Who is northstar in x men

Age of X-Man chronicles where the missing mutants went after fighting Grey. X-Man created a deceptively idyllic reality where the X-Men were beloved heroes and Nightcrawler was a movie star. However, Nate believed that love and interpersonal relationships were holding mutants back, therefore love was outlawed, as were familial relationships.

Anyone who dissented was suppressed with mind wipes, prison, and mental reconditioning. To enforce these insidious new rules, Grey used his omega-level powers to control everything , even using Apocalypse as a puppet. Northstar was a member of Department X, tasked with keeping the world safe from the insidious threat of love. Knowledge of his previous life and those he cared about, like his husband Kyle and his sister, had been taken from him.

Krakoa is almost a direct response to the world Nathaniel Grey created. Days later, Department X investigated a tip of a dissident teenage party at a ramshackle former library. The team soon discovered a group of teenagers, who Moneta insisted were in fact part of a "dangerous retrograde cult". Although the teenagers initially opted to flee, some members of their group rallied their cohorts to fight Department X, inspired by revolutionary Murshid En Sabah Nur.

The trained officers quickly and reluctantly defeated the riled teens. Upon inquiry Moneta revealed that she had set up the encounter to prove the existence of the resistance.

Furious at her deception, Blob fired her from the department and ordered her memory wiped. While cleaning up the mess from the fight, Blob and Psylocke shared an intimate moment. Unbeknownst to the pair, Northstar picked up on the intimacy between the two and was deeply bothered by this revelation.

Iceman in turn picked up on his discomfort and attempted to alleviate Northstar's distress through his patent teasing and touching. Unamused, Northstar broke contact and flew away; later that night he woke up in a cold sweat.

Upon returning to the office the next day, he came across a mind-wiped Moneta and speculated on how much of her memory had been taken. When Iceman attempted to tease Moneta, Northstar chastised him for threatening her reconditioning. Blob and Psylocke showed up soon after and gave out assignments for the day, one of which was at a nearby theater charged with showing inflammatory material.

Northstar accepted the assignment, zooming away before Iceman could be assigned to accompany him. Arriving at the theater, Northstar was greeted by Rictor , the proprietor and an apparent friend. Rictor, despite Northstar's warning, was nonchalant about Department X's interest in the theater. Iceman showed up soon after, having opted to follow Northstar to the theater out of concern for his well-being.

This infuriated Northstar who demanded that Iceman butt out. Sensing the tension between the two, Rictor invited them up to the roof to drink with him.

An explosion occurred soon after in front of the theater, instigated by Jubilee , who offered the three of them to join her in rioting over their stolen and slowly-returning memories. Northstar and the others happily accepted.

Unbeknownst to the rioters and with Blob's encouragement, Psylocke released all of the memories she had stored in her mind, both from prisoners arrested by Department X and, apparently, her teammates.

Soon after, Northstar remembered his past friendship with Iceman, jokingly calling him "otter-pop" a gay endearment referring to his ice-making abilities and physique. This fully snapped Bobby back to himself and he hugged Jean-Paul in remembrance.

Just before Anole departs, he elbows Jean-Paul in the face — similar to how Northstar attacked him in the past — and tells him to tell all of the former New X-Men not to come looking for him.
