History

As a younger man, Bobby Drake and the other members of Shadow X were taken in by Professor X and had their wills broken and turned into killers for their new master. Professor X and Shadow X killed all of the other paranormal beings in their native reality before coming to Earth-616 as a result of M-day. [3]

The members of Shadow X battled the super empowered group New Excalibur and were eventually defeated by them. Shadow X was sent to prison. In prison, they were contacted by members of Black Air who arranged for their release and they eventually met with the possible world conqueror, Albion to join forces.

Eventually the members of Shadow X were released from their mind control with the death of Professor X and they defected away from Black Air and Albion and teamed up with New Excalibur.

One by one the members of Shadow X were killed by the Shadow Captains until only Bobby remained. With his friends gone, he used his mutant powers to their fullest until he finally had nothing left to give and he died in battle.
