| History: Husk's first
appearance was when her brother, Cannonball, and
his friend Meltdown came to Guthrie farm on
vacation. While there the two were captured by
the Upstarts who were involved in a contest with
the Gamesmaster to capture the surviving members
of the New Mutants and the Hellions. The captured
mutants were taken to the Gamemaster's home in
France to be hunted down and killed. Cable and
the rest of X-Force then arrived at Guthrie farm,
battled Trevor Fitzroy (a member of the Upstarts)
and travelled to France through one of Fitzroy's
portals. Paige morphed into an insect and
followed them through the portal. There she
witnessed the apparent defeat of X-Force. She
challenged the Gamesmaster to a battle of wits
with her life and the lives of X-Force at stake.
She won and they were let go free. Later, Paige was one
of the mutants kidnapped by the Phalanx entity
Harvest. She was rescued as a result of the
combined efforts of Banshee, Jubilee, Sabretooth,
Synch and the White Queen. Afterwards she, along
with the other mutants kidnapped by the Phalanx,
as well as Jubilee and Synch enrolled in the
Massachusetts Academy in order to develop their
powers.
Paige joined a group
of environmentalists after the closure of the
Academy. Later she joined M and Jubilee as
members of Banshee's pro-active X-Corporation.
She has since joined the X-Men as part of their
field team.
Note: When Paige first
arrived at the Academy she had plans to become
the leader of Generation X and studied and
trained twice as hard as any other member on the
team. However she started to lose interest in her
studies and began to spend more time on her
appearance and other non-academic pursuits. After
the six month gap Paige is once more the studious
member of GenX and it was her awareness of the
events taking place across America that led the
team to the House of Correction.
Strength level: Normal
for a girl her age, weight and height who engages
in regular intensive exercise. (Husk's strength
can increase, depending on what form she takes.)
Known superhuman
abilities: Husk is a metamorph who can change her
form by tearing off her outermost layer of skin.
She usually changes her body into a different
element, e.g. glass, rubber, steel, but keeps her
human shape. She has, in the past, morphed into
something smaller i.e an insect. Recently, while
in a rubber form, Husk experienced super speed to
the extent that she was able to outrun a speeding
bullet.
