CURRENT ISSUE - January 5, 2002

Team X #4 by Dino Pollard & Brad Horton



Cyclops

An original member and longtime field leader of the X-Men, Scott Summers possesses the mutant ability to fire concussive beams of force from his eyes, which can only be contained with the use of his ruby-quartz visor. Following the death of Professor Xavier, Cyclops gained a precognitive ability to see flashes of what may be the apocalypse. He has no control over these visions, but they have made him decide to form Team-X.



Phoenix

A founding member of the X-Men, Jean Grey-Summers possesses powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities that are second to none. After spending time as a captive of Apocalypse, she was artificially inseminated, and left with Apocalypse's child growing inside of her. However, she has kept this a secret from her teammates.



X-Man

A refugee from the Age of Apocalypse reality, Nate Grey was the genetically-engineered child of that reality's Scott Summers and Jean Grey, created by Sinister. Possessing powerful psionic abilities, he was recently forced to serve Apocalypse, but broke free.



Shadowcat

A former member of the X-Men and Excalibur, Kitty Pryde possesses the mutant ability to phase through solid objects. Currently, she is also an agent of SHIELD who has been removed from active duty.



Warlock

An alien refugee from a race of techno-organic beings, Warlock joined the New Mutants where he bonded with Doug Ramsey (Cypher). Years after the two presumably perished, Warlock re-emerged, this time as a member of the Phalanx Collective and calling himself Douglock where he joined Excalibur. Now, Warlock has returned to his original name, and after X-Force was recently disbanded, he joined Team-X.



Caliban

One of the sewer-dwelling Morlocks, the mutant tracker known only as Caliban has unwittingly been forced to serve Apocalypse on more than one occasion. In exchange for his service, Apocalypse granted Caliban superior strength. Now, free from Apocalypse's clutches, Caliban has rejoined his friends in Team-X.



Gladiator

The Praetor of the Imperial Guard, Kallark possesses the powers of superhuman strengh, flight, invulnerability, as well as super breath and optic blasts. HIs powers stem from his self-confidence and he is extremely loyal to the Shi'ar Empire - regardless of who is in the throne.



Lilandra

The Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire, Lilandra Neramani has been a longtime ally of the X-Men and she is also the former lover of Professor Xavier.
