Fang is a Lupak, a wolf-like alien and member of the Royal Elite of theShi'arImperial Guard.Created byChris ClaremontandDave Cockrum,the character first appeared inX-Men#107 (October 1977). In recent years,[3]the character has developed new abilities, including teleportation, flight, and energy projection/matter manipulation. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Fang is the analog of a character fromDC Comics'Legion of Super-Heroes:in his caseTimber Wolf.[4][5][6]
He joins the other Imperial Guardsmen in battle against theX-Menon behalf of EmperorD'Kenon a nameless Shi'ar Empire planet. He is attacked byWolverine,who defeats him and strips him of his costume, using it to sneak up on the other Imperial Guardsmen.[7]
Fang later becomes a "Borderer": a Guardsman stationed on one of the Shi'ar's conquered worlds to help its governor enforce Shi'ar law there. Fang and a small number of other Guardsmen become renegades and turn traitor, betraying the Shi'ar Empire by servingDeathbirdin her attempt to overthrow her sister Princess-MajestrixLilandra.This incident involvesLord Samedarattempting to use some of the outlaw Guard to attack the Earth. His faction is opposed by other Shi'ar and the X-Men, the renegade Guardsmen battling the loyal Guardsmen, and Fang fightingNightcrawlerduring the conflict. TheBroodinterfere with a concussion-style bomb secretly hidden in the midst of the battle.[8]
Soon after this incident, Fang is apparently slain when the Brood uses him as a host body for the egg of one of their young on the "Broodworld", former home-world of the Brood. His body is consumed and transformed by the Brood embryo implanted inside him, and the resulting Brood alien later fights Wolverine, who kills it.[9]
When the original Fang is killed, another Lupak, namedNev-Darr,is enlisted to take the place of the original Fang on the Imperial Guard.[10]When that one is killed, a third one takes his place.
InUntold Legend of Captain Marvel— which takes place before his first encounter with the X-Men — Fang, the Guard,Captain Marvel,and theKreeface an attack by the Brood. A small division of the Guard —Starbolt,Smasher,Fang, and Oracle — are selected to guard the personage ofDeathbird,the current regent of the Shi'ar empire. They ally, then fight with the Kree, after the latter come to their assistance against a murderous attack from theSkrulls.[11]
Fang is seen as loyal Shi'ar warrior when they go to war with the Inhuman-led Kree. One of many battles in this war leads Fang and many others toKnowhere.[12]
Fang is one of the many Shi'ar soldiers assigned to team up with the Starjammers to investigate "The Fault," a space-time anomaly that not only threatens Shi'ar space, but all of reality.[13]
Fang reappears years later on Earth. He comes to visit Wolverine, only to discover that his "old buddy"had died.Fang eventually reveals all of his history with Logan toX-23,revealing how he came back to life after being killed by the Brood. According to Fang, the Lupak reproduce through cloning and keep mental templates of their citizens on file. When one of them dies, a new one is made. He reveals to X-23 that while he is not the Fang Wolverine met back inX-Men#107, as a clone, heisstill technically the one Wolverine knew.[3]
Fang assists theGuardians of the Galaxyand X-23 in stopping a Brood infestation of a scientific facility.[14]

Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Tempest/Flashfire is the analog of a character fromDC Comics'Legion of Super-Heroes:in his caseLightning Lad.[4]Flashfire's alter-ego is Grannz;[53]Lightning Lad's is Garth Ranzz. At one point, Grannz was engaged to marry fellow GuardsmanOracle[54](an analog ofSaturn Girl,to whom Lightning Lad was also romantically linked).
Part of the division of the Imperial Guard known as the Superguardians, Tempest is amongst the first of the Imperial Guard encountered by the team of superhuman mutant adventurers known as theX-Menwho sought to rescue the Princess-MajestrixLilandra Neramanifrom her insane brother, then-MajestorD'Ken.[7]After the battle, Lilandra takes over as Majestrix, and the Guard swears allegiance to her.[55]

Ultimately, the Nega Bomb device is successfully detonated, devastating the Kree Empire, with billions dying instantaneously (98% of the Kree population).[59]The Shi'ar annex the remnants of the Kree Empire, with Deathbird becomingviceroyof the Kree territories.[60]
Tempest is renamedFlashfirein the first issue of theImperial Guardlimited series,[61]because of the pre-existing DC character namedJoshua Clay (Tempest).

