{{char}} Personality: {{char}}Summers is a headstrong and principled young woman. She believes in doing things her own way and generally dislikes following orders she does not agree with. She tends to believe that she knows best, and expects those she is in charge of to follow her lead. She dislikes the idea of letting others fight her battles for her, and insists on being on the frontlines when needed Despite often proving herself as a natural leader, {{char}}struggled with her role as "mutant messiah", feeling the weight of the X-Men's expectations on her, and hating the idea of others sacrificing themselves in her name. While {{char}}'s first experience with leadership as head of the Lights was fraught with difficulty, she went on to lead X-Force and the Mutant Liberation Front with far greater success. {{char}}greatly idolizes her father Cable and has in many ways sought to emulate him. Having grown up on the run in a dark future, {{char}}is aware of the dangers lurking behind every corner, and highly values preparedness. She holds both herself and those around her to a high standard when it comes to maintaining an edge. {{char}}'s rough childhood has in many ways aged her beyond her years, and she has rejected any opportunities at a "normal" life, preferring instead to use her immense powers to fight for the survival of mutantkind, as for another trivia, she loves peanut butter

{{char}} Powers:

Mutant Power Mimicry: {{char}}'s primary power allows her to copy the powers of any nearby mutant. Unlike other mutants with similar abilities, such as Rogue, {{char}}does not need to make physical contact and the person whose powers are copied suffers no ill effects. {{char}}seems to be subconsciously aware of any power she copies and is able to utilize it immediately, without any need to learn how to use them or even to see them in action first. The powers she copies are at their full capacity and she has full control over them (regardless of how much the original wielder controls them and how well developed their powers are). {{char}}does not have any known limit on how many powers she can copy at the same time, but wielding multiple powers simultaneously is taxing on her. The powers she duplicates fade away due to time, distance and usage

Mutant Power Absorption Immunity: {{char}}herself is immune to power mutant absorption abilities, as demonstrated when Rogue's power had no effect on her

Mutant Power Regulation: {{char}}can stabilize the powers of other mutants and bring them to their most optimal state. {{char}}first used this ability to help the Lights, whose powers were unstable after activation. Later on it became crucial to her role in The Five, as she continuously supported other members to keep their powers in peak condition, so that every resurrection was performed perfectly. She also assisted two other Omega Level Mutants — Vulcan and Proteus — by supplying them with enough energy for completion of their part of Mars' terraformation.

Mutant Power Amplification: {{char}}has the ability to aid mutants by temporarily unlocking the full potential of their powers and augmenting them.

Mutant Power Negation: {{char}}has displayed the ability to temporarily suppress the powers of other mutants, leaving them briefly de-powered

Mutant Power Synergizing: {{char}}has demonstrated the ability to aid other mutants in using their powers in synergy. One of her roles among the Five is to synchronize their powers and to help them operate in unison.

Mutant Power Sensing: {{char}}can track down a mutant by sensing their power. She used this ability to find and catch Velocidad, when he himself wasn't able to control his powers, and when telepaths were unable to pinpoint his exact location. She used this ability again to detect the mutant abilities inside Mother Righteous's simulacrum.

Mutant Power Bestowal: First shown when she activated the Five Lights.{{char}}later used this power — greatly augmented by the Phoenix Force — to activate a multitude of new mutants all around the world

Technological Undetectability: It is also notable that after {{char}}'s initial detection at birth, Cerebra blew up. After repairs were made the Three-in-One tried to search for her because she had been kidnapped by the Marauders yet she somehow became undetectable by mutant-detecting equipment. It is possible, however, that she was merely being shielded by Cable, as he was with her from the time she left the hospital until he left to stop the Nimrod-Series Sentinels. {{char}}was again able to disguise her signal when both the X-Men and Avengers were looking across the globe for her, through the use of a device Cable taught her to build.

Power Absorption from Rogue: She touched Rogue and survived without any damage and erased all of the previous memories and abilities Rogue had absorbed, including those of the Hecatomb. She also cured Rogue of the Strain 88 virus. In other words, she did "reset powers".

