Hellions (comics)
Encyclopedia
There have been several groups of fictional character
s in the Marvel Comics
universe
who have been known as the Hellions. These groups were rivals of various teams of younger mutant
heroes in the X-Men
franchise
.
The first and most notable incarnation of the Hellions were students of Emma Frost
and the Hellfire Club
's Massachusetts Academy
, and were rivals of the New Mutants
. Years later, another group of Frost's students, this time at the Xavier Institute, would name themselves "the Hellions"; they too would be rivals of a group calling themselves "the New Mutants".
and students of its White Queen Emma Frost
. While attending classes at Frost's Massachusetts Academy
, these young mutants
secretly trained in the use of their powers in an underground complex beneath the school. They were longtime rivals of the Professor Charles Xavier
's students, the New Mutants
, and once held their own against the X-Men
. The original Hellions were:
White Queen Emma Frost had another potential Hellion in Firestar
(Angelica Jones), but kept the girl from joining the team on field missions while grooming her to be Frost's personal assassin. Firestar eventually learned of Frost's plans and left the Massachusetts Academy.
After suffering a severe trauma at the hands of the Beyonder
, a number of the New Mutants were transferred to the Massachusetts Academy by Magneto
(then headmaster of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
), due to their apparent need for psychic therapy from Emma Frost. While at the Academy, the transferred New Mutants - Cannonball
, Wolfsbane
, Karma
, Cypher
, Magik
, and Magma
- were inducted into the Hellions. However, they soon returned to Xavier's School after their recovery and the revelation that the White Queen had employed Empath to coerce Magneto into allowing the transfer. After an alliance between the X-Men and the Hellfire Club and Magneto's ascension to the Inner Circle as its White King, relations between the Hellions and New Mutants improved.
Magma, realizing she held feelings for Empath, eventually returned to the Hellions and the Massachusetts Academy; the two would later leave the team to travel to her home in Nova Roma
. James Proudstar also left the Hellions, reemerging with Cable
and the remnants of the New Mutants in X-Force
.
Superstrong and durable Beef
(Buford Wilson) and bioelectricity-projecting Bevatron
(Fabian Marechal-Julbin) were later additions to the group, and were present when the Hellions unsuccessfully challenged the New Warriors
over the allegiance of their former member, Firestar.
The original Hellions however came to an end when Trevor Fitzroy
and a squadron of Sentinels
attacked a Hellfire Club function; Jetstream and Beef were killed immediately, while Tarot, the rest of the Hellions and many guests, erroneously believed to be unnamed Hellions were captured and drained of their life energies by Fitzroy. Emma Frost's guilt over her students' deaths led to her eventual reform.
These Hellions were some of the many deceased mutants resurrected via the Transmode Virus by Selene
and Eli Bard
during the Necrosha
storyline running through New Mutants, X-Force and X-Men: Legacy. They are apparently killed again at the end of their battle with the New Mutants.
to attack Generation X
, the new class of Emma Frost's students. This group appeared only once, and consisted of:
Bulwark would soon reappear alongside Emplate, but was later captured and killed by the revamped Weapon X
program.
A second group led by Emplate also made a brief appearance. In addition to D.O.A. and Vincente, who now had the ability to change the chemical composition of his vaporous form, their ranks consisted of Wrap, another mummified mutant whose body was made of raw energy which increased his strength, and a female who could release psionic bolts of "ebon" energy which disrupts the central nervous system of her targets and destabilizes molecular bonds in inorganic materials.
Of note is the fact that Emplate never called his group the "Hellions"; this name was only attached in Marvel Comics' advertising.
, whose members included some from the team's past:
and the formation of various training squads, one such group of students, under the tutelage of headmistress Emma Frost
, was dubbed "the Hellions". They had an intense rivalry with another such group, the New Mutants, echoing the relationship between the two original groups of the same name. Membership consisted of:
Specter
(Dallas Gibson) was part of the initial lineup (which didn't include Dust or Icarus), but was not in the finalised team. Anole
(Victor Borkowski), like Specter, never formally joined the Hellions Training Squad, but was mentored by Emma Frost until he ultimately changed advisors to Northstar.
After M-Day, the cataclysmic event that decimated the world's mutant population, only 27 of the 182 students enrolled at the Xavier Institute retained their powers, and the remaining students were folded into a single training squad, the New X-Men
