Other Info
Ruth Bat-Seraph was born near the city of Jersualem, Isael. When Ruth's genetic mutation manifested, she, along with her family, was taken to a special community by the Israeli government. Ruth was subsequently studied and eventually became was the first superhuman agent created to serve the Mossad (the Israeli Secret Service). Upon her graduation, Ruth received the experimental cape and gauntlets. (The wrist gauntlets fire plasma bursts and her cape fires paralyzing quills. The cape serves as an anti-gravity devices, enabling Sabra to fly through the air at speeds greater than 300 miles per hour.)

Taking the codename "Sabra," Ruth eventually requested a domestic assignment upon the birth of her son and became an officer in the Israeli Police, Tel-Aviv District. However, her son died when he was 6 years old due to a terrorist bombing on his school bus. Ruth remained on the civilian police until the arrival of the Hulk in Israel forced her to resume her activity as Sabra--she mistakenly believed Hulk was working with Arab terrorists operating in Israel. (To learn more about the Hulk, click on his highlighted name above.)

Years later, Sabra found herself caught up in the events of the anti-mutant campaign Operation: Zero Tolerance. It was at this time Sabra fought along side the X-Men and began to subscribe to the philosophies of Charles Xavier. Sabra even formerly became a member of the X-Corporation's Paris branch for a short while. (To learn about the above highlighted event, teams, and/or character, just click on their name.)

Shortly after enactment of the Super Human Registration Act was passed, Mossad loaned Sabra's services to the U.S. Office of National Emergency (O*N*E*) to assist with enforcing the law in exchange for the intelligence and surveillance technology that Israel would need for instituting its own registration program. Along with Great Britain's Micromax (Scott Wright), she was assigned to the O.N.E. coalition led by Bishop to find mutant refugees who had escaped the Xavier Institute. As someone who lost her child due to unnecessary violence, Sabra sided with Iron Man on the Pro-Registration side of the mutant Civil War (an uncommon role for a mutant). (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters, and/or event.)

Later on, after the events of M-Day, Sabra was one of the 198 mutants that retained their powers. (To learn about M-Day of the 198, just click on their names above. Note: Beware of the revealing and form-fitting outfits worn by some on the M-Day's bio page.)

At one point, Sabra was requested by the British Government to aid Union Jack and the Arabian Knight against terrorists attacks in London.  (Click on the characters' names above to learn more about them.)

Recently, when Doctor Octopus threatened the world's leaders that he would revert the Greenhouse Effect by using a giant web of satellites (which could be used also to speed up the warm-up), Spider-Man sent out an emergency call and several heroes from around the world responded including Sabra, Union Jack, Kangaroo, and the team, Big Hero 6. The heroes were sent to different locations throughout the globe to stop the missiles. In Israel, Sabra was about to ride one missile to stop it, but one of Doctor Octopus' assassins, Crossbones, shot and apparently killed her. (To learn about the characters and/or team above, just click on their highlighted names.)

More recently, it was revealed that Crossbones' shot was actually just a glancing hit and Sabra actually survived.

He can possess several bodies at one time. He is invisible to telepathic scans and most detection devices. Kevin can also shift between realities. Kevin's only known weaknesses are metal, and his need for fresh host bodies.

Abilities 
None

Other Info
Kevin MacTaggert is the son of mutant expert Moira MacTaggert, and politician Joe MacTaggert. The boy was a mutant with the ability to warp realities. These powers burn out his body, leaving him in need of new host bodies to sustain himself. Due to the unstable nature of his powers, Moira confined Kevin to a maximum security cell inside her mutant research facility located on Muir Island.  (To learn about the above highlighted character and/or place, just click on their names.)

During a battle between Magneto and the X-Men, the Muir Island's security was compromised and Kevin's cell was damaged. This caused what remained of his body to burn out and required him to look for a new host. When a man came to destroy Moira's laboratory, Kevin possessed him and hid until he could escape the island. However, he ended up battling the X-Men members Phoenix, Multiple Man, and Polaris. Although he defeated Polaris and the Multiple Man quite easily, the Phoenix nearly killed him. But, Kevin was able to escape the island in a duplicate body of Multiple Man and began a quest to find and possess his father's body.  (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit on Phoenix's bio page.)