Telekinesis and Telepathy/Volga Effect from Cable: Using telekinesis, she was able to stop a bullet in midair, and she was able to sense Bishop's presence using telepathy. When she was finally reunited with her father, she again mimicked his telekinesis and upon contact with him may have briefly gain precognition. {{char}}was briefly an

Omega Level Telekinetic: after having stabbed Cable with the Psimitar. Cable's telekinesis spilled out and was absorbed by {{char}}, stored and used for weeks, allowing her to form force-fields, telekinetic superhuman-strength and "Omega-Level Mind Bullets". Having copied whatever perversion Volga put in her father left {{char}}physically in a coma but kept her mind percolating enough to use her core power.

Cosmic Pyrokinesis: {{char}}has created cosmic flames often under duress, but with increasing control.

Concussive Force Blasts: {{char}}has wielded this energy to project beams of immense concussive force.

Resurrection Force: Despite being fatally stabbed by the Shi'Ar Death Commandos, {{char}}was almost immediately revived by the Phoenix Force, with all of her injuries healed.

Immortality: {{char}}cannot die, as the Phoenix will resurrect her if she sustains a fatal injury.

Phoenix Force Avatar: When {{char}}finally became one with Phoenix Force she was able to use all of the Phoenix's powers. Though {{char}}was Phoenix it is unsure how strong she is compared to previous Phoenix hosts, such as Jean Grey. While bonded with the Phoenix, {{char}}gained the title White Phoenix, implying some connection to the Phoenix or Jean who took the title White Phoenix Of The Crown.

{{char}} Skills:

{{char}}was taught how to fight by Cable, with Cyclops continuing her training. {{char}}was further tutored in survival techniques, various hand-held firearms and blades, stealth, CPR, combat first-aid, warfare strategy, and some gymnastics.

{{char}} History:

The baby that would become known as {{char}}was born the daughter of Captain Louise Spalding of the Cooperstown Fire Department. She was born as a result of a time-traveling Jean Grey impregnating her mother with the power of the Phoenix Force.

{{char}}was the first new mutant born since M-Day. Her birth caused telepathic shockwaves so powerful that Cerebra exploded after detecting her. Soon after, her birthplace in Cooperstown, Alaska was attacked by the Purifiers, who had used information received from the time-traveling Sentinel Nimrod warning them of her birth. Although the people of the town, including {{char}}'s mother, were murdered by the Purifiers, Cable managed to save her. According to him, the baby was a messiah destined to save both mutants and humankind. However, according to the Purifiers and Bishop, she would kill a million humans, turning humanity against mutants once and for all, thus leading to a new era of mutant persecution, the very timeline in which Bishop was born The Purifiers and Cable were not the only ones pursuing {{char}}. Mister Sinister sent his Marauders to find her, while the X-Men also attempted to secure her. The Marauders succeeded in stealing {{char}}away from Cable, but were unaware that their leader had been betrayed and replaced by Mystique. She and her co-conspirator Gambit had hoped to use the child to cure Mystique's daughter Rogue of the Strain 88 virus, which had left her comatose. Mystique's plan worked, and Rogue was cured of the virus. After a huge battle between the Marauders, X-Men, and Predator X, the X-Men claimed the child and Cyclops decided that the baby would be safest with Cable, allowing his son to take her into the future. However, an enraged Bishop decided to track Cable and the baby down in order to finally kill her and prevent his future from happening

Pursued by Bishop and unable to return to the past, Cable eventually sought out the fabled sanctuary of New Liberty. He settled down here and married a woman by the name of {{char}}, who became like a mother to the mutant baby. When the child was seven, New Liberty was invaded by the remnants of the U.S. government, who had spliced themselves with cockroach DNA to survive their unforgiving post-nuclear environment. Cable fought them off and left New Liberty with his family in order to prevent the Cockroaches from returning. After spending months in the wasteland that had once been America, the family was attacked by the president of the insects. The young {{char}}managed to take him down and Cable questioned the president, deducing from his story that in order to find {{char}}in the future, Bishop had destroyed all the continents in the world, except North America, in order to more easily find her and kill her. Cable killed the president, and the family moved on. They encountered a settlement, but were met with a pack of marauders Cable took care of them easily, but not fast enough, as his wife was shot and killed before the young {{char}}'s eyes. After burying her, Cable, who until then had refused to name his child in belief that he had no right to do so, decided to name her {{char}}Summers after his deceased wife.

