Real Name: Paige GuthriePaige's first exposure to the mutant world came during the "Younghunt," the "game" in which the Upstarts competed to capture the remaining members of the New Mutants and the Hellions. Paige saw the abduction of her brother Sam (Cannonball) and his then-girlfriend Boom-Boom and resolved to find them. At the end of the chase, she confronted the Gamesmaster, who was running the Younghunt and challenged him not to kill the captured mutants, but to instead compete with the other mutant leaders (Xavier, Cable, Magneto, Sinister, etc.) to shape the next generation of mutants. The Gamesmaster accepted, and everyone was released.
Paige got little respite, however, as she was herself kidnaped by the Phalanx shortly thereafter. At this point, she met the teens who would later join her in Generation X: M, Skin, Jubilee and Synch, as well as Clarice Ferguson, who died defending her friends from Harvest.
Paige then joined the Massachussetts Academy, and became enamored of new recruit Chamber, though they never really progressed their relationship past one kiss Paige gave him while drunk. Paige was an over-achiever in the Academy, determined to make the X-Men team as soon as possible. She read constantly and tried to cover up her Southern/Midwestern accent as much as possible. Following Synch's death, Paige became a computer expert and set up search programs to monitor the news for anti-mutant incidents, leading to the last few mission Generation X went on before the school closed.
At that time, Paige intended to travel to the American Northwest and participate in some environmental group's activities. Whether she ever did so is unknown, but a few months later she appeared as a member of the X-Corps along with M and Jubilee. Technically "recruits," the girls were there to see what Banshee was really up to. When the X-Men arrived as well, Paige reconciled somewhat with Chamber, though her exact feelings towards him still seemed a little unclear. When the X-Corps fell apart due to Mystique's treachery, Husk ended up back at the Mansion, and became sort of a junior team member. Doing some more research into environmental blights, she found that Worthington Enterprises was to blame for many of the ones in the area. She confronted Archangel about it, but then they were attacked by werewolf mutants and nearly killed. In fact, Husk appeared to have died, but Archangel's blood healed her. During this period, Husk developed a huge crush on Warren, and was eager to pursue a relationship with him. More interestingly, she claimed to have seen Psylocke while "dead" and told Archangel that Betsy wanted him to move on. Archangel has finally come to the same conclusion and has started to pursue Paige as well.
Husk was not involved in Magento IV's attack on New York, and only reappeared six months later, still dating Archangel, at the grand opening of the first Mutantes san Frontieres office in Zanzibar. They were attacked by the Weaponeers, and Husk manifested a number of powers as she rescued the Zanzibarian President, who turned out to be the national hero Askari.
Husk dropped out of sight for a while after Zanzibar, and only re-appeared in Cumberland after Cyclops disbanded the X-Men. It's unclear whether she is still involved with Archangel.