Along the way Kevin encountered the X-Men, who were hot on his trail. Using only a fraction of his mutant powers, Proteus was able to easily defeat Storm, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler. As the continued his journey, he eventually made it to Edinburgh and took over his father's body. While possessing his fathers body, he battled the X-men (now calling himself Proteus). However, his powers soon burned out his fathers body, destroying it. However, before he could possess another body, Proteus was punched by Colossus who's metal body disrupted his psionic energies and effectively killed him, or so they thought. In reality, Proteus' energies were disrupted and scattered all over Scotland. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the extremely revealing outfits on Storm's bio page--block images if you can.)

Sometime later, a woman named Erika Benson (aka Harness) was hired by Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.) to use her son, Gilbert Benson (aka Piecemeal), to collect the energies of Proteus for their own use. Gilbert had the ability to absorb the energies that were once Proteus, and his mother intended to collect it all. However, her mission was almost thwarted by the New Mutants, New Warriors, as well as Moira MacTaggert and a number of her mutants from Muir Island. But, their intervention failed, and Gilbert's body exploded, resulting in a fusion entity of both Gilbert Benson and Kevin MacTaggert. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn more about the teams and/or character. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by some on the New Warrior's bio page.)

This new (merged) Proteus used his powers to reshape Edinburgh, Scotland to his own whim. The X-Factor was there to battle him, but the group of heroes questioned the ethics of killing Proteus or trying to help them. In the end, Proteus realized that reality was not compatible with him and he "killed" himself.  (Click on the highlighted name above to learn more about X-Factor.)

Later, during the events of M-Day, Proteus was resurrected. Now known as "Mutant X," he went on search for the perfect host body. He even began hopping from dimension to dimension searching for a body that would not burn out. All this time, the Exiles where close behind, trying to stop him. In the process of searching for the perfect host body, Proteus burned out (killed) many people, including Mimic. After killing Mimic, he possessed Morph. He learned that Morph could withstand his psionic energies indefinitely--he found his perfect host. It was at this point, Proteus began to formulate how to rule every dimension. Meanwhile, the Exiles devised a plan to subdue Proteus and attempt to bring back Morph. The Exiles were able to brainwash Proteus into thinking he was actually Morph, and for several missions they had him convinced that they defeated Proteus. The Exiles figured this was a good way to keep an eye on Proteus. However, eventually, Morph's real persona re-appeared and took control of his own body again. Closing Proteus in a small part of himself, but agreeing to "live together" inside him.  (Click on the highlighted names above to learn more about the characters and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits of some on the M-Day's bio page, and the very skin-tight outfits on the Exiles' bio page.)

Later on, when Selene resurrected Destiny, Proteus some how appeared inside her. Destiny tried to communicate with her foster-daughter Rogue, but some how she got Blindfold instead. Proteus quickly possessed Blindfold and tricked her into convincing a bunch of gathering X-Men (Rogue, Trance, Psylocke, Husk, Colossus, Magneto, and Nightcrawler) to go to Muir Island. There Proteus revealed himself to them and was able to defeat them quite easily. Proteus had gained a new ability where he could possess more than one person--he possessed Trance, Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Destiny, and Husk. While possessing the group, he forced them to fight Rogue and Magneto. However, a weakened Magneto used the last bit of his strength to launch himself and Proteus into the upper atmosphere. Magneto determined that he could affect Proteus' energies, disrupted them, and made Proteus disappear. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit on Husk's bio page.)

More recently, Magneto confirmed that Proteus is most likely not dead, but that his energies are merely dispersed, saying that he will be able to reintegrate himself one day. But, Magneto hopes that he spread Proteus thin enough to prevent, or at least postpone, his return for a long period of time.

Abilities

Other Info
When Kyle Gibney's mutant powers began to emerge at an early age, he was left with a freakish appearance. Horrified, his parents kicked him out of his home and Kyle was left to wandering the streets. Eventually, Kyle was found by the subversive organization, the Secret Empire. Gibney was experimented upon in their attempts to create a perfect killing machine. As a part of the experiment, Gibney was injected with DNA from the assassin Wyre, which left Gibney near-mindless, animalistic, and uncontrollable. (To learn about the above highlighted team and/or character, just click on their names.)

