History
Cortez was the leader of the Acolytes and used his powers to bolster Magneto’s own abilities. However, Cortez’s extreme anti-human sentiments led him to betray Magneto and try to kill him, framing Professor X, Beast, and Gambit,[1] capturing and torturing the latter. Cortez threatened to destroy Earth but was stopped by the X-Men and Amelia Voght, who revealed Cortez’s betrayal to the other Acolytes and the entire mutant population of Asteroid M. He was trapped in Asteroid M by a vengeful Magneto, but was rescued from its destruction by Apocalypse and Deathbird.[2]
Apocalypse granted him the ability of altering the mutations of other mutants. Cortez next reappeared,[3]now turned into a servant and worshiper of his savior. Cortez assembled a cult worshiping Apocalypse as well as the Hounds, a foursome of altered mutants, in an attempt to find a new body for Apocalypse (who was previously defeated and left bodiless).[4] Cortez captured Jubilee and turned Beast into a feral monster but was stopped by Caliban (who was one of the Hounds). After being defeated, Cortez begged Apocalypse to be forgiven for his failure. However, Apocalypse was not angry and simply took possession of Cortez's body.[5]Notes
