Origin

Alisa Tager was discovered by Jean Grey, Cyclops and Xorn. Per Alisa's request, Cyclops and Jean agreed to keep her presence a secret, and gave her the code name Cipher.[1] She was describe by Cyclops as an X-Man-in-training and served as surveillance at Xavier Institute and briefly at Graymalkin Industries.

For unknown reasons, Alisa began to befriend the student Blindfold while acting as a spy in the Xavier Institute and helped protect her during Beast's rampage through the X-Mansion.[2]

Final Genesis

When Jonas Graymalkin emerged from his would-be grave under the remains of the Xavier Institute following the last Sentinel attack that destroyed the school,[3] he was greeted by Cipher.[4] After their meeting, the two of them observed Donald Pierce impersonating Cyclops and training the Young X-Men.[5]

Cipher aided Blindfold and Ink during their capture Dani Moonstar.[6]

Through the "cypher," Jonas was told to kill Pierce.[7] Jonas and Cipher freed Magma and attacked Pierce. Pierce escaped. To stop him, Magma, Graymalkin, Cipher and freshly recovered Dust took the remaining X-Jet to New York City to stop the other Young X-Men from battling Cannonball and Sunspot at the Hellfire Club.[8]

Their X-Jet was destroyed by Cannonball, but after explaining Pierce's deception, the two teams together headed to Pierce's subterranean lair. Cipher rejoined Graymalkin there and explained she survived the crash by "phasing".[9]

Book of Revelations

Cipher finally revealed herself to Ink[10] to persuade him to help his teammates, the Young X-Men, defeat the Y-Men created by the mutant tattoo artist, Leon Nunez. She then accompanied Ink to Nunez's tattoo parlor and watched him get both his Caduceus symbol and Phoenix Force tattoos.[11]

After the defeat of the Y-Men, Cipher was made a full member of the Young X-Men.[12] She helped prepare Dust's body for burial.[13] Later she assisted in battling the Neo on the Golden Gate Bridge.[14]

Utopia

During the San Francisco riots about Proposition X, Cipher was teamed with Colossus and Surge in trying to keep the peace. While the trio scouted the perimeter, the Dark Avengers arrived on the scene. Spider-Man (Mac Gargan) attacked them, inciting a fight between Colossus and Rockslide, who participated in the riots. Colossus instructed the two girls to flee as he took on the dangerous villain.[15]

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Powers

Cipher has displayed the following 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. This ability is very similar to that of Invisible Woman. However, she has not demonstrated the control to "bend" light or construct force fields. She emits a bio-electric charge through people she phases through.
  • Telepathic Immunity: Cipher is also psychically invisible. It is unclear if she can render herself completely psychically invisible; Jean Grey was able to detect her[16], but Cyclops stated that Emma Frost is not.[17] It is possible that Cipher was not using her powers when Jean found her, or it could be that Jean's powers of telepathy are superior to those of Emma.
  • Inaudibility: Cipher can render herself completely silent or allow herself to only be heard by certain individuals.[18]
  • Flight: While in her phased state Cipher is able to fly.

    Abilities

Cipher appears to be trained in stealth and spying. This talent is greatly aided by her mutant powers.
