BASE OF OPERATIONS: None
FIRST APPEARANCE: Exiles #1
THE STORY: The Exiles are a group of superheroes that have been removed from the
their home realities to fix "hiccups" throughout the multiverse.
They travel through time and space in order to correct these problems.
The team consists of six members; each time a member is killed or returned
to his or her home reality, a new member is introduced and joins the team.
The Exiles are controlled by the Timebroker, through the Tallus.
The original Exiles team was composed of Blink (Clarice Ferguson,
from the Age of Apocalypse continuity), Mimic (Calvin Rankin), Magnus
(son of Magneto and Rogue), Thunderbird (John Proudstar), Nocturne
(Talia Josephine Wagner, aka T. J., daughter of Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch)
and Morph. When Magnus died (Exiles #2), he was replaced by Sunfire
(Mariko Yashida). Sasquatch (Dr. Heather Hudson) came along when Thunderbird
went into a coma (Exiles #10).
Timebroker sent Blink home, since the team had repaired her personal broken
chain in time (Exiles #22) and Magik (Illyana Rasputin) took her place.
Mimic then replaced Blink as leader. Some time later, when Sunfire was
killed (Exiles #37), their new teammate was, once again, Blink.
During Exiles #28-30, they encounterd the main Marvel Universe timeline,
Earth-616, where they met the X-Men (Havok, Juggernaut, Husk, Archangel,
Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman) and their associates Annie Ghazikhanian
(a school nurse), Carter Ghazikhanian (Annie's son), and Nicholas Gleason.
Later, Hyperion would become leader of Weapon X, Another team with similar
goals to The Exiles but with a darker and more violent disposition. Hyperion
tried to take over several worlds, not wanting to return home. Magik tried to
betray the team, telling Hyperion that this particular mission was to kill at
least six of the members of the Exiles or Weapon X teams. Hyperion killed her
to see if it was true, and the remaining Weapon X members fought with each other
leaving only Hyperion and Gambit alive. Blink confronted Hyperion, managing to
turn his own powers against him; Gambit then finished him off, exploding both
Hyperion and himself.
This brought the Exiles to the Marvel Universe once more,
where they met their new member was a mutant Atlantean, Namora, the female
counterpart to Namor the Sub-Mariner, from another universe. The mission ended
with Nocturne being left on the Marvel Earth, and the recruitment of a student
at the Xavier Institute named Beak. The story arc's exploration of Blink's
return to Age of Apocalypse during her absence from the team might imply that
this Holocaust is the one introduced in said comics and not an alternate universe
variant. Just previous to this mission to the AoA, the now-powerless Sasquatch was
replaced by the AoA Sabretooth who had been left in the David Richards reality.
Then, they went into the AoA, where Beak was replaced by former AoA Horseman Holocaust.
Eventually, he and the Exiles team up to break free of the Timebroker- who was revealed
to only be a simulacrum controlled by alien bugs, and most recently the Exiles' old enemy,
Hyperion. The Exiles defated Hyperion, but at the cost of Namora and Holocaust's lives.
Now, Blink, Mimic, Morph, Sabretooth, Beak, and Heather Hudson are the remaining Exiles.
In #68, Mimic had stated that their next trip would be to Earth-616 to take Beak back.
Unfortunately, they emerged into the House of M. They immediately noticed that this was
not the Earth-616 they knew (as they had been there twice before) and saw mutants walking
freely in daylight with Sentinels flying overhead. Beak is shocked to find his old
girlfriend, Angel, is a model. After leaving a "mutants only" nightclub, Beak finds
Angel and tries to remind her of the life they once had. Angel calls security,
and goes upstairs. Then, the evil "Mutant X' possesses her, seeking out more power
from the Exiles. Recent reports have stated that Mutant X will follow the Exiles across
the multiverse.
