History

Carmella Unuscione was a member of the second lineup of Acolytes loyal to Magneto under his second-in-command, Exodus. She was one of the more loyal members, exhibiting at times great passion and determination for Magneto's cause. Unuscione and her teammates battled the X-Men, Excalibur, and other superhumans on numerous occasions.

Carmella was one of the Acolytes responsible for bringing the young mutant, Simon Hall (Neophyte) to Avalon, after finding him distraught in an abandoned church in Switzerland.

When Avalon fell during the battle between Holocaust and Exodus. Unuscione and her teammates Scanner, Joanna Cargill, and the Kleinstocks were trapped in an escape pod with the X-Man Cyclops. Unuscione used her power to protect them from burning up on reentry into Earth's atmosphere. Unuscione, Cyclops, and her teammates landed in the Australian outback, and in exchange for Cyclops leading them to safety, Unuscione and her teammates agreed to turn themselves into government custody. They later escaped, however, and returned to Magneto, who was now in Genosha. It was there that she was last seen, still loyal to Magneto. Her fate after the destruction of Genosha is as yet unrevealed.

Powers

Known Powers:

Psionic Exoskeleton: Unuscione is mutant with the ability to project a field composed of psionic energy around herself. This "exoskeleton", as she calls it, acts as a highly effective body armour, protecting her from most physical damage. She is able to shape her exoskeleton into rudimentary forms, such as a clawed hand or a hammer-like bludgeon with which she can grip or strike with considerable force. It is not known exactly how much damage Unuscione's psionic field can withstand, or how much physical force she can exert, but she has sufficient strength to shield herself and several others in a small escape pod from the heat and friction of reentry into Earth's atmosphere, or to squeeze the air out of a superhumanly strong being's lungs, causing them to fall unconscious.

Bioelectric Charges: Unuscione is also able to generate bioelectric energy charges through her exoskeleton that cause intense pain and a temporary disruption of a living being's neurosynaptic impulses, resulting in a loss of autonomic body function.

Limitations: Unuscione is vulnerable to any force great enough to overcome or destroy her exoskeleton while it is active. Should this happen, the psionic backlash leaves her either stunned or unconscious.

Known Abilities: None.

Strength Level: Normal human female with moderate regular exercise.

Miscellaneous

Equipment: None known.

Transportation: Usually via Amelia Voght, the Acolyte teleporter. Various Acolytes vehicles.

Weapons: None known.

Notes

Carmella Unuscione has not been seen since before Cassandra Nova's destruction of Genosha. Though nothing has been proven or officially stated, Unuscione may have been one of the millions of mutants who died during the assault. If this is the case, then her death occured off-panel. She may also be one of the many mutants who lost her powers after Decimation storyline, should she have survived the assault on Genosha.

Trivia

It is rumored (since they share the same last name) that Carmella Unuscione is the daughter or sister (or possibly some other relation) of the mutant criminal Unus the Untouchable, though no confirmation has ever been given on the matter.
