a [[Inferno (event)|demonic invasion of New York City]], Sinister possesses the technology to perpetually clone them from samples of their DNA.

bio_text= Somewhere in the depths of space, a United States space shuttle collided with a mysterious rock and the reminant energy created by the [[House of M|Scarlet Witch's recent alteration of reality]]. When the shuttle crashed to [[Earth]], a powerful [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutant]] emerged and was subsequently detected by [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]] and [[Cerebro]], in the process overloading Emma with [[Glossary:P#psychic|psychic]] feedback.

[[Image:Vulcan inline.jpg|left|thumb]]Meanwhile, [[Banshee]] uncovered the location of a secret tape with information about the new mutant but was killed by the [[Glossary:B#Blackbird|Blackbird]] while delivering the tape to the X-Men. The [[Beast (Henry McCoy)|Beast]] was, however, able to retrieve the tape, and the X-Men which contained revelations that the mutant, under the codename "Kid Vulcan" was part of a forgotten team of MacTaggert's students conscripted to help rescue a group of X-Men trapped by the [[Glossary:S#sentient|sentient]] island [[Krakoa]], some years ago. The mutant, now using the code name "Vulcan," also revealed to Cyclops that he is his youngest brother. After releasing the second presence within him with the help of Marvel Girl a mutant named Darwin manifested who was apparently comatose. While fighting former heroes the X-men Vulcan left Earth denouncing Cyclops as his brother with his mind intent on destroy Emperor [[Neramani, D'Ken|D'ken]] and the Shi'ar Empire.

After confronting and destroying Shi'ar ships near Earth, Vulcan began using stargates to lead him to Shi'ar space, he also used his powers to produce an electronic voice for himself so that he could communicate with the ships in the vacuum of space. Once he realized how far he was, he took control a starship and forced its captain to teach him about the Shi'ar Empire. The captain eventually led Vulcan to a planet where he was ambushed by the [[Imperial Guard]]. Though he was much more powerful than them Vulcan was eventually defeated, and he lost his left eye in the process. In jail, his captors gave him a [[Glossary:B#bionic|bionic]] eye, but left him alone for the most part. Vulcan began to hallucinate, seeing himself at his true calendar age of 15. Soon, however, he was released from his cell and directed to another inmate, whom he freed, finding it to be none other than [[Deathbird]], who managed to set aside Vulcans personal vandetta and started a relationship with him. Deathbird took Vulcan to the planet on which her comatose brother D'ken was residing, and for her love, Vulcan healed D'ken's broken mind. Vulcan then assisted the revived D'ken in a coup against [[Neramani, Lilandra|Lilandra]], though the Majestrix escaped with the X-Men and [[Starjammers]]. Recognizing both Vulcan's danger and his sister's love for the [[Humans|human]], D'ken next made the shocking suggestion that Vulcan marry Deathbird and join the Royal Family.

Recently, Vulcan was killed battling [[Black Bolt]] aboard the T-Bomb.

}}{{bio|
bio_text= Some years ago, [[Elysius]], the genetically engineered woman beloved by the late [[Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell)|Captain Mar-Vell]], conceived a son, [[Photon (Genis-Vell)|Genis-Vell]], from Mar-Vell’s D.N.A. and artificially accelerated him to young adulthood with implanted memories of growing up on Titan. After Elysius was slain by the [[Negative Zone]] denizen [[Syphonn|Lord Syphonn]], Genis took the identity and heroic mission of Captain Marvel as his own, eventually helping the cosmic entities [[Entropy]] and [[Epiphany]] re-create the universe. In the process, a future action of Genis’s, the resurrection of Elysius, was realigned into contemporary reality so that, as far as recent history was concerned, Elysius had been resurrected shortly after she had died, or possibly had never died at all. In this altered reality, Elysius again underwent artificial pregnancy and bore a daughter, Phyla-Vell, whom she similarly aged to young adulthood with implanted memories. However, because Genis’s cosmic awareness had overwhelmed him during the reality crisis, his memories were only altered on a subconscious level, so on some level he still believed his mother had perished and he was an only child.

[[image:Phyla442.jpg|left|150px]]Driven mad by his cosmic awareness, Genis rampaged across the universe. Elysius and her longtime friend Starfox pursued him to Titan, where Phyla, feeling Genis had disgraced the name of Captain Marvel, now claimed the title as her own. Upon arriving, Genis, already questioning his perceptions of reality, grew more confused as he fought a sister whom he remembered, yet felt had never existed. When Elysius and [[Starfox]] intervened, Genis opened a portal to Nth Space, a dimension which existed primarily in potentiality alone, and forced the three into it, but Phyla pulled him along. As Genis underwent a bizarre illusion scenario, Elysius and Starfox were able to overcome his insanity, and all four Titanians returned to Titan.

Phyla remained convinced she should bear the name Captain Marvel, but an argument with Genis on the subject was interrupted by an attacking alternate future version of [[Jones, Marlo Chandler|Marlo Jones]], wife of Genis’s friend [[Jones, Rick|Rick]]. Genis investigated the timeline that had resulted in the attack, trusting Phyla to protect the contemporary Marlo, whom she rescued from an abduction attempt by the Magus, ally of the alternate Marlo and Ely-Vell, Genis’s son of that future era. Phyla then brought Marlo to Titan to better protect her, but her departure from Earth left Marlo’s female companion [[Moondragon]] open to attack by the [[Magus]]. When Genis returned from the future, Phyla was concerned by his obvious distress, unaware he had resolved to kill his own yet-to-be-conceived son to prevent the catastrophe Ely would cause later in life.

Soon afterward, Moondragon lied to Marlo about the feelings between them and ended their romantic relationship, believing Marlo would be happier with Rick. Phyla was drawn to Moondragon by her selflessness, and a mutual romantic interest arose between the two, who departed together to investigate an unidentified portal, possibly proceeding afterward to view a spiral nebula near Renault VII. Recently, Moondragon was abducted by [[Thanos]], and Phyla pursued him into the crisis known as the Annihilation Wave, already the center of conflict for many powerful space travelers. During the catastrophic battle with [[Annihilus]] and his insectoid forces, Phlya gained the powerful [[Quantum Bands]] from [[Quasar (Wendell Vaughn)|Wendell Vaughn]] (Quasar) the appointed protector of the universe. Phyla sought the help of Moondragon’s father [[Drax|Drax the Destroyer]], to rescue her from Thanos. Drax was eventually successful in rescuing Moondragon and taking the life of Thanos in the process.

Reunited with her lover, Phyla went right back into cosmic chaos, Phyla and Moondragon found themselves on a dire mission to save the Kree race from immanent destruction, which was being caused by the techno-organic invaders known as the [[Phalanx]]. The two women warriors sought to find a powerful wizard that possessed the power to defeat the Phalanx. Before they could get off to a decent start on their quest, the woman adventurers were confronted by the [[Super-Adaptoid]], who had been transformed into a [[Phalanx Select]]. Although the Adaptoid was viciously aggressive and cunning he was easily defeated. Phyla eventually found a cocoon that possessed the rejuvenating body of [[Warlock, Adam|Adam Warlock]], the phalanx were also in search of the Warlock and a battle ensued that eventually ended with Warlock being awakened prematurely and in a mentally unstable state. Phyla, Warlock and Moondragon managed to escape to a secret laboratory occupied by the High Evolutionary. There Phalanx attackers tracked them to the laboratory and Moondragon was slain by their leader [[Ultron]]. In a rage of passion Phyla lunged into battle, although she was persuaded by the High Evolutionary to retreat. Ultron and the Phalanx were eventually defeated and Phyla joined a new peace keeping teamed formed by [[Star-Lord (Peter Quill)|Star-Lord]]. The team would later take on the name of the [[Guardians of the Galaxy]] and they utilized [[Knowhere]] as their base of operations.

[[image:Martyr.jpg|left|250px|Phyla-Vell as Martyr]]Although the team was led by Star-Lord, it was guided by the mystical insight of Adam Warlock, whose primary purpose seemed to be to prevent the collapse of fissure anomalies. On their first mission Phyla and the team clashed with followers of the mighty [[Universal Church of Truth]], an intolerant and zealous religious empire. Believing the Guardians to be anti-church heretics, the UTC has decreed Phyla and her teammates to be enemies of the faith. The team’s strategy is to keep whatever is on the other side of the fabric of reality out of their reality, which is the 616 universe. To fulfill their goal [[Rocket Raccoon]] blew up the Temple Ship while Phyla and Adam absorbed the released energy and used it to drive the unknown predator back through the fissure.

Discovering that Star-Lord had [[Mantis]] telepathically manipulate their minds to facilitate the formation of the Guardians most of the group quit. Phyla and Drax had already left in search of the young Earth girl [[Cammi]], Drax’s former companion who has not been seen since the end of the first Annihilation catastrophe. While they questioned the inhabitants of an unidentified planet, a fortune teller revealed that there was a Great [[War of Kings]] about to take place and it might the reason for their being on this particular planet. Upset and annoyed with the woman’s distraction they began to walk away when she asked, was it the girl that they were looking for? The woman went to revealed that there was a chance for them to save Heather (Moondragon) from eternal death. Their search for her led them to the moon of Saturn also known as [[Titan (Moon of Saturn)|Titan]]. While on Titan they confronted Mentor, Moondragon’s step-father, who quickly murdered them both, so that their spirits could pass beyond the barrier of death into the realm of [[Oblivion]], where Moondragon was trapped in the belly of the [[Dragon of the Moon]]. While in Oblivion's realm Phyla and Drax were approached by the malevolent trickster [[Maelstrom]] who was desperate to escape Oblivion. He took possession of the Phyla’s Quantum Bands, and used Phyla and Drax as sacrificial offerings to the Dragon of the Moon for passage out of Oblivion. Phyla was dropped into the mouth of the beast, but by unknown means was able to emerge from the monster transformed and possessing new powers. Wendell Vaughn had come to her rescue but was astound that she was free. He did manage to retrieve the Quantum Bands form Maelstrom, although Phyla refused to wear them again. She later revealed that she would be known as Martyr for now on.

Recently, Phyla was killed by the [[Thanos]]' rampage.

bio_text=
Stryker was a soldier in the US military. While on a trip home, the family was in an car accident in the Nevada desert and his wife went into labor. His newborn son was born a mutant. Stryker went insane, killing mother and child. He then ignited their car in the attempt to commit suicide. The incident and his behavior afterwards soon caused Stryker to be discharged from the military.

Stryker learned from articles by [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]] that his son was a mutant. He became convinced that Satan had a plot to corrupt humankind by taking over their souls while still in the womb, resulting in their mutations. He began to think of himself as 'chosen by God' to destroy mutants and formed Strkyer's Crusade and the [[Purifiers]].

While his followers committed hate crimes against mutants, Stryker had an elaborate campaign to take out the [[X-Men]] and Stryker arranged to have Professor Xavier kidnapped, brainwashed, and attached to a machine that, using his brainpower, would kill all living mutants. [[Magneto (Magnus)|Magneto]] became involved after investigating the deaths of a mutant family. In order to stop this scheme, the X-Men are forced to join forces with their nemesis, Magneto. The X-Men succeeded in stopping Stryker. He was shot by one of his own security guards and arrested.

Stryker survived and was put in prison. The Purifiers reorganized in the Colorado Rockies. Using another mutant, they were able to free Stryker and lure the X-Men again. However, they clashed with the mutants of Mount Haven and an artificial intelligence calling itself Reverend Paul. Stryker ended up merging with Paul.

Stryker recently emerged after [[House of M|M-Day]], claiming it was a sign that mutants should be destroyed. His Purifiers killed a number of X-Men students, most of them depowered. Stryker revealed that his plans had given him insight into the [[Nimrod (Sentinel)|Nimrod]] [[Sentinels]] creation. Stryker was killed by an enraged [[Elixir]], and later resurrected by a techno-organic virus, but recently was killed again by [[Archangel]], during the fight with the Purifiers.

bio_text= Rentaro Nakadi, known as Quiver, was a mutant outcast in the year 2099, looking for handout food credits with his fellow mutant, [[Sham (2099)|Sham]], at the Theatre of Pain’s floodgate, when he grew nervous, causing a seismic shock with his mutant powers, and getting himself captured. Identified as a mutant, he was strapped to a vertical table and tortured in order for his adrenaline to be drained and sold to paying customers. But his friend Sham, after discovering his fate, escaped capture and freed him from the Theatre’s technician. Together, they headed to the building’s transport bay to find a speeder to hotwire and escape with. But they first collided with the X-Men’s [[Cerebra (2099)|Cerebra]], who shrugged off Sham’s illusion. While Sham was distrustful of Cerebra, and believed that she was an agent of the Theatre, Quiver trusted her, seeing that she also didn’t belong there. So the three parted, and Quiver and Sham found an empty speeder, which they hotwired and Sham drove through a closing security door.

While outside, they faced a group of the Theatre’s security troopers, who were bent on returning them to the research labs. And when Sham used her illusions to distract them, they weren’t fooled, but the [[X-Men (2099)|X-Men’s]] [[Meanstreak (2099)|Meanstreak]] appeared in time to disable them and save Quiver and Sham. But when they explained that they were going back in, Quiver got scared and refused to step foot back in the Theatre, causing more seismic activity with his barely controlled powers. Though when the X-Men went in alone, Sham convinced Quiver to follow them in and help them against the mutant [[Zhao (2099)|Zhao’s]] X-Men. Quiver used his seismic powers to shake Zhao’s [[One-Eyed Jack (2099)|One-Eyed Jack]] and force him to misfire his optic blasts, disabling his teammate, Psycho K. With the help of their old leader [[Xi'an Chi Xan (2099)|Xi’an Chi Xan]], later shocked back out of his criminal mindset, the X-Men destroyed the Theatre and [[Doom (2099)|President Doom]] appeared and offered them Halo City, a refuge built for the Theatre's victims. When the X-Men traveled there, both Quiver and Sham joined them, happy to finally find a home.

