Mondo
Realname: Unknown Otheraliases: None Identity: Secret Occupation: Student Legal status: Citizen of the Island of Samoa with
no known criminal record, still a minor Place of birth: Island of Samoa Marital status: Single Known relatives: None Base of operations: Massachusetts
Academy, Massachusetts Group affiliation: Generation
X First appearance: GENERATION X #3
History: Little is known about the Samoan native
called Mondo, except that some time after his power manifested
he used it to save two Samoan youths from drowning, and
he met up with Cordelia Frost, the sister of Emma Frost,
the White Queen.
In an effort to join the new Inner Circle of the Hellfire
Club, Cordelia betrayed Mondo, had him captured, and
brought him to the United States to display to the Inner
Circle Black King, Shinobi Shaw. While he was being delivered
to Shaw, he was rescued by Cordelia's sister Emma, known
as the White Queen, and her students, known as Generation
X. Mondo returned to the Massachusetts Academy with the
rest of the team and became a member of Generation X.
During the time spent at the Academy, Mondo was captured
by Black Tom Cassidy, cousin to the Academy's headmaster,
Banshee, and apparently
replaced with a duplicate constructed of organic matter.
Black Tom and the false Mondo attacked the academy in
an attempt to capture the students. "Mondo" was hunting
the Generation X member known as Jubilee
when he was apparently killed by the man known only as
Bastion, who then captured Jubilee. Since Bastion had
killed the false Mondo, the whereabouts and current status
of the real Mondo are as yet unrevealed.
Height: 5 ft. 10 in. Weight: 260 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Black
Strength level: Mondo normally possesses the normal
human strength of a man his age, height, and build who
engages in no regular exercise. When using his power,
Mondo is able to grow in mass with an assumed proportionate
growth in strength to superhuman levels.
Known superhuman powers: Mondo is a
mutant who is able to absorb organic matter into his body,
gaining the mass, appearance, and other properties of
the matter in question. This change will remain until
Mondo's body "digests" the organic matter, which is then
disintegrated.
Mondo is also able to use his power to travel through
organic matter, such as dirt, and can appear instantaneously
in the immediate vicinity of where he entered the earth.
NOTE: Bumper Robinson played him in
Generation X made for T.V. movie.
