Corkscrew is a mutant in Marvel Comics associated with X-Statix. He was created by Peter Milligan and Mike Allred, and made his first (and only) appearance in X-Statix #1.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Corkscrew participated in a try-out held by X-Statix to find a replacement member for the recently deceased U-Go Girl. He was a promising candidate, and had a rep for going in where it hurts. He was seen kicking a green-skinned man but then used his powers to kill an opponent moments later. X-Statix owner Spike Freeman determined that Corkscrew had qualified for "Code X", which meant that his mutation had driven him insane. He said that Doop would handle it. Doop took Corkscrew out into the woods and filmed him further going from cheery, to a horse-butchering, sobbing breakdown. At which point, Doop ended the man's misery, killing him with an axe and a smile. Corkscrew was shown to have blue-tinted blood. [1].
[edit] Powers and abilities
Corkscrew is a mutant who can turn his forearms (and possibly other sections of his body) into hard, sharp tendrils, which he tends to spin around in a 'corkscrew' motion to drill at his enemies. He has silver skin and wavy silver hair.
