Who is x man

There will be plenty of time to develop new characters in the forthcoming sequels. Fans have also complained about the casting of Anna Paquin as Rogue.

I disagree. Rogue is unable to touch another human being without harming them--she would not realistically act like a confident, sassy warrior. Paquin did a tremendous job of conveying the fear and isolation that such a young woman would feel.

She will undoubtedly grow into the part in future movies. In the end, "X-Men" is a comic book movie. Superpowers are explained with silly pseudoscientific babble, the plot revolves around a fairly ridiculous take-over-the-world scheme, and names like "Magneto" are spoken with a straight face.

Don't read all the glowing reviews and expect Citizen Kane. But don't underestimate "X-Men" either. It is an intelligent movie that people will enjoy whether or not they are familiar with the comic.

She wanted to use Nate's vast power to help her rule her Earth. Nate rejected her, and was located by that alternative reality's version of himself, who was a broken version of Nate Grey meaning he could never reach his full potential in power and was slightly insane from his experiences; he also considered himself a shaman to the people of that Earth.

Nate read the mind of his alternate self to learn the intricacies of alternate realities. Nate also learned how Madelyne would take each Nate Grey from these alternate realities hoping to find "fully functional" ones to use as weapons to rule. He also showed Nate how to talk with a dead man so that they could get information from him about Madelyne; the dead man was that reality's Forge, who was at one time Madelyne's lover.

Forge revealed that Madelyne was really an evil Jean Grey from another parallel Earth and was an impostor posing as Madelyne who at one time ruled that world. That reality's real Madelyne had died, but it was said she would return again.

Forge also told them how this alternate Jean Grey had used him to make her a machine so she could travel from parallel world to parallel world. At this point, they were attacked by Madelyne's personal bodyguard, Mr. Scratch and in the process, merged parts of themselves to throw him off. Scratch's mutant power was that no other mutant power had any effect on him, so the Nates had to literally change characteristics to fool him.

After the merger, only one Nate remained, so Mr. Scratch crippled him and brought him back to Madelyne, who quickly realized that Mr. Scratch had the wrong Nate. The broken version of Nate told Madelyne he sent Nate somewhere she would never find him.

She killed the broken Nate and began to power her parallel world device to find Nate again, but Nate returned and put an end to her world conquering days. As a result of the merger of the two Nate's, a black x-shaped tattoo appeared on Nate's chest to act as a genetic brand - passed on to him from the alternate version of himself - that prevented his powers from killing him as they had threatened to do from the start.

After the defeat of this evil "Queen Jean", Nate set out to make a difference in the world and considered himself a Mutant Shaman, a teaching he embraced from the alternate version of himself. Nate became immensely powerful, and had few qualms about using his power to mete out justice to his fellow mutants. He then dealt with and stopped the madman Qabiri from destroying all alternate earths on the Spiral of Earths.

Qabiri was a being from an alternate Earth far upspiral, he wanted to destroy every earth below his on the Spiral of Earths because he feared that someone from these lower earths would one day invade his earth and bring it to ruin.

Qabiri succeeded in destroying several alternate earths before Nate was able to stop him. Finally, he confronted the Anti-Man, an alien sent to Earth to insinuate his genetic code into all living cells on the planet so that his people could harvest the resulting energy. To save the world from destruction, Nate merged himself with the Anti-Man, in essence "poisoning" the cells of Earth with his presence, and dissipating both of them across the globe.

Dark Beast commented that the peculiar circumstances of X-Man's demise would theoretically allow him to be restored to life. Nate resurfaces once more, in a small town, where his presence causes several of the inhabitants to dreamwalk and continuously repeat "I'm an X-Man. As Norman's X-Men investigate, both Mimic and Omega are overwhelmed with Nate's energies and go on a rampage leaving Mystique and Dark Beast alone with a patient that they were examining. Shortly Nate once more takes physical form, much to Beast's shock and horror, believing Mystique to be his mother Jean Grey, since she had taken her form.

Nate angrily attacks Beast but doesn't realize that Jean is actually Mystique who manages to distract him long enough in order to save Dark Beast's life. Following that incident Osborn tasks his X-Men to hunt down and possibly capture Nate for experimentation and to feed Weapon Omega.

