[edit] Fictional character biography

Little is known about Hack before he made his appearance on the desolate island of Genosha. He was one of the few survivors after Cassandra Nova programmed her Wild Sentinels to decimate the island, killing over 16 million mutants.

Somehow he found other survivors and allied himself with Unus the Untouchable and his gang. He was a very valuable asset on the island since all forms of electronic communication were eradicated or made useless by the resulting electro-magnetic damage. Inside of the gang, he became close friends with Hub and the two of them began to doubt if Unus' exclusive, clique-like strategy was the best way.

When a mentally ill Scarlet Witch removed the mutant gene from over 90% of the mutant population, Hack was one of the many who lost his powers. However, Quicksilver—as an act of penance for his part in the worldwide depowering—stole some Terrigen crystals from the Inhumans in an attempt to repower some mutants. He started his mass efforts in Genosha and effectively restored the abilities of many on the island including Wicked, Freakshow, and Callisto. But in a cruel twist of fate, their abilities were amblified beyond control and quickly faded. Hack's fate since that time is unknown.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Hack was gifted with a finely tuned form of telepathy that allowed him to "hack" into almost any mind.
