Real Name: Yvette
Powers: Her body is atrophied to the point of diamond hardness, contracting so far in on itself that it actually absorbs the light in the immeduate area, giving her the appearance of being in constant shadow.
History: Little is known about the mutant known as Penance, save that she was found by the aborigine known as Gateway as a prisoner of the criminal Emplate. Gateway then brought Penance to the newly reopened Massachusetts Academy, saying only the word "Penance" when encountered by Banshee and the members of Generation X. Penance was soon admitted as a member of Generation X.
Some time after her arrival, the Massachusetts Academy was attacked by Emplate and his group the New Hellions, who wanted to take Penance back with them. When Emplate was about to kill Banshee, Penance betrayed Emplate and attacked him, forcing him to flee. Emplate called her "Yvette," giving an indication that he knows about her past. Whether Emplate will reveal this information remains to be seen. |