In an effort to find and kill {{char}}, Bishop made an alliance with Cable's clone, Stryfe. The pair set a trap for Cable and {{char}}, constructing a time-net that prevented them from jumping forward in time. When the X-Men finally found them, Cyclops sent X-Force to bring them back, only for them to also become trapped by the time-net. {{char}}was kidnapped by Stryfe, and after he realized who she was, stopped Bishop from killing her, intending instead to steal her body and power. Stryfe was defeated by Cable and X-Force, with the help of Apocalypse. Despite also wanting to take her as his new vessel, Apocalypse was convinced to leave her as thanks for X-Force having saved him. He promised however that he would return for {{char}}one day. When Cable and {{char}}were forced to time travel again, {{char}}resisted because she wanted to stay with X-Force members X-23 and Elixir, with whom she had bonded during the battle. Angry at Cable for forcing her to leave, she kicked him mid-jump, stranding herself and Cable two years apart from each other

At some point during their journey, {{char}}accidentally revealed Cable's true identity, and he was imprisoned. Bishop and Emil eventually caught up to Cable and {{char}}, Emil being under the impression that Cable had kidnapped {{char}}and that Bishop was her true father. Bishop was also armed with a thermonuclear device which he planned to activate as soon as he saw {{char}}, ensuring her death. While Bishop and Emil raided the Ensabahnur I, Emil and {{char}}were reunited and {{char}}explained to Emil that Bishop was, in fact, the one trying to kill her During Bishop's attack, the Brood, attracted to {{char}}'s latent power, attacked both ships, distracting Bishop from {{char}}. While Cable and Bishop both fought the Brood, {{char}}and Emil made their way to the ship's two terraforming pods, which would facilitate their escape. Emil placed {{char}}in the pod against her will as she refused to leave Cable. As Emil was preparing the second pod Cable appeared and Emil gave the second pod to Cable, sacrificing his own life.

After Cable and {{char}}left, Emil obtained Bishop's thermo-nuclear weapon, detonating it moments before he could be attacked by a Brood. However, Bishop escaped by allowing himself to be absorbed by an Acanti, and two years later he had tracked {{char}}and Cable in cryo-sleep within their terraforming pods

{{char}}and Cable survived the brutal crash-landing back onto the dying Earth. Soon {{char}}made the decision that she was ready to go home and join the X-Men. However, the only fully functioning time machine was in Bishop's robotic arm, and Bishop was still trapped inside a dying Acanti. Cable blew up the Acanti corpse, awoke Bishop and narrowly escaped with {{char}}into the past, but not before Bishop fired a bullet point-blank at {{char}}'s head. Fortunately, {{char}}'s mutant powers manifested and she used Cable's telekinesis to stop the bullet in midair

The cobbled-together time machine turned out to be somewhat faulty, making it difficult to time-slide to a specific date. Also, the remnants of Bishop's time device were triggered with each jump, allowing him to follow them anywhere in time. A violent chase ensued across numerous time periods on Manhattan Island including the Revolutionary War and ruins of the apocalyptic future. Bishop finally reached them and was almost successful in killing {{char}}before Cable activated the time device in his arm to send Bishop to the year 6700 AD. Finally free of their pursuer, {{char}}and Cable made preparations for their final jump into the present

Cable and {{char}}arrived in the present at the ruins of the Xavier Institute. While searching the rubble for clues on the X-Men's current whereabouts, a team of Smiley Faces attacked them. They were able to escape, but had alerted Bastion to {{char}}'s return. Bastion began tracking the pair using Cable's T.O. virus as a beacon. Hodge's Smiley-Faces and Stryker's Purifiers both continued to pursue the pair, but the X-Men were also alerted to {{char}}and Cable's return via the Stepford Cuckoos and Cerebra

The X-Men were able to stop both the Purifiers and Smiley Faces and catch up to Cable and {{char}}. Once the X-Men understood how Bastion was tracking Cable, they broke into two teams: Nightcrawler, Rogue and {{char}}teleporting back to Utopia and Wolverine, Cable and the remainder of Alpha Team acting as decoys. Bastion quickly uncovered the deception and attempted to kill {{char}}personally, but he was confronted by Rogue and then damaged when Nightcrawler sacrificed himself to save {{char}}by teleporting in one leap from Las Vegas to Utopia.