Later on, Wyre rebelled and destroyed the Secret Empire's headquarters. When this happened, Gibney was found by agents of the Canadian government and given over to Department H--then headed by James Hudson (aka Guardian) as a sanctioned program for developing Canada's superhero teams. Hudson placed Gibney in the entry-level Gamma Flight with the code-name "Wild Child." (Like all recruits, those who developed their powers sufficiently would be placed in the premiere team, Alpha Flight.) During his training, Wild Child was mentored by Wolverine--until he left to join the X-Men.  (To learn about the above highlighted teams and/or character, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the very skin-tight outfits worn by some on the Alpha Flight's bio page. Also, Wild Child in one of his first outfits is shown as the first picture posted above.)

However, later on, the Canadian government disbanded the Department H program and, by extension, its hero teams. It is unknown as to what happened with Wild Child until he was recruited by Delphine Courtney and Jerry Jaxon recruited him for Omega Flight. Jaxon hoped to destroy the Guardian and his Alpha Flight (which had reassembled as a private team); however, Omega Flight was captured by Alpha Flight first and they were imprisoned. Wild Child managed to break out only once, and in his rampage, began killing indiscriminately--he nearly killed Heather Hudson. Eventually, it took Wolverine to hunt down and capture him again. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters.)

During a period of time where the Alpha Flight was believed dead, the Canadian government decided to reinstate a fully-sanctioned hero team under the name "Gamma Flight." Gibney was recruited for the team and pardoned for his previous activities. When Alpha Flight reappeared, the two teams clashed. Ultimately, Alpha Flight rejected the government's support and decided to operate independently once more, where Gamma Flight decided to continue as the government-sponsored team. However, the two teams eventually met again to fight the evil Llan the Sorcerer. Gamma Flight was nearly destroyed in the final battle, but Llan was ulimately defeated. Afterward, the two teams combined into one, with Alpha Flight again reinstated as Canada's official superhero group. (To learn more about Llan the Sorcerer, click  on the highlighted name above. Also, Wild Child in his Alpha Flight uniform is shown in the third picture posted above. He wore a facemask to hide his true identify from the media.)

After some time, Gibney seemed to be cured of his animalistic rages and now possessed a handsome appearance. To further disassociate from his past, Kyle took a new code-name, "Wildheart." During this time, Gibney and his teammate Aurora fell in love and began a relationship. However, Gibney slowly began to mutate back to his beastly appearance. Since he could not stand to be seen that way by his lover, he left, unaware that his sudden departure would cause Aurora's fragile psyche to deteriorate even further.  (To learn about Aurora, click on the highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the revealing and form-fitting outfit on Aurora's bio page.)

Now calling himself "Wild Child" once more, Gibney accepted an offer to join the United States-sanctioned mutant team, X-Factor. This caused a bit of friction between Wild Child and X-Factor's associate, Sabretooth (who was forced by the government into service). Eventually, however, Gibney's body began mutating even further, and he quit the team to explore his new mutations and to find his true self. (To learn about the team and/or character above, just click on their highlighted names. Also, Wild Child in his most mutated form during X-Factor is shown as the fouth picture posted above.)

It is unknown how, but Wild Child is next seen in custody of the new Weapon X program, under the auspices of the mysterious Director--who hoped to use the program's mutants for the benefit of humankind, even if that meant performing deadly missions and interning mutant captives. The program’s scientist experimented on Gibney, who became more intelligent but more feral-looking. The Director found that Gibney had been twisted so many times that he no longer held an identity of his own, needing only minimal suggestions via conventional methods to follow orders like a machine or an animal. One of Wild Child's initial assignments was to recruit mutants for the Weapon X program. On one particular mission, to recruit Sunfire, Wild Child's teammate Sabretooth became annoyed with him, lashing out and severing Gibney's vocal cords, rendering him mute. Another assignment was to recruit Wild Child's one-time lover, Aurora. (In fact, this assignment was one of the reasons the Director of the program wanted Gibney in the first place.) Wild Child successfully freed Aurora from the mental asylum she was assigned; however, after Aurora was believed cured of her mental condition, she rejected Gibney due to his new freakish appearance. (To learn about the team and/or characters, just click on their highlighted names above.)

After seeing Aurora becoming increasingly romantic with the Director, Wild Child was easily persuaded to join Agent Brent Jackson who was forming a team known as the Underground, led by Cable, who was planning to take down the Weapon X program. Eventually, the Underground infiltrated the Weapon X complex, ousting the Director and nearly crippling the program. However, just before the final defeat, Agent Jackson betrayed the Underground, turning Cable's psychic powers against his allies. Jackson captured the Underground members and altered their memories to erase everything they saw and learned about the program. Jackson took credit for saving the program and was named the new Director of Weapon X. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn more about the characters and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by one on Cable's bio page.)

