The great nation of Krakoa offered a new lease on life for many mutants. Mutants thought lost to time. Mutants who no longer had their powers. And mutants whose lives were cut short by one means or another. Perhaps one of the biggest examples of a mutant whose (young) life was tragically ended, this former student at the Xavier Institute had a very hard life. His obvious mutation made him easy pickings for bullies and abuse at the hands of his own father. But when he found a friend in the X-Men's Juggernaut, this young mutant sadly died thinking that the Juggernaut had betrayed him. Thanks to the Krakoan Resurrection Protocols, you can now read about the return of... SQUIDBOY!
