HistoryEdit
I'm not big on the thinking. I'm mainly good for the punching and the ripping things apart.

Added by Copycat989When his mutant nature manifested, Marshall Evan Stone III sought aid in controlling his body's now-protoplasmic state. Help came in the form of the Dark Beast, who gave Stone control in exchange for his services as a superhuman operative for X-Factor. Though still only a young boy, Stone used his powers to make himself appear larger and older, becoming the bounty hunter Random.
He developed a crush on Polaris and confided in her his real name.
Stone often worked with the government-sponsored team until the Dark Beast had him betray them by capturing their leader, Havok. Stone later aided Havok against the Dark Beast, freeing himself from servitude.
He also later freed Feral too, and helped the Acolytes fight Quicksilver.[1]
He briefly joined Magneto's mutant army in Genosha before being captured by the Weapon X program and incarcerated in the "Neverland" concentration camp.
He and Diamond Lil put up resistance when guards began separating mutants. Some were to be killed while the others were to be turned into agents. They were severely beaten by the Boxbot guards while their powers were negated by a dampening field.[2] He was selected to become a field agent but was ultimately freed after a change in Weapon X's leadership.
After M-Day, Random joined Exodus's reformed Acolytes[3], and later Marauders during Messiah Complex. When Professor Xavier convinced Exodus to disband the Acolytes, Random relocated to Utopia.[4]
During Second Coming, Random fought Nimrod Sentinels.[5] After Second Coming, Random helped with the cleanup,[6] and coincidentally helped fight Omega Sentinel when she went haywire.[7]
