Powers & History: Jonothon Starsmore was one of Colossus and Shadowcat’s Generation Next, students trained to be future X-Men. This involved kill-or-be-killed training sessions with the fellow students and teachers. Jono (or Chamber) was always against these brutal exercises but participated anyways. Bishop’s claim of an alternate reality resulted in a near impossible mission for Chamber and the other Generation Next students. They were to infiltrate ‘The Core’, Apocalypse’s power plant and rescue Colossus’s sister Illyana Rasputin.

Chamber infiltrated The Core with fellow student Skin by killing two workers and taking their place. However, soon after making contact with another student, Husk, they were discovered by Sugar Man, the person in charge of the Core. This forced Chamber, Skin and Husk to fight their way down to Illyana. On their way, they met Mondo, another student who had already rescued Illyana and was taking her to safety. Unfortunately, Mondo was quickly killed by Sugar Man, who took possession of the girl again. Colossus appeared soon after to dispatch Sugar Man and they all headed for the exit.

The apparent demise of Sugar Man caused the Core to erupt into chaos. This resulted in Chamber (and the rest of the remaining students) getting separated and being forced to fight for their lives. While Shadowcat and Colossus escaped with Illyana, Chamber and all the students died in the Core.
