Onyxx (Sidney Green[1])is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Universe, one of the student body in the Xavier Institute. His first appearance was in X-Men vol. 2 #171.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Born Sidney Green, Onyxx was passed from various foster homes and orphanages, unable to find acceptance because of his crude behavior[1] and chronic bed-wetting. However, the latter was cured when young Sidney mutated into the huge rock-like form he now possesses, much to his delight. Onyxx currently is a student at the Xavier Institute, assigned to Gambit's training squad. Onyxx had a romantic interest in a new student at the Institute by the name of Foxx. It was later revealed that Foxx was actually a long time adversary of the X-Men, Mystique. She infiltrated the school to destabilize the relationship between Gambit and her foster daughter Rogue. After having revealed herself to the X-Men, Onyxx attacked Mystique for not returning his affection. Mystique escaped and, with the help of an accomplice, injured Onyxx.
Sidney retained his powers post M-Day and is still residing at the school. Onyxx was critically injured by Reverend Stryker during his attack on the institute; Onyxx barely survived.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Onyxx has a craggy granite body which gives him superhuman strength and greater resistance to physical injury. He has also been seen to have a second pair of eyes, but it is unknown if these serve any special purpose.
