Fictional character biography

[edit]

Not much is known about the enigmatic man called Mr. M. He grew up in a small village near Ghent, Belgium.[2] After his powers manifested, he left for the United States, and after much wandering, settled in Mutant Town.

After the events of M-Day, Mr. M is one of the few mutants to retain their powers. He heads to the Xavier Institute, which has become a refuge for the remaining mutants.[2] When Mr. M arrives at the institute, he passes through the walls surrounding the school and is attacked by Sentinels, but effortlessly repels them. The X-Men are very leery about the intentions of Mr. M, who may be an omega-level mutant.[2]

Mr. M disables the 198's tracking chips after learning that they are actually intended to generate disabling electronic pulses, then states his intent to leave for a new sanctuary. However, he is apparently killed when Johnny Dee manipulates Leech into removing his powers, then having Magma attack him.[2]

When Krakoa is established as a mutant nation, Absolon Mercator is among the few mutants who choose not to live there.[2] The Krakoans finally learn of Absolon's whereabouts during the X of Swords tournament. After taking control of Avalon, Apocalypse gives Absolon a part of the realm to shape as he pleases and the Siege Perilous to watch over.[3]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Similar to Molecule Man, Mister M has complete control over the atomic structure of molecules. He can transmute all matter and energy on a subatomic level. His powers have been described as virtually omnipotent.[4]
