Fictional character biography
Tommy is a young Morlock living under the streets of New York. She flees the city after the Marauders kill some of her Morlock friends under as yet undetailed circumstances. She is rescued by the Hellfire Club mercenary Richard Salmons and brought to Los Angeles, where the Marauders track her down. Stunned by one of Harpoon's spears, Richard begs Tommy to give him his gun. Tommy panicks and flees, abandoning Richard, who was soon afterwards shot by Scalphunter.[1]
Tommy hitchhikes a train ride back to New York. She is trailed by some of the Marauders to 'The Alley', the Morlock home in the New York sewer tunnels. Just when Tommy is about to flee into the tunnels, she is incapacitated by Harpoon and then shot by Scalphunter[2] off-panel. She was the first person to die in the Marvel Mutant Massacre.
Powers and abilities
- Tommy had the ability to become two-dimensional.
Retcon
- Although Uncanny X-Men #210 shows that the Marauders followed her into the Alley, Marvel has retconned the events of the Mutant Massacre to say that Gambit was responsible for leading the Marauders to the Alley.[3]
Other media
Television
- Tommy appears in the X-Men episode "Captive Hearts." She is among the featured Morlocks that fight the X-Men. In "Secrets Not Long Buried," Tommy is one of the many residents of the mutant-dominated community of Skull Mesa.
