X-Men: New Mutants - 10 Things You Need To Know

7. ...Along With A Bunch Of New Characters

Cypher is just one of many characters who made up the core line-up of the early New Mutants team. His time to shine really came after he died and (SPOILERS!) Warlock bonded with him, infecting him so that he was ressurected as the half-Cypher, half-Warlock named Douglock (after Cypher€™s real name, Doug Ramsey). Before either of them even joined, however, the New Mutants included Sam Guthrie: a good old boy from Kentucky, a proud mama€™s boy, who is nigh-invulnerable when he€™s blasting through the air. He worked alongside Sunspot, who gained super-strength by absoring energy from the sun. Yes, like Superman. Then there was Wolfsbane, a Catholic who transformed into a werewolf-like creature and had a lot of guilt about it; Mirage, who could €œcould create visual empathic three-dimensional illusions€; and they were all lead by the 19-year-old Karma, who could mentally possess other people€™s bodies. A formidable bunch.
