Merge:Negasonic Teenage Warhead

Negasonic Teenage Warhead is the self-appointed code name of Ellie Phimister, a mutant character in the Marvel Comics universe. She was a student of Emma Frost and is now a member of the Hellfire Club.

Character biography
Ellie Phimister was a Genoshan teenager and a student of Emma Frost. During a telepathy class tutored by the former White Queen, Ellie reported on a nightmare that she had 50 times the previous night wherein all people in Genosha were exterminated. She also pointed out that she experienced the same vision during the class.

At that point, Cassandra Nova's gigantic Wild Sentinels appeared on Genosha and wiped out half the world's mutant population: 16 million people.

What appeared to be Ellie's corpse was carried by Emma Frost, who had survived the Genoshan genocide thanks to her secondary mutation that turned her into diamond, when she was found by Beast and Phoenix. Emma proclaimed the teenager, who had named herself Negasonic Teenage Warhead, to be a credit to her family and the mutant race and suffered a mental breakdown when she found out Ellie was dead.

Recently, Negasonic Teenage Warhead was revealed to be alive and is now a member of the latest incarnation of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club, with Cassandra Nova, Sebastian Shaw (the Black King), Perfection and Emma Frost, the White Queen.

Whilst Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost and Cassandra Nova dealt with Beast, Wolverine and Colossus, she "dreamt" Kitty Pryde phasing down the Earth's core unable to stop.

Upon finding out Negasonic Teenage Warhead's codename, Kitty Pride remarks, "Wow, we really have run out of names."

Powers and abilities
In New X-Men #115, Ellie was in Emma Frost's Telepathy Class, so it can be assumed that she is a telepath. Also, in the same issue, she stated she had a precognitive dream and then a precognitive day-dream; so it can be assumed she has the power of precognition. Then in New X-Men #116, Emma Frost states "she will be a credit to her family and other species", so it can be assumed that she is a powerful telepath.

In Astonishing X-Men #15 she claims that she dreamed that Kitty was phasing down Earth and then it became true, which could also mean that she can make her dreams come true.

Trivia
The 1995 album by Monster Magnet, Dopes to Infinity, contains a song called, "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" that received substantial radio play and made the Billboard rock charts. Obviously, this couldn't be a reference to a character that wasn't created until six years later. It is possible that the name of the song was the basis for Morrison to use Negasonic Teenage Warhead as a codename for Ellie Phimister.
