[edit] History

Dallas Gibson, aka Specter, was once an advisee of Emma Frost, co-headmaster at the Xavier Institute, and thus had made acquaintances of the students who would be assigned to the Hellions. However, with the invention of the training squad system, he was assigned a new advisor, Cyclops, and placed in a different training squad, the Corsairs, which includes the three surviving Stepford Cuckoos, Quill, and Dryad. Specter is now one of the thousands of mutants who lost his powers as a result of the House of M.

A boy with short blond hair much like Dallas's was seen on the bus that was blown up by William Stryker and his followers. However, he has been stated to be alive during interviews with Chris Yost.

[edit] Powers

Specter's mutant powers were removed during the House of M storyline. Formerly, he could blend with his own shadow, which gave him undefined darkness-based powers. He could not stay in shadow-form for too long without succumbing to his own darkness. The shadow form was apparently stronger during the day.