Though only Sham joined the city’s security force, the Protectorate, Quiver remained with her at the city, until the approaching planetoid created a melting of the polar ice caps, flooding the world. Quiver and Sham both tried to push their way through the escaping citizens of Halo City to a remaining lifeboat, but were captured instead by [[Vulcann (2099)|Vulcann]] and [[Darkson (2099)|Darkson]], who bound them to a ship’s mast. Xi’an soon freed them, and they were dropped into the ocean. Eventually, both were saved from the waters, and were taken aboard the last ship out of Halo City, towards the single piece of dry land on the planet, Antarctica’s Savage Land.

Hammil, whose head appears to be constantly engulfed in flames, gives credence to the popular but to date unconfirmed theories of Doctor Lucius Kleinstein, who supposes a correlation between an individual's personality traits and the nature of their genetic mutation. Hammil, a typical alpha male who abhors indecision and hesitation, served as the Paragons' leader.

}}{{bio|
bio_text= Nothing is known about the Vanisher's past before he embarked on a one-man crime wave of spectacular thefts using his power of self-teleportation. Thanks to his remarkable successes, the Vanisher quickly assembled a criminal organization under his leadership. In his greatest coup the Vanisher stole top-secret American defense plans and demanded ten million dollars for their return. Confident that no one could capture him, the Vanisher showed up on the White House lawn accompanied by his men to claim the ransom money. Professor Charles Xavier was present and used his psychic powers to give the Vanisher amnesia. Unaware of his own powers, the Vanisher was easily captured and the defense plans were safely returned to the government.

Eventually, the Vanisher's memory returned and he escaped from prison. He then joined Factor Three, an organization of superhuman mutants intent on world domination. However, the X-Men thwarted Factor Three's efforts to bring about a nuclear holocaust . When Factor Three's leader, the Mutant Master, was exposed as an extraterrestrial, the Vanisher and other members of Factor Three teamed up with the X-Men in defeating him.

Later, seemingly tiring of high profile crimes, the Vanisher organized a small band of adolescent thieves, a number of whom had superhuman powers, called the Fallen Angels. Apparently the Fallen Angels eventually disbanded.

More recently, the Vanisher fell under the mental domination of the Darkling, a superhuman who controlled forces from the Darkforce Dimension, the realm through which the Vanisher apparently travels when he teleports. With the Darkling's defeat the Vanisher regained his free will. He soon joined the Outer Circle of the second criminal team to be known as the Enforcers. The Outer Circle met defeat at the hands of Spider-Man and apparently disbanded.

Recently, Vanisher was forced to be a member of the [[X-Force]].

{{teamhistory|
bio_text = The Warriors were founded by wealthy young adventurer [[Night Thrasher|Dwayne Taylor]], who devoted his life to fighting crime after the murder of his parents. Mentored by his legal guardians-retired mercenary [[Chord, Andrew|Andrew Chord]] and enigmatic housekeeper [[Tai]]. Dwayne fought crime as Night Thrasher, forging a vigilante partnership with the superhuman brother-and-sister duo [[Midnight's Fire]] and [[Silhouette]], and romancing the latter; however, their alliance ended badly when Silhouette was shot by a gangster. Blaming Thrasher for the tragedy, Fire disappeared with his fallen sister, swearing vengeance.

Despite this setback, Chord encouraged Dwayne to continue his work, and to keep seeking allies in his war on crime. Inspired by and envious of the family dynamic of the [[Fantastic Four]], Dwayne decided to form his own super-hero quartet: he restored [[Nova (Richard Rider)|Richard Rider]]'s lost super-powers (casually risking Rider's life in the process), persuading veteran adventurer Rider to join him as Nova; he recruited eager young telekinetic hero [[Justice (Vance Astrovik)|Vance Astrovik]], then known as Marvel Boy; and he pressured reluctant heroine [[Firestar]] into joining the group after uncovering her secret identity. No sooner had the four met than they found themselves in battle with the alien menace [[Terrax]], whom they defeated with the aid of [[Namorita]] and the clownish kinetic-energy-charged [[Penance (Robert Baldwin)|Speedball]]. The six heroes decided to remain together as a team, dubbed the "New Warriors" by Speedball using a television reporter's description of them. The new group, based in Dwayne's [[Ambrose Building]] penthouse, was funded by the [[Taylor Foundation]], a conglomerate of financial institutions established by Dwayne's late father and overseen by Chord and Tai, who also acted as Warriors support staff.

After aiding [[Thor (Thor Odinson)|Thor]] against the [[Juggernaut (Cain Marko)|Juggernaut]], the Warriors crushed an [[A.I.M.]]-equipped street gang run by the embittered Midnight's Fire, who was disowned by his sister Silhouette. By this time, the superhuman [[Glossary:G#genetic|genetic]] research firm [[Genetech]] had hired the [[Mad Thinker]] to investigate the Warriors, gathering information on the team's powers; however, the Thinker seemed to take a fond personal interest in them. He concealed the details of their personal lives from Genetech and tried to offer the young heroes guidance over the course of several encounters. Meanwhile, Genetech used the Thinker's data to create their own team of super-youths, [[Psionex]]: [[Asylum (Henrique Gallante)|Asylum]], [[Coronary]], [[Impulse (Dwight Hubbard)|Impulse]], [[Mathemanic]] and [[Pretty Persuasions]]. This unstable new team would encounter the Warriors repeatedly as both enemies and allies. Similarly, Genetech itself would either cause or help defuse a variety of exotic threats over the years, often working with the Warriors.

The Warriors went on to face foes such as the astro-saboteur [[Star Thief (Ditmil Pirvat)|Star Thief]]; corrupt corporation [[Stane International]]; environmental extremists [[Project Earth|Project: Earth]] and their super-agents, the [[Force of Nature]]; the [[Frost, Emma|White Queen]] and her [[Hellions (Hellfire Club)|Hellions]]; a new female [[Sphinx (Meryet Karim)|Sphinx]] whose self-made alternate reality was unmade by the Warriors; the reality-warping mutant [[Proteus]]; cosmic custodian [[Edifice Rex]]; the [[Puppet Master]]; unscrupulous armored marine salvage specialist [[Sea Urchin]]; the [[Hate-Monger (Adolf Hitler)|Hate-Monger]] and his pawns, the [[Sons of the Serpent]]; and a reborn Terrax. Silhouette joined the team, amulet-empowered adventurer [[Darkhawk]] and super-strong man-child [[Rage]] became recurring associates, romance blossomed between Vance and Firestar, and the group adopted a Taylor-owned factory building as its new "[[Crash Pad]]" headquarters.

The Warriors eventually discovered that the Taylor Foundation was corrupt, that Chord had murdered Dwayne's parents, and that Tai was an evil sorceress bent on world domination, a member of the ancient [[Temple of Dragon's Breadth|Dragon's Breadth]] cult whose hidden temple in Kampuchea housed a mystical energy nexus known as the [[Well of All Things]]. Decades ago, a unit of American soldiers-including Chord-had made a pact with Tai through which they would marry the cult's selectively-bred daughters and produce offspring fated to control the Well's power, all in accordance with a prophecy that said a merging of East and West was required to access the power; in fact, Tai planned to sacrifice the children to the Well to gain its power.

All of the soldiers participated in the pact except for [[Taylor, Daryl|Daryl Taylor]] (who refused since he was already married), each of them returning home to start families with their new brides. Tai's daughter [[Chord, Miyami|Miyami]] married Chord and bore him twins; but to save the children from Tai, she faked her own death and that of the twins, whom she gave up before she went into hiding. To replace these children in the pact, Tai mystically forced Chord to kill his friends, the Taylors, and take custody of their boy, Dwayne. When the truth about Tai finally came out, Tai found and killed Miyami and learned that the lost twins were Silhouette and Midnight's Fire. Most of the children of the pact formed the [[Folding Circle]], who hoped to claim the Well's power for themselves. Unwilling to risk the Circle usurping the Well's power, Tai had long since decided to make the Circle her lieutenants and sacrifice an alternate group of super-youths to the Well-this was why she and her pawn Chord had encouraged the formation of the New Warriors. Tai's elaborate plot ended in a three-way battle at the temple between the Warriors, the Circle and Tai, whom Night Thrasher killed to save the Warriors.

By this time, Vance had been jailed for accidentally killing his abusive father. [[Avengers]] trainee Rage, fired for helping the Warriors steal an Avengers [[Quinjet]] to reach Tai's temple, filled Vance's slot in the team. The group also found new allies in veteran super hero [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]]; college students [[Turbo (Mickey Musashi)|Mickey Musashi]], and the hapless [[Turbo (Mike Jeffries)|Mike Jeffries]], who took turns wearing a suit of jet-powered armor as the novice adventurer Turbo; the flying mercenary [[Harrier|Cardinal]]; the mercenary [[Sprocket]] (Cardinal's ex-lover), hired as the team's pilot; the cartoonish [[Slapstick]]; the street vigilantes [[Cloak]] & [[Dagger]]; and obnoxiously brainy teenager [[Hindsight|Carlton Lafroyge]], who provided research and tech support as Hindsight Lad (later simply Hindsight). Namorita took over team leadership from an often-absent Night Thrasher, but after the [[Poison Memories]] street gang stole the Warriors' personal information from Namorita and attacked the team's families, a guilt-stricken Namorita left the team only to rejoin shortly thereafter as the mutated Kymaera. Meanwhile, released from jail early for good behavior, Vance rejoined the Warriors in a new guise as Justice.

When Nova's old foe [[Sphinx (Ananthna-Mut)|Sphinx]] scattered the Warriors across the timestream, Hindsight Lad teamed with Dwayne's estranged half-brother [[Bandit]] to form a new roster alongside Dagger, Darkhawk, [[Zero-G|Alex Power]], and Turbo (Mickey Musashi). These alternate Warriors managed to rescue their time-lost comrades, and the combined Warriors forces defeated the Sphinx, who merged with his female counterpart and found enlightenment after the Warriors helped him see the folly of his villainy. Silhouette broke up with Dwayne and left the team alongside her new lover Bandit, but the remaining new recruits all stayed on as Warriors reservists, and all but Dagger and Darkhawk would soon upgrade to fully active status.

[[image: newwarriors01.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]When Namorita was enslaved by the [[Undertow]] paramilitary group during one of Dwayne's frequent absences, the team expelled Night Thrasher, who left alongside Rage; for a time, the two acted as mentors to Psionex. Justice took over as Warriors leader, and the group was joined by the [[Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly)|Scarlet Spider]] (secretly Spider-Man clone Ben Reilly), the hyper-adaptive [[Helix]], and the time-manipulating [[Timeslip]], who helped rescue Speedball from the kinetic energy dimension where he had been trapped while an alternate-future [[Speedball (Darrion Grobe)|Speedball]] impersonated him for months. After liberating Namorita from Undertow, Night Thrasher and Rage rejoined the Warriors in time to help destroy the would-be world-killer [[Volx]], alien queen of the [[Dire Wraiths]], who had slain backup Turbo (Mike Jeffries).

The group began to drift apart as its members focused on individual pursuits. The increasingly part-time team fought foes such as [[Effex]], the [[Elements of Doom]], and A.I.M. alongside allies such as the young [[Kree]] super-mutant [[Ultra Girl]], the [[Thunderbolts]], and the Avengers (who recruited Firestar and Justice), until Night Thrasher moved to Seattle on a personal mission and formally disbanded the Warriors. Unwilling to give up on the team, Speedball reorganized the group alongside Nova, Namorita, Turbo and new recruits [[Aegis (Trey Rollins)|Aegis]] and [[Maverick (Chris Bradley)|Bolt]], funded by Namorita's cousin [[Sub-Mariner|Namor]]. When an ongoing conflict with arms dealer [[Manfredi, Joseph|Joe Silvermane]] led to the destruction of the "Crash Pad", Turbo's new boyfriend [[Firestrike|Dalton Beck]] helped the team set up shop in a city firehouse; however, Beck was soon exposed as Silvermane's super-agent Firestrike, though a repentant Dalton helped cripple Silvermane's operation before entering the witness protection program. Despite the return of Night Thrasher, the group has since lapsed into a semi-active state again. Turbo is determined to retire from heroics, Bolt apparently died, and only a few Warriors such as Night Thrasher, Nova, Speedball and Namorita were frequent participants in the group. But the team stood ready for action when needed, whether against minor threats like the super-delinquent [[Southpaw]] or major menaces like the hordes of [[Hydra]].

Eventually, Nova left the team to venture into deep space on personal business. During this time, the New Warriors adopted a new way of fighting crime: via Reality Television. The team took part in a television show centered around their exploits as super heroes. The New Warriors would travel around the country with a camera crew as they searched for crime to fight. Hungry for ratings, the team targeted a house in Stamford, Connecticut, where they believed several wanted super criminals were hiding out. The criminals, including [[Nitro (Robert Hunter)|Nitro]], had recently escaped from the [[Raft]] (a super-human holding facility). The New Warriors were unable to subdue all of the criminals, however, and Nitro's explosion leveled an extremely large portion of Stamford. All but Speedball and Nitro were killed in the blast. In addition to the death of the New Warriors, the civillian casualties were horrendous, including an entire elementary school that held 300 children. Nitro escaped, and in his absence the only survivor of the Warriors Speedball was blamed for the destruction and deaths. His trial was sensationalized during the weeks after tragedy. Eventually, Speedball accepted responsibility for the tragedy and registered under the Super-Human Registration Act, earning a pardon as a result and enlisting in the [[Thunderbolts]] program as Penance.

In the aftermath of the [[Civil War|Registration Act]], a new group of young vigilantes who oppose registration have surfaced, calling themselves the New Warriors. The team was formed by [[Bandit]], otherwise known as Donyell Taylor, the original Night Thrasher's brother. He recruited a team of de-powered mutants, secretly trying to locate his brother. De-powered mutants [[Jubilee]], [[Chamber]], [[Beak]], [[Angel (Angel Salvadore)]], and [[Wind Dancer]] are among those who joined his ranks. Trained in field combat by Jubilee, the team uses technology and gadgets to give them superhuman abilities. Their objective is to help the government bring criminals to justice without being registered as superheroes. Time and again, however, they has been harmed by Donyell's lack of honesty towards them, which has caused several rifts in their team. [[Iron Man (Anthony Stark)|Tony Stark]] recently formed his own group of soldiers to hunt the renegade New Warriors down. This caused the surviving group to escape via time travel to a dystopian future, hoping to bring back several of their fallen comrades.

