Real name: Unknown
Other known aliases: None
Occupation: Student.
Current group affiliation: Generation X.
Past group affiliations: Morlocks, X-Terminators II.
Major enemies: Marauders
First appearance: Uncanny X-Men #179.
Origin:
Description: Leech is a young boy with green skin, no hair and solid yellow
eyes. He is 4'2'' and weighs 67 lbs.

Explanation of the conversion: Since Leech's power is cumlative, and few
Marvel heroes have Power Defense, I reasoned he didn't need a lot of drain
to negate most super powers. A few phases near Leech and most powers start
to fail. I didn't include the telekinesis power he displayed in the X-Men
television series, that made no sense at all.

History: Little is known of the origin of the mutant known as Leech. He was
presumably abandoned by human parents and discovered by the mutant known
as Caliban. Caliban took the young Leech with him into the network of
tunnels known as the "Alley" running beneath Manhattan which housed the
mutant outcasts called Morlocks. There he lived a lonely unhappy existence
until the empathetic Annalee adopted him after her own children were shot
dead by the Marauder assassin called Scalphunter.

Leech experienced a short-lived happiness as the foster son of Annalee
until the enigmatic figure called Mister Sinister sent the Marauders to
wipe out the Morlock community. Although the Marauders were opposed during
the so-called "mutant massacre" by various super heroes, Annalee was slain
in the melee. Leech, however, was saved by his friends in Power Pack and
by the members of X-Factor. X-Factor was searching for their autistic
trainee, Artie Maddicks, whose appearance was similar to Leech's own.

Maddicks and Leech became fast friends and X-Factor adopted Leech and began
to train him in the use of his power. During a day of play in the park
with Power Pack, Artie and Franklin Richards the kids were attacked by
Quicksilver and Lockjaw, who were trying to kidnap Franklin while under
mind control from Maximus the Mad. Leech managed to help delay them by
dampening their powers until X-Factor arrived (X-Factor Annual #2).

For a while, Leech and Artie were enrolled at the St. Simon Boarding
School, during which time they worked with six other mutants trained by
X-Factor calling themselves the X-Terminators II, but were kidnapped by
demons during the Inferno crisis. He eventually left them to go back to
school, but was kidnapped by Gene Nation and rescued from them by
Generation X. He has been with them ever since.

Powers: Leech is a mutant with the ability to completely negate super
abilities in the area around him. This includes mutant powers, as well as
any other unusual abilities, for instance he once negated Lockjaw's
ability to teleport. He cannot turn off his power, but can control the
area he effects to some degree.
