History

File:Crosta (Earth-616) 0002.jpg

Crosta is a member of the Homo mermanus race better knwon as Atlantean's. The Homo mermanus just like their cousins the Homo sapiens have Mutants born within their society. Crosta was secreted away by his mother after the abandonment of Atlantis, his father eventually brought him to the attention of their King Namor in a paternity suit.

Ordered to attend a mutant school in San Francisco (Graymalkin Industries, current home of the X-Men), rather than remain with his mother or join his father in Latveria with the Atlantean military, he violently rejected the idea, attacking Namor. Reined in by Namor, he was sent to the X-Men.

He was later shown in the waters below Utopia, guiding new Atlantean immigrants to the Citizen Intake Center at the base of the pillar supporting Utopia.
