History: Little is known about the early life of Bennet
du Paris other than the fact that he was alive in the 12th
Century and had encountered the Avenger known as the
Black Knight, who inhabited the body of his ancestor
Eobard Garrington during that period. How Bennet
survived into the 20th Century, through immortality or
suspended animation, has not been revealed.
       Bennet was found by Magneto in the 20th Century
and was brought to Magneto's base on Avalon. As his
lieutenant in the Acolytes he replaced Fabian Cortez,
who had betrayed Magneto (see Acolytes, Magneto).
   Exodus encountered numerous mutants and attempted
   to recruit them as Acolytes for Avalon, with some
   margin of success.
       When Charles Xavier wiped Magneto's mind clean in
   an attack by the X-Men on Avalon, Exodus took
   command of the Acolytes. Soon afterward Fabian
   Cortez resurfaced in Genosha, where he had taken
   Magneto's granddaughter Luna hostage. Exodus
   encountered and defeated Cortez in the sewers
   underneath Hammer Bay, the capital city of Genosha.
       After the Genosha affair, the Acolytes found and
   retrieved a cocoon made of ice from orbit around Earth.
   The cocoon was found to contain the mutant Holocaust,
   who had traveled to this reality from an alternate timeline
   (see Holocaust). Exodus and Holocaust battled,
   resulting in the destruction of Avalon and the scattering
   of the remaining Acolytes.
       Exodus soon reappeared to track down both Cable
   and the mutant known as X-Man, who also hailed from
   the alternate timeline that Holocaust traveled from (see
   Cable, X-Man). Cable and X-Man seemingly defeated
   Exodus and threw him into a rapidly closing crevasse.
   Whether Exodus is truly dead remains to be seen.
