He was also a telepath of the highest order -- able to create psionic illusions; read, probe and control the minds of others; and extract a psionic entity from the astral plane. Also, he could generate destructive psionic spikes and lift objects weighing more than 10 tons.

History: X-Man was a refugee from alternate timeline in which the mutant warlord called Apocalypse ruled North America. One of Apocalypse's Horseman, Mr. Sinister, created Nate Grey from the genetic material of that reality's Cyclops and Jean Grey -- known on our Earth as members of the X-Men, an outlaw band of heroic mutant adventurers. Born and raised in Sinister's slave pens, Nate was released years later by Cyclops, who had turned against Apocalypse. Following his escape, Nate joined Forge, leader of a traveling band of performers secretly conducting a campaign of guerrilla warfare on Apocalypse's minions in the American Midwest.

Realizing the catastrophic implications of his master's continued reign, Sinister sought out and murdered Forge. He then revealed to Nate the reason for his conception: to destroy Apocalypse. Grief-stricken over Forge's death, Nate lashed out with his psionic powers and killed the twisted geneticist. Reeling from his creator's revelation, he journeyed to Apocalypse's citadel in what once was New York City. There, Nate encountered the X-Men -- led in this timeline by Magneto, Master of Magnetism -- and aided the mutant freedom fighters in their assault on the fortress.

During the attack, Nate engaged the Horseman Holocaust in a pitched battle. In an attempt to breach Holocaust's armor, Nate stabbed him with a shard of the recently recovered M'Krann Crystal, a nexus for all realities, and both combatants vanished.

Through the powers of the M'Krann Crystal, Nate found himself transported to our Earth, landing in the Alps. When he came to, his subconscious need for companionship recreated a physical body for the dissipated essence of the then-deceased Madelyne Pryor, a Sinister-created clone of Jean Grey who had clashed with the X-Men as the seemingly insane Goblin Queen. The two became fast friends, journeying together through Europe. Her true nature discovered, Pryor later fell before the combined psionic strength of Nate and Jean. During his travels, Nate learned that Sinister had genetically engineered his psionic powers to kill him before he turned 21. For a time, Nate blocked his access to his telekinetic abilities to prevent his untimely death.

A paradoxical being born of a reality that never will exist, Nate dedicated the totality of his talents to the preservation of his adopted homeworld. The promise of his powers fully realized, X-Man became a modern-day mutant shaman -- existing to heal and guide his tribe, though forced to live outside it. He loved them as a parent loves a child, without question. A world-walker, he fought to protect the planet from the incomprehensible, impossible threats of the multiverse -- parallel Earths strung along a spiral from one end of reality to another. To save humanity from destruction, he sacrificed himself for the greater good, allowing his energy to flow into every being on the planet.
