Emplates, Omega Squad, X.S.E., X.U.E., X-Factor II

Notes:

Before Bishop came to our time, Shard was killed by the Emplates and transformed into one of them in X.S.E. #3. In X.S.E. #4 Bishop had her taken to Stark/Fujikawa and downloaded her mind into a holographic projector, which he brought with him to the past. The first appearance of her holo-tech projection was Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #314. Forge upgraded the holo-tech in Bishop #2, making Shard's holo form interactive and tangible. When Bastion attempted to destroy her holo-matrix in Uncanny X-Men Annual '96, Shard reconstituted herself as a photonic lifeform so that she could sustain herself by absorbing light particles, which she could also release as energy blasts approximating her original mutant power.
