Harvest
Real Name: Unknown
Affiliation: Phalanx

Codename Etymology: Pronounced här'vĭst [From Old English: hærfest]; To gather a crop.
Powers & History: As a member of the Phalanx, Harvest could shapeshift,
access computers with the speed of thought, and create plasma-firing
weapons out of his body, as well as absorb organic and inorganic
materials, including people, to regenerate himself. Harvest had the unique ability to absorb more than one person at a time, and to keep them from being completely assimilated so that he could use them as drones even after his link to the collective was broken. He could also reabsorb the drones to power himself up. His role in the Phalanx's attempt to colonize Earth was to watch over the young mutants the Phalanx had captured, and to see if any of them could be assimilated. Harvest was eventually trapped in one of Clarice Ferguson's ("Blink") spatial distortions, from which neither
of them returned. Even if he had survived the portal, the ensuing
destruction of the Phalanx's base and collective would have reduced
Harvest to so much slag, so it is safe to assume that he is dead.
