DELGADO, MARCO

Delgado's first appearance introduced a mystery about his origins that was never followed up on. When the Acolytes first met Magneto, they were being chased by Major Harry Delgado of SHIELD. A few scenes later, the Acolyte named Delgado appeared fighting in Genosha alongside Cortez. Wolverine and Beast commented on the existence of Harry Delgado while fighting the Acolyte, but it was left vague as to whether they were meant to be the same man (inexplicably changing sides), relatives, or just a coincidence.

Years later, the Marvel Encyclopedia: X-Men decided that the Acolyte WAS Harry Delgado, presumably under the command of Anne Marie Cortez's mind control powers (also invented after-the-fact). Later still, the Handbooks walked back this idea, christening the Acolyte as Marco Delgado, a separate character, in the Dark Reign Files #1.