After reality was twisted by the Scarlet Witch, on what is called "M-Day," many of Earth’s mutants were stripped of their powers. Wild Child was believed to have been among these, as his mutant energy signature was recognized as having been absorbed by the Collective. However, Wild Child reappeared not only with his powers, but with a noticeable enhancement to them. His appearance also reverted more to resemble his original form, only he had numerous piercings in his ears, eyebrows, and face. He claimed to be working for the mysterious figure named Romulus. And it appeared that his one goal is to destroy Wolverine. (To learn about the above highlighted characters and/or event, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits on Scarlet Witch and M-Day's bio pages. Also, Wild Child in the most recent mutation is shown in the fifth picture posted above.)

More recently, under Romulus' order, Wild Child attempted to kill Wolverine. His plan was to drop Wolverine into molten steel; however, he was interrupted by Omega Red. While Wild Child and Omega Red battled each other, Wolverine managed to flee. Unfortunately, Wild Child become distracted and was ultimately thrown into the molten steel by Omega Red after having his chest punctured. (To learn about Omega Red, click on his highlighted name above.)

Other Info
Young Angelo Espinosa grew up in the Barrio in South Central Los Angeles and saw his father killed in a drive-by shooting. Having had violence forced on him at such an impressionable age, Angelo joined a gang and fell in love with a fellow member named Tores. Following one particularly violent shoot-out with a rival gang, Angelo was forced to fake his own death and entrusted his cousin Gil with the knowledge that he was still alive.

Later on, Angelo was one of several young mutants kidnapped by the techno-organic alien race the Phalanx. However, Angelo and his fellow prisoners were rescued by the X-Men. Soon after this, Angelo joined up and became one of the founding members of Generation X (a team of mutants enrolled in Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters at its new branch in the re-opened Massachusetts Academy.) Angelo was given the codename "Skin" as a result of his mutant ability. (To learn about the above highlighted race, teams, and/or places, just click on their names.)

During his time with Generation X, Skin was targeted by the armored vigilante the X-Cutioner, who believed him to be responsible for the death of Angelo Espinosa, not knowing that they were the same person. This prompted Skin to return home where he disguised himself as an old man and visited the grave that bore his name. There, Skin encountered both his mother and Tores, though they were unaware of his true identity. (To learn about X-Cutioner, click on the highlighted name above.)

Later on during a trip to Los Angeles, Generation X was attacked by cybernetic Prime Sentinels from the government-sponsored anti-mutant Operation: Zero Tolerance. Skin was reunited with Tores when he sought help from her and her own gang and learned that she too was a mutant. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the team and/or program.)

After Generation X disbanded, due to the the closure of the Massachusetts Academy, Skin left for home to Los Angeles with his teammate Jubilee. Once there, he took up a job in a fast food restaurant while Jubilee aspired to a career as an actress. During this time, Skin displayed feelings for Jubilee, but she did not reciprocate them. (To learn about Jubilee, click on the highlighted name above.)

Later on, Skin was captured by the anti-mutant religious organization the Church of Humanity and crucified on a cross on the lawn of the X-Men’s mansion. Despite the X-Men’s best efforts, he died from his injuries. Skin was buried in his family plot in the Beverly Glen Cemetery in Los Angeles; however, the cemetery did not allow mutants to be buried on its grounds. Therefore, his body was ultimately cremated and his ashes were given to Jubilee.

More recently, Skin has been revived by an alien techno organic virus.

Other Info
At one point, all the Asgardian warriors were fighting among themselves including Thor and Loki. The Almighty Odin intervened, and called both Thor and Loki together. It was here that Odin revealed to the brothers that Ragnarok (the end of Asgard) was near. Therefore, Thor and Loki hand-picked warriors of Asgard to sail on a voyage to find the villain responsible. Among Thor, Loki, and Balder were three warriors that would constantly team-up forevermore: Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg. The group sets sail in a boat to fight their enemy; however, the ship experiences a mutiny. Fortunately, the three warriors (Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg) were quick to settle the problem with their superior fighting abilities. (To learn about the race, characters, and/or event above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by Loki in his woman-form.)

