Almost nothing is known about Mesmero, his past, or his powers. Mesmero seems to have the ability to read and control other's minds, but it's still unclear wether the powers are actually his, or if he himself is being controlled by another. Regardless, with these abilities Mesmero used most of the X-Kids to steal three rings. The three rings connected together to form a key that would open the first of three doors sealing away the oldest and most powerful mutant of all time... Apocalypse.
After using Gambit to steal a half of an antique spider, Mesmero had a run in with Magneto. Magneto and Mastermind attempted to probe his memories and find out who he was. When Magneto found out about the spider and the doors, he did everything in his power to stop Mesmero. But it seems Mesmero's powers are greater than Mastermind. Mesmero was able to trick Mastermind and when Magneto destroyed the spider, he ended up releasing the second of three doors that contains Apocalypse.
With only one door left, Mesmero was closer than ever to his goal. He tricked Mystique into helping him. Telling her that she and Rogue would be safe if they helped him to release Apocalypse. Mystique believed him and his betrayal caused her to turn to stone. Apocalypse was released. But it seems all of Mesmero's loyalty was for nothing, because when Apocalypse forced his way past the teams and gained his freedom, he left Mesmero behind. His current whereabouts are unknown.
