Just thought of another obscure mutant most people have no idea exists but I badly wish could be the focus of an arc - ironically a Wolverine arc, even though that's far from my favorite book.
But I'm talking about Chris Bradley, aka Bolt.....who died in the Weapon X book. He was a mutant with electrical powers, created in the 90s in the original X-Men Unlimited title, which was a side series of one-shot stories. His powers manifested while he was at school and he was shunned but Gambit and Jean came and offered him a place at the Institute to help him train with his powers....where he also received training from Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Iceman. Bobby in particular became like his surrogate older brother figure, and it was a really sweet story overall, I loved their dynamic. But then he discovered he had the Legacy Virus and was dying.
He came back in another X-Men Unlimited story not long after that....he'd gone home to live with his parents, but then had run away since his presence was bringing anti-mutant hate groups to his neighborhood. Bobby heard about this and went to go look for him, eventually enlisting Wolverine's help when he discovered that in a Legacy Virus support group, Chris had gotten close with another mutant dying from the Legacy Virus....none other than Wolverine's old teammate and friend, Maverick. When they finally caught up with them, Chris insisted on staying with Maverick, cuz he said Bobby didn't get what it was like, what he was going through, and Logan eventually convinced Bobby that Chris would be better off with Maverick and that Maverick would look out for him.
During the time Chris was with Maverick, he learned all kinds of spy trade from him. His Legacy Virus went into remission at one point, and he ended up joining an incarnation of the New Warriors in the late 90s, for a run that only lasted about 12 issues. Then he went back into Limbo....until Weapon X.
In the Weapon X series, Maverick was killed in very early issues. Not long after a new person disguised as Maverick showed up foiling Weapon X's plots everywhere he could. This second Maverick was in fact Chris Bradley. He blamed Weapon X for Maverick's death and had set out to get vengeance for his friend and mentor. But eventually, Chris was shot dead by Weapon X's Agent Zero......who turned out to in fact be the original Maverick. He'd FAKED his death in order to infiltrate Weapon X and take them down at any cost.....and he didn't realize who this fake Maverick was and thought it was just someone capitalizing on his old reputation.....only realizing too late that it was in fact Chris.
Now Maverick is back and a regular antagonist in the current Wolverine title. Kinda a man without a country idea, he's a mercenary for hire with no allegiance to anyone and no problem fucking over Krakoa and Wolverine on the regular.
I'd LOVE for Chris to be resurrected now, and for Bobby to be one of the crowd waiting to greet him, maybe even the one asking 'How do I know its you' and give them a long deserved reunion.....and then find out just HOW Chris died, or more explicitly the fact that his murderer, Agent Zero, was actually Maverick....and then just go postal hunting down Maverick with Logan trying to play damage control since he still believes there's hope for Maverick or whatever. And have Bobby just snarking at him the whole time "hey Logan, remember when you told me to trust you, that my little buddy Chris who believed in me and depended on me would be safe and BETTER OFF with your old pal Maverick? Remember that? Remind me, how'd that work out for Chris again? Hmm?"
