However, Wither enjoyed his new friends in the Hellions Squad, and he remained infatuated with Wallflower, so Mercury's feelings were unrequited. She quickly developed a crush on Wither, and confided in Hellion how she felt.Īt a time when Wither wanted to leave the New Mutants Squad, Hellion made an open invitation for Wither to join them. Her mutation seemingly inorganic made her immune to the 'death touch' of Wither. She developed a close sibling-like relationship with her squad leader Hellion. In the Hellions, Mercury worked hard and made new friends. Ms Frost gave her squad the chance to chose their own code-names, and so Cessily named herself Mercury. Major Story Arcs The Hellions the HellionsĪt the Institute, Cessily became part of the new Hellions Squad, mentored by Emma Frost. Later on she had developed close friendships with the younger mutants and is now living on Utopia under the care of the X-Men. During 198, Mercury was one of the few mutants who maintained her powers and was placed into the New X-Men squad created by Emma Frost. She showed a great deal of loyalty to her teammates and fellow mutants. Mercury was first introduced as a strong member of the Hellions Squad. She was created by Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir and Keron Grant. Mercury first appeared in New Mutants Vol.2 #2 (August 2003). Her parents never accepted Mercury after the activation of her X-Gene and were deeply ashamed of her. Embarrassed by this, they kept her inside and out of public view before sending her to the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. However, her powers went deeper than that, and had actually changed her entire physiology into a malleable metal substance. She and her parents were horrified at her mutant "condition" which seemingly left her body inorganic. When her powers manifested at age sixteen, her body began to transmute from tissue to metal and she turned into a polymorphic puddle on the floor. This is because heavy metals are both extremely dense and highly toxic.Before her powers manifested, Cessily Kincaid was a popular high-school cheerleader in an Irish-American family. Many metals have a higher density than mercury, yet are not considered to be heavy metals.