The three warriors enjoyed many more adventures together. They soon became known as the "Warriors Three." The trio teamed up with many of their fellow Asgardians in battle. Some of the more notable allies were Thor, Lady Sif, Balder, Heimdall. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters. Note: Beware of the very revealing outfit worn by Sif on her bio page.)

Later on, the Warriors Three are put on trail after mistakenly killing a shape shifting Giant. For their punishment (to pacify the giant's father), they are sent on an epic and sweeping adventure with Thor. In order, to right their wrong, they must collect an assortment of rare artifacts: apples at the highest branch of the World Tree, Yggdrasil; the skin of a pig that belongs to the god Dionysus; the spear of Chulain; and the legendary Grasscutter sword, Kusanagi. During their first task of obtaining the apples from the top of the world tree, Volstagg showed his worth. The task of capturing the pig, Hogun and Fandral chased the pig around while Thor engaged in combat with Hercules. Then Hogun received his chance to shine, when it came to the task of acquiring the spear of Chulain. He went into a berserker rage after seeing his comrades felled, and it was his grit and skills with the mace that defeated Chulain himself. It was difficult, but the team was able to collect all the remaining items. The Warriors Three returned triumphant and victorious, much to the chagrin of the father of the giant slayed. However, intervention from other giants brought resolution to both Asgardian and Etins (Giants of Jotunheim) alike. (To learn more about the items, characters, race, and/or place just click on their highlighted names above.)

At one point, Odin aspires to pit the greatest warriors against each other, creating the "Tournament of the Titans" to serve as the qualifier. The Warrior's Three team up with their regular comrade Thor, to battle against others. One of the teams was the Warriors of the Thousand Galaxies, which consisted of Brok the Crusher, Galp of the Steel Arm, Drom the Spirit Weaver, and Tyr of the Binding Blade.  
 
Later, Loki brought Ragnarök down upon Asgard. During the these events, all the Asgardians, including the Warriors Three were thought dead. However, Thor soon began his search for his lost Asgardian brothers and sisters (they had not all died, most are only lost--inhabiting the bodies of mortals). As Dr. Donald Blake, Thor heads to Africa as a part of "Doctors With No Borders." While there, Donald Blake experiences trouble, and Thor is needed. As the mighty god of Thunder, the violence between two warring tribes over land is stopped, but Thor senses something familiar with three of the soldiers volunteering their services to the war torn area. Thor senses the spirits of his old friends, the Warriors Three, within. With his new found power, Thor was able to draw their essences out into their true form. Thus, Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg are restored. The Warriors Three, now reunited with Thor, do what they can for the inhabitants of the area then return to Asgard (which was now located in Broxton, Oklahoma).

After the teams returned to Asgard, word that the members of the Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.) had freed the giant wolf, Fenris (son of Loki). Therefore, the Warriors Three embarked on a new adventure: tracking and capturing Fenris Wolf. The Warriors Three travel far and wide searching for clues as to the Fenris Wolf plot. During their quest, they face many foes, including rock trolls lead by Ulik, and super powered A.I.M. researchers. However, in the end, the Warriors Three are able to tame the beast and bring it back to Asgard with help from Helen Gable (an A.I.M. agent infused with D.N.A. of Loki and Fenris). Helen Gable left such an impression on the team that they made her an honorary member of the Warriors Three and bequested her with the warrior name of "Skadihr." (To learn about the team and/or characters above, just click on their names.)

The Warriors Three have stood as vital defenses against different attacks on Asgard. One of these events was the the Secret Invasion (where Skrulls had secretly infiltrated every super-powered organization on Earth). The other event was the Siege (Norman Osborn's effort to dominate Asgard). The warriors were part of the main defense effort against Osborn and his Dark Avengers. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the events, race, and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing/form-fitting outfits worn by some on the Dark Avengers' bio page.)

There isn't anything there, but click on the following link to go to Marvel.com's bio of the Warrior's Three, http://marvel.com/universe/Warriors_Three.

An interesting fact about the Warriors Three is that unlike many of their Asgardian peers and co characters, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg have no Norse counter part as inspiration. Instead, their creators drew from different sources to create the trio. Stan Lee said that Volstagg was influenced by the Shakespearean character Sir John Falstaff--a loud, humorous figure also characterized by his large round frame. Fandral's creation and dashing persona was inspired by actor Errol Flynn. And Hogun the Grimm's stoic mannerisms owe significantly to actor Charles Bronson.

