In 1973, Ink is present in Vietnam when William Stryker arrives to appropriate a group of mutant G.Is including Havok, Daniels and Toad for research purposes by Trask Industries. Mystique arrives, posing as a U.S. Army colonel, and reveals her true form to Stryker, dispatching the guards. Ink also incapacitated several of the guards by inserting an illness using his right palm which contained a tattoo of a biohazard symbol. Under the aid of Mystique, Ink and the other mutant soldiers escaped capture by boarding a plane back to the US.

By the year 2023, an elderly Ink is still living in America. He has been captured by the sentinels and sent to a mutant concentration camp in New York City, New York.


Revised Timeline[]

X-Men: Days of Future Past[]

In 1973, following his departure from Vietnam, Ink is still with Toad, Daniels and Havok. Together they watch Magneto's speech on the news during the unveiling of the Sentinel program by Trask Industries. Due to Wolverine traveling back in time to January 1973, and preventing Bolivar Trask from being assassinated by Mystique, and changing the significant events after that point, the Sentinel Wars never took place. Thus Ink was never sent to the mutant concentration camp in New York City, New York.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Mutant Tattoos - Ink possesses tattoos printed on different parts of his body, each representing and granting him a different ability. Ink has a biohazard symbol on his right palm, a Caduceus symbol right hand and forearm, two lighting bolt symbols on his head, the symbol of Colossus organic steel skin on his left hand and forearm and a tribal Phoenix symbol over his right eye.

    • Illness Inducement - The biohazard symbol on his right palm grants him the ability to induce sicknesses onto other people. When directed at other people (without any visible energy projection between them), this causes his target to suffer the effects of radiation poisoning: specifically, it made them start vomiting uncontrollably, though it is unclear if prolonged exposure would have done more damage.

  • Possesses many of the same tattoos as his Earth-616 counterpart, including a phoenix over his right eye, a lightning bolt across his right temple, armor-like banding on his left hand and up his forearm, an explosive symbol on his right bicep and a biohazard symbol on his right palm.
