Fictional character biography

[edit]

Shard is a Lieutenant in Xavier's Security Enforcers (X.S.E.) with her older brother Lucas Bishop in the 2080s. Shard was born and raised in a mutant concentration camp, in which mutants were branded over their right eyes with the letter "M" for recognition. In Uncanny X-Men Annual #17, Shard is stated as having the mutant ability of "transubbing ambient light into concussive force".[volume & issue needed]

Shard becomes the youngest X.S.E. graduate a year after Bishop attains the position. She serves under Bishop as a member of the Omega Squad (which included Bishop and his officers, Randall and Malcolm), until her promotion.[volume & issue needed]

Together in the X.S.E., Shard and Bishop are responsible for apprehending criminal mutants. During a battle, Shard is partially infected with a vampire-like affliction originating from the present-day mutant Emplate. Bishop takes Shard to the New York Stark/Fujikawa building to save her life by transmitting her essence into a holographic matrix. Shard's physical body dies, while her essence survives in the matrix.[1]

Bishop eventually travels to the present day to track down Trevor Fitzroy, one of his time's most wanted criminals and Shard's ex-lover. Shard is recreated as a computer construct and joins the government-sponsored team X-Factor.[volume & issue needed]

After X-Factor disbands, Shard is transported into an alternate future. There, she is killed a second time while saving Bishop from Trevor Fitzroy.[2]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Shard is able to absorb ambient light particles and use it to perform various light-based attacks. While she was a photon-based life form, she could also become intangible.
