A mutant with the ability to slow, stop, and replay time in localized fields. Sway was one of the "lost X-Men" (Moira MacTaggert's secret second team sent to rescue the original X-Men from Krakoa before the All-New squad). She was killed on that mission, and her existence was hidden for decades until the events of Deadly Genesis revealed Xavier's darkest secret.

Fan Sentiment

Sway remains a tragic figure in X-Men lore, best remembered as one of the "Deadly Genesis" team (Xavier's secret squad that died on Krakoa before the All-New, All-Different era). Her time-manipulation powers and selfless sacrifice resonated deeply despite minimal page time, and her recent resurrection in the Krakoa era sparked hope for proper character development. Fans generally view her as wasted potential, a compelling mutant whose story deserves more exploration beyond her role as a cautionary tale about Xavier's failures.
