Replacing Exiles original member, Blink was no easy task and this mystic, well, she didn't! Unlike Blink, she was difficult to work with, her methods were too extreme for her teammates and she was a bit too “frisky” and insane for them. However, underneath all of this was a young woman who was simply desperate to return home and willing to do anything to save her family. Read here about the Exiles’ Magik.

Spotlight On... ARMOR (ULTIMATE)!
Hisako Ichiki of the Ultimate Universe was not as fortunate as her Earth 616 counterpart. As a young woman, she was imprisoned for the crime of being a mutant. Yet, following her rescue by the remnants of the Ultimate X-Men, she blossomed into an optimistic and fierce young woman who would do anything to protect her friends. Unfortunately, the Secret Wars event robbed her of this life and dropped her on Earth 616, only to be controlled by the sadistic Miss Sinister. Read here about Armor.
Spotlight On... WARHAWK!
This obscure villain favored by Chris Claremont fought the X-Men and Heroes for Hire on different occasions. Warhawk fluctuated from cold assassin to PTSD victim whose war flashbacks brought about psychotic behavior. Forged with omnium skin from the same prototype process that made Luke Cage, later stories also made him part of the larger Weapon Plus Program. Last spotted on the run with Noah Burstein, it remains to be seen where Warhawk and his sniper's nest will emerge next.
Update On... THUNDERBIRD III
Today we have another quickfire update of a mutant that was out of the spotlight for nearly two decades. However, he answered the call for all X-Men when the need arose and stuck around for the new Krakoan era. His appearance may have been brief but it was established that Neal had an interest in corporate politics. He was also featured in one of mutantkind's newest and most powerful technologies called mutant circuits. While he may have failed to revolutionize the energy industry or make his mark on the corporate world, he did at least manage to get a small taste of the action he had been out of for so long. Read about the minor exploits of... Neal Shaara!
Spotlight On... UNUS the UNTOUCHABLE!
He is Unus, the Untouchable! One of the X-Men's oldest foes, Unus was an early recruit to the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who remained comfortably in the role of follower and enforcer. His force field is both defensive and offensive, able to actively repel anything that tries to get too close. A career criminal, his habits occasionally brought him into conflict with other non-mutant crime-fighters. Perhaps what Unus is most known for is his force field growing beyond his control, forcing away food, air, even the ground beneath his feet. He's actually died on more than one occasion because of this complication.
Spotlight On... WILDSIDE!
He's crazy, man, he's unpredictable, he could SNAP at any moment! This field leader for the Mutant Liberation Front came from the Rob Liefeld catalog of character designs. Much of Wildside's history is a mystery, with him merely appearing as a staple among the MLF's roster over the years. Having a reputation for madness, Wildside comes with a mind-warping power that has almost never looked the same twice. He recently served as the only veteran member of Captain Krakoa's MLF during the Fall of X era.
