History
Carl Denti was President Val Cooper's Vice-President.
When she was killed by the Friends of Humanity at a peace summit, alongside Magneto and Quicksilver, Denti was put in charge, and pressed by his cabinet to abandon Cooper's views and politics towards peaceful human/mutant relations.
Although, he kept on this way, and called for a new peace summit, with the X-Men as representatives for mutantkind, as Xavier had been appointed leader of Genosha by the late Magneto.[1]