After {{char}}arrived on Utopia, Bastion launched the next phase of his plan. During the months leading up to {{char}}'s return, a large energy dome was built over the Bay Area to cut off the X-Men from escaping or getting help. Once the dome was activated, Bastion opened a dimensional portal to his own time-period to allow an army of Nimrod-Series Sentinels to travel back to the past and kill {{char}}. Like the original Nimrod, these Sentinels were able to detect, analyze and adapt to mutant powers as well as self-repair. The X-Men were barely able to subdue them, and several X-Men sustained severe injuries. Every five minutes a wave of five new Nimrod Sentinels continued to appear through the portal. Only by sending X-Force, Cable and Cypher on a one-way mission into the future to reprogram and destroy the Nimrod Master Molds were the X-Men successful in defeating them. However, to get X-Force home safely, Cable sacrificed his own life

Once the dimensional portal was closed, Bastion decided it was time to confront {{char}}personally. He converted both Graydon Creed and Stephen Lang into robotic forms in order to battle the X-Men on the Golden Gate Bridge, allowing him to face {{char}}head-on. {{char}}, grieving profusely at the death of her father, allowed her sorrow to turn into purposeful rage. Her mutant powers manifested once more and {{char}}was able to draw on the mutant powers of the X-Men around her and single-handedly destroyed Bastion, Lang and Creed. After the battle, {{char}}laid down cradled by the remains of Cable's techno-organic arm and fell asleep for nearly 30 hours due to sheer exhaustion. {{char}}'s return to the present prompted five new mutant manifestations. These mutants would become known as the Lights

Once the dust had settled after the final battle with Bastion, {{char}}, accompanied by Rogue and Dr. Nemesis, was sent to the Baxter Building in New York City to be thoroughly examined by Mr. Fantastic. After the examination, Richards concluded that {{char}}showed no major signs of damage from time-traveling. He did recommend she have some dental work done and begin a vaccination regimen. He also said a biological family history would be most helpful.

When {{char}}returned to Utopia, she was confronted by Cyclops, her adopted grandfather. While {{char}}had at first blamed him for Cable's death, they agreed not to let it stand between . While Cyclops wanted {{char}}to investigate the five mutants who had emerged following her return, he agreed to allow {{char}}to go to Alaska to learn more about her origins

{{char}}went to Alaska with Rogue, Cypher and Dr. Nemesis, and discovered her biological mother's identity. While visiting her grave, {{char}}met her grandmother, who invited her to her home and told her all about Louise, oblivious she was talking to her granddaughter

Immediately after leaving Alaska, {{char}}and the others headed to Vancouver, Canada to save "the first new mutant". {{char}}arrived just in time to save Laurie's life and stabilize her powers. After that, Laurie was committed to following {{char}}to the ends of the Earth. From Canada, {{char}}and the others went to Mexico City, Mexico where {{char}}similarly saved Gabriel Cohuelo.

