History: Marrow is a mutant who, due to the physical
appearance of her mutant abilities, hid herself as a young girl
in the sewers underneath New York City as a member of the Morlocks,
a group of mutants who were also physically deformed.
Marrow managed to survive the Morlock massacre by the Marauders
and was later taken, as a young girl, to another dimension by
the mutant Mikhail Rasputin in order to survive the destruction
of the Morlock Tunnels.
Time passed quicker in the other dimension, and Marrow returned
a few years later as a full-grown adult leading Gene Nation,
a rebel faction of Morlocks who wanted revenge for the massacre.
Marrow and Gene Nation kidnapped a subway car loaded with humans
on the anniversary of the massacre, in order to kill a human
for every Morlock that died that day. The humans were rescued,
and Marrow battled the X-Man Storm. Marrow had attached the
triggering device for a bomb to her heart, telling Storm that
the only way to stop the bomb was to stop her heart. Storm,
needing to end the battle, ripped Marrow's heart out of her
chest.
It was later discovered that Marrow survived the fight, as her
mutant physiology had granted her a second heart. Marrow later
resurfaced in New York in order to stop the Prime Sentinels
of Operation Zero Tolerance. Marrow encountered the X-Man Iceman
and the mutant Dr. Cecilia Reyes, and subsequently became a
member of the X-Men.
Height: 6 ft. Weight: Unrevealed Eyes: Pale Blue Hair: Purple
Strength level: Marrow possesses the normal human strength
of a woman her age, height, and build who engages in intensive
regular exercise.
Known superhuman powers: Marrow is a mutant whose physiology
has radically altered from the human norm. She had at one time
possessed two hearts; the second continued functioning when
the first was removed.
Many of Marrow's bones grow to an abnormally large size and
protrude from her skin without causing any physical damage to
herself. These bones are normally blade-shaped, and Marrow is
proficient at using these blades as throwing weapons or in hand
to hand combat. Once Marrow has removed any of these bones new
bones grow in their place at an unspecified rapid rate. Marrow's
entire skeleton has enhanced durability, giving her some degree
of physical protection against concussive impact.