Other Info
Roberto "Bobby" da Costa is the son of Brazilian millionaire Emmanuel da Costa and his American wife Nina, an archaeologist. However, Bobby didn't know he mother much because she was gone on archeologist trips. Bobby was becoming a skilled soccer player. When he was fourteen years old, during a soccer match, an opponent knocked Bobby to the ground, spitting a racial slur at him. Bobby responded with a heated temper, which sparked his mutant powers for the first time--his body and clothing temporarily turned black in the process. Confused and frightened, Bobby sought help, but both the other players and most of the spectators panicked and fled. However, his girlfriend, Juliana, who had been watching the game along with Emmanuel, stood by him in his time of need. (To learn about Bobby's father, click on the highlighted name above.)

Bobby's powers attracted the attention of Donald Pierce (renegade White Bishop of the Hellfire Club). Pierce soon tried to kidnap Bobby but failed, taking Juliana instead. Charles Xavier soon learned of Pierce's plan and intervened--sending some of his New Mutants to help Bobby against Pierce. In the battle, however, Juliana took a bullet meant for Bobby. Consumed with grief and anger, Bobby helped defeat Pierce and accepted Xavier’s invitation to join the New Mutants. As part of the New Mutants team, Bobby took on the code-name, "Sunspot." As a New Mutant, Sunspot learned more about his powers, became best friends with teammate Cannonball, and participated in many adventures with them team. (To learn about the above highlighted characters and/or teams, just click on their names. Note" Beware of the revealing outfits on the Hellfire Club's bio page. Also, Sunspot in his first outfit is shown in the third picture posted.)

Later on, during a trip to Asgard, Sunspot gained a job as security in a tavern. After lifting Volstagg over his head, he befriended the Warriors Three. Sunspot seriously considered of staying in Asgard, as heroes were honored and worshiped in Asgard and he was hated and feared as a mutant on Earth. However, Sunspot decides to return to Earth. (To learn about the place, character, and/or team, click on the highlighted names above.)

At one point, during a friendly soccer game, Sunspot accidentally gave Cannonball a concussion. Believing himself to be danger to his team, Bobby ran away and left the New Mutants. He made his way to Los Angeles, followed by the Warlock, and encountered the gang called the Fallen Angels. The two stayed with the Fallen Angels for a brief time, until it was revealed they had been gathered by Ariel, who was a member of an alien race studying mutations. Ariel betrayed the Angels to her alien race, who kidnapped the team for study. However, eventually, Sunspot was able to help the Fallen Angels escape, after which he and Warlock returned to the New Mutants. (To learn about the above highlighted characters and/or team, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by one on the Fallen Angels' bio page.)

Sunspot learned that his father had died, and he was contacted by Gideon, and old friend, to take over his father's business and the da Costa family fortune. However, in reality, Gideon was a member of the Externals (a subset of the mutant race who believed themselves immortal) and had killed Bobby's father in search for the next External. Thinking that it was Sunspot, Gideon had Bobby subjected to various experiments that increased his solar absorption capabilities by 3000%. Fortunately, Sunspot was later rescued by the New Mutants--who were now reformed by Cable as X-Force--and joined their ranks as well. In the end, Sunspot had discovered that he had the ability to fire energy blasts from his hands now.(Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters, race, and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn in the background by one on Cable's bio page. Also, Sunspot in one of his outfits we wore during his time with X-Factor is shown in the fifth picture posted above.)

Unbeknownst to Sunspot, however, one of Gideon’s experiments was to attempt to reproduce Sunspot's powers in another being. This experiment resulted in a being known as "Reignfire." Soon after, Reignfire became the leader of the Mutant Liberation Front (MLF). Then when the X-Force and MLF clashed with each other, many were confused because Reignfire claimed that he was Sunspot. However, through lots of confusion, manipulation, and eventually correction, the X-Force was able to get rid of Reignfire when the real Sunspot drained Reignfire of all of his energy, leaving their enemy powerless.

Later on, Bobby was deported from the U.S. because his student visa was no longer valid since he was not a student anymore. Back in Brazil, Sunspot was eventually approached by the Hellfire Club's Black Queen, Selene. Selene put Bobby through a number of illusory situations that to force him to her side. However, Sunspot saw through all of them, so Selene and Blackheart (the new Black King) played their trump card: Juilana Sandoval--Bobby's old girlfriend. The deal was: Bobby would join the Hellfire Club, and Juliana would get a new start in a recently deceased girl's body. Feeling that he owed his life to Juliana, Bobby had no choice but to accept, and left X-Force to become the third Black Rook in the Hellfire Club. (To learn about Selene, just click on the highlighted name above.)

