[edit] Biography

Shalimar Fox is one of the genetically engineered individuals called "New Mutants", who possess superhuman abilities. Shalimar herself is classified as a "feral", meaning that she has animal genes spliced with her own to give her increased physical abilities. She has been given feline characteristics, granting her enhanced senses, strength, reflexes, and leaping ability. When angered, her eyes sometimes take on a catlike appearance. As she is part animal, she has a heightened fear of fire.

Shalimar Fox has a difficult relationship with her family, forming one of the subplots of the show's early seasons. She is currently a member of the organization Mutant X, which attempts to see to the welfare of New Mutants, as well as preventing them from abusing their powers.

Shalimar was called by the hero name Shadowfox in early drafts of the show before they decided not to use hero names.

She is also romantically involved with the mutant Brennan Mulwray.
