Notes: 

Wildside's real name was revealed in X-Force (1st series) #26.

In Weapon X (2nd series) #5-10, Wildside received bionic hands that could morph into extendible claws. His mind was virtually wiped clean by Cable's telepathic power at the end of this arc. He survived, but was depowered on M-Day as confirmed in New Avengers (1st series) #18.

Wildside's abilities were later restored by the Mothervine virus in X-Men: Blue #26. He received a secondary mutation which allowed him to make his distorted hallucinations physically tangible. However, he now seems back to his original power set. His bionic claws also appear to be gone.