Presumably, many of Sunspot’s allies remain unaware of his involvement with the Hellfire Club, as Bobby also served as head of the Los Angeles branch of the X-Corporation before its dissolution. (To learn about X-Corporation, click on the name above.)

Eventually, Sebastian Shaw made his return to the Hellfire Club as Lord Imperial, but immediately lost the position to Sunspot when an attack by Donald Pierce left Shaw hospitalized. (To learn about Sebastian Shaw, click on his name above.)

After the results of M-Day, nearly all of the mutants in the entire world were stripped of their powers. However, Sunspot was one of the "198" who retained their powers. He kept his position in the Hellfire Club a manipulated a team of Young X-Men into attacking him, believing him to be an enemy. However, when they were defeated, Sunspot was asked by Cyclops to actually become a teacher to these Young X-Men. (To learn about the event, teams, and/or character above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing/form-fitting outfit worn by some one the M-Day and Cyclops' bio pages.)

Recently, Sunspot has rejoined with his former teammates and reformed the New Mutants. (Sunspot in his current New Mutants' outfit is shown in the first picture posted above.)

Eventually, Sebastian Shaw made his return to the Inner Circle as Lord Imperial, but immediately lost the position to DaCosta when an attack by Pierce resulted in his hospitalization.

Other Info 
Born in England, Lila Cheney grew up a natural performer. She would entertain her parents with fantastic stories of alien worlds. In actuality, Lila's stories were not made up, but were actual experiences from her using her mutant powers of teleporting across interstellar distances.

At one point, the alien Spyder (who was an entrepreneur that headed an intergalactic network called the Webb) discovered Lila’s mutant abilities. Spyder then financed Lila's kidnapping and took her from Earth and sold her into slavery. However, the beings who owned Lila later forfeited their ownership of her back to Spyder, who had financed her purchaser. Eventually, Lila escaped and ended up traveling the galaxy, making an abandoned Dyson Sphere (a colony that has been built around a star) her home.  (To learn about the above highlighted character, network, and/or place, just click on their names above.)

Over time, Lila became a master thief and a talented musician. Eventually, Lila acquired a team of supporting musicians and roadies both alien and human (employing image inducers as disguises when necessary), and soon became a famous singer on and off Earth. 

At one point, Lila planned to "sell" the Earth into slavery by sending it through a stargate. However, her plans were foiled when her drummer betrayed her to the Vrakanin Charasulla. However, their attack on Lila was foiled when the New Mutants intervened (they were at Lila's concert). In addition, the New Mutants convinced Lila to give up her thieving ways. (To learn about the New Mutants, click on the highlighted name above.)

Soon afterward, Lila became romantically involved with  the New Mutant, Sam Guthrie (aka Cannonball). The two maintained an on-again, off-again relationship. In addition, Lila found herself allying with the New Mutants on multiple occasions. On one occasion, she joined them in locating the Shadow King’s Gladiators. This trip introduced her to Alison Blaire (aka Dazzler) who at one time briefly became Lila’s keyboardist and back-up singer to Lila's band, "Cat's Laughing." (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits on the Dazzler's bio page.)

Later on, Lila also helped the X-Men, the Starjammers, and Deathbird thwart a Skrull takeover of the Shi’ar government. (Click on the names above to learn about the highlighted teams, characters, and/or races. Note: Beware of the very revealing outfit on Deathbird's bio page.)

Several years later, the alien thief Jornik broke into Lila's Dsyon Sphere and looted it. So, Lila and Strong Guy (her occasional bodyguard) went in search of it. However, during their search, the two were attacked by the K'lanti race, who were looking to get back their twice-stolen harmonium. Unfortunately, this attack left Strong Guy in a coma which left Lila devastated. But, luckily, Strong Guy recovered. Soon afterward, the two resumed traveling together. (To learn about Strong Guy, click on the highlighted name above.) 

Recently, Lila was one of "198" mutants who retained their powers after the events of M-Day. Based on her abilities and background, Lila was considered a high level threat by ONE (Office of National Emergency). Therefore, Lila left Earth and returned to touring the galaxy. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the group, event, and/or organization. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by some on the M-Day's bio page.)
