History
As a member of the Press Gang, Pipeline was exempt from the Mutate process that his fellow mutants were subjected to, and served his country faithfully.[2] His talents for digital teleportation were frequently used by the Magistrates, especially when invading foreign lands.[3]
After the fall of the Genoshan government, Pipeline originally continued to serve the mostly human Magistrate faction.[4] After the revelation that the Sugar Man was behind the Mutate process, however, Pipeline had a change of outlook. he became allied with Jenny Ransome and Philip Moreau and their bipartisan rebel group.[5]
Later, when Magneto was ceded control of the island by the U.N., Pipeline was invited to stay and help his new ruler consolidate his power.[6] However, Pipeline did oppose Magneto's attempt to gain control of Carrion Cove.[7]
Pipeline's fate following the Wild Sentinel attack on Genosha and the subsequent Decimation of mutants worldwide has not been explored.Attributes
Powers
- Digital Conversion: Pipeline has the ability to transform a person into bits of electronic information, in effect digitizing them. This allows him to then transmit said bits over phone lines to another location, where he can then re-assemble the bits into people. A transmission could take only the people themselves, minus clothes and weapons, or it could be modulated to include accessories up to full battle armor and sky-cycles. Pipeline had some ability to modify the data files, such as including a "sedative" program to inhibit prisoners during transmission.[2]
