Black Tom
Name: Black Tom Cassidy
Real Name: Thomas Cassidy
Age: Unrevealed. Not much older than Banshee, I believe.
Place of Origin: Ireland
First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men #101
Powers: His power has changed throughout the past couple years. He can channel self-generated energy and concussive thermal force through himself and he has mutated himself physically so much that he can now control and mesh into trees and wood. I think.
Background: Black Tom has a history of criminal activity ranging from smuggling to terrorism. With help from his closest friend Juggernaut, and aided by experimental cyborg/plant implants, Black Tom is now a foe to be reckoned with. He wasn't much of a formidable opponent before, in my perspective.
Most recently, he came to the Acadamy for revenge against Banshee, his cousin. Black Tom took Banshee's daughter, Siryn, in when Banshee couldn't and then later on Banshee took her back. In Generation X #25, Black Tom literally takes over the school and engulfs it in the forest that surrounds the school. He took control of Mondo (or, what I and many others think, he created his own version of Mondo), even. In the end, Black Tom was supposedly killed, but you never can tell nowadays.
