Fictional character biography

Roxy Washington is daughter of celebrity couple Roy "Daddy Libido" Washington and Angel "Sexy Mutha" Depres, both very popular hip hop artists. Having appeared in her parents' rap videos from a young age, Washington was often targeted by would-be kidnappers and assassins. Hip hop is a cultural movement that began amongst urban African American youth in New York and has since spread around the world. ...


Destined to follow in her parents' footsteps, Washington rather turned her back on the music industry and enrolled as a student at the Xavier Institute under the tutelage of Gambit. At the Institute, Washington proved herself more interested in improving herself rather in the escalating human/mutant situation. Her school record shows her to be a good and attentive student with a strong sense of responsibility.

As a member of Gambit's squad, Washington was forced to deal with the arrival of newcomer Foxx's infatuation with her teacher, despite being attracted to Foxx herself, until Foxx was revealed to be the shapeshifting Mystique. Whether she considers herself lesbian or bisexual is not yet known. Bling retained her powers after M-Day. She has been seen helping out with Havok's squad during the Sentinels' arrival and Apocalypse's return due to lack of members, particularly Polaris's depowerment, Wolverine's frequent disappearances, and Gambit's betrayal.

New X-Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1254 words)
New X-Men is a superhero comic book published by Marvel Comics, a spin-off of the hugely popular X-Men franchise.
The idea by the newly appointed Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada, was for flagship titles like X-Men to regain some of its former glory, as well as regaining critical acclaim.
Whereas the other X-Men comics mostly deal with established adult mutants, this comic concentrates on the lives of a group of younger mutants (age range: 15 to 17) who live at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning to learn coping with their strange new powers.