Recently, Justice formed his own team of New Warriors, the Counter Force and after the disbandment of the Night Thrasher's new team, Night Thrasher joined the Counter Force, that reclaimed the New Warriors name. [[Tigra]] and [[Gauntlet]] joined the team, and Tigra suggests the team's name change to "Avengers Resistance", as an attempt to take back the name being corrupted by [[Norman Osborn]]'s Avengers.

{{teamhistory|
bio_text = They were adolescents- kids- too young to be [[X-Men]], but old enough to start the training that would allow them to fully understand and harness their profound mutant powers. [[Professor X]] brought together [[Cannonball (Sam Guthrie)|Cannonball]], [[Karma]], [[Moonstar]], [[Wolfsbane]], and [[Sunspot]] to become the first New Mutants team. Over time, [[Magma (Amara Aquilla)]], [[Cypher (Douglas Ramsey)|Cypher]], [[Warlock (Technarchy)|Warlock]], and [[Magik (Illyana Rasputin)|Magik]] were added to the team and, as they learned to become more powerful mutants together, they learned another important lesson: It's okay to act like normal kids. The New Mutants enjoyed their status as mutants and their youth. But when duty called, maturity set in, and the New Mutants went into action- though sometimes not without consequence. During an assignment, Cypher was shot and killed after leaping into the path of a bullet destined for his teammate Wolfsbane.

Although their membership remained fairly constant throughout their early history, the team was constantly in flux. Shortly after forming Professor X was infected and influenced by a Brood egg. The New Mutants helped fight it off, but afterwards the Professor left for space to recover, leaving the group without a leader. The team briefly joined their rivals, the Hellions, led by Emma Frost, but eventually they came under the leadership of a reformed [[Magneto (Magnus)|Magneto]]. The New Mutants were extremely apprehensive to being taught by the X-Men's arch-enemy, and they eventually were proven to be right when Magneto returned to his old ways after becoming White King of the Hellfire Club.

Magik was reverted back to a little girl after the Inferno Saga.
Moonstar stayed on Asgard and became one of the Valkyrie.
Wolfsbane,Rictor, Sunspot left the team after X-Tinction Agenda. Wolfsbane and Rictor stayed on Genosha to rebuild the country. Sunspot went to run his late fater's company.
Warlock was killed during the X-Tinction Agenda by Cameron Hodge.

After X-Tinction Agenda, the young heroes came under the tutelage of the mutant soldier [[Cable]] and eventually became the strike team [[X-Force]]. This new team consisted of Cable, Cannonball, Boom-Boom, Domino, Shatterstar,Warpath,and Feral. Their first test as a team was against Masque an his Morlocks and the New Brother Hood of Evil Mutants. Siryn also joined X-Force when the team helped her defeat Juggernaut and Black Tom.

Recently, the concept of the New Mutants was revived as one of several teams of students at the expanded Xavier Institute for Higher Learning where they not only learn to master their powers, but are also given the chance to receive a full education.

This incarnation of the team was formed when Professor X enlisted the aid of Danielle Moonstar in recruiting several new students for the school, including the wind-manipulating Sofia Mantega (Wind Dancer), the organic-decaying Kevin Ford (Wither), the skill-mimicking David Alleyne, and healer Josh Foley. Along with the pheromone-generating Laurie Collins (Wallflower) and the electrically charged Noriko Ashida, the sextet became the new New Mutants squad with Moonstar as their faculty advisor. Other former New Mutants who came to join the school as faculty were Xi'an Coy Manh (Karma) and Rahne Sinclair.

[[image: newmutants01.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]Other squads of students were also formed, each with their own advisor, including Cyclops' team the Corsairs, Northstar's Alpha Squadron, Iceman's Excelsiors, Beast's Exemplars, Wolfsbane's Paragons, and Emma Frost's Hellions. Julian Keller (Hellion) was assigned as the latter's team leader; other members included Cessily Kincaid (Mercury), Santo Vaccarro (Rockslide), Brian Cruz (Tag), Jay Guthrie (Icarus), and Sooraya Qadir (Dust). The New Mutants quickly found themselves at odds with the Hellions and were assigned to work off their hostilities by competing against each other in the school's first Field Day training exercise. The Hellions emerged triumphant, much to the New Mutants' chagrin. The two teams soon clashed again after the FBI arrived to arrest Kevin Ford for the murder of his father. Julian sought to rescue Kevin and enlisted Sofia's aid. The New Mutants, with the help of Jay Guthrie, managed to prevent the Hellions from further exacerbating the already tense situation. The charges against Kevin were ultimately dismissed; afterwards he opted to transfer to the Hellions while Jay became a New Mutant like his older brother Sam before him.

Later, the New Mutants teamed up with Julian and Moonstar to investigate supernatural happenings in the mansion. Together, they discovered that a mutant ghost named Jeffrey Garrett was responsible and were able to pacify him after performing a séance. Soon after, Jeffrey joined the Institute's Lower School for younger students. Subsequently, following a Field Day exercise against the Paragons that the New Mutants won, relationships between the students became strained after a brief affair between Josh and Rahne was made public. Rahne left the school as a result just as Sean Garrison arrived to take up the position of school counsellor. Garrison had initially declined the offer, but upon discovering that his estranged daughter, Laurie Collins, was a student at the school, he decided to accept in the hope of winning her back.

After the [[House of M|M-Day]], New Mutants, Hellions and other squads, disbanded. Some members of New Mutants and Hellions joined a trainee team of X-Men. Recently, the original team was reformed as an independent squad of the X-Men.

bio_text= When Tabitha Smith's mutant nature manifested at age 13, she ran away from her abusive home. After an encounter with the otherdimensional Beyonder, Smith was recruited into the Vanisher's band of thieves the Fallen Angels. Briefly taken in by the X-Factor group as a trainee, Smith soon returned to the Fallen Angels only to rejoin her former fellow trainees as the X-Terminators. Subsequently joining the New Mutants, Smith stayed with the team after they were restructured by [[Cable]] into X-Force. She began a relationship with [[Cannonball]] that would last until he graduated and joined the [[X-Men]].

Following her father's near-death experience with Sebastian Shaw and Holocaust, Tabitha underwent a drastic change in looks and personality. She renamed herself Meltdown and became something of a loose cannon. When ex-spy Pete Wisdom assumed leadership of X-Force, he introduced them to the shadowy world of covert operations. After a mission, the team was considered deceased (including Tabitha).

When Cable reformed X-Force, Tabitha briefly rejoined the team. Later, she resurfaced as a member of Nextwave.

| powers = The Beast possesses [[Glossary:S#superhuman|superhuman]] strength, agility, endurance, and speed, despite his bulk. He possesses the agility of a great ape and the acrobatic prowess of an accomplished circus aerialist. His physiology is durable enough to allow him to survive a three story fall by landing on his feet without suffering any broken bones or sprains. The Beast's legs are powerful enough to enable him to leap approximately 15 feet high in a standing high jump, and around 25 feet in a standing broad jump. He can also run on all fours at approximately 40 miles per hour for short sprints.

The Beast can crawl up brick walls by wedging his fingers and toes into the smallest cracks and applying a vice-like grip on them, as well as walk a tightrope with minimal effort. He is adept in performing complicated sequences of gymnastics such as flips, rolls, and springs, and can also walk on his hands for many hours. Further, his manual and pedial dexterity are so great that he can perform multiple tasks such as writing with both hands at once or tie knots in rope with his toes.

The Beast possesses enhanced senses, the ability to secrete pheromones to attract members of the opposite sex, as well as a slight healing factor that allows him to regenerate minor wounds and recover quickly from minor ailments such as colds. The Beast also possesses cat-like night vision as well as razor-sharp claws on his hands and feet.

| abilities = Hank is considered one of the world's experts on [[Glossary:M#mutation|mutations]] and evolutionary [[Humans|human]] biology. He has extensive knowledge of [[Glossary:G#genetics|genetics]], biochemistry, and a variety of other scientific fields. Hank is also an accomplished keyboard player.

{{bio|
bio_text= While working at a nuclear power plant, Norton McCoy was exposed to massive amounts of radiation that affected his genes. As a result, Norton's son, Henry "Hank" McCoy, was born a [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutant]] who showed the signs of his being different from birth with his unusually large hands and feet. As a youth, Hank's freakish appearance was the subject of much ridicule from his classmates, earning him the nickname of "Beast". However, one classmate named Jennifer came to know the real Hank after he began tutoring her in biology. On the night of the junior prom, Jennifer insisted that Hank accompany her as her date, and stood up for him after he was teased.

In his senior year, Hank's superhuman agility and athletic prowess earned him recognition as a star football player. During one game, Hank easily stopped a trio of robbers who were attempting to escape across the football field. His efforts were noticed by the villain named the [[Conquistador]] who kidnapped Hank's parents in an effort to coerce the young mutant into working for him. The X-Men soon arrived and defeated the [[Glossary:S#super-villain|villain]], and Hank was invited by [[Professor X|Professor Charles Xavier]] to join the team of teenage mutant heroes and enroll in the [[Xavier Institute For Higher Learning|Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters]]. Unable to resist the temptation of a private institution that could offer him limitless academic opportunities, Hank accepted. Hank's days were rich with differential equations, Proust and workouts in the [[Danger Room]].

[[Image:BeastOriginal.jpg|left|thumb|Hank as a teenager]]A brilliant student, Hank completed his doctoral studies under Xavier's tutelage, and finally graduated from the Xavier School to take a position at the Brand Corporation as a genetic researcher under Doctor [[Maddicks, Carl|Carl Maddicks]]. During one of his experiments, Hank discovered the hormonal extract that causes [[Glossary:G#genetic|genetic]] mutation and went to inform Maddicks of his findings. However, Maddicks was secretly plotting to steal top secret government documents, and Hank took it upon himself to stop Maddicks. In order to disguise his appearance, Hank took the extract and underwent radical physical changes that enhanced his agility and strength, as well as causing him to grow fangs, pointed ears, and fur all over his body. When he stayed too long in this state, Hank found he could not return to his original form. He was now a beast in fact as well as in name. At first, he tried to hide his mutation with a latex mask and gloves, but later learned to accept his new appearance.

After receiving his doctorate in genetics and being considered one of the world's experts on mutations and evolutionary human biology, despite never having earned a Nobel Prize or been invited to join the National Academy of Sciences, Hank left Brand and applied to join the ranks of [[Earth]]'s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers. Initially accepted as a probationary member, Hank soon proved his worth and was granted full membership. During his time with the team he revealed his identity to the public in the hope that his status as an Avenger would help ease human/mutant tensions.

Following a restructuring of the Avengers, Hank left and became involved with the team of adventurers known as the Defenders which he soon reorganized into a more formal and cohesive unit, bringing in his former X-Men teammates [[Iceman]] and [[Archangel|Angel]]. Following the apparent death of several of the Defenders, Hank reunited with the other four original X-Men to form X-Factor, an organization that intended to seek out and aid other mutants under the pretense of hunting them down. Shortly after the formation of X-Factor, Hank was captured by Maddicks who sought to experiment on Hank in an attempt to find a "cure" for his [[Maddicks, Artie|son's]] own mutancy. However, the serum Hank was given caused him to revert to his original human appearance. Soon after, Hank first met television anchorwoman [[Tilby, Trish|Trish Tilby]], who was investigating X-Factor.

During an attack on New York by the [[Glossary:E#eternal|eternal]] mutant [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]] and his Four Horsemen, Hank was stricken with a virus that sapped his intellect and increased his strength every time he exerted himself physically. The more Hank used his strength, the stronger he got, but the less intelligent he became. Finally, to save his friend Iceman from the deadly kiss of the mutant named [[Infectia]], Hank intervened and was himself affected, the result of which returned him to his blue-furred form and restored his intellect. Soon after, Hank and Trish began seeing each other romantically, however her work often intruded on their relationship and the pair ultimately called it off.

[[Image:FurryBeast.jpg|left|thumb|Beast after his first mutation]]After X-Factor disbanded, Hank returned to the ranks of the X-Men and became the team's resident technological and medical genius, working on everything from advanced [[Glossary:A#alien|alien]] technology to the deadly mutant-killing [[Glossary:L#Legacy Virus|Legacy Virus]]. Hank also continued his on/off relationship with Trish until she released information on the Virus to the public, which caused hysteria that culminated in the beating to death of a young mutant. During this tenure with the X-Men, Hank was lured into a trap and replaced in the ranks of the X-Men by the [[Dark Beast]], an [[Glossary:A#alternate dimension|alternate-reality]] version of himself. Sealed behind a brick wall, Hank was nearly about to give up and let fate win when his water tube broke and spurted, revealing the grooves of a trap door in his cell. Energized by hope, Hank broke his restraints and escaped with the aid of the new government-sponsored X-Factor team. Hank returned to the X-Men, and soon after met with Trish to apologize for his previous harsh treatment of her. She forgave him and the pair renewed their relationship.

Hank eventually took an extended leave of absence from the X-Men to work on a cure for the Legacy Virus, which he ultimately found thanks to his implementing the work of his former colleague, the late [[MacTaggert, Moira|Moira MacTaggert]]. Soon after, Hank joined [[Storm]]'s team of X-Treme X-Men in their quest for the diaries of the late mutant seer [[Destiny (Irene Adler)|Destiny]]. Almost killed in the team's first battle with the villainous [[Vargas]], Hank's life was saved by his teammate [[Sage|Tessa]] who used a heretofore-unseen power to accelerate the Beast's mutation to a new level. Hank returned to Xavier's mansion to recuperate and mutated further, becoming bulkier, heavier, and taking on a more leonine appearance. Forced to relearn fine motor control over his body, Hank once again served as the team's resident genius, as well as an active teacher of dozens of young mutants at the renamed Xavier Institute of Higher Learning.

