Leech
Leech
Created by Chris Claremont, John Romita Jr.
A young Morlock whose power nullifies the abilities of any mutant in his proximity. Leech survived the Mutant Massacre as a child and was taken in by X-Factor, later becoming a ward of Generation X. His innocence amid the horrors of the tunnels made him one of the most sympathetic figures in the Morlocks, and his power-dampening ability has made him a recurring plot device in stories about mutant control.
