WARP SAVANT

 

WARP SAVANT

Real Name: Unrevealed

First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #394, July 2001

Powers: Warp Savant had the mutant power of deconstructive extraction. He could break down matter and reduce it to simplified psionic patterns stored within his own mind. Objects were physically transported into his subconscious, where they materialized in a representational reality of his current environment or previous thoughts and memories. Warp seemed aware of what happened to objects he deconstructed, but the extent to which he was conscious of what happened in his inner reality, or if he could shape events there is unknown. His power could be directed at a special person or object, or used like a defensive field that deconstructed all objects that entered a certain radius of his body. He appeared vulnerable to energy attacks, as his power seemed to provide no defense to Cyclops' optic blasts.

Although Wolverine and Jean Grey were transported into Warp Savant's reality, theirs was a singularly unique experience. They never encountered anyone else Warp Savant had deconstructed, not even the soldiers who disappeared mere moments earlier. The representative reality collapsed around them when Warp Savant's powers were temporarily neutralized, but why they re-materialized safely in the real world while nothing else did is unknown. Warp Savant apparently committed suicide with his powers, but how he could extract himself into his own subconscious while simultaneously destroying it is yet another unknown factor when it comes to his ability.
