History

Corkscrew participated in a try-out held by X-Statix to find a replacement member for the recently deceased U-Go Girl, at the Nevada X-Statix Training Camp. He was a promising candidate, 'a rising star in the feeder leagues', and had a rep for going in where it hurt.

He was qualified as a "Code X", which meant that his mutation had possibly driven him insane, and expressed extreme violence during the training.

He was seen kicking a green-skinned man but then used his powers to kill an opponent moments later during a session in front of the X-Statix. His case was handled by Doop as X-Statix owner Spike Freeman wanted to determine his real status.

The mutant Corkscrew killed would have his death explained in a different way, as deaths during training are not popular with the public, so it would be said the mutant had died during a mission.[2]

Doop took Corkscrew out into the woods for what Corkscrew thought was a fiinal test for X-Statix. Doop had the man filmed and his mood ranged from cheery and upbeat, to a horse-butchering, sobbing breakdown. At which point, Doop ended the man's misery, killing him with an axe and a smile.[3]

Powers

Weaknesses

Insanity: His powers had given to him kind of bipolarity and rendered him extremely violent, and classified him as Code-X.