Unable to deal with his latest mutation, Trish called Hank and ended their relationship over the phone. Soon after, Hank was beaten into a coma by [[Beak]], who was possessed by Professor Xavier's malevolent twin [[Nova, Cassandra|Cassandra Nova]], who herself had possessed Xavier's body. Hank recovered in time to expose her plans and Cassandra was ultimately defeated, but not before she had exposed her brother Charles to the world as a mutant, forever changing life at the Xavier mansion for the X-Men.

| height = 5'6"
| weight = 147 lbs.
| eyes = Green
| hair = Black
| powers = X-23 possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of her cellular structure at a [[Glossary:S#superhuman|superhuman]] rate, which varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage she suffers. Despite the extent of her healing factor, X-23 is not immortal. Injuries that result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form are potentially lethal for her. X-23's natural healing also affords her virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases and the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity. Hence, her endurance, agility and reflexes are enhanced. X-23 also possesses superhumanly acute senses, allowing her to see and hear things at an extended distance. She is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden, and can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.
X-23's skeleton includes two retractable bone claws in each arm and one in each foot that she can extend and retract at will. These claws are housed beneath the skin and muscle. Unsheathing them causes her skin to tear and bleed, but the wounds are quickly dealt with by her healing factor. X-23 can unsheathe any number of these claws at once, although she must keep her wrists and/or feet straight at the moment the claws emerge. The claws are naturally sharp, tougher than normal human bone and have been coated with [[Glossary:A#Adamantium|Adamantium]], allowing X-23 to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.
Presumably, because X-23 is a [[Glossary:C#clone|clone]] of the mutant Wolverine, her healing factor will also provide her with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.
| paraphernalia = X-23's claws have been coated with the nigh-indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, her claws are virtually unbreakable and are capable of cutting through almost any substance depending on its thickness and the amount of force she can exert. Due to her healing factor, the presence of Adamantium in her body does not interfere with her bones' normal function of generating blood corpuscles.

{{bio|
bio_text= When a top-secret program attempted to recreate the original [[Weapon X]] experiment that involved the feral [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutant]] Wolverine, they failed to secure a test subject that could survive the bonding of the virtually unbreakable metal Adamantium to their skeleton. Seeking to take the project in a new direction, the project's director, Doctor Martin Sutter, recruited renowned mutant [[Glossary:G#genetics|geneticist]] Doctor Sarah Kinney and tasked her with creating a clone. Using the only available [[Glossary:G#genetic|genetic]] sample from Weapon X, which was damaged, they were unable to salvage the Y chromosome after 22 attempts. Kinney then proposed they create a female clone, and though her request was initially denied, she still went ahead and produced a viable female subject, prompting Sutter to reconsider. Despite resistance from his protégé Doctor Zander Rice, whom he had raised after Rice's father was killed by a bestial Wolverine at the original Weapon X Project, Sutter allowed Kinney to proceed. As revenge for her insubordination, Rice forced Kinney to act as the surrogate mother for the clone, and she gave birth to "X-23."

[[image: x-2301.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]Raised in captivity, X-23 was trained to be a weapon. Kinney did her best to ensure the child retained some semblance of humanity, but her efforts appeared to be in vain. After seven years, Rice had X-23 subjected to radiation poisoning in order to accelerate the activation of her mutant gene, then forcibly extracted her claws and coated them with Adamantium. Next, Rice created a chemical compound he called "trigger scent" that sent X-23 into an involuntary berserker rage upon smelling its presence. Three years later, X-23 was sent on her first field mission to kill Presidential candidate Greg Johnson. Numerous other missions followed, as X-23's services were sold to the highest bidder, and she was left emotionally stunted as a result. Rice, in an attempt to avenge his father's murder, abandoned X-23 on a particularly dangerous mission, but she survived against overwhelming odds and managed to return to the facility.

Ultimately, Rice persuaded Sutter to hand over control of the program to him, then secretly ordered X-23 to kill Sutter and his family. Later, Rice revealed to Kinney a chamber with dozens of incubation pods containing female clones before he fired her. Before fleeing the facility with X-23, Kinney gave her one last mission - destroy the pods and kill Rice. However, Rice was able to exact revenge on Kinney from beyond the grave, as he had earlier exposed her to the trigger scent, sending X-23 into a rage that caused her to kill her mother. As she lay dying, Kinney named X-23 Laura.

[[image: x-2302.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]X-23 surfaced in New York two years later and was found living on the streets by a pimp named [[Zebra Daddy]], who took her in and employed her as a prostitute. During her time as a prostitute, X-23 seemed to suffer from a self-mutilating disorder. She superficially cut herself with her own claws whenever she was in a threatening situation. She also seemed to suffer some personality issues which left her mostly mute and unable to free herself from the grip of Zebra Daddy. X-23 started to come to her senses after she met [[Nixon, Kiden|Kiden Nixon]], a young mutant with the ability to freeze [[Glossary:T#time|time]] when in danger, and together with Kiden's teacher, they rescued another young mutant, the feral [[Catiana]], from an angry mob. Zebra Daddy tracked X-23 down, but with the aid of her newfound friends and the mutant named [[Felon]], Zebra Daddy's thugs were defeated. X-23 then killed him to save the lives of her friends. X-23 later took a job at the mutant-themed Wannabee's nightclub in the [[Mutant Town]] district of New York. It was there that she saved the life of the daughter of mob boss Don Parisi from a gang of thugs, whom she killed. The deaths inadvertently implicated Wolverine, prompting his teammates in the [[X-Men]] to investigate. X-23 instinctually attacked Wolverine on sight, but he was eventually able to calm her down, and she led the X-Men to Parisi's daughter. After aiding the X-Men against Parisi's super-strong mutant enforcer [[Geech]], X-23 fled the scene. She later returned to help the X-Men save victims of a car accident, after which she was enrolled at the X-Men's [[Xavier Institute For Higher Learning|Xavier Institute]].

X-23 quickly became very protective of Wolverine, attacking his teammate [[Bishop (Lucas Bishop)|Bishop]] after he felled Wolverine during a training session. She also took to observing Wolverine on the mansion's security monitors. During one such viewing, an anomalous energy spike prompted X-23 to investigate. Encountering [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]] at the source of the signal, X-23 initially mistook him for an enemy and attacked. The pair ultimately teamed up to save the young mutant [[Patterson, Paul|Paul Patterson]] from an [[Glossary:A#Alternate Earth|alternate reality]] version of the armored [[Avengers|Avenger]] [[Iron Man (Anthony Stark)|Iron Man]]. The arrival of the heroic [[Captain America (Steve Rogers)|Captain America]] and the super-spy [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow]] helped turn the tide. X-23 then secretly followed Wolverine on his investigation of strange activity in the Canadian Rockies. Ambushed by the Hauk'ka, evolved Saurians from the [[Savage Land]], X-23 managed to escape and alert the X-Men. Traveling to the Savage Land, X-23 and the X-Men teamed with the Land's lord [[Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder)|Ka-Zar]] and his circumstantial allies, the [[Savage Land Mutates]], to prevent the Hauk'ka from destroying human civilization by controlling the weather-manipulating X-Man [[Storm]].

Sometime later, X-23 turned up in the in two other X-titles, without her friends. She was accused of the murders of four [[Humans|humans]] that were investigated by Wolverine and his fellow X-Men. (While she was responsible for the murders, she committed them because the victims were brutally attacking a young woman.) After a brief conflict with the mutant [[Glossary:S#super hero|heroes]], X-23 came to live with them at the Xavier Institute. She has nearly no social skills, so Wolverine is helping her adjust to her new life. She seems to be making friends with [[Pryde, Kitty|Shadowcat]], [[Psylocke]], and [[Marvel Girl (Rachel Summers)|Rachel Summers]]. X-23 was approached by the [[Glossary:C#cosmic|cosmic]] Uni-Power in hopes of making specific use of her healing ability. Although she initially resisted its attempts to bond with her, and she remained reluctant even though it pleaded with her, she ultimately agreed to aid it and became Captain Universe for a brief time.

[[Image:x23target.jpg|right|250px|thumb]]After the effects of [[House of M|"M-Day"]], X-23 was one of the few students who didn't lose their powers. The depowered students and staff were sent home; however their bus was bombed by anti-mutant religious zealot [[Stryker, William|Reverend William Stryker]]. Subsequently, [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]] had the surviving students engage in an all-in brawl, with those deemed to be the best performers assigned to a new team of trainee X-Men. Despite Frost's attempts to omit her, X-23 was among those students who made the grade.

Shortly afterwards, following Stryker's attack on the ex-mutant students, X-23 heard [[Dust]] talking to [[Icarus (Jay Guthrie)|Icarus]], who had fled the Mansion. Dust intended to meet Jay, but Laura told her it was a trap, and had to knock out her roommate to keep her safe. Donning Dust's burkha X-23 came to Stryker's compound and was shot. After a few minutes spent healing and playing possum, Laura returned to the Mansion to help fend off Stryker and his goons.

The team gave more respect to Laura following her part in stopping Stryker's attack, in which she single-handedly killed three Purifiers. Following that she started to bond with her friends, using her enhanced hearing to find out what happened to Icarus for them, learning that Stryker killed him.

After Surge received a distress call from [[Forge]], X-23 followed the team along to Dallas to rescue him from the [[Sentinels|Sentinel]] [[Nimrod (Sentinel)|Nimrod]]. At the height of the desperate battle she managed to cut through to the interior of the machine with her claws, allowing the Sentinel to be defeated. She was wounded during the battle and was unable to heal herself. In order to save X-23, [[Hellion|Julian]] supercharged his [[Glossary:T#telekinetic|telekinetic]] powers with the help of Emma Frost in order to rush her back to the mansion where she was healed by [[Elixir]]. As Hellion recovered his strength, and found that his power levels were enhanced, Laura kept watch over him. Emma Frost confronted Laura, asking her to leave the school because of the trigger scent saying that she was a danger to everyone at the institute even Julian. Their conversation is cut short by Cessily ([[Mercury]]) coming to Laura's defense. Mercury persuades Laura to go for coffee and discuss Laura's crush on Julian. However, the cafe is attacked by [[Kimura]] and her minions. though Laura thought that Kimura was after her, she was really after Cessily.

Laura goes back to the Xavier Institute when Hellion interrupts her as she is gearing up to attack against the facility. He informs her that he is coming with her. The two find a hide out where Laura interrogates a man at gun point. Upon securing the information she needs, X-23 shoots him in the head. Julian is shocked and tells her that killing will no longer be a part of their interrogation technique, X-23 remains silent and the two continue their search for the facility.

bio_text= Joshua Foley is an omega-class mutant whose abilities have yet to reach their full potential. Formerly a member of the mutant-hating Reavers, Foley was recruited as a student for the Xavier Institute by teacher Danielle Moonstar. His parents disowned him soon after, leading Moonstar to become his legal guardian.With nowhere else to go, Josh reluctantly went to the X-Mansion, being roomed with Prodigy - a situation that neither of them initially found appealing. Josh sent a letter home which only caused his parents to make their disowning of him formal, handing his legal guardianship to the school (specifically, Moonstar). Initially, Josh became friends with the group who would later become the Hellions squad, particularly Hellion, but after finding out about Josh's history with the Reavers, they rejected him too, and the [[New Mutants]] intervened to save him. After this, he (reluctantly at first) started hanging around with them.

Shortly after this, a depowered [[Wolfsbane]] (Rahne Sinclair) visited the mansion. Having only heard about her timid early days, Josh was instantly smitten by the new "wild child" Rahne (much to Laurie's dismay, just as she was plucking up the courage to ask him out). After Rahne was rejected for a teaching post due to immaturity, Josh sneaked out of the X-Mansion at night to a bar where she was playing pool. Over the course of a conversation, he rationalized that her new attitude was a way of letting out instincts she had previously been able to blame on "the wolf." Eventually, as they were returning to the mansion, she realized that she did want "the wolf" back, contrary to her previous declarations. As they kissed, he healed away the effects of the weapon that had depowered her - but she lost control as this happened, slashing him open and howling to the moon.[[Wallflower]] (Laurie Collins, looking for Josh, came across this scene and (for the first time) managed to control her power to scare Rahne away. But she couldn't return the favor from before to heal the mortally-wounded Josh (who didn't automatically heal because he needs to do it consciously).

As he was rushed to the mansion's infirmary, [[Beast]] (in response to the question of how he reversed Wolfsbane's depowering) revealed the full potential of Josh's power for the first time - he could manipulate all the body's functions on a genetic level. The fact that Josh only healed was simply a result of his inexperience. They put him on an I.V. drip, but with Archangel, the mansion's other healer, not present, there was little hope. Prodigy, however, realised that he could heal himself if only he was awake: and [[Surge]] said she could wake him up with a small jolt. Reluctantly, Beast went along with this, disconnecting his drip. Surge woke him up, and Laurie kept him calm long enough to for him to heal his wounds. There was one side-effect though which shocked him - for one reason or another, he had turned his skin and hair to a reflective gold (Dani Moonstar speculated it was because he wanted to be the "golden boy" - and injured as he was, he didn't have full control over this instinct).

Since the mansion's destruction and rebuilding under [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]] and [[Emma Frost]], the student body has been organized into six-member squads - although for Josh, this simply meant a formalizing of the New Mutants group. When Rahne was finally accepted onto the teaching staff after this, she tried to break off her relationship with him (he even went out on a date with Laurie during this period). Despite Josh's argument that there is less than three years of an age gap, Rahne pointed out that she was a teacher now, and she shouldn't be dating a student. This didn't last, however, and they attempted to keep it secret, until Rahne saw him on a date with Laurie, and broke the relationship off for good, feeling it would be healthier for him to date another student. While he was depressed in the immediate aftermath, however, Josh eventually realized that it was for the best and pursued a relationship with Laurie - until Wither, who had seen Rahne and Josh's breakup, announced it in his jealousy to break Josh and Laurie up. He succeeded, and Rahne resigned from her job and left the school as a result.As a result, the rest of the team - bar Surge - ostracized him for some time, with his roommate David (Prodigy) particularly harsh towards him. In addition, he lost it while dancing with [[Magma (Amara Aquilla)|Magma]] at the school dance after seeing David and Laurie kiss - unbeknownst to him, as a result of Laurie using her powers to make David kiss her with the aim of making Josh jealous - ranting at the two of them before storming out.