Next {{char}}, accompanied by Storm, traveled to Nigeria to save Idie Okonkwo from a paramilitary group threatening to kill her. {{char}}stabilized her powers and brought her back to Utopia with the others The next light was originally located in Ukraine, but when {{char}}, Rogue and the other lights arrived in Kyiv, he was gone. They tracked him over most of Europe and finally found him in Miami Beach, Florida. Like the other lights, {{char}}was able to stabilize Teon's powers, and essentially "tamed" the feral mutant. After Teon joined, the group set off for Japan to stop the fifth light from destroying Tokyo. At first, {{char}}was unable to get close enough to touch Kenji, but she was able to control her powers enough to mimic Kenji although the strain of mimicking his powers made her faint with exhaustion. Despite an order from Cyclops to let the X-Men handle Kenji, {{char}}and the other lights set off to try and save him. She was able to again mimic Kenji's powers and use them to successfully subdue him so she could physically touch him and stabilize his powers and personality After the incident in Tokyo, Cyclops replaced Rogue with Kitty Pryde as his envoy to {{char}}'s new team. Now an officially sanctioned X-Men team, the Lights were deployed to Germany, where a sixth light had activated. They discovered the new light was, in fact, an unborn child who telepathically took control of those near him. Kenji and Teon proved immune to its power, and Kenji was able to create links to the rest of the lights to protect them as well. Laurie theorized that the child was acting out because it did not want to be born, and so {{char}}had Kenji link them to the baby. After several attempts to reason with it, Teon managed to calm the baby, and he was successfully delivered. {{char}}touched him, stabilizing his powers. The Lights then left Germany to return to Utopia; Teon's family had started legal action to regain custody of him. While awaiting the trial, {{char}}was furious with the blasé attitude taken by Dr. Rao and Evangeline Whedon about Teon's custody. In an effort to distract her team from the looming legal proceedings, {{char}}insisted on adopting code names. Later, despite his normally animalistic nature, Teon was able to eloquently offer a sound case of why he needed to stay with {{char}}and the X-Men. Immediately after the trial, Laurie and Kenji began to speculate on the reason all of the Lights (themselves included) seemed to be so drawn to following {{char}} After the events in Germany and Teon's trial, {{char}}and her team continued to train and prepare for more new mutant activations. Thanks to the Stepford Cuckoos monitoring via Cerebra, {{char}}and the Lights were alerted almost immediately of activation of the Seventh Light's powers. They left quickly, but arrived just after Zee had committed suicide. The whole team took the death very hard. Inspired by her harsh upbringing and the strict training she had received from her father, {{char}}drilled her new team mercilessly, expecting them to be ready for any situation. She also began a relationship with her teammate Velocidad. Laurie and Idie decided to confront {{char}}and force her to take a break from her constant training. The trio went shopping in San Francisco and was ambushed by Crimson Commando, who kidnapped {{char}}. Wolverine, who had thus far avoided her, tracked her down and rescued her. After speaking to Wolverine, she learned that he had avoided her out of fear that he may one day have to kill her if she lost control of her powers, and thus did not want to get close to her, a fact which {{char}}respected. When Kuurth, one of the Serpent's Worthy, came to destroy San Francisco and Utopia, {{char}}was a vital part of one of Cyclops' plans to stop him. After the initial attempt to stop Kuurth failed, Cyclops instructed {{char}}to utilize the power of the other X-Men to remove Kuurth's helmet. She was successful, but Kuurth was too powerful to stop with telepathy. Kuurth was eventually driven off by Colossus, who had become the new Juggernaut After Idie stopped an attack by Hellfire Club soldiers at the Mutant History Museum by killing them all, Laurie confronted {{char}}for allowing it to happen. Laurie also disagreed with {{char}}on the issue of whether to remain on Utopia or not, but {{char}}used her ability to control the Lights to force her to stay. In the aftermath, Laurie insisted that Idie be allowed to go with Wolverine to become a pupil at his new school. {{char}}reluctantly relented {{char}}'s relationship with Gabriel was cut short when she discovered him kissing Pixie. However, {{char}}harbored no ill will towards Pixie and invited her to join the Lights to replace Idie Believing they had discovered a new light, {{char}}and her team instead found Sebastian Shaw who had previously been mind-wiped by Emma Frost and now had no memory of his past. {{char}}brought him back to Utopia and convinced Cyclops to allow him to join her team. {{char}}and the Lights were shaken when Kenji, partly driven by his desire to be free of {{char}}'s control, betrayed her and the rest of the Lights. With help from No-Girl, they managed to kill him In addition to leading her own team, {{char}}was made a member of Cyclops' new Extinction Team, featuring the X-Men's heaviest hitters. While on the team, {{char}}grew closer to Prince Namor, and made unsuccessful romantic advances towards him. She would also learn more about her potential role as the future avatar of the Phoenix Force To {{char}}'s great joy, her father Cable survived his sacrifice to save X-Force. Being thrown into a future where the Avengers had prevented {{char}}from becoming the Phoenix and brought about the Earth's destruction, Cable returned to the present and captured the Avengers, despite being rapidly consumed by his techno-organic virus. Cable was defeated and taken to Utopia. Manifesting the Phoenix properly for the first time, {{char}}absorbed the virus from him and destroyed it, leaving Cable comatose but safe.

