History

DJ's death

When the Squad System was first created, Mark was originally on Cyclops' Corsairs, but was switched to the Paragons.

DJ was one of the thousands of mutants that lost their powers after House of M. The teachers decided to smuggle all the depowered students out of the school, but William Striker found out and fired a rocket at the bus all the students were on. After the bus exploded, X-23 tried to rescue DJ, but with his last words, he told her she was pretty. Elixir tried to heal him, but it was too late.
