Edwin Partridge was a far right-wing US Military General who was at the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Aware of the existence of the Mutant Race, Partridge began to make speeches that subtly hinted at the future of human evolution. Not only did Partridge resent mutants, but he also feared them and the eventual fall of non-mutant humans. Due to his right-wing views, he was allegedly assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.