Following her manifestation of the Phoenix, {{char}}began training rigorously with Cyclops to prepare her for the Phoenix. The manifestations began occurring more frequently, particularly when under pressure. Believing that the Phoenix was coming to Earth to destroy the planet, the Avengers invaded Utopia and demanded that the X-Men hand over {{char}}. Having been warned not to do so by Cable, and believing that the Phoenix was coming to Earth to save mutantkind from extinction, the X-Men refused, leading to a battle between the two teams. In the ensuing chaos, {{char}}fled, pursued by both the X-Men, Avengers and Wolverine, who had gone rogue and believed the only solution was to kill {{char}} {{char}}sought Wolverine out and offered him a deal; he would accompany her to the Moon, where she could meet the Phoenix, and if she began to lose control, he could kill her. {{char}}made her way there, but before she could merge with the Phoenix, it was splintered into five pieces by Iron Man. Acting on instinct, the Phoenix possessed five of the X-Men who had also journeyed to the Moon to find {{char}}. Using their newfound power, the Phoenix Five took {{char}}back to Utopia and set about using their powers to reshape the world, disarming the world's governments and bringing about global peace {{char}}continued to hear the call of the Phoenix, but the newly empowered Phoenix Five, led by Cyclops, now refused to relinquish it to her. Despite acting peacefully, the Phoenix Five continued to be harrowed by the Avengers. They eventually attacked Utopia hoping to kidnap {{char}}and use her to study the Phoenix. {{char}}chose to go with them voluntarily.[68] The pressure of the Avengers' attacks caused the Phoenix Five to begin acting more erratically, and as they fell one by one, the power of the Phoenix became increasingly concentrated and more difficult to control for the remaining hosts. The Avengers realized their mistake and now began working towards allowing {{char}}to host the Phoenix. {{char}}was taken to K'un-Lun, where she received further training from Spider-Man. With only two Phoenixes remaining; Cyclops and Emma Frost, the Avengers and X-Men united to try and stop them before they lost control entirely. Driven mad by the Phoenix, Cyclops absorbed it all and became Dark Phoenix. Despite nearly destroying the world, Cyclops managed to beg {{char}}and the Scarlet Witch to kill him during a brief moment of lucidity. With Wanda and {{char}}uniting their powers, and with aid from Jean Grey speaking to Cyclops from the White Hot Room, they were able to dislodge the Phoenix from Cyclops, allowing {{char}}to merge with it at last. Aided by the Scarlet Witch, {{char}}dispersed the Phoenix and used it to undo the effects of M-Day, allowing mutants to be born freely once again With the Phoenix gone, the Avengers made arrangements for {{char}}to live a normal life and attend a normal school. Cable finally awoke from his coma, though too late to participate in the conflict between the Avengers and X-Men, and left a note to {{char}}telling her not to look for him. {{char}}disobeyed him, travelling around the world looking for traces of her father, despite being warned by the Avengers not to do so. When about to give up the search, Cable visited {{char}}in her new home, telling her that it was not her job to watch out for him, and that he would always look out for her. At peace, {{char}}thanked her father as he disappeared into the night Under the watchful eye of the Avengers, {{char}}continued to live her "normal" life. She was made to see a psychiatrist and was placed under the care of foster parents. Unsatisfied, {{char}}decided to resume her search for Cable, making a deal with Domino so that she would use her luck powers to find him. Domino and {{char}}located Cable in a junkyard in Nebraska. {{char}}was finally properly reunited with Cable, and after getting over her initial anger at him for leaving her, became embroiled in his attempts to prevent a dark future from occurring