Constantly craving the admiration and recognition of his fellow students, Foley, now a member of the Institute's New Mutants squad, is prone to egotistic and inconsiderate actions, which, contrary to his intentions, tend to result in disapproval and resentment. His not yet fully realized healing abilities are a variable which should not be underestimated.

After M-day, Josh tried to heal [[Wallflower]] when her arm was accidentally dessicated by Wither, and then made the grade as a New X-Man. However, he failed to fix Laurie's arm, nor could he save any of the ex-mutant students when their bus was bombed by Stryker's men. Josh went into severe depression and lashed out at everyone, even slamming Colossus in the head after a Danger Room workout. Then, Josh saw Wallflower's assassination at the hands of a Purifier sniper and he snapped. At this point he was able to reverse his power and induce boils or blisters on [[Wolverine (James Howlett)|Wolverine]] when the X-Man tried to hold him back. When Wlliam Stryker began his assault on the mansion josh was sitting in the infirmary motionless and depressed, when he finally came to his scences he became enraged over the death of laurie, he left the infirmary and proceeded to kill stryker causing his skin to turn from gold to black and him falling into a catonic state.

When [[X-23]] was mortaly wounded during the New [[X-men]]'s battle with [[Nimrod]], [[Hellion]] rushed her to the mansion to be healed by Josh, though very reluctant Josh healed her, reverting his skin to its gold color except for a few black spots. At the memorial for the students killed in the bus crash by Stryker, Josh announced his plan to learn how to fully control his powers. Josh had asked [[Beast]] to teach him all he knew about the human annatomy, but because he thought it would take too long he decided to ask for help from the [[Stepford Cuckoos]]. The Stepford Cuckoos preformed a type of brain drain while Beast was sleeping one night transfering all the knowledege Beast knew about the human body into Josh. After the brain drain was preformed Elixir, along with the other students of the mansion, were transfered down into [[limbo]] by the demon [[Belasco]].

To that end, the O*N*E contracted [[Stark Industries]] to upgrade existing Sentinels, as well as acquiring offensive and defensive improvements from [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], to form a new breed of Sentinels designed to be operated by human pilots. This group of Sentinels is unique in that they are piloted, as opposed to the traditional robotic Sentinel. The current group was trained by James Rhodes (War Machine).

The Sentinel Squad program endeavors to train a new generation of controllable, dependable, repairable, replaceable, customizable, and loyal American heroes that are supervised by the O*N*E and trained to follow a military command structure.

Sentinel Squad O*N*E was deployed at the X-Mansion to protect the mutants in case any enemies used this low point as an opportunity to attack them at their weakest, and also to stop the mutants in the event of a revolution.

{{teamhistory|
bio_text = When Reverend [[Stryker, William|William Stryker]] began a crusade to rid the world of mutants, he enlisted the aide of trusted followers. Called the “Purifiers”, this group soon became Stryker’s strikeforce against mutant population when he was unable to obtain his goals through televangelism speeches. However, this group of Purifiers disbanded soon after Stryker had been arrested.

[[image:PurifiersInset.jpg||left]]Escaped from prison and filled with doubt, Stryker had planned on committing suicide. Deciding to do it within a church, he instead found the [[Nimrod (Sentinel)|Nimrod Sentinel]]. Believing it to be a sign from God, Stryker used its technology to view into the future. Discovering that an event that would wipe out nearly all of the mutant population would eventually take place, Stryker believe that it was still not enough and all mutants must be purged from the world’s existence. Continuing to use the technology of Nimrod, Stryker viewed into the future, finding those he believed he could persuade to join his cause, who would have normally died, but he intervened and saved them. Telling them that it was the will of God that they live and do Stryker’s work. A new group of Purifiers were soon created.

[[image:PurifiersInset2.jpg||right]]Gaining the trust of [[Icarus]], who had wanted to be a mutant who became depowered, but was not, Stryker convinced him to inform him of information pertaining to transportation of empowered mutants away [[Xavier Institute]] by telling him he was going to save them. The Purifier’s launched an attack on the buses, killing all forty-two students on board. Icarus confronted Stryker about what had transpired, but was killed soon by Stryker. Continuing his assault on the [[New X-Men]], targeting the students classified as Omega threat first in order to launch a direct attack against them later. Under the orders of Stryker, the Purifiers assassinated [[Wallflower]] before launching a final assault upon Xavier's Institute. The attack relentless, leaving some members injured and [[Quill (Max Jordan)|Quill]] dead. The battle ended when [[Elixir]] used his powers in a reverse state on Stryker, killing him. Once Stryker had fallen, the Purifiers fled and regrouped under fellow member Matthew Risman, who had now replaced Stryker as leader.

The Purifiers have since found the [[Predator X]] creature that Stryker had the [[Facility]], an agency that created X-23, genetically engineer to be developed into a weapon to hunt and kill mutants. They currently have plans to use it against mutantkind.

[[Bulwark (Hellions)|Bulwark]], a German mutant, could bulk up to a muscular, superhumanly strong form; [[Vincente]] assumed a poisonous, gaseous form; [[Murmur]] was an agile, soft-spoken individual, wrapped in bandages and infected with Emplate’s hunger for mutant energies; [[D.O.A.]] was a midget with undisclosed abilities; and [[Edgerton, Gayle|Lady Gayle Edgerton]], the only human in the group, whom Emplate gave energy-draining powers akin to his own, was a former lover of Generation X’s [[Chamber]]. Their first assault was repelled by Generation X and [[Cable]], but they attacked again several months later, with Murmur, Edgerton and Bulwark replaced by [[Wrap]], another bandaged individual seemingly possessed of superhuman strength, and an unidentified female who commanded “Ebon Energy”. Soundly defeated once more, the group has not been seen together since.

bio_text = [[Mutants]]! The very word strikes fear and worry in many people's hearts, but many also dream of a peaceful coexistence between man and mutant. [[Professor X]] had such a dream, and his X-Men is a team of mutants willing to take stand for it!

== The First Class ==

[[image:XMenInline1.jpg|190 pixel image|190px|left]]Under a cloud of increasing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Xavier created a safe haven at his [[Xavier Institute|Westchester mansion]] where he could train young mutants to use their powers for the betterment of mankind. Aided by F.B.I. agent [[Duncan, Fred|Fred Duncan]], Xavier spent months recruiting his early students (code-named [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]], [[Iceman]], [[Angel (Warren Worthington III)|Angel]], [[Beast (Henry McCoy)|Beast]] and [[Phoenix (Jean Grey)|Marvel Girl]]), dubbing them "X-Men" because each possessed an "extra" ability normal humans lacked. The X-Men made their public debut by thwarting [[Magneto (Magnus)|Magneto]]'s seizure of the Cape Citadel missile base. The U.S. military was grateful, and the youngsters were initially regarded as heroes. Magneto would battle the X-Men repeatedly over the years, sometimes leading his [[Brotherhood of Mutants|Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]]. The X-Men also battled such threats as the immovable [[Blob]], the untouchable [[Unus]], the alien [[Lucifer (Quist)|Lucifer]], the savage [[Swamp Men]], the enigmatic [[Stranger]], the unstoppable [[Juggernaut (Cain Marko)|Juggernaut]], and the giant mutant-hunting [[Sentinels|Sentinel]] robots.

The arrogant mutated human [[Mimic (Calvin Rankin)|Mimic]] briefly joined the team before Xavier secretly went into hiding. Requiring seclusion to prepare for a forthcoming invasion of [[Earth]] by the alien [[Z'Nox]], Xavier had the shape-shifting mutant [[Changeling]] impersonate him in order to supervise the X-Men in his absence; however, the Changeling "Xavier" died heroically in battle against the subterranean [[Grotesk]]. Of the X-Men, only Marvel Girl knew that Xavier was still alive, though she was sworn to secrecy. Duncan had the X-Men disband briefly, but the team had regrouped by the time Xavier finally came out of hiding, leading them in repelling the Z'Nox with the aid of the [[Fantastic Four]]. Joined by [[Polaris]] and [[Havok]], the heroes befriended [[Avia]] of the [[Savage Land]]'s [[Nhu'Gari]] race, and fought the likes of African mutant [[Deluge (mutant)|Deluge]] (alongside young future member [[Storm]]), the mutant slave-runner [[Krueger]], the criminal [[Dazzler (Burtram Worthington)|Dazzler]] (Angel's uncle, Burt Worthington), the telepathic alliance known as the [[Promise]], the [[Inhumans|Inhuman]] [[Yeti (Inhuman)|Yeti]], and the [[Secret Empire]].

== All-New, All-Different ==

When the sentient island [[Krakoa]] captured most of his students, Xavier hastily assembled a second squad of X-Men. Traveling the world, he recruited [[Nightcrawler]] in Germany, [[Wolverine (James Howlett)|Wolverine]] in Canada, [[Banshee]] in Ireland, Storm in Kenya, [[Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida)|Sunfire]] in Japan, [[Colossus (Piotr Rasputin)|Colossus]] in Russia, and [[Thunderbird (John Proudstar)|Thunderbird]] in America. Led by Cyclops, these all-new, all-different X-Men were able to rescue their predecessors. Except for Cyclops, the previous members all quit the expanded team. Sunfire also left the group, and Thunderbird died battling [[Count Nefaria]] and his [[Ani-Men]] during an attempted takeover of the N.O.R.A.D. facility in Cheyenne Mountain.

When the U.S. government unleashed new-model Sentinels that imprisoned Jean Grey and several other X-Men on a space station, the team escaped to Earth in a shuttle through a lethal solar-radiation storm. Dying from radiation, Jean was touched by the cosmic [[Phoenix Force]], which replicated Jean's form and absorbed a portion of her consciousness. Guiding the shuttle to a crash-landing, the Phoenix Force secretly placed the real Jean in stasis within a cocoon-like pod at the bottom of Jamaica Bay, then took her place in the X-Men. The X-Men subsequently battled the Juggernaut, Magneto, Emperor [[Neramani, D'Ken|D'Ken]] of the intergalactic [[Shi'ar]] Empire, the eccentric assassin [[Arcade]], the prehistoric mutant [[Sauron]], [[Alpha Flight]], the reality-altering [[Proteus]], and the [[Hellfire Club]]. The Club's probationary member Jason Wyngarde ([[Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde)|Mastermind]]) mentally manipulated the Phoenix, who was rapidly corrupted by her own vast power and, as a result, transformed into Dark Phoenix. Ultimately, Jean's psyche resurfaced and convinced the Phoenix Force to sacrifice itself to save the universe. Believing Jean to be dead, Cyclops quit the team, leaving Storm to lead them in his absence.

== The Dream Branches Out ==

The X-Men soon welcomed more new members, including [[Pryde, Kitty|Kitty Pryde]], [[Rogue]], and [[Marvel Girl (Rachel Summers)|Rachel Summers]]. When the X-Men were believed dead after an encounter with the alien Brood, Xavier formed a new team of students dubbed the [[New Mutants]]. After the X-Men returned, Xavier continued to mentor both teams. The New Mutants even served temporarily as X-Men to save the team from interdimensional media mogul [[Mojo]].

[[image:XMenInline3.jpg|thumb|left]]The real Jean Grey eventually revived and was reunited with the original X-Men members. Together they established [[X-Factor]], supposedly a business dedicated to hunting and capturing dangerous mutants, but secretly a group formed to protect, recruit and mentor mutants in need of guidance, like Xavier before them. At the same time, the X-Factor group moonlighted as an openly mutant super-hero team, the X-Terminators. Their ranks already scattered and depleted after battles with the likes of [[Mister Sinister|Mr. Sinister]]'s [[Marauders (mutants)|Marauders]], the X-Men seemingly died battling the [[Adversary]] in Dallas, but they secretly survived and relocated to the Australian Outback, battling threats such as the cyborg [[Reavers]], the [[Master Mold]], and [[Nanny (cyborg)|Nanny]] and her [[Orphan-Maker]]. While seeking the missing X-Men, [[Forge]] and Banshee helped form an ad-hoc team of X-Men to defend [[Muir Island]] from the Reavers. This team then fell under the thrall of the psychic [[Shadow King]], and it took the combined efforts of the X-Men and X-Factor to defeat him. Afterwards, the members of X-Factor rejoined the X-Men which then split into two teams, Blue and Gold.

== Onslaught and O:ZT ==

When Magneto nearly killed Wolverine by forcibly extracting the [[Adamantium]] implants from his skeleton, Xavier retaliated by telepathically lobotomizing Magneto; but Xavier paid a high price for this action. Tainted by Magneto's essence, Xavier unwittingly created the evil psionic entity [[Onslaught (entity)|Onslaught]], which seemingly slew most of New York's major super heroes before being defeated. The heroes eventually returned, but not before Xavier was arrested for his part in the creation of Onslaught. Incarcerated, Xavier was interrogated by the hybrid Sentinel [[Bastion]], who used the information he gained to launch an assault on the X-Men under the guise of the government-sponsored [[Operation: Zero Tolerance]] program. After the program was shut down, Xavier was forced to flee from his own mutant-locating computer [[Cerebro]], which had become a sentient nanotech construct due to Bastion's machinations. Trying to realize Xavier's dream and fulfill its mutant-recruitment programming, Cerebro created solid holographic amalgamations of mutants in Xavier's files, then set about "recruiting" them to join a new team of X-Men with itself as their "founder". Cerebro's plan was foiled by the true X-Men, and it was ultimately stopped after Xavier caused it to overload.