In order to do that the Osborn's X-Men go to H. The PSI-Division manages to contact Nate only for him to absorb most of their psychic energies and to learn what has happened to the world and to the mutant race in his absence. Angrily he demands to know what they, presumably Osborn's X-Men, had done. Nate finally manages to materialize and confronts Norman's X-Men.

He dispatches the Sentry by telling him of their mutual past, something that he claims to be the truth, which upsets Sentry so that he retreats in order to consider this.

The other members of Norman's team don't fare better either, only Ares poses a threat. He also discovered that the Brotherhood wanted a deadly gas that was on-board the train, called CS-9 or Coldsnap. Since he had already decided that he didn't want to work with Dark Beast, Nate destroyed all the Coldsnap at the risk of his life. After destroying the Brotherhood's Coldsnap, Nate was met by a group of three girls called Bux, Jam and Marita , who had often seen him in the park performing his shows.

The three girls and Nate started going clubbing, and during one of these nights, Nate was asked to sing. Unfortunately, his performance was interrupted by a man called Jackknife. Jackknife had been one of the misfits with Abomination's crew, and had his psychic powers unlocked by Nate during Nate's battle with Abomination.

Jackknife tried to kill Nate, blaming him for the voices in his head, but Nate managed to stop him. The police then arrived, trying to arrest Nate, but the crowd intervened on Nate's behalf. The next day, Jam lost her arm in a motorbike accident. Whilst Nate, Bux and Marita were visiting her in hospital, Nate touched a medic, who somehow gained the power to heal people, and restored Jam's arm.

The public heard about this, and some people began to view Nate as a messiah. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. After Nate failed to stop a terrorist attack at Madison Square Garden, the public started to hunt him.

Nate found out that this was due to Zebediah Killgrave , better known as the Purple Man, who had subtly made people like Nate. Purple Man was planning on harnessing Nate's power and using it to get his family back, before ruling the world. Luckily, Nate worked out that Purple Man's powers worked via pheromones, and could block them out with a telekinetic shield.

Although he managed to defeat Purple Man, he still wasn't very popular. Jam's arm also disappeared, having turned out to be a psychic projection. After this encounter, Nate had a few more bad run-ins with people, this caused his general mistrust to grow even greater than before. Nate did all he could to avoid contact with anyone involved with the X-Men. But after a while Nate began to trust the people in this new world and even managed to bond with a few of them including the real Jean Grey and Cyclops and his alternate brother Cable.

After a while he encountered the Goblin Queen again, when a huge telepathic wave disabled all active telepaths. He traveled with her for a while seeing that he was dependent on her much more that he was when he came to the new world. Then he found out that the Madelyne he was with was not even Madelyne Pryor. The person he was with was an alternate version of an evil Queen, Jean Grey that was the ruler of another dimension.

She went to different worlds trying to find Nate Grey. She saw them as the ultimate telekinetic weapon. She took Nate back to her own dimension where he escaped and found another Nate Grey that was able to hide from the Queen as a shaman. He used his powers to hide. This stunned our Nate since the other Nate was just like him, his powers were meant to drain him and kill him.

But this Nate had a genetic brand that stopped his powers from killing him, a gift of the evil Queen that lured him to her. Together they tried to fight the Queen but in the end they switched traits. The other Nate was killed by the Queen and the Nate from Earth got the genetic brand that stopped his powers from killing him.

No longer having to hold back he lashed out and killed the evil Queen. After the defeat of the evil Queen, Nate set out to make a difference in the world and considered himself a Mutant Shaman, a teaching he embraced from the alternate version of himself.

Nate became immensely powerful, and had few qualms about using his power to mete out justice to his fellow mutants. He then met with the personalities of Idris and dealt with and stopped the madman Qabiri from destroying all alternate earths on the Spiral of Earths. Qabiri was a being from an alternate Earth far upspiral, he wanted to destroy every earth below his on the Spiral of Earths because he feared that someone from these lower earths would one day invade his earth and bring it to ruin.

Qabiri succeeded in destroying several alternate earths before Nate was able to stop him. Finally, he confronted the Harvester , an alien sent to Earth to insinuate his genetic code into all living cells on the planet so that his people could harvest the resulting energy. To save the world from destruction, Nate merged himself with the Harvester, in essence "contaminating" the cells of Earth with his presence, and dissipating both of them across the globe.

