Coming from an affluent family and the son of a Calcuttan police chief, Indian national Neal Shaara has not been a follower of Charles Xavier's philosophies for long, but appears to be one of their most dedicated supporters, nonetheless.
Vargas claimed that mutants are deviations from the norm, an evolutionary dead end nature explored until it found the true path for the next step in mutant kinds development, the legitimate Homo Sapiens Superior, namely, himself.
After the apparent death of Baron von Strucker, Viper took the name Madame Hydra and took control of the New York-based faction of Hydra.
Born with super-human senses and the power to heal from almost any wound, Wolverine was captured by a secret Canadian organization and given an unbreakable skeleton and claws. Treated like an animal, it took years for him to control himself. Now, he's a premiere member of both the X-Men and the Avengers.
Feared and hated by humans because they're different, the X-Men are heroic mutants, individuals born with special powers who've sworn to use their gifts to protect mutants as well as humans.
