History

Cristal Lemiuex was an artificial nanotech being based on the powers of Sunfire and Iceman. She was created by Cerebro to act out his dream: to categorize and store all mutants.

As Crux, she believed she was a teenage French girl who was good at jumping, but her talent faded as her mutant powers grew. During a practice session with her American ice-skating rival, she melted the ice under her feet, which was witnessed by the Founder who asked her to join the X-Men.

Cerebro's fake X-Men succeeded in capturing Shadowcat and defeating the real X-Men, but failed in stealing a satellite which could track mutants due to the X-Men's efforts.

Cerebro absorbed Crux and the other artificial X-Men in order to gain enough strength to defeat the real X-Men.

Attributes

Powers

Temperature Manipulation: Crux was able to generate blasts of extreme heat and cold and could use it to ignite air to create fireballs or to freeze it and use ice shrapnel to attack her enemies.
