Col. Wraith

Full Name: Colonel John Wraith
Affiliation: Weapon X
Status: Deceased (Nick Fury
Relatives: Two unnamed daughters
Powers & History: John Wraith was head of the Weapon X department of S.H.I.E.L.D. He was a sadistic mutant-hater who was more than willing to torture his mutant agents. Upon recapturing Wolverine when Magneto arranged the setup to convince the X-Men that Wolverine was sincere, Wraith's face was scarred by Logan's claws. In retribution, Wraith ordered the capture of the X-Men, but failed to catch Logan. He had Xavier hooked up to machines to harness the Professor's telepathy.

The X-Men under the Weapon X program rescued Nick Fury from foreign enemies, but that was not enough to keep General Ross from phasing out the Weapon X program. Wraith used Xavier to dispose of the general with a mental explosion. When the mutants began to break free, Wraith shot Xavier and attempted to flee in a helicopter. Blob held onto Wraith's helicopter, but eventually he lost his grip. Storm tried to fry Wraith with lightning, but Nightcrawler saved the Colonel. As a reward, Wraith tried to kill the teleporter. Nick Fury ended up gunning down the corrupt Colonel.