Dark Beast commented that the peculiar circumstances of X-Man's demise would theoretically allow him to be restored to life. Fenner, who seemed unable to provide more insight as to the nature of the event. It was then, that power of vast levels was channeled through Fenner to Weapon Omega, who, overwhelmed from it, went on a rampage, and Mimic, who caught a glimpse of his future by temporarily gaining a form of precognition.

Soon enough, energy was being expelled from within Fenner, energy that soon started to take human shape, but was still unable to manifest itself completely. The energy form remarked on how he wished to act like an individual again, and managed to focus on the two remaining Dark X-Men inside the room, Mystique still in the shape of Jean Grey and Dark Beast.

Once Mystique was unable to recognize the being that stood before her, the mysterious form said he would try and focus in order to bring himself together for a moment. It was then that the true identity of the energy being was revealed. It was none other than Nate Grey, X-Man, who pleaded to the one who perceived to be his mother Jean for help, so that he "could make it back home". Lashing out his power, he attacked Dark Beast, only to be halted by Mystique.

Improvising quickly, Mystique told Nate the world he knew had changed massively, and that even she could not be certain that he truly was the one he claimed to be. X-Man then stated that he was trying to be complete once again, but the energy levels he had just expended, and that his mere presence there required, was too much to bear. Then, he vanished once again.

Back to their headquarters, Osborn briefed the Dark X-Men for X-Man, and gave an outline of his powers, abilities, and past history. He also expressed a view that X-Man could go toe to toe with the Sentry, something he Osborn labels as a sign of utmost importance, as to the power levels of a potential threat.

Moreover, considering X-Man an omega level threat, and a dangerous extremist, he wished to capture, and place him within the Omega Machine. The Dark X-Men then headed towards the H. R psi-division, to consult a team of psychics, in order to track X-Man once again.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, X-Man was still struggling to regain his previous identity, slowly remembering who he used to be. Embracing the constant pain he was experiencing, and driven from the thought of his mother in danger, and his people the mutant kind being in need of his abilities, he was slowly preparing his return to the real world.

In the meantime, Mystique instructed Dr. Jarl, headmaster of the H. R psi-division department, for a complete scan of the human unconscious in order to locate a mutant presence there.

Focusing his own mind, and amplifying his power through the mind power of the many other assembled individuals, the scan begun. The scan was indeed successful.

Little did Jarl know however, that X-Man, the target, would begin absorbing the power from the energy targeted at him, causing him, and all the participating individuals, to faint, their minds completely blank. Needless to say, he was not happy. Upon learning the situation at hand, Nate did not hesitate in the least, and straightforwardly attacked.

Venom was the first to stand in his way. Easily defeating him, Nate came face to face with his true target: Norman Osborn and his team of Dark Avengers , while the Dark X-Men were on their way, as well. Completely unimpressed, Nate sarcastically bowed to them, before coming closer in order to have words with Bob Reynolds, a. Upset by those words, the Sentry set off from the scene, and after a further warning by Nate towards the Dark Avengers, the actual battle commenced.

At that point, the battle was intercepted by Weapon Omega and Mimic, who touched Nate in order to copy his power and catch a glimpse of his future. Nate allowed this, and demonstrated to him his own viewpoint of the world: viewing people, and their possible future, across time.

Admitting it, Nate revealed himself to Mystique, but completely turned the situation around, by accusing her for coming to him with demands, and not as one mutant to another. His effort to retain control was successful. Continuing his exchange with Mystique, and despite her deceptive behavior towards him, Nate gave her the opportunity to escape.

Mystique, unwilling to let go of what she had done already, immediately informed the rest of the Dark X-Men. After consulting with them, they decided to once again visit the H.

Contacting Alex Jarl, the head psychic of the psi department, the Dark X-Men were accepted into the re-assembled hive mind. Because of his battle with Nate, the inner defenses restraining the Goblin persona had weakened. Either way, the mutant Shaman checkmated Osborn. But the consciousnesses of the Dark X-Men were under the danger that the Goblin was.

Unfortunately for Nate, his plan didn't turn out as well as he had thought it would. Norman Osborn explained that whilst the Green Goblin was a darker side of him, it had enough sense to know when they had common interests at hand.

