Publication history

In March 2014, ForgetMeNot debuted in X-Men: Legacy #300 as the member of X-Men. He was created by writers Mike Carey, Simon Spurrier and Christos Gage. Spurrier also used the character during X-Force (vol. 4) and Legion of X. [1] [2]

Biography

ForgetMeNot had been member of X-Men before the events of X-Men: Legacy but due to his powers, he went unnoticed by his teammates. Professor X had placed a psychic reminder for ForgetMeNot's existence once an hour. ForgetMeNot battled against Brood [3] and he was severely depressed by the death of Professor X in Avengers vs. X-Men , as he had lost his connection with others. He sought Mimic and Omega to remove his powers but their influences instead convinced him to retain his powers. [4]

ForgetMeNot also joined X-Force briefly. During Krakoan Age, he relocated to Krakoa and partnered up with Juggernaut during their stint in Nightcrawler's Legionaries. [5] [6] Forge had developed devices that would enable the X-Men and his teammates to remember ForgetMeNot. [1] When Nimrod took control over Krakoa by using Warlock, The Legionaries had no choice but to kill Warlock. However, the Legionaries failed to do it because of Nimrod's defenses. Due to the nature of his powers, ForgetMeNot was able to get close enough to land the killing blow. The resulting explosion led to his and Warlock's death. [7]

ForgetMeNot was resurrected and joined X-Factor during "From the Ashes". [8]

Power and abilities

ForgetMeNot has the mutant power of being forgotten (except to those who have either a psychic reminder or devices created by Forge). When ForgetMeNot isn't within the view of an individual, his existence and any memories of him completely disappear from their mind. His power also interferes with individuals' aim and telemetry of mechanical devices. [1] [4]