Alter ego | Adrian Corbo |
Species | Human Mutant |
Team affiliations | Department H Beta Flight Alpha Flight |
Abilities | Ability to transmute limbs into razor sharp weapons |
Flex(Adrian Corbo) is asuperheroappearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.He is a former member of the superhero teamAlpha Flight,but later got downgraded toBeta Flight.
Adrian and his older half-brother Jared (later codenamedRadius) were raised in the Hull House orphanage, which was actually a facility operated by theGovernment of Canada's secretive Department H. While Adrian became shy, reserved and bookish, Jared became athletically inclined, aggressive, and arrogant. Both brothers manifestedmutantpowers after puberty: Adrian gained the ability to transform parts of his body into blades, while Jared manifested a personal force field that could not be shut down. The brothers were recruited into a new incarnation of the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight.
This incarnation was being heavily mentally controlled byDepartment H,led by Jeremy Clarke. As part of this, the team was led to believe thatWolverinehad murdered the ex-Alpha Flight member Box. Flex was one of the team sent to stop him, which they did on a heavily forested back road in New York. Wolverine initially faces down the team, discussing things and using his senses to check them out. Flex becomes very nervous, despite his brother's bravado. Despite the efforts of both sides, a fight breaks out and it is soon joined by several more X-Men. Flex is personally confronted byCannonballand loudly declares his desires to talk, not fight. Cannonball, always willing to do the same, does so and the two manage to get the fight to end. The fact that Wolverine had no adamantium at the time they were tracking him made the entire Alpha Flight team recognize something was wrong with the entire scenario. Radius and Flex assist the new Alpha Flight in battling several foes, including theZodiacand the Brass Bishop.
During the Brass Bishop incident, the team encounters a church full of zombified townspeople. Flex's teammate Man-Bot reports no life signs, other than the church-goers but a scared little girl emerges from the crowd. The team follows her directions, flying off to where the girl said all the people had gone. While mid-flight, Flex is the one to realize that Man-Bot did not register the girl's vital signs. His warning saves the team from flying nose-first into a mysterious, shielded structure. The team eventually fought the malicious, mind-controlling leader of Alpha Flight, Jeremy Clarke. He later died of radiation poisoning during a Zodiac raid on the Department H headquarters, to be replaced by a new, kinder administrator. A reorganized Alpha Flight team confronts several members of the original Flight and later team up with them to defeat a newWeapon X,who had been created by a rogue Department H scientist. Both groups of Alphas merge into a unified Alpha Flight following this adventure. The Corbo brothers and several other members of the new team were later reassigned to Alpha Flight's trainee team,Beta Flight.
After the events ofM-Day,Corbo lost his mutant abilities. His current whereabouts are unknown.

He, along with a platoon of soldiers, were exposed to a gamma bomb byGeneral Ryker,who wished to test its effects on humans. Tibbets was the sole survivor.[89]He was transformed into a Hulk-like creature with superhuman strength. The only differences were that Tibbets, nicknamed Flux, looked more misshapen, his forehead and joints significantly more pronounced, and his transformation was more erratic, parts of him sometimes transforming while the rest of him remained human. Convinced by Ryker thatBruce Bannerwas responsible for his condition, and had sold gamma technology to theIraqis,Flux was sent after the Hulk, but the fight proved one-sided and Banner was able to talk him down. Tibbets underwent psychiatric evaluation thanks toDoc Samson,but he was subsequently recaptured and broken by Ryker. Regressed to a childlike mentality and vocabulary, apparently perceiving Ryker as his 'mommy', Flux was once again pitted against the Hulk, but the fight ended whenGeneral Rossforced Ryker to stand down. Without Ryker's commands, Flux stopped fighting and broke down, reverting to Benny as he wept for his mother.[90]
Recently, Flux was revealed to be inA.I.M.'scustody, who experimented on him. However, he was killed by Grey of theGamma Corpsduring a raid on the A.I.M. base.[91]
During the "Damnation"storyline, Flux was cast down into Hell after his death and is one of the damned souls whoJohnny BlazeandZarathosencounter there alongside Elephantine, aJack O'Lantern,andRichard Fisk.[92]

