History

Teenager Elliot Boggs admired the X-Men's dedication to protecting humanity, and when his own mutant power manifested without his awareness, his subconscious mind set into motion an elaborate scenario to eventually bring him into contact with the team.[2]

Elliot was thought to have killed his parents as his mutant powers emerged. The police said he killed them but Elliot tried to deny it, soon finding himself in a grassy plain. He was then found by Nick Fury, who ordered him to come into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. It took a lot of effort to subdue him, as he was afraid of what he heard happened to mutants. Fury brought the boy to Xavier's to be observed and trained in the use of his power; the other option was to keep him lobotomized. Elliot quickly worked his way into the core group of the X-Men and even joined in a mission to the Academy of Tomorrow, where the Brotherhood attacked during the school dance.[3]

During a later absence from the mansion, while he was on another mission, Nick Fury talked to Xavier about taking "Magician" into SHIELD custody. Xavier informed Fury of how Elliot arrived at the mansion and the scope of his power was revealed. Upon the group's return, Xavier informed the team of Elliot's actions and the team attacked Elliot. During the fight Elliot exhibited more of his power by creating instances of Multiple Man, Blob, and Toad of the Brotherhood to attack the X-Men. At the conclusion of the battle Wolverine drove his claws into Elliot's chest, seemingly causing his death.[4]

At the end of the day Elliot was shown talking to Kitty about his power and potential and that he wasn't really dead, but chose to disappear and try to learn control of his power. This was done only for personal reason as Kitty never really saw or heard Elliot.[2]

He has also stated that although he can use them on purpose he didn't believe they could be truly controlled based on their nature.[2]
