History
The assassin known as Mister Clean was an anti-mutant activist financed and resourced by the Church of Humanity.[5] Using a flamethrower, he murdered most of the mutants living in the sewer tunnels of London.[6] The massacre of dozens of mutants caught the attention of the X-Men, a task force of mutants who promoted peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans. Seeking justice, the X-Men battled Mister Clean, but could not defeat his well-versed armory.[7] With the addition of the lethal mutant agent Wolverine, the X-Men had ways to defeat Clean. Following a brutal fight, Mister Clean was mercilessly murdered by Wolverine, who set him on fire.[3]
Mister Clean either survived the ordeal or was revived after it. He joined the anti-mutant organization Orchis at some point. For some time, he used such a connection for his macabre tests with Inhuman corpses in the Bloom. After Orchis was able to destabilize most of the main mutant agents, Iceman still proved to be a problem. Under Judas Traveller's narrative section, Agent Pequod enlisted Mister Clean to eliminate Iceman.[2] In Los Angeles, Mister Clean hunted Y-Men to attract Iceman. By teaming up with Aaron Fischer, Iceman was able to fend Mister Clean off.[8] Mister Clean raided Iceman's base, the Ice Palace in Antarctica, where he brutally assaulted Iceman's partner, Romeo.[9] In a brutal fight, the Ice Palace was destroyed. Mister Clean decided to detonate himself, in an explosion that could kill Iceman. Much to his disappointment, Iceman was not afraid of ending this way.[4]Attributes
Powers
Mister Clean was chemically treated that made his skin so hard that even Wolverine's Adamantium claws couldn't do real damage to him. However, despite this he could still be burned.
Trivia
- After Krakoa became a sovereign nation state for mutants, Mister Clean was considered to be the eighth most deadly threat to mutants, and was responsible for 126 mutant deaths.[10]