Magneto soon resurfaced, holding the planet hostage with its own magnetic field, and convinced the world's leaders to grant him sovereignty over [[Genosha]], an island nation near South Africa where humans once enslaved mutants. At first forced to cope with civil war and the effects of the lethal [[Legacy Virus]], Magneto gained the might of a unified nation when a cure for the mutant plague was released into the atmosphere. Magneto proclaimed his intended dominance over mankind, standing ready to unleash an entire nation of mutates upon the planet. With the aid of a hastily-assembled interim team, the X-Men narrowly averted the would-be conqueror's ultimate offensive.

== The "New" X-Men & New Teams ==

[[image:XMenInline4.jpg|thumb|right]]When Xavier and the X-Men were publicly outed as mutants by Xavier's genetic twin, [[Nova, Cassandra|Cassandra Nova]], the Xavier Institute was overwhelmed with an influx of young mutants seeking safety and education. To cope with the large student body, Xavier recruited several new faculty members into the Institute, including former [[Alpha Flight]] member [[Northstar]] and a reformed Juggernaut. Xavier also formed the [[X-Corporation]], a global search-and-rescue unit for oppressed mutants. The X-Corporation boasts headquarters around the world, with numerous mutants from the various splinter teams rallying to join the cause.

Following an all-out assault on Manhattan by a mutant posing as [[Xorn|Magneto]], Xavier left the X-Men to help the true Magneto rebuild Genosha after it was devastated by a Sentinel attack. Cyclops and [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]] became co-headmasters of the Institute and reorganized the X-Men into three separate teams, leading one team themselves in an effort to improve the X-Men's standing with the public. A second team was led by Cyclops' brother Havok, while the third, the [[X-Treme X-Men|X-Treme Sanctions Executive]] led by Storm, acted as a global mutant police force until its license was revoked in the wake of [[House of M|"M Day"]].

== Post Decimation ==
Following the events of the House of M - in which the vast majority of mutants were suddenly de-powered) - the X-Mansion became home to a refugee camp housing a [[198|bedraggled and sometimes volatile group]] of the world's remaining powered mutants. The United States government surrounded the perimeter of the mansion with manned [[Sentinel Squad O*N*E|Sentinels]] reporting to the newly-created [[Office of National Emergency|O*N*E]], ostensibly to protect the mutant camp as a national security asset. The X-Men thus found themselves in the position of having to act as intermediaries between the government and the mutants and relations between the three groups fluctuated widely from cautious friendship to outright antagonism.

Despite the new stresses placed upon them, the X-Men continued to engage in field missions, including combating a newly resurgent [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]] and a group of Shi'ar Death Commandos intent on assassinating Rachel Grey. The current student population, has, unfortunately, significantly dropped after a series of attacks by a religious cult led by Reverend [[Stryker, William|William Stryker]]. After a mass escape attempt by the mutant refugees was resolved peacefully, tensions between the government and the X-Men decreased significantly.

bio_text= When his genetic [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutation]] manifested, Kevin Ford accidentally killed his father with his lethal and uncontrollable touch. Subsequently recruited as a student at the [[Xavier Institute For Higher Learning|Xavier Institute]], Ford found companionship in a student training squad called the Hellions, instructed by co-headmaster [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]]. Ford was later arrested and charged with his father's death, but the incident was deemed accidental by a criminal court in Atlanta, Georgia. Nonetheless, Ford would likely have fled before his trial had an attempted breakout by several of his fellow students been successful. An outcast even among his mutant peers, Ford is to be considered an extreme security risk. He met and developed a crush on [[Wallflower|Laurie Collins]]. However, when he decayed the skin off the [[Glossary:C#cyborg|cyborg]] [[Pierce, Donald|Donald Pierce]], [[Moonstar|Dani Moonstar]] was forced to stop him by showing him his worst fear - killing Laurie. In the aftermath of this, and realising that using his power "felt right", he left the Institute.

Some months later, Dani, with the help of Emma Frost set out to bring him back to the school, to fill the sixth place on the formalised New Mutants squad, mentored by Dani. While Kevin was still angry at Dani, Emma managed to persuade him to return, and he joined the New Mutants squad under the codename Wither. Clashing with [[Elixir]], the current object of Laurie's affections who he'd last seen as one of Pierce's [[Reavers]], [[Mercury (Cessily Kincaid)|Mercury]], the only person he could touch without killing, reached out to him, having developed a crush on him. Shortly after he returned to the school he was arrested by the FBI for killing his father. While the Hellions tried to "rescue" him (Mercury coming in through a window to let him know), the New Mutants tried to stop them - fearing the consequences of involving the Institute in a fight with the FBI - until the [[X-Men]] arrived and ended the fight, taking them all back to the Institute before they were discovered. This was the final straw, however, and he swapped squads with [[Icarus (Jay Guthrie)|Icarus]] to become a Hellion.Recently, he discovered Elixir's former relationship with [[Wolfsbane]] and released it to the school, successfully ending Josh's relationship with Laurie.
During [[House of M|M-Day]], when most of the world's mutants lost their powers, Kevin mistakenly thought he had lost his powers also. He touched Laurie's hand making it withered and after feeling more guilty and depressed he ran away from the Institute.

Recently, Wither joined [[Selene]]'s Inner Circle and died fighting Elixir.

bio_text= Jay is the son of Thomas Zebulon Guthrie, also referred to as "Ty" and "Zeke," and Lucinda Guthrie. Jay's older siblings Sam (Cannonball) and Paige (Husk) are [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutants]] as well, and both have been members of the [[X-Men]]. Another of their siblings, Jeb, has developed the mutant ability to project electricity from his eyes, as well as his sister Melody (a.k.a. Aero) who was de-powered during [[House of M|M-Day]]. He has several other human brothers and sisters, and his whole family is generally hated by his home town due to the fact that they all seem to be developing mutant powers. When Sam and Paige left home to become X-men, Jay took over the role of the father in the house, feeling that he had to protect his younger brothers and sisters.

When he himself developed mutant powers, (red, angel-like wings that allow him to fly, strong regenerative abilities, and can vocally mimic any sound he hears or imagines; for example, he can sound like a whole choir when he sings) he hid them from his family. However, when performing in his band he exposed his wings to the crowd as a 'stage gimmick'.

Jay fell in love with Julia Cabot, but due to a long feud between the Guthries and the Cabots a fight broke out. Jay was struck down by Julia's father, who had acquired and modified some superpowered armor. Believing Jay to be dead, Julia dragged Jay's body to the river. She wrapped his arms around her, heading for the deepest part of the river. The two sank to the river's bottom and Julia subsequently drowned. Neither Jay nor Julia were aware of Jay's mutant regenerative powers, but when Jay sank to the bottom of the river, these powers manifested. Jay awoke at the bottom of the river with Julia in his arms. He swam to the surface with her and brought her to the riverbank. When he discovered she was dead, he tried (unsuccessfully due to his healing factor) to stab himself in the heart with a sharp piece of wood. [[Archangel|Warren Worthington]] arrived on the scene, found Jay, and helped him carry Julia's body back to the Guthrie house.

After Julia's death, Jay attempted to kill himself a few more times, hoping his healing factor would fail. Eventually his mother sent him to the Xavier Institute against his will. Jay speculated this was just so she wouldn't feel guilt if he tried to hurt himself again. Originally placed with the Hellions squad, he traded places with [[Wither]] and joined the New Mutants. He is portrayed as a sullen, withered lover who keeps mostly to himself, but he always reminds his teammates how fortunate they are to be a "family" when they feud. His team seems to talk to him about their problems, as he isn't usually one to join the fights.

After the events of Decimation, Icarus was one of the few of the New Mutants team who didn't lose their powers. However, someone cut off his wings and left him bleeding at the doorsteps of the mansion. [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]] has stated that his healing factor was not working to heal these injuries. It was later revealed by [[Beast (Henry McCoy)|Dr. McCoy]] that his healing powers came from his wings and without them this power won't work.

Jay was, seemingly, tricked by [[Stryker, William|William Stryker]]. Stryker told Jay if he gave his wings "back to god" his friends would be saved by Stryker. He called Stryker to inform him the children were leaving on a bus, which led to the bombing of the bus carrying the de-powered students, and the assassination of [[Wallflower]], as she was the one in [[Nimrod (Sentinel)|Nimrod's]] vision of the future that killed the [[Purifiers]]. As [[X-23]] put it to [[Dust]] after he gave her a piece of paper containing the address of Stryker's church, he shouldn't be trusted because "he smells like death". Choosing not to trust Jay, X-23 went to the church disguised as Dust, only to be gunned down upon entering. After this, Stryker confessed he was responsible for the death of Julia Cabot before he shot Jay, killing him.

Once Vaccarro enrolled at the Xavier Institute, he became a friend of Julian Keller, who went on to lead the Hellions. When his fellow student Kevin Ford, a.k.a. [[Wither]], was apprehended by the F.B.I., Vaccarro was among the group of students who intended to forcefully oppose Ford's arrest. Although Vaccarro declined to commit criminal actions in a later incident, he is expected to offer resistance to authorities in the case of restrictive measures against mutants. In this reality, Santo was once again a champion in superhuman wrestler. After the effects of [[House of M|"M-Day"]], he was one of the few students who didn't lose their powers. The depowered students and staff were sent home; however their bus was bombed by anti-mutant religious zealot [[Stryker, William|Reverend William Stryker]], and Santo's former teammate and friend [[Tag]] was among those killed. The X-Men held a funeral for those students whose parents would not accept them, and Santo reflected upon how he had "failed" by not being able to save those killed.

All of the remaining students were placed by Emma Frost into an all-out brawl, and the ones deemed to be the best were to be assigned to become a group of in-training X-Men. Santo was among those students who made the grade. When the New X-men decided to destroy Nimrod once and for all Rockslide was obliterated in the battle. Hellion,used his telekinetic powers to piece him back together only larger and more rugged than his previous form.He sucessfully aided in defeating nimrod sending him back in time, Rockslide was later seen talking to [[Match]] and [[Anole]] about their abilities and how useful or unuseful they would be if they joined the New X-men team.

bio_text= Tandy Bowen was a sixteen-year-old who was neglected by her mother and felt distanced from her new stepfather. She ran away from home and came to New York City. Once she was in New York she met [[Cloak|Tyrone Johnson]], a fellow runaway. Johnson had planned to steal her purse, but when he saw another thief beat him to it, he tackled the thief and returned Tandy's purse to her. This began their long partnership as the two came to rely on each other to get along on their own. Tandy and Tyrone were offered shelter by henchmen of [[Maggia]] crime lord Simon Marshall. Marshall"s hospitality was only a front for testing a new synthetic narcotic. The two teenagers escaped, but not before they were injected with Marshall"s drug, which awakened latent mutant abilities in both of them (a process secretly encouraged by the demon [[D'spayre]] who had hoped to feed upon their angst). Tyrone found himself compelled to drain the life-force of others by enveloping them in the darkness of his cloak. Tandy, on the other hand, gained the ability to project light in the form of energy daggers, which she used to subdue Tyrone's darkness. The two decided use their powers to protect the streets from men like Marshall, and became known as Cloak and Dagger.

[[image:dagger01.jpg|left|thumb|180px]]
The two vigilantes have specialized in combating drug-dealers and helping runaway children. For all the work that Cloak and Dagger have done to help reform addicts and topple dealers, they realize that drug abuse is an evil greater than they can ever hope to conquer. The duo have often teamed with [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]]. Unlike Cloak, Dagger enjoys adventuring and has often run into trouble without him. She has even served as a member of [[New Warriors|the New Warriors]] and as a part of [[Marvel Knights|Daredevil's Unnamed Super-Hero Team]]. Because of Cloak's anti-social behavior, Dagger has often been his only link to humanity. Dagger has protected Cloak from being manipulated by various enemies including the Darkling, [[Nightmare]], and [[Mister Jip]]. A short time ago Cloak and Dagger were manipulated by [[Pride|the Pride]] into tracking down their six runaway children. The heroes found [[Runaways|the Runaways]] and learned the truth about the Pride. Promising to help the children, the Pride found them instead and wiped their memories of the whole event.

Recently Dagger was attacked and kidnapped by a 'stalker' who managed to copy Cloak's powers causing all of their hero allies to believe that Cloak had attacked Dagger. Cloak sought out the assistance of the Runaways who helped Cloak rescue Dagger and fight off her stalker.

| powers = Cloak's body is a portal to the "Darkforce Dimension," a world of strange ebony energy. Cloak is linked to a pocket realm of that dimension dominated by the Predator, which compels Cloak to absorb the life forces of other beings; but Dagger's light can temporarily satisfy this craving.

Cloak can channel [[Glossary:D#Darkforce|Darkforce]] to create a field of darkness in his general vicinity, usually using his cloak as a focal point to manipulate this darkness, though it can spread well beyond the confines of his cloak. People enveloped by Cloak's darkness feel numbing cold and crippling fear, sometimes seeing disturbing visions. Overlong exposure to the darkness can drive people insane. [[Dagger]]'s light renders her largely immune to Cloak's darkness, and she can extend her light to protect others within Cloak's darkness if need be. Unprotected victims trapped in Cloak's dark realm are gradually drained of their life force, and presumably die unless Cloak releases them.

Cloak can "teleport" by entering the Darkforce dimension, moving a short distance within it and emerging back on Earth a great distance from his point of origin. A span of miles on Earth can be traversed in only a few steps via shortcuts through the Darkforce. Cloak can "teleport" other persons or objects along with himself in this fashion, too, a feat usually reserved for Dagger since most beings cannot safely traverse the Darkforce.

As Cloak, Tyrone is usually intangible, though he can solidify through an act of will, or by absorbing enough "light" to saturate his form temporarily. On the rare occasions when he resumes human form, he usually reverts to his old stutter, which vanishes when he becomes Cloak. Tyrone also seems to be physically stronger as Cloak. Tyrone's link to the Darkforce has been severed on several occasions, but he seems drawn to the darkness and vice versa, and he always regains his Cloak form eventually.

