Husk (comics)
Encyclopedia
Husk is a fictional character from Marvel Comics
. Guthrie is a superhero
associated with the X-Men
.
A mutant
, Husk has the ability to remove one layer of skin - or "husk" - revealing an epidermis of a different composition beneath. She often changes into metal
or stone
form, but can shift
into a variety of substances.
Husk is from a Kentucky
coal mining
family and is the younger sister of the X-Men's Cannonball
. Unlike her brother, Husk is self-conscious of being seen as a "hick
" (Jubilee
often called her 'hayseed'). As a member of the X-Men's 1990s-era junior team Generation X
, she established herself as an overachiever. She later joined the X-Men.
Husk was created by Fabian Nicieza
and Tony Daniel
but Generation X creators Scott Lobdell
and Chris Bachalo
defined much of her character and abilities.
, Paige Guthrie was born to a large Kentucky
coal miner's family. Her father died when she was very young, due to a lung affliction from working in the mines. As a teenager, she discovers her inborn mutant
ability to shed her skin
, metamorphosing
into a different composition beneath. She has used this power to turn her body into stone
, glass
, and an acid
-like substance, among other materials. She can also use her power to heal herself by shedding a damaged form in favor of an intact one. She normally cannot change the shape of her form, only its composition, although an issue of X-Force
, written before her powers had been fully defined, depicted her transforming into a bird
.
. Towards the end of the team's existence, Paige became the group's computer expert and develops an interest in environmental issues.
After the breakup of Generation X, Husk joins Banshee
's militant X-Corps, along with other Gen X members, in order to keep an eye on him. This does not end well, with Banshee's more criminal charges staging a coup
and the Gen X members having to take down the Blob
.
's 2001 revamp of Uncanny X-Men
and was placed in a controversial relationship with the long-time X-Man Archangel, Husk being 19 years old and several years Archangel's junior.
The two took an extended leave of absence. Archangel launched a charity called "Mutantes Sans Frontières" in Zanzibar, a reference to Médecins Sans Frontières
("Doctors Without Borders"), where the two proceeded to help stop a coup with the aid of Professor X
's newest charges from nearby Genosha
.
Her younger brother Jay later joined the new New Mutants
team under the codename Icarus
. Her sister Melody also joined the school as Aero
after discovering she could fly. Aero has since been depowered after M-Day
, although Paige herself retains her powers. Icarus was later killed following the events of M-Day, in a confrontation with the anti-mutant activisit William Stryker
and his army. The resulting battles also take the lives of dozens of other students.
She is most often seen in the current New X-Men
title while tending to the wounded. In her last major appearance, she attended the funeral of her little brother.
and Skin
. Paige is subsequently sent to Muir Island with a team of X-Men led by Nightcrawler to further investigate the attacks on Utopia. When the team reaches Muir Island, they discover something came back when Destiny was resurrected - the villain Proteus. Proteus takes swift action, dispatching the teams heavy-hitters Colossus and Magneto and possessing Trance
, Nightcrawler
, Psylocke
and Husk. While in mental possession of Husk, he displays the ability to assume a flaming energy form, something Paige was previously unable to do. Whether this is an undiscovered latent power of Paige's or an aspect of Proteus's reality manipulation remains unknown.
left when she shifts into a smaller form such as an insect or a bird is shunted into an unknown extra-dimensional space, and will return to Husk when she resumes her human form; Paige most commonly takes on a Paige-like form in a new material, and much prefers to do that. She can become any solid that she has studied and can imitate adamantium, diamond
, granite
, wood
, rubber
, brick
, and even glass
. She has the capability to blend in with surroundings, but in order to do so, she would have to study the texture she seeks to mimic first. In the alternate timeline of the Age of Apocalypse, Husk was able to shift into liquid substances, including complex acids capable of affecting the organic steel skin of Colossus
. Husk also had the ability to change only part of her body (such as changing a hand into a bladed weapon). Paige has recently displayed the ability to generate heat and flame in one form and other form which possesses an acidic skin. When Paige morphs into a different layer, she often takes on new physical abilities or qualities, such as increased weight, strength, or invulnerability. She can husk away minor injuries, but deeper ones will stay with her. She can hold a form for about an hour before she needs to revert back to her original form. She can morph repeatedly. She is not required to stay in any one form, but too many transformations can become very painful. In great stress or trauma, Paige can shed without control, revealing patchwork forms. When Paige ‘husks’, she sheds her clothing as well. This has the somewhat unfortunate side effect of leaving her nude when she returns to her normal form.
In the Age of Apocalypse
, Paige was a member of Generation Next. Husk was found by Sinister
along with her sister Elizabeth and her brother Sam
while the rest of their family, save for their brother Joshua
, were culled by Apocalypse's Infinites. However, unlike Sam and Elizabeth, Paige declined Sinister's offer to join his Elite Mutant Force. Instead she joined Magneto
's cause. Like her main Marvel Universe
counterpart, Paige had a relationship with Chamber, though in this case the relationship became physical as well. She also had greater control over her abilities, as she was able to transform only parts of her body, and even capable of adopting liquid, gaseous, and energy states.
Paige was believed dead, along with the rest of the Generation Next members. However, she was enslaved by the inmates of the Seattle Core until Apocalypse's regime
fully collapsed. Husk was eventually found by her siblings and taken to Sinister, who brainwashed her and made her want revenge for the X-Men leaving her behind. Husk infiltrated the ranks of the X-Men as a mutant named Xorn
and kidnapped Charles Lensherr; she even battled alongside the other Guthries, but was ultimately killed by Wolverine's daughter, Kirika.
reality Paige is seen breaking free of mutant hunters killing many of them and later meeting up with her brother, Sam. They both find their entire family dead because of the mutant hunters. She swears vengeance on the humans who did that.
, Paige's name appears in William Stryker

made for television film, Paige was replaced with Buff, a superstrong blonde, because Paige's powers were too expensive to animate.
