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.
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.

Powers
Known Powers: Unuscione is mutant with the ability to project an "exoskeleton" composed of psionic energy around herself. This energy field 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 claw or hand 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 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.
Unuscione is also able to generate bioelectric or psionic charges of energy through her "exoskeleton" that cause a temporary disruption of a living being's neurosynaptic impulses, resulting in a loss of autonomic body function or paralysis .
Unuscione's is vulnerable to any force great enough to overcome or destroy her psionic field, while it is active. Should this happen, the psychic backlash would either leave her stunned or unconscious.

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 The House Of M 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.
