Lesser Known X-Women Trivia Quiz

Answer: Tattoo

Tattoo was able to form words on her skin, and could also phase her body, but she was depowered after M-Day. She and most of the Omega Gang were sent to a human prison following the riot. Esme Stepford and Ernst were students who became members of Magneto's Brotherhood, and Foxx was a false identity created by Mystique so that she could pass herself off as a student.

Answer: Savage Land Mutates

Why Vertigo decided to leave the Savage Land Mutates and hook up with the Marauders has never been revealed. She only worked with the Femizons briefly and not until years after she became a Marauder. Given the fact that the leader of the Marauders, Mr. Sinister, routinely creates clone back-ups of the team, it's entirely possible the Vertigo working with the Femizons wasn't the real deal.

Answer: Josephine

Infectia was an enemy of X-Factor who could mutate other living organisms with just a touch, usually a kiss. She was one of the first known mutants to contract the deadly Legacy Virus, though she was able to delay its effects for a while thanks to her mutation. Her first name was revealed to be Josephine in 'X-MEN' #27, the same issue in which she died.

Answer: Charles Xavier

Amelia left Charles when he made the decision to form the X-Men. At the time, she believed fighting for his beliefs was a mistake, though she eventually came to see that he was right to do so, but Magneto's cause appealed to her more.

Answer: Feral and Thornn

Feral and Thornn (Maria and Lucia Callasantos), both with cat-like mutations, ran away from home and sought refuge with the Morlocks after Feral killed their mother.

Answer: Nightside

Though she has been a member of the Imperial Guard in good standing for many years, Nightside wasn't present during the trial of the Phoenix which occurred in the classic 'UNCANNY X-MEN' #137. Though the Imperial Guard were winning the fight, Hussar and Manta being responsible for the defeats of Storm and Nightcrawler, the fight really ended when Phoenix sacrificed herself.

Answer: Melody

Melody Guthrie was a student at Xavier's school who could generate an aura of energy that allowed her to fly, but she lost her powers during M-Day.
