History

Indra Without Armor Plates
Paras Gavaskar was a mutant teenager from India. He was said to have a sister who was also a mutant, but she never was seen, and will probably never be seen. After enrolling at the Xavier Institute, Gavaskar was assigned to Alpha Squadron, a training squad mentored by Northstar and top achiever in his classes. Indra and his fellow team members, Anole, Loa, Rubber Maid, Network and Kidogo, suffered a great loss when they were told that Northstar had been killed in the line of duty. (Alpha Squadron was unaware that Northstar was still alive). The team was assigned a new adviser, Karma.

Tragedy once again struck, when after M-Day, most of the student body of the Xavier Institute were depowered. In Decimation - The Day After, Indra was confirmed to be one of a handful of students who retained their mutant powers.

Indra was then captured by Belasco and was held in Limbo with most of the other students. When Laura (X-23) orchestrated an attempt at escaping, Indra was beaten badly by a demon when the attack failed.

When they returned to the Institute after defeating Belasco, it was figured out that Paras was the youngest person at the school. After learning this, the rest of the students assumed that he was a target and would probably be killed. Rockslide decided to stay up with him, but instead messed around.

Indra relocated to the X-Men's new base in San Francisco along with various other mutants in the Manifest Destiny series. He is presumably now on Utopia.