{{bio|
bio_text= Raised in a poor South Boston neighborhood, Tyrone Johnson was a good student despite his chronic stutter, a disability he struggled to master with the support of his best friend, Billy. When Tyrone was 17, he and Billy witnessed the robbery of a local store and the fatal shooting of its clerk. The thieves fled, and Billy ran as well, fearing that he and Tyrone might be wrongly suspected of the crime. When a policeman ordered Billy to stop, Tyrone tried to proclaim Billy's innocence; but his stuttering made it impossible to speak clearly, and the officer shot Billy dead. Feeling responsible for Billy's death and afraid of the police, Johnson ran away to New York City.

Arriving at Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal, a penniless Tyrone considered robbing [[Dagger|Tandy Bowen]], a rich girl who had also run away from home; yet when someone else robbed her first, Tyrone impulsively tackled the thief and returned Tandy's purse. The two teens became fast friends. When the naïve Tandy accepted an offer of shelter from some strange men, a wary Tyrone went along to protect her; however, the two teens were soon forcibly delivered to criminal chemist [[Marshall, Simon|Simon Marshall]].

Marshall was developing a new synthetic heroin for the [[Maggia]], testing it on runaway teens with fatal results. Johnson and Bowen somehow survived injections of the drug, and they fled. During their escape, Tyrone found himself engulfed in darkness and seized by a strange hunger which eased in the presence of Tandy, who was glowing with a brilliant light. Trying to hide his newly shadowy appearance in a makeshift cloak, Tyrone began absorbing Marshall's thugs into his darkness while Tandy struck them down with daggers of light. The two teens dubbed themselves Cloak & Dagger and declared war on drug crime.
[[image:cloak01.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Cloak & Dagger started out as merciless vigilantes, killing Marshall despite the interference of [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]], who saw the duo as misguided innocents and gradually became their friend. After ill-fated assassination attempts on the crimelords [[Silvermane]] and [[Kingpin]], Dagger became less ruthless and tried to steer Cloak in a similar direction; however, since his power compelled him to consume living beings, Cloak found it more difficult to follow this gentler path, even though Dagger's light could satisfy his hunger temporarily.

Cloak & Dagger befriended the super-powered preteens [[Power Pack]] and twice aided the [[New Mutants]], junior trainees of the [[X-Men]]. The duo eventually learned they were mutants themselves, and that Marshall's drug had awakened their latent powers. Though they tend to target ordinary street criminals, they have faced such diverse foes as [[Doctor Doom (Victor von Doom)|Doctor Doom]], the [[Maker|Beyonder]], [[Vermin]], the [[Zapper]], the [[Disciplinarian]], the [[Warlord of Kampuchea]], [[Set]], [[Mephisto]], [[Thanos]], the [[Assembly of Evil]], [[Firebrand]], and [[Lightmaster]].

Cloak & Dagger found sanctuary at the Holy Ghost Church with the sympathetic Father Francis Delgado; but over time, Delgado became romantically obsessed with Tandy. Regarding Cloak as a demonic influence, Delgado tried and failed to split up the duo, going mad in the process. After Delgado was institutionalized, Cloak & Dagger found a new mentor in Tandy's uncle, Father Michael Bowen. Tandy's father, meanwhile, had become a cult leader as the Lord of Light in India. A "light vampire" who fed on others' life force, he clashed with Cloak and Dagger until he realized what he had become and tried to atone by hurling himself into Cloak's ebony abyss.

Police detective Brigid O'Reilly regarded the duo as a menace until they helped her capture serial poisoner Duane Hellman and told her of their origins. Later, when O'Reilly was betrayed and left for dead by corrupt cops, Cloak & Dagger used their powers to save her life, but the experience mutated Brigid's body and warped her mind. She became the vicious superhuman vigilante [[Mayhem]], often fighting crime alongside Cloak & Dagger. O'Reilly's former partner, police detective Rebecca "Rusty" Nales, would become an ally to Cloak & Dagger as well.

Cloak continued to struggle with his power, and with the hungry [[Predator]] within his darkness. During a period when Cloak swore off consuming living beings, the Predator released the spirit of legendary killer Jack the Ripper to torment Cloak; however, when Jack betrayed the Predator in search of personal power, Cloak absorbed the madman and the Predator consumed Jack again. The drug-dealing crime boss [[Ecstasy (Renee Deladier)]] twice stole Cloak's powers for herself, largely because the Predator preferred the more ruthless Deladier as a host body. Cloak regained his powers both times, thanks in part to [[Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange)|Doctor Strange]]. When the dream-demon [[Nightmare]] targeted Cloak, Tyrone prevailed with the aid of Dr. Strange and Dagger, who even managed to nullify Cloak's darkness altogether for a time; however, Tyrone feared that Dagger could only relate to him as Cloak, and he was soon manipulated into reclaiming his dark powers by the malevolent mystic [[Mister Jip]]. Tyrone's willing resumption of his Cloak form estranged Dagger, who briefly worked with the [[Black Cat]] before going back to Cloak, who had tried and failed to find a new partner in [[Dazzler (Alison Blaire)|Dazzler]]. By this time, Jip was trying to usurp Cloak's body with the aid of his agents, [[Night]] and [[Day]]. Dagger defeated them all with the aid of the Predator, and the partners were reunited. Jip would continue to hound them, striking Dagger blind for a time, using the mad Delgado as a pawn, temporarily corrupting Dagger through the power of Night, and killing both Delgado and Father Bowen by mystically usurping their bodies. Cloak and Dagger would thwart Jip's plots again and again.
[[image:dagger01.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Though Cloak & Dagger once rescued homeless youth Anna Johnson from cultists, only Anna herself was aware of the fact that she is Tyrone's long-lost sister. Tandy did stay in touch with her stepfather Philip, who persisted in offering Tandy moral and financial support. He even moved to New York City to be near her, caring for her during her temporary blindness, and the two gradually developed a real father-daughter relationship. Sadly, he was killed by an overdose of the designer drug [[D'Lite]], a creation of the demonic [[D'spayre|D'Spayre]], who feeds on human misery. D'Spayre revealed that he had helped create Cloak & Dagger, whose powers would have been quite different had they developed normally. Apparently, their powers would have activated naturally through contact between Tandy and Tyrone; but D'Spayre inhibited this reaction, allowing Marshall's drug to trigger their powers instead. D'Spayre also secretly placed two aspects of his own power--one light, one dark--within the teens, reshaping their mutant powers. These dark and light forms were meant to act as storage batteries for D'Spayre, accumulating pain and suffering he could tap for future use. He had selected Tyrone and Tandy as host bodies since he thought mutants were especially prone to suffering. When D'Spayre tried to reclaim the light and dark forms for himself, Cloak & Dagger resisted, and D'Spayre was seemingly destroyed. In the process, Cloak's and Dagger's powers were altered, though their original abilities reasserted themselves over time.

Cloak & Dagger are devoted to each other, but the lonely Dagger often wants more from life. While on an international case, Tandy performed with Eurocirque as Lady Light and shared a romance with supposed FBI agent Bill Clayton, who was exposed as a criminal but ultimately sacrificed himself to save Cloak & Dagger. Tandy found new friends in the New Warriors, who teamed with Cloak, Dagger and other heroes to defeat the shadow-lunatic Darkling.

Cloak and Dagger teamed with Spider-Man and others to halt a murderous super-villain rampage led by metahuman serial killer [[Carnage (Cletus Kasady)|Carnage]]. Dagger was supposedly killed by Carnage's "wife" Shriek while saving an injured Spider-Man, but was later revealed to be severely wounded and recuperating within Cloak's shroud, and was the key instrument in breaking up the Carnage "family" and ending the "Maximum Carnage."

Later, Dagger helped rescue the [[New Warriors]] from the supremely powerful Sphinx. She accepted an offer of New Warriors membership, though Cloak declined to join. Serving as a Warriors reservist, Dagger also undertook a single mission with the informal [[Secret Defenders]] group.

Bloodthirsty fellow vigilante the [[Punisher (Frank Castle)|Punisher]] has been both an ally and an enemy to Cloak & Dagger over the years. When Cloak went missing recently, Dagger helped form the unofficial "[[Marvel Knights]]" alliance with the Punisher and other vigilantes, and joined most of the other Knights in hunting the rogue Punisher after he left. Meanwhile, a Nightmare-manipulated Cloak embarked on a mad quest to consume all lawbreakers, absorbing the Punisher and many others until Dagger teamed with Dr. Strange to purge Cloak's corrupting darkness and rescue his victims. In the process, Cloak reverted to his human form as Tyrone Johnson, though this condition would prove temporary. Shortly thereafter, the Marvel Knights disbanded.

More recently, the secret criminal group known as the Pride tricked Cloak & Dagger into trying to retrieve their super-powered children. An encounter with these young Runaways soon convinced Cloak & Dagger of the Pride's true nature, but before they could act on this knowledge, the villains erased the duo's memories of the Pride. Cloak & Dagger continue to roam the mean streets, bringing the light of hope to the innocent and dark justice to the guilty.

{{bio|
bio_text= The albino [[Mutants|mutant]] known only as Caliban was recruited by [[Callisto]], who had learned of his mutant-tracking ability and used him to locate other mutants whom she organized into the community that came to be called the [[Morlocks]]. Caliban was named by Callisto after the grotesque being in William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.” Living in the sewers and abandoned subway tunnels beneath Manhattan’s streets, the naïve Caliban found a renewed sense of family, but still felt lonely even among his fellow outcasts. One evening, Caliban sensed the presence of mutants in a New York City nightclub and entered to find the [[Dazzler (Alison Blaire)]] performing. His presence created panic which [[X-Men]] members [[Storm]] and [[Shadowcat|Kitty Pryde]] attempted to quell alongside [[Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)]], but during the chaos Caliban kidnapped Pryde and fled. Intercepted by the heroes, Caliban explained that he only wanted a friend like himself. Invited to join the X-Men, Caliban chose instead to return to the Morlocks. [[Image:CalibanMorlock.jpg|thumb|150px|Caliban as Morlock|left]]

When Callisto captured the X-Man [[Archangel|Angel]] and brought the Morlocks into conflict with the X-Men, Pryde was infected by the Morlock named [[Plague]] and found by Caliban. Caring for her, Caliban realized he could not cure her and panicked over what to do. Pryde promised to remain with him forever if he helped her and the X-Men. Unsure of what to do sought, Caliban decided to seek help from Callisto; however, Callisto refused to allow the X-Men to leave, and only after she was defeated by Storm in ritual combat were the X-Men free to go. Storm offered the Morlocks a home and sanctuary with the X-Men, but Caliban, speaking for the group, declined the offer. When Pryde failed to make good on her promise, Callisto ordered her capture and attempted to force her to marry Caliban. However, Caliban realized Pryde did not truly love him and released her from her promise. When the sorcerer [[Kulan Gath]]’s warped of reality in Manhattan, transforming it to resemble his native era (circa 10, 000 B.C.), Caliban was merged with the X-Men’s founder [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]] and forced to serve as Kulan Gath’s familiar.

Soon after, the Morlocks came under attack from the [[Marauders (mutants)|Marauders]], who began slaughtering the community. Injured in the massacre, Caliban was saved by his fellow Morlock [[Leech]], and together the pair were rescued from the Marauders by the combined forces of [[Power Pack]] and the original [[X-Factor]]. Caliban subsequently took up residence at X-Factor’s headquarters, briefly leaving to accompany the surviving Morlocks back underground before returning to join X-Factor in opposing the anti-mutant organization the [[Right]]. After a battle against the [[Horsemen of Apocalypse]], Caliban became increasingly frustrated with his passive power’s inability to grant him the revenge he sought. When X-Factor subsequently encountered [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)|Apocalypse]], Caliban swore to serve him as his Hellhound in exchange for power enough to exact revenge. Apocalypse genetically altered Caliban to increase his size and strength. After Caliban proved his worth against the likes of Archangel, [[Sabretooth]], and [[Cable]]’s [[New Mutants]], Apocalypse granted Caliban a place in his Horsemen as Death. With the Horsemen, Caliban opposed the X-Men but was defeated, unaware that the Apocalypse he and his fellow Horsemen served proved to be [[Mister Sinister]] in disguise.

[[image:caliban01.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Separated from the influence of Apocalypse, Caliban’s intelligence began diminishing. He kidnapped the young X-Man [[Jubilee]], holding her hostage in exchange for Sabretooth, who was being rehabilitated by Xavier. Pryde, now Shadowcat, accompanied Sabretooth into the Morlock tunnels. There, she was left to die by the villain after they encountered a giant subterranean squid. After rescuing Pryde, Caliban faced Sabretooth in a brief yet ferocious fight, which resulted in his face being scarred and he fled. Later, Caliban was hunted by the [[Dark Riders]], Apocalypse’s replacements for the Horsemen. Saved by Cable, [[Domino (Neena Thurman)|Domino]], and Storm, Caliban helped them to track the Riders back to their base in Egypt and confront their new leader, [[Genesis]]. As his intelligence continued to degrade and he began reverting to his original, non-violent personality, Caliban was recruited by Cable into [[X-Force]]. With that team, Caliban faced opponents such as the [[Mimic (Calvin Rankin)|Mimic]], [[Barrachus]] the [[Kalinator]], Sabretooth, [[Holocaust]], the [[Externals]], S.H.I.E.L.D., Mr. Sinister, an other-worldly foursome, the alien android Pulse, Mojo, and even [[Asgard|Asgardian]] rock trolls and goblins. For a brief time, Caliban and X-Force fell under the control of [[Shaw, Sebastian|Sebastian Shaw]], Black King of the [[Hellfire Club]], and were mentally coerced into attacking Cable himself.

