Background: Paige Guthrie discovered that her older brother, Sam, was a 
mutant before she was thirteen.  After that she became fixated on the idea of 
being a mutant herself.  She began testing herself for every possible mutant 
power she could think of, until finally one day her power to shed her skin 
manifested.  Husk is one of several young mutants who were detected by 
Professor Xavier with the aid of Cerebro.  Xavier had plans for recruiting 
these mutants to be his next generation of students.  These plans were 
prematurely activated by the appearance of a group of techno-organic 
mutacidal beings known as the Phalanx who accessed Xavier's records to 
discover the locations of the youngsters.  Banshee, Sabretooth, Emma Frost 
and Jubilee went after them to save the young mutants, some of whom didn't 
even know of their powers.  Ultimately most of the kidnapped teens were 
rescued and joined the school under the instruction of Banshee and Emma 
Frost.  Paige wants very much to demonstrate her ability to be a competent 
leader for Generation X, but she has a long way to go.  She doesn't want to 
live in the shadow of her X-Man brother, Cannonball.  Her eagerness to show 
her peers and elders what she's capable of sometimes leads to rash actions.  
She hates being caught "looking stupid" in front of others.

This write-up reflects Husk at the time of  Generation X #24.


Powers/Tactics:  Husk can shed her outer skin for a new form underneath. 
Watching this process in action can cause the uninitiated to become somewhat 
queasy.  Her abilities are really only slightly more limited than her 
imagination is.  So far she's shown the ability to become denser, stronger, 
and more durable.  She can survive fatal attacks if someone "husks" her into 
a new body very quickly.  In the _Age of Apocalypse_ series, in which the 
characters are more experienced, she could transform her arms into spikes and 
acid, change her structure so that desolidification attacks would not affect 
her, impersonate others, and project energy beams.