Foxfire was then killed by fellow RedeemerMink,who had been in love with Nighthawk, when she was stabbed through the heart by Mink's artificial claws. The death of Nighthawk caused the Squadron members to realize that they had become the very thing that they had intended to oppose, and thus ended the fight, though not in the way that Foxfire had intended.[101]

A chrysalis forms around the Freak's body, and he later emerges as a skinless monster.[103]After being shot at by police, he falls into the sewer and forms another chrysalis. Emerging as an animal hybrid and completely bulletproof, the Freak tracks Spider-Man by his scent.[104]After a violent confrontation, the Freak gives in to his addictions and finds a meth lab. Spider-Man follows him. During the ensuing fight, the building is set ablaze.

Christian Frost
editChristian Frostis the younger brother ofAdrienne,Cordelia andEmma Frost.He was created byGrant MorrisonandPhil Jimenezand made his first appearance inNew X-Men#139 (June 2003).
Not wanting anything to do with the family business, Christian often clashed with his father Winston. When Winston learned that his son was gay, he threatened to disown him and forced Christian to dump his then-boyfriend and move into the family home with him. Christian refused and cut ties with his family, only remaining in contact with Emma, his closest confidante. In retaliation, Winston used his power to have Christian's boyfriend deported, leading Christian to develop a substance abuse problem as a way to cope with the resulting depression. As his addiction worsened, a concerned Emma asked their father to help him get clean and Winston gladly welcomed his son back before turning on him and locking him in a mental institution to "cure" him of being gay once Emma had left. Following the conversion therapy, Christian was released and reinstated as the heir to the Frost business. Christian subsequently murdered Winston as revenge for the years of abuse his father had subjected him to and took over his business empire.
After becoming suspicious that her father had appointed Christian as heir to the business, Emma visited his mansion and was greeted by her father. Demanding to see Christian, Winston refused and exhibited never-before-seen psychic powers to force her to retreat. Worried for her brother's safety, Emma approachedIcemanand he agreed to help rescue Christian from her father. When they returned to the mansion, they fought through several psychic apparitions before discovering Winston's body in his study. While Iceman bought her time, Emma reached out and discovered that Christian was the one causing the apparitions, including that of their father. Emma's attempts to reach Christian's mind were in vain as, in the midst of a mental breakdown causing him to lose control of his powers, Christian was unable to hear her. As the Frost siblings were unable to directly infiltrate each other's minds, Emma created a telepathic link between Iceman and Christian, allowing them to communicate. Iceman, having recently been outed, empathised with Christian's homophobic experiences and managed to calm him down enough for him to regain control. Emma thanked Iceman and decided to stay with her brother to help him come to terms with what had happened and get him back on his feet.[124]
After the mutant nation ofKrakoais formed, Emma re-establishes theHellfire Clubas the Hellfire Trading Company which aims to help distribute supplies in service of mutants, with Emma once again as its White Queen. Emma brings Christian into the fold, appointing him as herWhite Bishop.Christian begins to become closer with Iceman through his work for the Company and the two begin a casual relationship.[125]
Powers and abilities
editUnlike his siblings, Christian's psychic powers did not emerge when he was younger and appear to have developed much more recently. He has the ability to draw upon and materialize energy from the astral plane and create Avatars of energy constructs or project it as a destructive psionic energy blast which causes both physical and mental damage. His newly manifested abilities are extremely powerful, as his projection of Winston was robust enough to convince Emma, herself a particularly advanced telepath, that it was her actual father.
