Fictional character biography

Trinary is a young mutant from India, [lower-alpha 1] who used her technopathic abilities to hack the bank accounts of the top earning CEOs in her country, redistributing the money to the accounts of many Indian women. This led her father to report her, and she was eventually imprisoned by the IMDF (Indian Mutant Defense Force). Before her capture, Trinary recorded a message asking Jean Grey in Wakanda for help. She was eventually liberated from the IMDF by Jean Grey and other X-Men. [2] She joined the X-Men when they were attacked by an IMDF deployed Sentinel, which Trinary was able to control, using it to help the X-Men escape to Wakanda. [5]

Trinary went on many X-Men missions, including the defeat of Cassandra Nova. She also received an offer from Iron Man to become his protege, which she declined. [6]

Krakoan age

Trinary became a citizen of the sovereign nation-state of Krakoa and was in charge of the secondary and external systems. When the X-Men were on the mission of destroying the Mother Mold in space and preventing the creation of Nimrod, she was part of the scientific team coordinating communications between the X-Men and the base in Krakoa. [7] [8]

Trinary had gone back to stealing funds from rich people when M invited her to join X-Corporation. She accepted and joined the Board of Directors at X-Corporation and became the team's technician. She connected the interface at their floating headquarters with all the technological upgrades from Krakoa. [4]

Powers and abilities

Trinary is a technopath and can control electronic devices, digital signals, computers, etc with her mind. She can only control items within a certain (unspecified) range. [2] [6]

Reception

In August 2020, Matthew Sandage from Screen Rant commented that the story of X-Men: Days of Future Past would have changed or possibly ended quickly if Trinary was included in the film, as Trinary could have reprogrammed the Sentinels with her mind. [5]
