Dawn Of X: 10 Spin-Off Comics Marvel Must Make

5. Xorn

X-Men Dazzler
Marvel Comics

Kuan-Yin Xorn's mutant powers manifested during adolescence, causing his normal head to be burned away by a tiny star. His twin brother Shen Xorn manifested similar powers. He was able to use these abilities in many ways, but was kept isolated given the dangerous nature of his powers. Even his twin brother had little contact with him. Both of them wore masks of iron that safeguarded others from the effects of their powers.

Kuan-Yin's warden sold him to John Sublime who wanted to harvest his mutant brain. In an effort to escape such fate, Kuan-Yin attempted suicide by reversing the power of his star. But Cyclops convinced him to escape that fate and join the staff at the Xavier Institute.

Xorn’s spin-off could revolve around his time in prison and his interactions with wardens and other inmates, as well as – what we can only imagine – was the further discovery and perfection of his powers whilst incarcerated. An interesting element to this spin-off would be Xorn’s relationship with his twin brother; questions could be posed as to whether they managed to have any communication whilst imprisoned.

The spin-off could conclude with Cyclops saving Xorn.
