Real Name: Suzanne ChanSway was just a young girl who wanted to show her parents that she could live on her own in the big city. So she brought her parents to New York to show them how safe it would be to let her go to school there, but the first night, her parents were gunned down when caught in a gang shoot out. Sway, however, was saved, thanks to her powers making her stop the bullets from hitting her. After a couple days observation in the hospital, she was able to revisit the scene, and her powers kicked in again, letting her see the crime happen again as if it was played by a bunch of phantoms, but it also allowed her to see the ones who shot her family. She was then able to follow the phantom of the car of those who killed her parents back to the home of the gangsters. She then informed the police, and even froze the crooks before they could shoot any of the cops when they arrived.
The detective assigned to the case recognized she was a mutant, and put in a call to someone he knew; Moira MacTaggert. The doctor brought her back to her stateside school and began training her with other mutants, Petra, Darwin, and Kid Vulcan, with whom she became friends. She even was observed several times by the X-Men’s leader, Charles Xavier, who later came to them in a time of desperation. He had lost contact with his X-Men after they were sent to Krakoa and he needed help to save them. The kids agreed to help, and Xavier put them through mental training that would make them think and feel like they had been training with him for months. He then gave them their own uniforms and sent them to Krakoa.
Once there, they lost contact with the Professor, but were able to free Cyclops from the island’s captivity, but severely hurting Krakoa in the process. This infuriated the living island, and after they got Scott on their jet, they went back for the others, but it sent a volcano creature after them. Unfortunately, Sway was blasted in half and she died almost immediately, but when that happened, her body released her powers, causing time to slow around her friends, allowing Petra to have the ground swallow them, even though she died as well. Darwin survived and turned himself to energy and merged with Vulcan, allowing him to survive even as the island was blasted into space, where he was in stasis until the mutant energy wave caused by M-Day his the chunk of island and he was resurrected with his friend’s powers mixed in with his own. Vulcan (or perhaps Darwin) was able to use Sway's phantom power to lead Banshee to the secret recording of Moira's account of the missing team's existence. He also used it to hint to the X-Men in the mansion that something was missing from their shared histories.
Following Vulcan's defeat and separation from Darwin, a memorial funeral was made for Sway and Petra on the mansion grounds.