The Green Goblin then used Norman's forceful will to combine the powers of Mimic and Omega, who then sucked all of the psychic energy out of Nate, forcing him out of Osborn's mind. Nate then said to the Dark X-Men that they never decided whether they wanted to be heroes or villains, but that if they had come to him as equals, and asked for his help, he could have given them what they wanted. Before he can say more, Osborn takes Nate away to be put in the Omega machine, just as Mystique realizes what a mistake they made in not helping Nate.

After reorganizing the New Mutants under Dani Moonstar's lead, Cyclops tasks them with their first mission to find Nate and bring him home. Nate is found in Manhattan fighting the Avengers , but it is later revealed that he is still trapped hooked up to the Omega machine in an abandoned H. R facility under the sadistic supervision of Sugar Man. It turns out that Sugar Man is using Nate as a power source to open portals to other realities in hope of finding the reality in which both Nate and Sugar Man hail from The Age of Apocalypse.

But after loosing one of his new Mutate minions to the vicious creatures of one reality the New Mutants bust into his base to complete their mission to bring Nate Home to the X-Men. Douge and Warlock quickly deduce that they must be careful or Nate will die. While they figure this out Nate realizes that Sugar Man won't give up until he goes back home to the Age of Apocalypse.

So he force feeds the Omega Machine his power which opens a portal home for Sugar Man. Sugar Man hops through and Dani manages to subdue him and bring him back to the and hands him over to Steve Rogers. It is there that Cyclops and Dani discuss that Nate burned out most of his power and right now he just has "residual" TK. Cyclops is confident that Nate will adapt to his new power level, like Dani did, but Dani says she's a special case.

Cyclops then goes in and says even though the two had never been close, you can't turn your back on family and says that Utopia will be his home whenever he needs it. Nate than makes the comment that it seems that people will go to any lengths to go "home".

Dani Moonstar invites one of her old friends, psychiatrist Gus Grim , to Utopia to start doing psyche evaluations and therapy for her squad. The two witness Nate training in the Danger Room and his struggles to lift even the simplest objects.

Nate is frustrated because he knows he can do better but the computer won't put him in a combat situation. Gus also notices that Hope is watching Nate and Dani tries her best to explain Cable, Hope and Nate's past and connection.

Gus suggests that they let him do the combat scenarios and that it will be good for him to see his limitations. They allow him and he quickly becomes overcome by the robots only to be saved at the last minuet by Hope. Hope compares their two situations and tells her that Cable taught her all the skills she needed to survive in the world. She asked is she could teach Nate some of the lessons that Cable taught her.

Nate smiles and says he would like that. Dani gets a distress call from Hela, who is currently under attack in her realm of Hel, and when her plane goes down the New Mutants try to decide what to do. Nate believes they should stay and help the X-Men battle the Juggernaut , who is currently under the influence of The Serpent. The five go to ask Magik for help but her answers are cryptic. She gives them the means to travel to Hel and help Dani.

Though through a mishap on Cypher's part in the magic ritual they end up in Hell instead of Hel. Mephisto greets the New Mutants and welcomes them to Hell. Nate tell Doug to fix the spell and believes that the group just entered another dimension instead of "Hell". Mephisto claims he is and that "Mephisto" is more user friendly and the term "The Devil" creates negative brand reinforcement. Mephisto, being a man of wealth and taste as well as wanting some satisfaction, offers to help them out.

Sunspot attacks him and Mephisto loses his temper but Sunspot is saved when Magma uses her powers to get them to stop. Mephisto now interested, offers to transport to Hel, on the condition that Magma goes out on a date with him. The boys try to protest but she agrees. Mephisto smiles and says she'll call her and with a snap of his finger he sends the group off to Hel to help Dani.

When the New Mutants finally arrived in Helheim, the palace of Hel, they found they were too late for their original rescue mission. Having met up with Dani Moonstar the team discovered Hela, the queen of Hel, seemingly dead nailed to the roof. The New Mutants lowered Hela's body then stood watch awaiting the arrival of her killers, the Draumar.

Nate stood watch alongside Sunspot, and confessed how useless he felt since losing control of his powers, admitting that he was just a burden upon the team.