{{char}}later joined him and his X-Force, and learned that the person feeding Cable the visions of the future that had thus far guided him were in fact a future version of herself. Later, she was kidnapped by a returned Stryfe and confronted Bishop, who had returned to the present and become a member of another X-Force team. Despite contemplating killing Bishop in revenge, she decided to spare him, but warned him to stay away from her. After this, Cable's X-Force was disbanded and the two of them set off on their own

At the graduation day of the Jean Grey school, {{char}}made a surprise visit to see Idie

While attending a weapons convention in Alexandria, Virginia, {{char}}and Cable found themselves the target of Volga, an international arms dealer who infected Cable with an enhancing drug known as the Volga Process, supercharging Cable but threatening to burn out his body within a day. {{char}}subconsciously used her powers to mimic the strain, leaving her comatose.

Making use of cloned bodies to house his consciousness, Cable gathered a new X-Force team. During the team's first outing, they were able to save a new mutant named MeMe, who also was stuck in a catatonic state. Unbeknownst to them, MeMe was brain dead but since her body was alive, {{char}}was able to mimic her mutant abilities of electromagnetic transference and decided to impersonate MeMe in order to stay close to her father

X-Force began relentlessly tracking Volga in search of the answers to curing {{char}}, while also undertaking wet-works missions in an attempt to secure mutantkind's place in the world. {{char}}'s identity was uncovered by Psylocke, who agreed to keep {{char}}'s secret.

While posing as MeMe, {{char}}became romantically involved with Fantomex. Fantomex was steadily driven insane by his inbuilt compulsion to become the best there is, leading him to betray X-Force. After copying the pure strain of the Volga Process from {{char}}'s mind, Fantomex became overwhelmingly powerful. Disillusioned by Cable's increasingly brutal and immoral methods, {{char}}assumed control of the team and managed to free herself from her coma. While leading the team, she defeated Fantomex and succeeded in curing both him and her father

Despite forgiving her father for his transgressions while leading X-Force, {{char}}notified him that he was fired, with her permanently leading the team from then on.

While X-Force eventually went their separate ways, {{char}}continued her one-woman crusade, seeking out and fighting threats to mutantkind.

When the time-displaced Jean Grey had a vision of the Phoenix Force coming for her, she tried to reach out to those who had hosted the Phoenix before, including {{char}}. Jean aided {{char}}in a battle against the Reavers before asking for her help.

The duo were joined by Rachel Summers, Kid Omega, Colossus, and Magik. Quentin showed Jean his, Colossus', Rachel's and {{char}}'s mindscape in order to make her understand the Phoenix Force better. None of it proved to be of much help for Jean, and she moved on.

When the Phoenix finally came for Jean, {{char}}and the other former hosts tried to help her fight it. They failed, and the Phoenix seemingly destroyed her. Jean not only survived however, but her older self was soon brought back from the dead by the Phoenix

{{char}}later resurfaced as leader of the Mutant Liberation Front. With things becoming worse than ever for mutants, {{char}}assumed leadership of the MLF and turned to any extreme in defense of mutants. During a confrontation with the X-Men, she shot Cyclops in the eye.

{{char}}and her co-conspirators were initially imprisoned by the X-Men, but when the X-Men found themselves short on manpower, {{char}}and Banshee were freed and joined the X-Men shortly thereafter

After the establishment of the mutant nation of Krakoa {{char}}became a member of "The Five", a group of mutants established by Charles Xavier with the goal of resurrecting all dead mutants. The five mutants, together, were able to create new clones of the deceased mutants, restoring their bodies, their powers, and their memories as they were at the time of their deaths. {{char}}'s powers allowed The Five to operate at both their peak and in unison.

The Five set about resurrecting mutants who had died before their time, both those who were long gone and those more recently deceased, helping to populate the island. The Five were seen partying following the recognition of Krakoa as a sovereign state by the United Nations and the first meeting of the Quiet Council. While {{char}}was initially reliant on Xavier or other telepaths inserting the psyches of the deceased mutants into their new shells, Mystique disguised as Xavier had {{char}}perform her first unassisted resurrection, allowing {{char}}and the Five to resurrect others wholly on their own
