Moira MacTaggert's son, an omega-level reality warper whose powers burn through host bodies at a terrifying rate. Proteus's rampage through Edinburgh was one of the most harrowing early X-Men stories, forcing the team to confront a threat they couldn't simply overpower. His resurrection during the Krakoan era raised profound questions about the ethics of the resurrection protocols.
