AO JUN
Real Name: Ao Jun
First Appearance: New X-Men Annual 2001 (Vol. 1) #1, September 2001
Powers: Ao Jun’s mutant power was a form of self-replication. The human body constantly sheds hair and skin flakes during the day, tiny bits of cast-off from a person. In Ao Jun's case, his sheddings underwent rapid cellular growth and regeneration after it left his person, growing into full-sized proto-clones. These copies appeared naked and almost zombie-like, possessing very little self direction and largely dependent on the real Ao Jun to command them.
They possessed extremely short lifespans, quickly degrading into biological compost in a matter of minutes, but new copies were always being generated even as the old ones died off. Although not every cast-off became a full-grown duplicate (as that would be literally hundreds or thousands of copies), enough formed so that Ao Jun was constantly surrounded with 2-6 copies of himself, available to fight his battles for him.

He was a Chinese military official. Back in the 1950s, he was part of the group that captured Xorn.
When Xorn escaped custody, it took two weeks to find him. When they did, they built his new prison in the same location they captured him.
Ao Jun’s own mutant power manifested during the recapture. For punishment, he was made Xorn’s jailer and caretaker.
