Powers & History: Sonique emits sonic blasts from her vocal cords powerful enough to disintegrate solid objects. They may also enable her to fly via a sound-based air cushion.

Theresa lived and grew up in a small Kansas town. Her town was lucky enough to not be culled when Apocalypse began to murder all the humans in North America. Unfortunately, her town was chosen for its residents to be herded away for ‘testing’. After being forced onto a train by Infinite Soldiers, Theresa and her fellow townspeople were rescued by Forge and his drama troupe consisting of X-Man, Soar-on, Toad, Mastermind and Brute. She watched helplessly as these mutants fought and destroyed the Infinites. Seeing one about to attack X-Man from behind, Theresa’s mutant power manifested and her scream unleashed a massive sonic blast. Theresa then became exhausted and X-Man (Nate Grey) took her along with Forge’s troupe for her own safety.

Taking the name Sonique, Theresa and Nate started to become close. When Domino and her assassins attacked, Sonique fought alongside Toad and Forge to defeat their attackers. Sonique and an injured Soar-on then tried to protect Nate from Sinister but were ordered to leave. Nate returned victorious only to say goodbye to Sonique as he had to go fight Apocalypse alone. After sharing a kiss, Nate flew away leaving Sonique under the protection of Soar-on, the only other member of Forge’s troupe still alive. Somehow, Sonique and "Sauron" became members of Sinister’s Sinister Six. Due to Sonique’s hatred for Sinister it is likely she was brainwashed by Phoenix to do so. Sonique fought against the X-Men but was taken down by Gambit and the Silver Samurai. It is assumed that she was freed from her brainwashing after Sinister’s demise.
