Fictional character biography

When Apocalypse infects the infant Cable with a techno-organic virus, a woman from the distant future introducing herself as Askani appeares to Cyclops and Jean Grey. Askani tells them that she could save the child, but it meant they would never see him again. They hand him over. When Askani and the baby arrive in the future, Askani dies, and her kin clone the baby, hoping to salvage something if he dies. Fortunately, he did not die, and both infant and clone were healthy, until the forces of Apocalypse attack and stole the cloned infant. Apocalypse takes the child as his own and names him Stryfe, after an opponent that nearly destroyed him in the 20th century. This would turn out to be a time loop: the child and the enemy would turn out to be one and the same. Apocalypse intends him to be his new host. When he was about to do so, a teenage Cable and the time-travelling Cyclops and Jean (as “Slym” and “Redd” respectively) interrupt and prevented Apocalypse from transferring, and his essence discorporates. His second in command, Ch’vayre, raises Stryfe afterward. (Most of this happened in the Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix and Askani’son miniseries).

Stryfe grew up to be an insane madman, wanting vengeance on both what he thought were his real parents (Cyclops and Jean) and his spiritual parent, Apocalypse. He raises an army and became a fierce opponent of both Cable’s Clan Askani and the New Canaanites, a democratic regime that replaced Apocalypse’s. During these wars he manages to kill Cable’s wife Jenskot and kidnap and brainwash their son Tyler. In AD 3806, the New Canaanites took full control of the planet, but Stryfe manages to travel back in time some two thousand years. He sows chaos in the ranks of the X-Men, posing as Cable and attacking Professor X, as well as forming a mutant terrorist group, the Mutant Liberation Front along side many powerful mutants including Tamara Kurtz. During this time, he fights a very weakened Apocalypse and nearly destroys him. As a final insurance, he gives Mister Sinister a canister that he claims held genetic material from two thousand years’ worth of Summers descendants; in truth, it held the deadly Legacy Virus.
