History

Mole somehow survived the massacre of the Morlocks by the Marauders. Soon Sabretooth attacked him and his friend Chicken Wings to finish what he started. After Sabretooth killed his friend, Mole managed to escape. He went through a wall, like a mole, and saw Opal Tanaka. He soon befriended her, but when Iceman did too, he left. When he was back in the tunnels, Sabretooth found him and almost killed him. Fortunately, Mole's powers instinctively activated allowing him to burrow deep enough to escape.

With his friends dead, Mole went into hiding in The Bronx until the mutant nation of Krakoa was publically announced. Interested in the idea of mutants helping mutants, Mole moved to Krakoa. At one point he believed he saw Sabretooth walking around on the island in spite of his public imprisonment in the Pit, but believed it was a manifestation of his trauma. Having nightmares about it for weeks, he was eventually confronted in the middle of the night by Victor's fellow prisoner Third Eye in astral form. Many months later he met Third Eye again, now manifesting himself through the island.

Attributes

Powers

Mole is a mutant possessing powers including:

• Burrowing: Mole can energize anything he touches allowing him to temporarily make the matter immaterial so he can pass through it and then reform it. This is effective on stone, steel, wood, and most conventional materials. This enables him to "burrow" virtually anywhere he desires, as well as to leave barriers behind him to prevent others from following him.
  • Matter Disintegration: In addition to burrowing, Mole can permanently disintegrate the matter.
• Night Vision: Mole has the ability to see in the dark.

Weaknesses

• Photosensitivity: Because of his night vision, Mole is sensitive to bright light and requires sunglasses when above ground during the day.

Notes

• Although X-Factor #53 ends with Mole being confronted by a very angry Sabretooth and it being strongly implied that he died, Mole survived the encounter.
