Kylun

FIRST APPEARANCE: Excalibur Vol. 1 #2 (November 1988)

Colin McKay was a mutant child who was fleeing from soldiers sent to capture him by Vixen. He discovered the robot Widget, who created a portal to transport Colin to another dimension, to a world called 'Ee'rath'.

The natives of Ee'rath regarded Colin's appearance as a good omen. They escorted him to the exiled royal household. The Queen, Ai'sha, placed Colin in the care of her counselor, a reptilian mystic named Zz'ria. He trained Colin to be a warrior. Colin aged and his mutant abilities transformed his features into a more leonine appearance. He took the symbol of Widget as his totem. Falling in love with the queen's daughter, Princess Sa'tneen, he proposed marriage to her, and she accepted.

Necrom, frightened of the strength of the queen's people, launched an attack. It soon turned into a massacre. Ai'sha, Zz'ria, and thousands more perished. Sa'tneen and hundreds more were captured. Kylun gathered an army and freed Sa'tneen from the forces that planned to sacrifice her.

Kylun joins forces with Excalibur, making friends with the team's long-term ally, Alistaire Stuart. Kylun's old friend Widget returned, in a new form. Excalibur's headquarters was becoming infected with windows into alternate realities, the same way Kylun himself came to Earth. At the same time, Necrom attacked. Kylun helped in the fight, though Necrom's destruction was actually brought about by Rachel Summers.

Kylun later helped investigate the disappearance of 27 older citizens from a small English village. He was caught up in an Alice of Wonderland-style fantasy-land, created by Joyboy of the Technet and the Red Queen of the Crazy Gang. Kylun personally ended up being mentally influenced into fishing with the Gryphon and Mock Turtle. In the end, Captain Britain talked Kylun out of the influence of this pleasant land, his friends were recovered and the older people were allowed to stay, as they were willing participants.

X-Man had sent the mutant to a different plane of existence he created where he attempted to male a utopia where they and all other mutants would be at peace, altering their memories so they wouldn't resist. Colin McKay worked at Studio X as the personal trainer for its main star, Nightcrawler. He showed up at an after party for one of Kurt's movies, Mutants on Mars, letting him know that he needed to up his workouts to become pure perfection. Later on, Colin showed up at the fan dinner along side Nightcrawler and the others as a part of his entourage. While not shown, it can be presumed that Kylun was returned to the real world when X-Man decided to release the mutants he had trapped in his plane.

He was recently seen on the mutant-only nation of Krakoa.
