Xorn

Kuan-Yin Xorn

  • Xorn
  • Secret

Kuan-Yin Xorn was a Chinese mutant held for years in an isolated prison because a living star burned inside his head. Rescued by the X-Men, he joined the Xavier Institute as a gentle mentor and used his gifts to heal Charles Xavier. In Planet X he was apparently revealed to be Magneto in disguise, a twist later complicated by claims that the real Kuan-Yin had been manipulated by Sublime. His twin Shen took up the name, and both brothers were eventually resurrected on Krakoa.
