History

Alisa Tager was discovered by Jean Grey and Cyclops. Per Alisa's request, Cyclops and Jean agreed to keep her presence a secret, and gave her the code name Cipher[1] She later revealed herself to the Young X-Men. She was describe by Cyclops as an X-Man in training. She began to befriend the student Blindfold while acting as a spy in the Xavier Institute. Later, she helped unearth and accumulate Jonas Greymalkin.[2]

Cipher aided Blindfold and Ink during their capture Danielle Moonstar, encouraged Graymalkin to intervene, and freed Magma from Donald Pierce imprisonment.[3]

Cipher finally revealed herself to Ink to persuade him to help his teammates, the Young X-Men, defeat the Y-Men created by the mutant tattoo artist, Leon Nunez. She later accompanied Ink to Nunez's tattoo parlor and watched him get both his Caduceus symbol and Phoenix Force tattoos.

Now she is considered a member of the Young X-Men.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Phasing: Cipher possesses the ability to pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. In this way she and the object through which she is passing can temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed. This process is called "phasing." This ability is very similar to that of Shadowcat.

Invisibility: Cipher can render herself completely invisible. It also appears that she can allow herself to only be heard by certain individuals.

  • Telepathic Invisibility: Cipher is also psychically invisible (much to the dismay of Emma Frost).

    Strength level

Normal Human

Notes

Though she first appeared in Young X-Men #8, Cipher was retconned as having been present during events prior to her character's creation, including Grant Morrison's 2001 run on New X-Men and Joss Whedon's 2004 tenure on Astonishing X-Men.