[[Image:Caliban_pestilence.jpg|thumb|Caliban as Horseman Pestilence|right]]
Caliban eventually began to suffer crippling seizures that seemingly had no cause. After aiding Cable against an assault on the Xavier Institute by [[Bastion]]’s [[Operation: Zero Tolerance]] forces, Caliban was taken by [[Ozymandias]], the immortal indentured servant of Apocalypse, who revealed that the seizures were a result of Caliban’s past alteration. Returned to Apocalypse, Caliban was reshaped into the Horseman Pestilence. At Apocalypse’s behest, Caliban successfully captured both Cable and his alternate reality (Earth-295) counterpart [[X-Man|Nate Grey]]. Caliban and the Horsemen were defeated during battle with X-Men when they were teleported away by [[Rasputin, Mikhail|Mikhail Rasputin]]. Subsequently, Caliban tracked down [[Cyclops (Scott Summers)|Cyclops]], who had merged with Apocalypse and who was struggling to keep the eternal mutant’s essence in check. Apocalypse’s psyche became dominant, and released Caliban from his service. By that time, Caliban had once more begun reverting to his original naïve self, and his intelligence faded until he possessed only a simple animal-like mind.

Caliban was subsequently captured by the anti-mutant research facility the Watchtower, which sought to train him as a means to ferret out the mutant-devouring [[Skornn]]. Caliban was liberated by the combined efforts of Cable, X-Force, [[Wolverine (James Howlett)|Wolverine]], [[Deadpool]], and the [[Mutant Liberation Front]], and he subsequently rejoined X-Force to help oppose the Skornn. After the advent of "[[House of M|M-Day]]", Caliban was one of the few mutants who regained his powers. Since then, he has joined the mutant refugee camp that have come to be known as the [[198]]. During the [[Civil War]], Caliban helped to organize the assault in the X-Mansion, with his teammates of the X-Force(Domino and Shatterstar), to free the 198 from the grounds.

Caliban was killed in the first mission of the current X-Force team and later revived, only to be sacrificed to [[Selene]].

bio_text= Ellie Phimister was a teenage student in [[Frost%2C_Emma|Emma Frost]]'s telepathy class in [[Genosha|Genosha]].

During a tutoring session, Ellie informed Emma Frost of the same nightmares she had 50 times the previous night when everyone in Genosha died. Instantly after she reported this to Miss Frost, [[Nova%2C_Cassandra|Cassandra Nova]]'s Sentinels appeared and wiped out all of Genosha.
Emma Frost, who survived the attack thanks to her secondary mutation, carried Ellie's dead body and said that she will be a credit to her family and the mutant race. Emma then ordered members of the rescue team to bring the girl back to life, but they stated that she had been dead for hours.

Recently, Ellie Phimister appeared to be alive and part of the [[Hellfire_Club|Hellfire Club]]'s new Inner Circle. However, it was revealed that the new Inner Circle was only projections from Emma Frost's mind due to extreme survivor's guilt. Recently, the true Ellie was revived with an alien techno organic virus, only to be sacrificed to [[Selene]].

bio_text= An exceptionally strong and vigorous athlete in his youth, John Proudstar’s [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutant]] abilities first manifested when he wrestled a charging bison to save a young girl. Proudstar became dissatisfied with the seemingly complacent lives led by his tribespeople on the Apache Indian reservation in Camp Verde, Arizona, and he sought to prove he was a warrior in the tradition of his ancestors.

Eventually, Proudstar lied about his age to join the United States Marines. Attaining the rank of corporal, he earned a number of medals, including one for rescuing the pilot of a helicopter downed by a thunderstorm during which he witnessed what he believed to be a great bird of lightning in the sky.

After his tour of duty was completed, Proudstar returned to the reservation and was soon approached by ex-newspaper reporter [[Whitecloud, Michael|Michael Whitecloud]] for help in investigating a series of mysterious cancer diagnoses, including Proudstar’s mother. The pair uncovered illegal experiments performed by Doctor [[Martynec, Edwin|Edwin Martynec]], himself a mutant who could transform into a hybrid coyote creature. Proudstar battled Martynec before he escaped after setting off an explosion that destroyed his laboratory.

Later, [[Professor X|Professor Charles Xavier]], founder of the team of superhuman mutant adventurers known as the [[X-Men]], recruited Proudstar as a member of the second generation of X-Men, giving him the codename Thunderbird. Soon after, the new X-Men opposed [[Count Nefaria]], who had taken over the North American Air Defense (NORAD) command center in Cheyenne Mountain in an international extortion scheme. Defeated by the X-Men, Nefaria attempted to escape in a small aircraft, but Thunderbird jumped onto the plane as it took off. Defying Xavier’s [[Glossary:T#telepathic|telepathic]] warnings to get off the plane, Thunderbird sought to prove he was a true Apache warrior and, using his superhuman strength, pummeled the aircraft until it exploded, killing him instantly.

Later, just prior to Thunderbird’s funeral, his younger brother [[Warpath|James]] stole his body and gave him a traditional Apache warrior’s funeral rite.

Recently, John was revived by [[Eli Bard]] to [[Selene]]. After fighting with his brother, he died again, and his spirit was freed after the death of Selene.

{{bio|
bio_text= The long-standing Black Queen of the [[Hellfire Club]]'s Inner Circle, Selene Gallio professes to have lived for several millennia, and to have been a foe of the ancient sorcerer, Kulan Gath. In past ages, she was renowned as a sorceress whose power was feared and respected by other magic users. She eventually came to live in the ancient Roman Republic. At some point, Selene established herself as the Goddess of the Moon of Arthurian legend. Perceived by various sources as being a powerful sorceress, Selene is actually one of the long-lived mutants known as the [[Externals]], possibly the oldest. Over the millennia, her worshippers grew into a world-wide cult.

In her efforts to obtain power, Selene was responsible for the establishment of the hidden Amazonian city [[Nova Roma]]. These supposedly Roman citizens were said to have fled the first century B.C. Italy and lived there for roughly two thousand years, and was supposedly where Selene first founded her Cult of Fire as its Black Priestess. (However, it has been since revealed that Nova Roma was a massive illusion maintained by Selene and her minion, the mutant known as [[Empath]], to hold its citizens, really, kidnapped British and American tourists, captive.) Prior to this revelation, however, Selene posed as the wife to Nova Roma Senator Marcus Domitius Gallo, whose plot to abolish the republican Nova Roman government led to her to first encounter students of [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]] in the form of the [[New Mutants]].

Selene soon after traveled to New York, where members of her world-wide cult had a church. The leader of the cult, Friedrich von Roehm, was also a member of the [[Hellfire Club]]. With Von Roehm's help, Selene entered the Inner Circle of the Club and rapidly rose to the high rank of Black Queen. As the Black Queen, Selene had tried numerous attempts to overthrow her current leader, the Black King [[Shaw, Sebastian|Sebastian Shaw]]. One such attempt brought Jean Grey (in reality, the [[Phoenix Force]],) into the Inner Circle, which led to the intervention of the [[X-Men]] in the Club's plots.

At one point, she helped formed the [[Upstarts]], a group of hedonistic young mutants who played a game when killing off other mutants. Although she never directly participated in the Upstarts’ plots, she enjoyed the benefits of their decimating the ranks of the Inner Circle. Later, for reasons of her own, Selene took it upon herself to begin killing the remaining members of the Externals, absorbing their life forces. Despite the efforts of [[X-Force]], Selene escaped.

In a recent plot against the Hellfire Club, Selene usurped the Black King`s position and replaced him with her demonic ally, [[Blackheart]]. Her plan was foiled by the combined efforts of the [[Fantastic Four]] and the [[Shadow Hunters]].

She then blackmailed [[Sunspot]] into joining the Hellfire Club by claiming that the Damocles Foundation, formerly run by the Externals’ Gideon, was seeking to begin a new experiment similar to the process that created Sunspot’s “evil twin,” [[Reignfire]]. The two raced to stop it, and they were joined by X-Force. However, Selene wanted the process for herself, and she subdued Sunspot and X-Force. She then offered to resurrect the spirit of Juliana, Sunspot’s first love, in exchange for his agreement to become a member of her new Hellfire Club, and Sunspot agreed.

As always, Selene remains extremely ambitious and deceitful, and should always be approached with caution.

Recently, Selene, with the help of [[Eli Bard]], resurrected many deceased mutants, with the purpose of using them to become a goddess. She absorbed many souls, finally becoming a goddess, however, was killed by X-Force.

bio_text= When his genetic [[Glossary:M#mutant|mutation]] manifested, Kevin Ford accidentally killed his father with his lethal and uncontrollable touch. Subsequently recruited as a student at the [[Xavier Institute For Higher Learning|Xavier Institute]], Ford found companionship in a student training squad called the Hellions, instructed by co-headmaster [[Frost, Emma|Emma Frost]]. Ford was later arrested and charged with his father's death, but the incident was deemed accidental by a criminal court in Atlanta, Georgia. Nonetheless, Ford would likely have fled before his trial had an attempted breakout by several of his fellow students been successful. An outcast even among his mutant peers, Ford is to be considered an extreme security risk. He met and developed a crush on [[Wallflower|Laurie Collins]]. However, when he decayed the skin off the [[Glossary:C#cyborg|cyborg]] [[Pierce, Donald|Donald Pierce]], [[Moonstar|Dani Moonstar]] was forced to stop him by showing him his worst fear - killing Laurie. In the aftermath of this, and realising that using his power "felt right", he left the Institute.

Some months later, Dani, with the help of Emma Frost set out to bring him back to the school, to fill the sixth place on the formalised New Mutants squad, mentored by Dani. While Kevin was still angry at Dani, Emma managed to persuade him to return, and he joined the New Mutants squad under the codename Wither. Clashing with [[Elixir]], the current object of Laurie's affections who he'd last seen as one of Pierce's [[Reavers]], [[Mercury (Cessily Kincaid)|Mercury]], the only person he could touch without killing, reached out to him, having developed a crush on him. Shortly after he returned to the school he was arrested by the FBI for killing his father. While the Hellions tried to "rescue" him (Mercury coming in through a window to let him know), the New Mutants tried to stop them - fearing the consequences of involving the Institute in a fight with the FBI - until the [[X-Men]] arrived and ended the fight, taking them all back to the Institute before they were discovered. This was the final straw, however, and he swapped squads with [[Icarus (Jay Guthrie)|Icarus]] to become a Hellion.Recently, he discovered Elixir's former relationship with [[Wolfsbane]] and released it to the school, successfully ending Josh's relationship with Laurie.
During [[House of M|M-Day]], when most of the world's mutants lost their powers, Kevin mistakenly thought he had lost his powers also. He touched Laurie's hand making it withered and after feeling more guilty and depressed he ran away from the Institute.

Recently, Wither joined [[Selene]]'s Inner Circle and died fighting Elixir.

| citizenship = U.S.A. (presumed)
| education = Unrevealed
| aliases = Possibly Daap
| relatives = None
| height = Variable, usually around 3’
| weight = Variable
| eyes = Fuchsia
| hair = Black (sparse)
| powers = Doop's body contained a nightmare dimension called Doop Land, which he could access by turning himself inside-out. He had roughly Class 100 strength  and an untested level of energy projection, which included the ability to fire energy blasts from his brain and the power to emit a short-range energy pulse that prevented psychic intrusion. Doop’s body contained a backup brain, which could sustain him for a short period of time in the absence of his primary brain. Having no legs, Doop moved via levitation. He could inflate his body to unknown proportions. The full extent of Doop’s many powers is unknown.
| abilities = Doop usually spoke in his own unique yet easily comprehensible language, but was also fluent in at least English. He was an excellent cameraman.
| weapons = None
| paraphernalia = Video camera used to tape X-Statix missions
| debut = X-Force #116 (2001)
| origin = X-Statix #21 (2004)

bio_text= The product of a Cold War era U.S. military experiment, Doop was instrumental in the fall of the Soviet Union. Little is known of Doop’s whereabouts between that period and his recent job as cameraman for the media-savvy, profit-driven mutant superteam [[X-Force]], but at some point he befriended [[Wolverine]] and possibly became a priest. Doop's unique look and quirky personality made him arguably X-Force's most popular member, with Doop merchandise everywhere. One of the few X-Force members to survive the Boyz R Us massacre, Doop immediately took to the new team leader, [[Mister Sensitive]]. When former team manager the [[Coach (X-Statix)|Coach]] betrayed [[U-Go Girl]] and Mister Sensitive, Doop convinced Wolverine to intervene on their behalf. Curiously, Doop was unaffected by [[Lacuna]]’s time-altering powers when she sought membership. Accidentally sending his teammates into his own psychedelic nightmare dimension after popping a zit, Doop entered it himself to rescue them, although no one remembered these events. After following U-Go Girl’s death, Mister Sensitive rechristened their group from "X-Force" to "X-Statix" at the opening of the Doop Children’s Hospital.

During new membership tryouts, Doop discovered the applicant [[Corkscrew]] was suffering from [[Code-X]], which made him dangerously unstable, and later killed him. When many believed Mister Sensitive had become the villainous Bad Guy, Doop defended him. Sent by [[Spike Freeman]] to see if Wolverine had Code-X and to deal with him if he did, Doop was unaware Wolverine was sent on a similar mission by [[Charles Xavier]]. The duo briefly fought before teaming up to rescue the mythical [[Pink Lady]] from her captor [[Hunter Joe]], whose head was later mounted on Doop's wall. After photographs of [[El Guapo]]’s affairs leaked to the press, the furious teammate rightfully blamed Doop. During a dinner meeting, Doop viciously murdered an assassin sent to kill [[Henrietta Hunter]]. After Spike Freeman’s death, Doop was one of the team members sent to Russia to find a new financier for X-Statix. [[Image:Doop.jpg|left]] Kidnapped by Russian terrorists, Doop’s brain exploded during a scuffle between X-Statix and the [[Avengers]]. The two teams battled each other in an attempt to reassemble Doop’s brain, until only one piece remained. Animated by the temporary backup brain in his butt, Doop battled [[Thor]] for the final piece of his brain. Finally recognizing X-Statix as heroes, the Avengers handed over the brain. X-Statix later resolved to break up following one final mission, during which every member, Doop included, apparently died. Doop's popularity endures despite his seeming demise, as evidenced by sales of "Doop Lives" t-shirts.

It appears that Doop has recently returned to Earth from outer space, but it is unknown whether this creature, which [[Polaris]] identified as Daap, is a different being altogether or if Polaris simply misheard the complex series of clucks and barks that constitute the alien language as Daap instead of Doop. The truth may never be known.
