Longshot

Longshot

  • Longshot
  • No Dual Identity

Longshot is an artificial being engineered as an entertainer slave in the Mojoverse, an alternate dimension ruled by the ratings-obsessed tyrant Mojo. Given free will by his creator Arize, he led a revolt against his masters before being captured, mind-wiped and exiled to Earth. His uncanny luck and acrobatic skill made him a valuable member of the X-Men in the late 1980s, where he romanced Dazzler. He later served with the Exiles and X-Factor, and was found to be genetically tied to Shatterstar.
